The 5' end of the large subunit (LSU) region and the entire internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA were sequenced from 11 species or special forms of Melampsora on Salix, and three species on Populus. For all the species, except for M. larici-epitea and M. coleosporioides, the sequences in both the examined regions were identical within a species. Within M. larici-epitea, f. sp. larici-epitea typica and f. sp. larici-retusae shared the same sequences which slightly differed from that of f. sp. larici-daphnoides. In the LSU region, M. larici-epitea, M. capraearum and the stem-infecting form on S. viminalis shared the same sequence and the Far-Eastern species M. epiphylla differed from them only slightly (p distance 0.006), indicating that they may share a common ancestral lineage. M. amygdalinae and M. coleosporioides formed a distict group (bootstrap value 100% for combined ITS and LSU data). M. larici-epitea and M. ribesii-purpurea, both belonging to the M. epitea complex, appeared to be distinct. The molecular data also suggest that the differences in certain characteristics, such as the thickness of teliospore walls and host specificity, may have evolved relatively recently.
