Abstract
Analysis of DNA fragments encoding class II chitin synthases enables detection of both length and number polymorphisms in basidiomycetous species arising due to various introns conserved in their positions. Comparison of relative positions of introns and their occurrences within related genes belonging to different classes of fungi helps assess the individual gene evolution. The phylogenetic analysis of class II chitin synthase encoding DNA fragments confirms the existence of a fourth zymogenic chitin synthase class.
