Figure 1.
Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree of Meloidogyne spp. based on seven mitochondrial genes (cox1-rrnS-cox3-nad4L-nad3-nad4-nad5) from nine root-knot nematode species. The tree was rooted with Pratylenchus vulnus as an outgroup. GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/) mitogenome reference sequences are indicated in parenthesis (with sequence from this study in bold), except for M. hapla and M. floridensis (*) for which accession numbers corresponding to the different genes used in the phylogeny are given in Table S2. The numbers beside branches represent ML bootstrap support values >50%. Scale bar represents substitutions per nucleotide position.
