Abstract
⺠Most plants associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi using an ancient and highly conserved SYM pathway. ⺠Most of this pathway has been lost in some plant families including the Brassicaceae. ⺠This SYM pathway has been usurped by some plant families such as the legumes to instead also associate with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. ⺠The possibility of manipulating this SYM pathway to engineer more efficient associations between nonleguminous crops and nitrogen-fixing bacteria is discussed.
