Fig 4. A Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree of the podosphaera leucotricha combined dataset of VPRI 18536 podosphaera leucotricha nested ITS PCR amplicons (bold) and other podosphaera species ITS sequence data taken from GenBank.

This tree was generated using rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences in PhyML with the GTR substitution model showing the relationship between VPRI P. leucotricha and GenBank P. leucotricha accession sequences. Bootstrap (BS) values of >70% were taken from 1000 replications and are shown on the respective branches and the scale bar equals 5 changes per 100 bases.
