| genetic diversity of frankia microsymbionts from the relict species myrica faya (ait.) and myrica rivas-martinezii (s.) in canary islands and hawaii. | in the western canary islands, myrica faya and myrica rivas-martinezii (myricaceae) are phylogenetically close, endemic, actinorhizal species presumed to be remnants either of the european or the african tertiary floras. unisolated frankia strains from field-collected nodules on tenerife, gomera, and la palma islands were compared by their rrs gene and 16s-23s intergenic spacer (igs) restriction patterns. to compare the genetic diversity of frankia strains from within and outside the host's nati ... | 2005 | 16047099 |
