Signalling and Communication in the Actinorhizal Symbiosis

Book cover Signaling and Communication in Plant Symbiosis

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM,volume 11))

Abstract

More than 200 species of non-legume dicotyledonous plants, mostly trees and shrubs, belonging to eight different families and 24 genera can enter actinorhizal symbioses with the nitrogen-fixing actinomycete Frankia. Actinorhizal nodules consist of multiple lobes, each of which displays a lateral root structure with infected cells in the expanded cortex. Whereas the key molecules involved in the molecular dialogue between the symbiotic partners have not yet been characterized, the development of genomic and molecular tools both in Frankia and in some actinorhizal plants has contributed to a better understanding of this original endosymbiosis.
