Sequence Analysis of SSR-Flanking Regions Identifies Genome Affinities between Pasture Grass Fungal Endophyte Taxa

Parsimony analysis of sequence haplotypes derived from reference Neotyphodium and Epichloë isolates for the EST-SSR locus NLESTA1NF04. (a) One of two most parsimonious trees found. Diagram properties are as described in the legend to Figure 1. (b) Sub-tree showing the alternative branching of E. sylvatica in the other tree. Note that the nucleotide sequence of the second amplification product from FaTG-2 and the third amplification product from unidentified Neotyphodium isolate 9728 detected at this locus by autoradiography [38] was not obtained.
