A tale of two lineages: how the strains of the earliest divergent symbiotic Frankia clade spread over the world

A tale of two lineages: how the strains of the earliest divergent symbiotic Frankia clade spread over the world

Abstract It is currently assumed that around 100 million years ago, the common ancestor to the Fabales, Fagales, Rosales and Cucurbitales in Gondwana, developed a root nodule symbiosis with a nitrogen-fixing bacterium. The symbiotic trait evolved first in Frankia cluster-2; thus, strains belonging t...
