diversity and distribution of frankia strains symbiotic with ceanothus in california.	frankia strains symbiotic with ceanothus present an interesting opportunity to study the patterns and causes of frankia diversity and distribution within a particular host infectivity group. we intensively sampled frankia from nodules on ceanothus plants along an elevational gradient in the southern sierra nevada of california, and we also collected nodules from a wider host taxonomic and geographic range throughout california. the two sampling scales comprised 36 samples from eight species of c ...	2004	15528504
low genetic diversity among frankia spp. strains nodulating sympatric populations of actinorhizal species of rosaceae, ceanothus (rhamnaceae) and datisca glomerata (datiscaceae) west of the sierra nevada (california).	frankia spp. strains typically induce n2-fixing root nodules on actinorhizal plants. the majority of host plant taxa associated with the uncultured group 1 frankia strains, i.e., ceanothus of the rhamnaceae, datisca glomerata (datiscaceae), and all actinorhizal members of the rosaceae except dryas, are found in california. a study was conducted to determine the distribution of frankia strains among root nodules collected from both sympatric and solitary stands of hosts. three dna regions were ex ...	2004	15714229
