Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of substrate nitrate concentration on symbiotic nodule formation in actinorhizal plants
Steven J. Kohls,Dwight D. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: The observed response of Elaeagnus toadded nitrate compared to other actinorhizal plants appears to demonstrate that root hair infected plants are much more sensitive to the inhibitory effects of added nitrate than plants infected by intercellular penetration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of N2 fixation and n cycling by Dryas along a chronosequence within the forelands of the athabasca glacier, Canada
TL;DR: The absence of N 2 -fixing activity by D. drummondii during the early stages of the sere, the higher concentration of N, and the less negative δ 15 N values for foliar N content in plants adjacent to this taxon, suggest an alternative mechanism for the spatial and temporal vegetation change during primary succession.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrate effects on nodulation and nitrogenase activity of actinorhizal Casuarina studied in split-root systems
TL;DR: Nodulation and nitrogenase activity of inoculated Casuarina cunninghamiana Miq.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of frankia nodule endophytes of the actinorhizal shrub ceanothus as assessed by rflp patterns from single nodule lobes
Dwight D. Baker,Beth C. Mullin +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that considerable diversity exists among Frankia strain symbiotic with Ceanothus, as has been shown for pure-cultured Frankia strains isolated from other actinorhizal genera and for the study of Frankia ecology in planta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection trials for effective N2-fixing Casuarina-Frankia combinations in Egypt
TL;DR: From the results of the experiment, it is clear that performance and nitrogen fixation are related to the interaction between the host plant and the Frankia strain, and it is appropriate to conduct trials of symbiont compatibility to improve yield.
