...An alternative model proposes two independent gains within the legumes: the first at the most recent common ancestor of the papilionoids and the clade to which Castanospermum australe belongs (21-291 enriched-expanded clusters), or at the base of the papilionoids (4-32), and the second gain at the base of the caesalpinioid andmimosoid clade (7-92)....

...In addition to this scattered distribution, a further unsolved mystery that surrounds the evolution of NFN symbiosis is its diversity at multiple levels: Legumes (Fabales) and the nonlegume Parasponia (Rosales) (8) form nodules with rhizobia, whereas species of the actinobacterial genus Frankia infect actinorhizal plants from eight plant families of the orders Fagales, Cucurbitales, and Rosales (9)....
