Abstract:
A unique case of microbial symbiont capable of dormancy within its living host cells has been reported in actinorhizal symbioses. Some Frankia strains, named Sp+, are able to sporulate inside plant cells, contrarily to Sp− strains. The presence of metabolically slowed-down bacterial structures in host cells alters our understanding of symbiosis based on reciprocal benefits between both partners, and its impact on the symbiotic processes remains unknown. The present work reports a metabolomic study of Sp+ and Sp− nodules (from Alnus glutinosa), in order to highlight variabilities associated wit

ABSTRACT Frankia species are the most geographically widespread gram-positive plant symbionts, carrying out N2 fixation in root nodules of trees and woody shrubs called actinorhizal plants.

These relationships may make the plant particularly well suited for restoring disturbed land.

Abstract:
The influence of nitrogen reserves on leaf formation of 5- to 6-year-old plants of Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. was investigated using a 15N labelling method. Nitrogen reserves were derived essentially from the root system and along with N fixation by Frankia, supported the growth of the young leaves. The reserves represent 10% of the total nitrogen in the leaves at the end of the growing period under natural or environmentally controlled conditions. The percentage of fixed nitrogen in alder leaves was estimated to be 87% taking into account the nitrogen reserves and using the isotopic compari

Abstract:
Background Recent climatic history has strongly impacted plant populations, but little is known about its effect on microbes. Alders, which host few and specific symbionts, have high genetic diversity in glacial refugia. Here, we tested the prediction that communities of root symbionts survived in refugia with their host populations. We expected to detect endemic symbionts and a higher species richness in refugia as compared to recolonized areas. Methods We sampled ectomycorrhizal (EM) root tips and the nitrogen-fixing actinomycete Frankia communities in eight sites colonized by Alnus glutinos

Abstract:
The members of the genus Frankia are, with a few exceptions, a group of nitrogen-fixing symbiotic actinobacteria that nodulate mostly woody dicotyledonous plants belonging to three orders, eight families and 23 genera of pioneer dicots. These bacteria have been characterized phylogenetically and grouped into four molecular clusters. One of the clusters, cluster 1 contains strains that induce nodules on Alnus spp. (Betulaceae), Myrica spp., Morella spp. and Comptonia spp. (Myricaceae) that have global distributions. Some of these strains produce not only hyphae and vesicles, as other cluster 1

Abstract:
To use the 15N natural abundance method to evaluate the symbiotic nitrogen fixation by actinorhizal trees, it is necessary to determine the isotopic identity of assimilated nitrogen from two sources: the soil and the air. This study reports an isotopic value of fixed nitrogen by two alder species (Alnus incana (L.) Moench and Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. growing on nitrogen-free medium in greenhouse experiments. The δ15N value of the aerial parts was −2. This value was stable with time and did not depend on the Frankia strains used. This value could be used to estimate the nitrogen fixation in

The ability of Alnus tenuifolia to form ectomycorrhizae with potential ectomycorrhizal fungi was investigated. Alnus tenuifolia seedlings raised in growth pouches were inoculated with Frankia to induce nodulation and then with a putative ectomycorrhizal fungus. The fungi used were collected in nearly pure A. tenuifolia stands in Alaska or were found in Alnus nepalensis stands in Nepal. Five species of putative ectomycorrhizal symbionts of alders were tested. Alpova diplophloeus and Paxillus filamentosus formed both mantle and Hartig net.

An rpoD gene-based PCR approach was designed to allow the detection of frankiae in complex samples. Additionally, partial gene sequences obtained using 2 rpoB gene primer sets (named rpoB-1 and rpoB-2) were used to generate phylogenetic eurograms to find a molecular tool able to assess biodiversity among Frankia strains.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi act synergistically to improve plant performance when grown on heavy metal mine tailings. Seedlings were inoculated with Frankia, Paxillus involutus (Batsch) Fr., or a combination of both and grown in 100% peat, a 1:1 mix of peat and tailings, or 100% tailings for 20 weeks. Mortality of plants grown on pure tailings (15.0%) and peat–tailings (17.9%) was significantly greater than mortality of plants grown on peat (3.5%). The rate of nodulation and mycorrhizae formation decreased from 90.

This study has focused on root zones where infection by the symbiotic actinomycete Frankia takes place. The zones examined extend from the root cap to the emerging root hair zone. The root cap ensheaths the Alnus root apex and extends over the root surface as a layer of highly flattened cells closely appressed to the root epidermal cell wall. These cells contain phenolic compounds as demonstrated by various histochemical tests. They are externally bordered by a thin cell wall coated by a th
