Figure 1 – Reduced phylogenetic tree inferred from a Bayesian analysis based on a concatenated alignment of LSU, TEF-1α and RPB2. Bayesian posterior probabilities (PP) and maximum likelihood bootstrap support values (ML-BS) are indicated at the nodes (PP/ML-BS). The scale bar represents the expected number of changes per site. The lineages in Capnodiales s. l. are indicated in different colours. The tree was rooted with Venturia inaequalis (CBS 594.70)
