Interactions between Root Symbionts, Root Pathogens and Actinorhizal Plants
Authors(1) :-Sarvjeet Yadav Actinorhizal trees with nitrogen-fixing actinomycetes (Frankia sp.) as microsymbionts in root nodules play an important ecological role as pioneer plants on nitrogen-poor soils. Up to 200 perennial species, all trees and shrubs, distributed over about 20 genera, have been found to be nodulated with Frankia as the nodule symbiont. Some of those, e.g., Alnus spp. in temperate regions and Casuarina spp. in subtropical and tropical regions, have great potentials for biomass production and erosion control. The growth of such plants is largely dependent upon the presence of proper Frankia strains in the soil.
