Figure 4.

Phylogenetic tree of chorismate mutase (CM) constructed with MrBayes software. Posterior probabilities are shown for each node. The closest homologue of the CM of Hirschmanniella oryzae comes from Pratylenchus coffeae. Nematode sequences cluster together with CM sequences from plant‐pathogenic bacteria. Plant sequences are in the same cluster as plant‐pathogenic fungi. Taxa are indicated as follows: proteinID_species. An asterisk (*) indicates in‐house data. A plus sign (+) indicates data from Haegeman et al. (2011). The suffix ‘EST’ indicates a translated EST sequence instead of a protein sequence.
