Host Invasion Type Is a Phylogenetically Conserved Characteristic of Cephaleuros.

Abstract excerpt

Cephaleuros species cause algal spot diseases, also known as red rust diseases, on many plants, including fruit crops. Most algal species are defined based on their morphological characteristics. Recent phylogenetic studies of Cephaleuros species showed that morphological determination was not congruent with phylogeny. Our study examined the phylogenetic congruence of the host invasion types (or growth habits),...
