    • Figure 1. 

      Phylogenetic tree of Diaporthe section Sojae inferred from a ML analysis based on a concatenated alignment of the ITS region, and partial cal, his3, tef1, and tub2 genes. The ML bootstrap support values (MLBS ≥ 70%) and Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP ≥ 0.70) are given at the nodes (MLBS/BPP). The studied strains are given in blue. The ex-type strains are marked with T. Purple lines indicate the boundaries of species complexes.

    • Figure 2. 

      Diaporthe convolvuli strain MF-SOR 61.20.1 at 10 days of growth. (a)–(c) Pure cultures: left half, front; right, reverse. (a) PSA. (b) ОА. (c) CZ. (d), (e), (g), (h) Pycnidia on ОА. (f) Pycnidia on OA aggregated in chains. (i) Conidiogenous cell. (j) Conidia on a conidiogenous cell. (k) Conidia. Scale bars: (d), (e) = 1 mm; (f) = 200 μm; (g)–(h) = 100 μm; and (i)–(k) = 10 μm.

    • Figure 3. 

      Pathogenicity of Diaporthe convolvuli on leaf segments of Convolvulus arvensis at 5 dpt. The first line in each set (Petri dish) contains the inoculated intact abaxial part of the leaf segments; the second line is the abaxial part wounded with a needle. Inoculation variants: (a) Inoculation with sterile water; (b) mycelial suspension of MF-SOR 61.20.1; (c) mycelial suspension of MF-SOR 61.20.2.

    • Figure 4. 

      Diameter of necrosis (mm) caused by Diaporthe convolvuli strains on Convolvulus arvensis leaf segments at 3, 5, and 7 dpt. Error bars represent standard errors of the means.
