Figure 3:

Phylogenetic relationships within the genus Meloidogyne as inferred from Bayesian analysis of the D2-D3 region of the 28S rRNA gene sequences using the GTR + I + G model. Posterior probabilities are given in clade nodes. Newly obtained sequences are indicated in bold and the sequence codes are given in specimen-clone.

Figure 5:

The TCS haplotype networks of Meloidogyne mali (A) and the Bayesian majority rule consensus tree of Meloidogyne mali based on mitochondrial COI gene (B). A: Pie chart indicates the composition and proportion of haplotypes in each location. Each circle corresponds to one haplotype and its size is proportional to its frequency. Each line connecting the haplotypes refers to a mutational step. Marks on the lines indicate the number of steps. B: Values at branche nodes are Bayesian posterior probabilities. Newly submitted sequences are indicated in bold.
