Different arbuscular mycorrhizal interactions in male and female plants of wild Carica papaya L.

The different resource demands on male and female plants of dioecious species can lead to secondary sexual dimorphisms. Male and female plants might also interact differently with antagonists and mutualists. We used a repeated measures natural experiment in five subpopulations to investigate seconda...

description The different resource demands on male and female plants of dioecious species can lead to secondary sexual dimorphisms. Male and female plants might also interact differently with antagonists and mutualists. We used a repeated measures natural experiment in five subpopulations to investigate secondary sexual dimorphism in Carica papaya including interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Male and female plants did not differ in size or growth rate, but male plants flowered earlier than female plants. We observed different patterns of root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in male and female plants of C. papaya. These differences between the sexes preceded the flowering of most female plants. Female plants were sensitive to changes in soil fertility and adjusted the extent of their root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi accordingly. Overall, the different resource demands on male and female plants seem to modulate the interactions of C. papaya with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
