Frangula is a genus of deciduous shrubs or small trees in the family Rhamnaceae. It is also known as buckthorn or dogwood. Frangula species are native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region.
Frangulin is an alkaloid, a type of natural compound, found in the bark of some species of the Prunus genus of trees, particularly the Prunus spinosa (blackthorn) and Prunus avium (sweet cherry).
Frankia is a genus of actinobacteria that form symbiotic relationships with the roots of plants, particularly legumes and actinorhizal plants. They are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen, converting it into a form that the plant can use for growth. Frankia bacteria live within specialized structures called vesicles or nodules on the plant's roots, and in return for the nutrients they provide, the plant provides the bacteria with carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis. This mutualistic relationship is known as symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
