Molecular phylogeny of Allomyces macrogynus: congruency between nuclear ribosomal RNA- and mitochondrial protein-based trees.

abstract：:Marine mussels of the genus Mytilus have two types of mitochondrial DNA with separate paternal and maternal inheritance. Females are homoplasmic for an F genome that is transmitted to all offspring, whereas males are heteroplasmic for this F genome and for a highly diverged (> 20%) M genome that is transmitted only to...
