Preliminary studies on genetic diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungus Suillus bovinus in Lithuania [Pradiniai ektomikorizinio grybo Suillus bovinus genetinio kintamumo Lietuvoje tyrimai]

Abstract Genetic diversity of some Lithuanian populations of Suillus bovinus was assessed basing on nucleotide sequence of ITS1 and 2 regions, and the 5.8S RNA gene obtained from 42 samples. Four haplotypes were defined, each representing isolate groups of varying abundance and distribution. The most abundant and widely distributed was haplotype 2. All Lithuanian haplotypes nested in one, the largest clade of European isolates of S. bovinus.
