Abstract
We previously reported that conservation and diversification of repetitive sequences carrying motifs of retroposons have occurred inTricholoma matsutake and related ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes through their evolution. Here we report that the polymerase chain reaction using primers designed to amplify retroelement coding regions specified ectomycorrhizae formed betweenT. matsutake andPinus densiflora.
