Mitochondrial genome evolution in species belonging to the <it>Phialocephala fortinii</it> s.l. - <it>Acephala applanata species</it> complex

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mitochondrial (mt) markers are successfully applied in evolutionary biology and systematics because mt genomes often evolve faster than the nuclear genomes. In addition, they allow robust phylogenetic analysis based on conserved prot...
