FIGURE 7.

Phylograms of RNAi machinery genes annotated from model fungi and Pucciniomycotina. Support above nodes from 10,000 approximate likelihood ratio tests (≥90) and ultrafast bootstraps (≥95) in IQTree v. 2.0.6. Homologues of (a) Dicer‐like, (b) RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase, and (c) Argonaute‐like genes. *Denotes truncated proteins in an alignment. Taxa are coloured by their phylum, subphylum, class or familial rank classification shown in (d) and based on Aime and McTaggart (2021). Monophyletic groups of rust fungi are marked with a star at their most recent common ancestor.
