title: A protocol for direct sequencing of multiple gene specific PCR products from Discula umbrinella, a fungal endophyte, utilizing bufferless precast electrophoresis.
abstract: A protocol for direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products from mycelia of Discula umbrinella, a fungal endophyte, using bufferless electrophoresis is described. This improved method allows researchers to conduct high-capacity screening of multiple gene regions for fungal endophytes applicable to microbial ecology and population genetic studies.
