  abstract = {{T}he {C}asuarinaceae family is a group of 96 species of trees and shrubs that are tolerant to adverse soil and climatic conditions. {I}n the field, {C}asuarinaceae bears nitrogen-fixing root nodules (so called actinorhizal nodules) resulting from infection by the soil actinomycete {F}rankia. {T}he association between {C}asuarina and {F}rankia is of tremendous ecological importance in tropical and subtropical areas where these trees contribute to land stabilization and soil reclamation. {D}uring differentiation of the actinorhizal nodule, a set of genes called actinorhizal nodulins is activated in the developing nodule. {U}nderstanding the molecular basis of actinorhizal nodule ontogenesis requires molecular tools such as genomics together with gene transfer technologies for functional analysis of symbiotic genes. {U}sing the biological vectors {A}grobacterium rhizogenes and {A}. tumefaciens, gene transfer into the two species {A}llocasuarina verticillata and {C}asuarina glauca has been successful. {T}ransgenic {C}asuarinaceae plants proved to be valuable tools for exploring the molecular mechanisms resulting from the infection process of actinorhizal plants by {F}rankia.},
