Convergent evolution of NFP-facilitated root nodule symbiosis

SignificanceRoot nodule symbiosis, a partnership between certain plants and bacteria in specialized root organs that convert atmospheric nitrogen to bioavailable forms, is key to nitrogen cycling in natural and agroecosystems. The evolutionary origins of this symbiosis remain uncertain due to confli...
