Table 6.

Variable nucleotide positions of the ITS1 (77–155), 5.8S (212), and ITS2 (355–453) of Hymenoscyphus albidus and Hy. fraxineus from European and Asian samples [position numbers starting with the last five nucleotides of the SSU: ‘CATTA’]; ***/** = normal case, * = infrequent abnormal case. Definition positions that apply also to Asian samples are marked in red, whereas at the blue markings Asian and European samples of Hy. fraxineus differ, the former matching Hy. albidus. Positions identical to all sequences are omitted, and identical sequences are equally omitted except for a few from Asia.
