  abstract = {{P}ea forms symbiotic nodules with {R}hizobium leguminosarum sv. viciae ({R}lv). {I}n the field, pea roots can be exposed to multiple compatible {R}lv strains. {L}ittle is known about the mechanisms underlying the competitiveness for nodulation of {R}lv strains and the ability of pea to choose between diverse compatible {R}lv strains. {T}he variability of pea-{R}lv partner choice was investigated by co-inoculation with a mixture of five diverse {R}lv strains of a 104-pea collection representative of the variability encountered in the genus {P}isum. {T}he nitrogen fixation efficiency conferred by each strain was determined in additional mono-inoculation experiments on a subset of 18 pea lines displaying contrasted {R}lv choice. {D}ifferences in {R}lv choice were observed within the pea collection according to their genetic or geographical diversities. {T}he competitiveness for nodulation of a given pea-{R}lv association evaluated in the multi-inoculated experiment was poorly correlated with its nitrogen fixation efficiency determined in mono-inoculation. {B}oth plant and bacterial genetic determinants contribute to pea-{R}lv partner choice. {N}o evidence was found for co-selection of competitiveness for nodulation and nitrogen fixation efficiency. {P}lant and inoculant for an improved symbiotic association in the field must be selected not only on nitrogen fixation efficiency but also for competitiveness for nodulation.},
