Abstract excerpt
The basidiomycete Paxillus involutus is forming ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with a broad range of forest trees. Reassociation kinetics on P. involutus nuclear DNA indicated a haploid genome size of 23 Mb including 11% of repetitive DNA. A similar genome size (20 Mb) was estimated by genomic reconstruction analysis using three single copy genes. To assess the gene density in the P. involutus genome, a cosmid...
