Variable sizes of introns in the SSU rDNA in three species of Roccella (Arthoniales, Euascomycetes),
Current Genetics,
36: 79-85
Three species of the lichenized fungus Roccella
(Arthoniales, Euascomycetes), R. canariensis, R. tuber-
culata and R. montagnei, were found to possess inser-
tions in the ®rst half of the nuclear SSU rDNA. Both the
number and the type of these insertions varied between
and within species. At position 516 the insertions be-
longed to group-IC1 introns with a characteristic sec-
ondary structure and conserved sequences. At three
positions, 300, 330 and 393, the insertions were short
and lacked …
