- Observation Nodule haemoglobin concentration ranged from 1.56 to 22.27 nmol haem per gram fresh weight.
- Association Plant species and Frankia source interacted markedly.
- Observation C. cunninghamiana with Frankia SI had the greatest plant growth at final harvest.
- Observation Nodule haemoglobin concentration in C. cunninghamiana with Frankia SI was intermediate.
- Observation Acetylene reduction occurred in all symbioses except C. equisteifolia with SI.
- Association Nodule haemoglobin concentration and acetylene reduction per plant were positively correlated.
- Association Highest cumulative nitrogen fixation was associated with highest haemoglobin concentrations and acetylene reduction.
- Observation Nitrogen content was lowest in C. equisetifolia with SI at 23.89±3.07 mg.
- Observation Nitrogen content was highest in C. cunninghamiana with SI at 217.2±22.5 mg.
- Observation Lignin-like compounds occurred in nodule cell walls across all symbioses regardless of performance.
- Observation Cells containing lignin-like compounds were mainly in infected nodule areas.
