Notes:
Abstract Expression of Frankia genes involved in nitrogen fixation was studied in Alnus glutinosa nodules using the in situ hybridization technique. The results show that high level expression of nif genes does not occur immediately upon infection of cortical cells by Frankia. Also, only in the infected cells near the tips of the nodule lobes, nif genes are expressed at high levels. In the majority of infected cells, nif gene expression is rather low.
