Abstract excerpt
Nuclear ribosomal genes in most eukaryotes are present in multiple copies and often used for taxonomic and phylogenetic analyses. We comprehensively examined intragenomic polymorphism levels of three nuclear ribosomal loci for four important plant pathogenic fungi by polymerase chain reaction amplification and cloning. Here, we show that single nucleotide polymorphisms are present in an unexpectedly high amount....
