To study the phylogeny and evolution of archiascomycetes, we determined the full sequence of the nuclear 18S rRNA gene from 14 Taphrina species and 2 Protomyces species, and the partial sequence of Schizosaccharomycesjaponicus var.japonicus. The sequences were phylogenetically analyzed by the neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony, and maximum-likelihood methods. We also looked at their principal phenotypic characters and genotypic character.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
