ABSTRACT |
In order to elucidate the identity of formas in Gelidium amansii , nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS 2 region was analysed with eight populations belonging to three formas collected in Korea. For data analysis previously published sequences of taxa were also used. The ITS 2 sequence data were used in parsimony, maximum likelihood, and distance analyses. Our analysis of G. amansii forms from Korea showed the exactly same sequences of 371-bp long ITS 2, but one base substitution. This result indicates that the intraspecific separation of G. amansii species cannot be supported by the molecular data analysed.
