Links to Frankia and Actinorhizal Plant Research

The following is a list of scientists, and their Home Pages, who have research projects dealing with Frankia, acinorhizal plants, or both. To be included on the list please send your name, a web link to associate with your name, and a short description of what area of actinorhizal plant/Frankia research is of most interest (see below for examples). Send the information to David Benson. I will update the information as soon as possible.
