The nuc-ITS dataset contains 53 sequences representing 12 taxa. Amplification of the nuc-ITS region yielded approximately 650 bp fragments. After deleting the ambiguous sites at both ends and 5.8S region in the alignment, 409 characters remained for phylogenetic analysis. For MP analysis, 286 characters are constant, 33 characters are variable, but...
