Phylogenetic tree of sect. Alternaria generated from maximum parsimony (MP) analysis based on the combined dataset of act, Alt a 1, endoPG, gapdh, rpb2, and tef1 sequences from 17 isolates. The tree was rooted to Alternaria nobilis (sect. Gypsophilae). MP and RAxML maximum likelihood (ML) bootstrap values and Bayesian posterior probabilities (PP) are given near branches (MP/ML/PP). Thickened nodes indicate significant support by MP/ML/PP (> 60/60/0.96). Tree length = 383, consistency index = 0.859, homoplasy index = 0.141, retention index = 0.783, and rescaled consistency index = 0.673. The scale bar indicates the number of nucleotide substitutions. Japanese isolates examined are indicated in bold, and statuses of reference isolates are indicated in bold and italic. T: ex-type, ET: ex-epitype, R: representative strain assigned by Simmons (2007). Resolved novel taxon with asterisk was indicated as red shadings.
