Researchers expose new symbiosis origin theories, identify experimental systems for plant life

Research work on symbiosis — a mutually beneficial relationship between living organisms — is pushing back against the newer theory of a ‘single-origin’ of root nodule symbiosis (RNS) — that all symbiosis between plant root nodules and nitrogen-fixing bacteria stems from one point–instead suggesting a ‘multiple-origin’ theory of sybiosis which opens a better understanding for genetically engineering crops.
