“…Preliminary searches with newly-generated
LSU and
ITS gene sequences of these isolates against National Center for Biotechnology Information (
NCBI ) by the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (
BLAST ) determined species closely related to our isolates. Based on this information, sequences of
ITS and
LSU were downloaded from
Microthyriaceae and four sister orders belonging to
Dothideomycetes , including 48 strains representing 35 species (Table 1 ), according to recent studies (
Hongsanan et al 2020 ;
Iturrieta-González et al 2020 ).
Schismatomma decolorans (Erichsen) Clauzade & Vězda was used as the outgroup taxon.…”
