← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when a legume crop's root hairs fail to form a proper infection thread?
A)Limited nitrogen availability to the plant✓
B)Decreased efficiency of photosynthesis
C)Increased susceptibility to fungal diseases
D)Reduced uptake of phosphorus from soil
💡 Explanation
Limited nitrogen availability increases because the essential symbiosis for nitrogen fixation relies on the root hair infection thread mechanism, enabling rhizobia to colonize root nodules; therefore, without it, atmospheric nitrogen isn't converted, rather than other nutrient deficiencies.
