The members of the actinomycete genus Frankia are nitrogen-fixing symbionts of many
species of woody dicotyledonous plants belonging to eight families. Several strains isolated …

More than 200 angiosperms, distributed in 25 genera, develop root nodule symbioses
(actinorhizas) with soil bacteria of the actinomycetous genus Frankia. Although most soils …

Agricultural areas of land are deteriorating every day owing to population increase, rapid
urbanization, and industrialization. To feed today's huge populations, increased crop …

Soil bacteria that also form mutualistic symbioses in plants encounter two major levels of
selection. One occurs during adaptation to and survival in soil, and the other occurs in …

A bstract The term``actinorhiza''refers both to the filamentous bacteria Frankia, an
actinomycete, and to the root location of nitrogen-fixing nodules. Actinorhizal plants are …

Fifty strains of Frankia were tested for their ability to nodulate six species of actinorhizal
plants. Pure cultured strains were used to inoculate seedlings of Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn …

Comparative transcriptomics of two actinorhizal symbiotic plants, Casuarina glauca and
Alnus glutinosa, was used to gain insight into their symbiotic programs triggered following …

This book arose from preparatory work by the EDI for two courses on forestry projects, which
indicated the need for a publication bringing together experiences over the last decade in …

Plants that form root‐nodule symbioses are within a monophyletic 'nitrogen‐fixing'clade and
associated signalling processes are shared with the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis …

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 …
