Полифазная таксономия грибов: концепция, методы и примеры

Abstract

Polyphasic approach is a relatively new and interesting taxonomic practice. At this time we observe an attempt to combine taxonomy based on molecular phylogeny and on complex phenotypic analysis. Many different types of characters can be used for phenotypic analysis: morphological, genetic, chemical and so on. Further development of theoretic basis of the polyphasic approach is needed. Methods of fungal metabolite analysis and hierarchy of characters should be improved as well.
