Mitochondrial gene synteny and phylogenetic analysis of Hoplolaimus columbus and related species. Phylogenetic tree obtained from Maximum Likelihood analysis was based on a concatenated alignment of nucleotides of the 12 protein-coding genes that presented in accessible mitochondrial genomes of plant-parasitic nematodes in the class Chromodorea, superfamily Tylenchoidea. In the analysis, Caenorhabditis elegans and Ascaris suum were used as the outgroup. Numbers at the branches represent bootstrap values. The optimal molecular evolution model estimated with SMS was the GTR model for all 12 partitions
