▪ Abstract Large-genome eukaryotes use heritable cytosine methylation to silence
promoters, especially those associated with transposons and imprinted genes. Cytosine …

Coprinus cinereus has two main types of mycelia, the asexual monokaryon and the sexual
dikaryon, formed by fusion of compatible monokaryons. Syngamy (plasmogamy) and …

Historically, extraction of usable nucleic acids from plants and fungi has been difficult, in
some instances notoriously so. In general, success in DNA extraction is measured by DNA …

We examined how chronic nitrogen (N) enrichment of pine and hardwood forest stands has
affected the relative abundance, functional capacity, and activity of soil bacteria and fungi …

Previous methods for rapid isolation of total DNA for the comparative study of many fungi
have focused on obtaining a high yield of DNA for restriction enzyme analysis (Lee et al …

Magnaporthe oryzae is described as a new species distinct from M. grisea. Gene trees were
inferred for Magnaporthe species using portions of three genes: actin, beta-tubulin, and …

Phylogenetic relationships of mushrooms and their relatives within the order Agaricales
were addressed by using nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences. Approximately …

This exciting new book describes the use of DNA fingerprinting and its application in a wide
area of plant and fungal research. It presents a thorough theoretical introduction to DNA …

The great majority of the 80 000+ fungal species so far named and described are likely to
occur in the soil environment at some stage in their life-cycle. Fungi therefore have many …

Evidence from molecular systematic studies suggests that many mushroom species may be
quite ancient. Gene phylogenies were developed to examine the relationship between …
