Fig 1.
Distribution of fastidious sugar beet pathogens in Central Europe.
Map of Central Europe depicts assessed plains and the proportion of evaluated fastidious pathogens of sugar beet per country. Chart sections represent the proportion of each specific fastidious pathogen/strain according to the specified color pattern provided in the legend on the right. The in-chart asterisks indicate the presence of M. phaseolina, whereas letters represent the country acronym. While results from Germany have been published previously (8), results from other countries were obtained in this study.

Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic analysis inferred from–Ca. P. solani’ stamp sequences obtained from sugar beet in the current and previous studies.
Names of strains with novel genotypes identified in this study are labeled in bold. GenBank accession numbers are noted in parentheses. Bootstrap support values (≥60), from 1,000 replicates, are provided adjacent to branches. Scale shows substitutions per site.

Isolates obtained in this study are shown in bold. Bootstrap support values (≥60), from 1,000 replicates, are provided adjacent to branches. Scale shows substitutions per site.
