Abstract
The present contribution covers the cross-inoculation between two actinorhizae belonging to different genera and families, mainly Alnus glutinosa and Coriaria myrtifolia. Frankia strains isolated from A. glutinosa received from the Netherlands (LDAgp1r1, LDAgn1) and from Scotland (UGL010708), induced a fully effective nodulation on C. myrtifolia. The same effect was caused by a nodule extract from A. glutinosa. The reverse, a crushed-nodule inoculum from C. myrtifolia nodulated all the A. glutinosa seedlings, though nodules formed were less effective than those induced by the other inocula. Re-isolation of those Frankia strains from the nodules formed on A. glutinosa was readily obtained, whereas attempts to re-isolate them from the nodules formed on C. myrtifolia failed, suggesting that isolation procedures different to those employed should be tried.
