Figure 2. Rooted 50% majority rule consensus maximum parsimony phylogenetic tree of tefA sequences.

The E. inebrians and E. gansuensis sequences were designated as outgroups for rooting the tree. The numbers at the nodes are the bootstrap percentages based on 1,000 replications. Sequence references are given by Epichloë species names, GenBank accession numbers, and the host grass species are given in parentheses. The E. amarillans isolate from A. breviligulata is identified by bolded text.
