Table 1. Primers used in the current study.

Primer name	Primer sequence (5′-3′)	rRNA operon binding site	Reference
ITS1F (F)	CTTGGTCATTTAGAGGAAGTAA	Small subunit	[19]
ITS2 (R)	GCTGCGTTCTTCATCGATGC	5.8S	[18]
ITS3 (F)	GCATCGATGAAGAACGCAGC	5.8S	[18]
ITS4 (R)	TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC	Large subunit	[18]
ITS86F (F)	GTGAATCATCGAATCTTTGAA	5.8S	[27]
ITS86R (R)	TTCAAAGATTCGATGATTCAG	5.8S	[26]

Primers are indicated as forward (F) or reverse (R). ITS86R contains a wrong base at the 3′ end. The G should be replaced by a C (see Discussion).
