Independent gene evolution in the potato actin gene family demonstrated by phylogenetic procedures for resolving gene conversions and the phylogeny of angiosperm actin genes.

Abstract excerpt

Nine different actin DNA sequences were isolated from the common potato, Solanum tuberosum, and the nucleotide sequence of five actin loci and of two allelic variants are presented. Unlike the wide variation in intron position among animal actin genes, the potato actin genes have three introns situated in the same positions as reported for all other angiosperm actin genes. Using a novel combination of analytical...
