Abstract
Molecular markers have facilitated a better understanding of the evolution of fungi. Molecular phylogenetics determined the closest relatives of fungi and defined natural groups within the true fungi. The impact of molecular markers on the population biology of fungi has been enormous, helping to define cryptic species and elucidating fungal breeding biology. The interaction between molecular phylogenetics and the fungal fossil record is discussed.Mesh:
