Consensus tree generated using consense in the Phylip package with Neighbor joining, Bayesian, Maximum Likelihood and Maximum Parsimony methods based on the multiple alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of RT/RNaseH region of badnavirus isolates from black pepper and related species with known badnaviruses. Details of the badnavirus isolates from Piper species and their GenBank accession number is provided in Table 1. Corresponding sequences from other badnavirus species used were retrieved from GenBank, their acronym and accession number is indicated in the figure.
