Résumé
The symbiosis among plants, rhizobia, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is one of the most well-known symbiotic relationships in nature. However, it is still unclear how bilateral/tripartite symbiosis works under resource-limited conditions and the diverse genetic backgrounds of the host. Using a full factorial design, we manipulated mungbean accessions/subspecies, rhizobia, and AMF to test their effects on each other. Rhizobia functions as a typical facilitator by increasing plant nitrogen content, plant weight, chlorophyll content, and AMF colonization. In contrast, AMF resulted in a tradeoff in plants (reducing biomass for phosphorus acquisition) and behaved as a competitor in reducing rhizobia fitness (nodule weight). Plant genotype did not have a significant effect on AMF fitness, but different mungbean accessions had distinct rhizobia affinities. In contrast to previous studies, the positive relationship between plant and rhizobia fitness was attenuated in the presence of AMF, with wild mungbean being more responsive to the beneficial effect of rhizobia and attenuation by AMF. We showed that this complex tripartite relationship does not unconditionally benefit all parties. Moreover, rhizobia species and host genetic background affect the symbiotic relationship significantly. This study provides a new opportunity to re-evaluate the relationships between legume plants and their symbiotic partners.

BACKGROUND
The symbiosis among plants, rhizobia, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is one of the most well-known symbiotic relationships in nature. However, it is still unclear how bilateral/tripartite symbiosis works under resource-limited conditions and the diverse genetic backgrounds of the host.

RESULTS
Using a full factorial design, we manipulated mungbean accessions/subspecies, rhizobia, and AMF to test their effects on each other. Rhizobia functions as a typical facilitator by increasing plant nitrogen content, plant weight, chlorophyll content, and AMF colonization. In contrast, AMF resulted in a tradeoff in plants (reducing biomass for phosphorus acquisition) and behaved as a competitor in reducing rhizobia fitness (nodule weight). Plant genotype did not have a significant effect on AMF fitness, but different mungbean accessions had distinct rhizobia affinities. In contrast to previous studies, the positive relationship between plant and rhizobia fitness was attenuated in the presence of AMF, with wild mungbean being more responsive to the beneficial effect of rhizobia and attenuation by AMF.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
We showed that this complex tripartite relationship does not unconditionally benefit all parties. Moreover, rhizobia species and host genetic background affect the symbiotic relationship significantly. This study provides a new opportunity to re-evaluate the relationships between legume plants and their symbiotic partners.
