  abstract = {{E}nvironmental stresses are caused by human activities or natural events. {S}everal of them including salinity, heavy metals, and extreme temperature affect both soil characteristics and plant growth and productivity. {A}ctinorhizal plants are pioneer species that are able to grow in poor soils and improve soil fertility. {T}hey are widely used in agroforestry for different purposes including reclamation of degraded and contaminated lands. {T}his capacity is mainly due to the plants forming a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with actinobacteria known as {F}rankia. {I}n comparison to uninoculated plants, plants in symbiosis with {F}rankia have significantly improved plant growth, total biomass, and nitrogen and chlorophyll content which enhance the development of actinorhizal plants and their resistance to abiotic stresses. {H}owever, to optimize the adaptation of actinorhizal species to different environments, selection of both symbiotic partners is necessary. {F}rankia strains vary in their sensitivity and response to stress including salinity, heavy metals, extreme p{H} and drought. {I}n this paper, we review the response of different {F}rankia strains to environmental stresses and their role that they play in the adaptation of actinorhizal plants to stressful conditions.},
