(a) Agarose gel electrophoresis for PCR products (680 bp) from GPDH locus of Cochliobolus lunatus strains separated on a 2.5% agarose gel. Lane-1 and-7 DNA ladder and lane-2, -3, -4, -5, and -6 are Cochliobolus lunatus strains with DDBJ accessions AB859034, AB859035, AB859036, AB859037, and AB859038, respectively. (b) Molecular phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood method based on the TN93 + G + I substitution model [22]; AIC is 2974.83; BIC is 3449.49; the highest log likelihood is −1494.28 and bootstrap values ≥50% from 1000 iterations are shown. Subcluster (IV) contains strains of Cochliobolus lunatus which causes foliar necrosis of potato.
