Abstract The effects of low temperature and reduced light on a Glycine-Bradyrhizobium-Glomus spp. symbiosis were examined in pot experiments. Soybean plants, Glycine max L. Merr. cv. Tachiyutaka, were grown with N fertilization or inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum plus P fertilization or inoculation with Glomus mosseae in the glasshouse. After the flowering stage, half the pots with soybean plants were subjected to low temperature (15°C 14h/13°C 10 h) with light reduced by shading. At 0, 7, 16, and 28 days after the application of the treatments, the growth, nodulation, vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) infection and the N and P contents of the soybean plants were measured. In all symbiont-fertilization combinations, the low-temperature treatment reduced the production of dry matter by the soybeans. Nodulation (weight and number) was slightly reduced by this treatment but the proportion of larger nodules was increased. The root length infected by the VAM fungus was little affected by the low-temperature treatment. Both the nodule weight and the infected root length were linearly related to shoot dry weight regardless of treatment and of the symbiont-fertilization combination used. These results suggest that the growth of the symbionts on the root was in balance with the shoot growth of the host, irrespective of climatic conditions, and imply a considerable degree of host control. P inflows to root systems were greatly affected by low-temperature treatment regardless of the symbiont-fertilization combination. This suggests that a simple comparison of P inflows between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants may give misleading information on the effects of low temperature or reduced light conditions on P uptake by mycorrhizal plants.
