Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis of evolutionary relationships of closely related Meloidogyne species including NSRKN (Meloidogyne aegracyperi n. sp.) and comparison 18S rRNA sequences. The tree with the highest log likelihood (−2,286.9884) is shown. The bootstrap support values (500 bootstraps) are shown at nodes next to the branches. Branch lengths are proportional to the distances. Genbank accession numbers follow each species.
