Background Nitrogen is an essential nutrient in plant growth. The ability of a plant to supply
all or part of its requirements from biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) thanks to interactions …

Sustainable agriculture requires the application of bioinoculants to control plant pests and
increase productivity. Thus, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have emerged as …

The actinobacteria Frankia spp. are able to induce the formation of nodules on the roots of a
large spectrum of actinorhizal plants, where they convert dinitrogen to ammonia in exchange …

Actinorhizal plants are able to establish a symbiotic relationship with Frankia bacteria
leading to the formation of root nodules. The symbiotic interaction starts with the exchange of …

Frankia represent a unique group of filamentous, sporangia-forming bacteria, renowned for
their exceptional capacity to establish symbiotic partnerships with actinorhizal plants. The …

Actinorhizal symbioses are mutualistic associations between plants belonging to eight
angiosperm families and soil bacteria of the genus Frankia. These interactions lead to the …

Casuarina glauca is a fast-growing multipurpose tree belonging to the Casuarinaceae family
and native to Australia. It requires limited use of chemical fertilizers due to the symbiotic …

The actinorhizal symbiosis is a major contributor to the global nitrogen budget, playing a
dominant role in ecological successions following disturbances. The mechanisms involved …

Symbiosis established between actinorhizal plants and Frankia spp., which are nitrogen-
fixing actinobacteria, promotes nodule organogenesis, the site of metabolic exchange. The …

Frankia is a representative genus of nitrogen-fixing (N 2-fixing) actinobacteria; however, the
molecular mechanisms underlying various phenomena such as the differentiation of a N 2 …
