| the diversity of mtdna rns introns among strains of ophiostoma piliferum, ophiostoma pluriannulatum and related species. | based on previous studies, it was suspected that the mitochondrial rns gene within the ophiostomatales is rich in introns. this study focused on a collection of strains representing ophiostoma piliferum, ophiostoma pluriannulatum and related species that cause blue-stain; these fungi colonize the sapwood of trees and impart a dark stain. this reduces the value of the lumber. the goal was to examine the mtdna rns intron landscape for these important blue stain fungi in order to facilitate future ... | 2016 | 27610327 |
