Genome composition and assessment of the divergence between Russian boreal species in the genus Elymus (Poaceae) detected on the basis of sequencing of the nuclear gene GBSSI

Abstract

A comparative study of the sequence of GBSSI gene fragments in 10 species of the genus Elymus growing in the territory of Asian Russia was carried out. Data on the genomic composition and on the levels of interspecific divergence were obtained. This information is a necessary requirement for the construction of phylogenetically oriented taxonomic system of the genus Elymus within Russia.
