Abstract
Authors report on a length polymorphism in the intragenic spacer 1 (IT S1) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA repeat. Species of the genera Barbula , Bryoerythrophyllum, Didymodon, Microbryum, Pleurochaete, Syntrichia, Timmiella, Tortella, Tortula, and Weissia were studied. The differenc es in length of the ITS1 match to a great extent recent evidence on th e circumscription of genera based on morphology.
