Fig. 3From: Comparative expression analysis of Phytophthora sojae polysaccharide lyase family 3 (pectate lyase) genes during infection of the soybean Glycine maxMaximum Parsimony analysis of PL3-coding gene sequences from multiple Phytophthora spp. The evolutionary history of 18 Phytophthora spp. PL3-coding gene sequences was inferred using the Maximum Parsimony method and the consensus tree inferred from two most parsimonious trees is shown. The percentage (cut-off value = 80%) of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. There was a total of 656 positions in the final dataset and all positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. The scale bar represents the number of nucleotide changes over the whole sequence. Taxa included in this analysis are P. sojae (magenta square), P. infestans (yellow circle), P. ramorum (black circle), P. capsici (cyan diamond), P. cinnamomi (green triangle), and P. parasitica (red circle). No NCBI accession identifiers are available for P. ramorum or P. cinnamomi; therefore, identifiers from each genome project, as shown in FungiDB, were used instead. Tree shown is representative of the topology generated by the Neighbor Joining and Maximum Likelihood methods using the same dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7Back to article page
