The genus Phoma, a common plant pathogen is taxonomically controversial. The conventional systems of classification of Phoma are functional but require considerable expertise to apply, which have resulted in a highly polyphyletic genus Phoma. The advent of molecular taxonomic techniques offered a solution for many problems, which were out of reach for classical taxonomic approaches. The method of construction of phylogenetic tree based on molecular data is widely used to determine evolutionary relationships. In the present study, we have selected 28S, 18S, and 5.8S with ITS region nucleotide sequences, actin gene sequences and beta tubulin gene sequences for the in silico analysis of the evolutionary relationship. The main objectives of the study were to assess the genetic variations and relatedness along with the investigation, identification, classification and evol.. View More»
