Numbers of isolates used for primer design in relation to numbers of isolates and genetic diversity of eachVerticillium species in Inderbitzin et al. [4], [47].

ANumber of isolates in each species [4], [47].BNumber of isolates representing the genetic diversity across ACT, EF, GPD, ITS and TS[4], [47].CNumber of isolates used for primer design, for details see Table S4. Selected isolates represent the genetic diversity of each species at ACT, EF, GPD, ITS and TS[4], [47].DThe V. longisporum isolates with the best sequencing coverage were used at each locus (Table S4).
