FIGURE 5. Quartet puzzling consensus ML tree of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions -the large-subunit ribosomal DNA (LrDNA) concatenated data of Exobasidium. Support value (left) and Bootstrap value (right) are presented on the shoulders of branches. Values greater than 50% are indicated. Isolates used in the phylogenetic tree are shown by the number in the NIAS Gene Bank. The accession nos. for LrDNA and ITS are described below: E. otanianum MAFF238611 (AB177576/AB180343), E. japonicum MAFF238591 (AB177568/AB180326), E. woronichinii MAFF238666 (AB177578/AB180360), E. shiraianum MAFF238603 (AB177584/AB180337), E. miyabei MAFF238595 (AB177579/AB180330), E. kishianum MAFF238623 (AB177577/AB180353), E. camelliae MAFF238578 (AB176712/AB180317), E. reticulatum MAFF239442 (AB180381/AB180377), E. symploci-japonicae var. symploci-japonicae MAFF238605 (AB176711/AB180339) and MAFF238811 (AB178255/AB180678), E. symploci-japonicae var. carpogenum MAFF238620 (AB177559/AB180351), Laurobasidium hachijoense MAFF238665 (AB177562/AB180359), and Ustilago maydis (L20287/ AY854090).
