Article Synopsis
- Alnus cremastogyne, an actinorhizal plant, forms a mutualistic relationship with Frankia species, creating nitrogen-fixing root nodules.
- The study identifies three new compounds called 3-pentanol glycosides and seventeen known compounds in the root nodules, which are primarily found in these nodules rather than in other plant parts.
- Findings suggest that root nodule suspension treatment leads A. cremastogyne to emit 3-pentanol, contributing to our understanding of specialized metabolites and signal exchange in the symbiotic relationship.
Casuarina equisetifolia L. (Casuarinaceae), an actinorhizal plant, exhibits mutualistic symbiosis with Frankia and promotes nitrogen fixation in root nodules. While the exchange of metabolites between host plant and microsymbiont is well understood in legume symbioses, the situation in the symbiosis between nitrogen-fixing Frankia and actinorhizal plants is less clear.
