Location of introns in the mtDNAs of Helotiales and Peltigerales species.

<p>Plus (+) and minus (−) symbols indicate, respectively, presence or absence of orthologues intron in particular position. H and eH in parentheses represents the presence of the putative functional and eroded HEG-like ORFs, respectively.</p><p>Sbor – <i>S. borealis</i> F-4128, Bfuc - <i>B. fuckeliana</i> B05.10, Pmal – <i>P. malacea</i> DB3992, Pmem – <i>P. membranacea</i> LA-31632, Rcom – <i>R. commune</i> UK7, Rorth - <i>R. orthosporum</i> 04CH-BAR-A.1.1.3.</p><p>*The intron positions are indicated relative to the amino acid sequences of reference intronless genes of <i>P. subalpina</i> UAMH 11012.
