This book is the self-contained sixth volume of a comprehensive
series on nitrogen fixation. It presents the state-of-the-art in
regards to actinorhizal symbioses. Like legumes, actinorhizal
plants form root nodules that host nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria.
However, because the macrosymbionts are, with one exception, woody
plants rather than crop plants, actinorhizal symbioses are less
well-known than legume symbioses to which they are phylogenetically
related. Actinorhizal plants come from eight different families.
They can grow on marginal soils by virtue of these symbioses and
are used extensively in reforestation, soil reclamation, and desert
agroforestry. The diversity of the involved host plants poses a
variety of challenges to the actinorhizal symbiosis and results in
interesting strategies, for example, to cope with the O2 dilemma or
nutrient exchange between plant and bacterium. The actinorhizal
micro-symbionts are Gram-positive actinomycetes of the genus
Frankia...
