All strains of isolated Frankia possess the genetic capacity to form sporangia since, when grown in vitro, they usually sporulate freely, depending on the physical and chemical environment in which they are cultured. Endophytic sporulation involving Frankia differentiation of sporangia within root nodules has been described in only 16 host species in 9 genera within six families of actinorhizal plants. From studies published to date, endophytic sporulation cannot be correlated with specific environmental conditions surrounding the host plants. Based on the literature and on previously unpublished observations from field and greenhouse studies, an account is given of the occurrence of sporulation in actinorhizal plants with emphasis on Alnus, Casuarina, Comptonia, Elaeagnus and Myrica. The possible role of the host plant in controlling Frankia sporulation as contrasted to the control exerted by the genetic constitution of the microbial symbiont is explored.
