A Resurrected Scenario: Single Gain and Massive Loss of Nitrogen-Fixing Nodulation
2019, Trends in Plant ScienceCitation Excerpt :The first hypothesis has been almost universally dismissed, whereas the latter is widely accepted on the basis of two main arguments [14–24]. First, it comprises scenarios that require fewer evolutionary events and that are supported by phylogenetic ancestral state reconstruction studies [14–16,20,22]. Second, there is considerable variation among nodulating lineages in the type of microsymbiont, nodule ontogeny, and physiology [25–28].
Robust Frankia phylogeny, species delineation and intraspecies diversity based on Multi-Locus Sequence Analysis (MLSA) and Single-Locus Strain Typing (SLST) adapted to a large sample size
2018, Systematic and Applied MicrobiologyCitation Excerpt :This group is likely to be the most ancient branching in Frankia’s evolutionary history and could have diverged 263–285 Myr bp, long before actinorhizal plants appearance in the fossil records [25] dated between 70 Myr [115] and 100 Myr [127]. The broad host range – encompassing four phylogenetically distant families [57,116] – of Cluster 2 strains could be a remnant of a symbiotic ancestor common to present-day lineages [117]. On the opposite, Clusters 1 and 3 comprise the most recently evolved groups of strains.
Typing of nitrogen-fixing Frankia strains by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry
2011, Systematic and Applied MicrobiologyCitation Excerpt :The first sub-group represents strains of the Alnus host infection group, including Casuarina-infective strains, the second sub-group represents yet uncultured endophytes in nodules of Dryas, Coriaria, and Datisca species, the third sub-group represents strains of the Elaeagnus host infection group and the last sub-group represents atypical, non-nitrogen-fixing strains [53]. While atypical, non-nitrogen fixing isolates are generally neglected in phylogenetic studies on the genus Frankia, the first three subgroups, also referred to as clusters 1–3 [12], have widely been confirmed by additional sequence analyses of 16S rRNA gene fragments [11,13,14] or of recA [40], glnA, glnII [12,16] or nifH gene fragments [15,33,45,61], suggesting genotypic classification reflecting physiological differences, i.e., phenotypic traits within the genus Frankia. The differentiation into these three DNA-sequence type groups is further confirmed by DNA–DNA relatedness of pure cultures that differentiate Frankia strains from different host infection groups.
