Battarrea phalloides in Macedonia: genetic variability, distribution and ecology

María P. Martín, Katerina Rusevska, Margarita Dueñas, Mitko Karadelev

Abstract


Morphological and molecular analyses of Battarrea phalloides from Macedonia were done. While B. phalloides specimens shown three kind of spore ornamentation, each one related to a clade in the phylogenetic ITS nrDNA tree; all specimens from Macedonia shown spores with anastomosing truncate ridges and very low variability of the ITS nrDNA sequences. The low genetic variability of these specimens, could be because of genetic drift.

Keywords


Gasteromycetes; Basidiomycota; DNA barcoding; spore ornamentation; taxonomy; biodiversity hotspot
