Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a notorious fungal pathogen that causes sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) on many important crops in China and worldwide. Here, we present a high- quality genome assembly of S. sclerotiorum strain WH6 using the PacBio SMRT cell platform. The assembled genome has a total size of 38.96 Mbp, with a contig N50 length of 1.90 Mbp, and encodes 10,512 predicted coding genes, including 685 secreted proteins and 65 effector candidates. This is the the first report of a genome sequence from China. The WH6 genome sequence provides a valuable resource for facilitating our understanding of S. sclerotiorum-host interactions and SSR control in China and the world.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans is the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.), which results in severe yield loss. Here, we report a high-quality genome sequence of a race 1 strain (IVC-1) of F. oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans, which was assembled using a combination of PacBio long-read and Illumina short-read sequences. The assembled IVC-1 genome has a total size of 71.18 Mb, with a contig N50 length of 4.59 Mb, and encodes 23,374 predicted protein-coding genes. The high-quality genome of IVC-1 provides a valuable resource for facilitating our understanding of F. oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans–cabbage interaction.

Sugarcane pokkah boeng disease (PBD) is emerging as a prevalent foliar disease in China. This airborne disease is caused by the Fusarium species complex. To investigate the diversity and evolution of Fusarium species, we performed the whole-genome sequencing of Fusarium andiyazi YN28 using a combination of the Oxford Nanopore and the Illumina technology. The F. andiyazi YN28 genome was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. A high-quality genome was assembled into 24 contigs with an N50 of 2.80 Mb. The genome assembly generated a total size of 44.1 Mb with a GC content of 47.64%. A total of 15,508 genes were predicted, including 794 genes related to the carbohydrate-active enzymes, 397 ncRNAs, 155 genes associated with transporter classification, 4,550 genes linked to pathogen-host interactions, and 269 genes involved in effector proteins. Collectively, our results will provide insight into the host-pathogen interaction and will facilitate the breeding of new varieties of sugarcane resistant to PBD.

Diaporthe spp. are critical plant pathogens that cause wood cankers, wilt, dieback, and fruit rot in a wide variety of economic plant hosts and are regarded as one of the most acute threats faced by kiwifruit industry worldwide. Diaporthe phragmitis strain NJD1 is a highly pathogenic isolate of soft rot of kiwifruit. Here, we present a high-quality genome-wide sequence of D. phragmitis NJD1 that was assembled into 28 contigs containing a total size of 58.33 Mb and N50 length of 3.55 Mb. These results lay a solid foundation for understanding host–pathogen interaction and improving disease management strategies.

Clostridium limosum can be found in soil and the intestinal tract of animals. In 2014, C. limosum was isolated from a suspected blackleg outbreak in cattle in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. We present a complete genome sequence of a C. limosum strain represented by a circular chromosome and three plasmids.

Magnaporthe oryzae causes blast disease on more than 50 species of monocot plants, including important crops such as rice, millet, and most recently wheat. Additionally, it is an important model system for studying host-pathogen interaction. Here, we report a high-quality genome assembly and annotation of a laboratory strain 2539 of M. oryzae, which is a widely used progeny of a rice-infecting isolate and a grass-infecting isolate. The genome sequence of strain 2539 will be useful for studying the evolution, host adaption, and pathogenicity of M. oryzae, which will be beneficial for a better understanding of the mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction.

Botryosphaeria dothidea is a latent and important fungal pathogen on a wide range of woody plants. Fruit ring rot caused by B. dothidea is a major disease in China on apple. This study establishes a high quality, nearly complete and well annotated genome sequence of B. dothidea strain sdau11-99. The findings of this research provide a reference genome resource for further research on the apple fruit ring rot pathogen on apple and other hosts.

Members of the Vibrionaceae family are well known as foodborne pathogen that cause hazard to human in many forms of clinical infection and also affecting aquaculture via infection to livestock. This pathogen has caused seafood associated gastroenteritis cases in many countries including United States, Asian, and South East Asian countries. Antibiotics are usually used as prophylactic and therapeutic to manage the rising Vibrio infections, however, this in turn led to emergence of antibiotic resistant strains in the environments. Vibrio sp. SALL 6 isolated from shellfish was selected for genome sequencing to further explore its antimicrobial traits. Here, a high-quality genome sequence of Vibrio sp. SALL 6 is reported, while its genome reveals a potential for future antibiotic resistance managements.

Kiwifruit soft rot caused by the fungal pathogen Botryosphaeria dothidea is a serious disease in kiwifruit-growing regions worldwide. In this study, we reported the high-quality genome sequence of the highly virulent B. dothidea strain PTZ1 using PacBio Sequel techniques. In total, 100.87 million clean reads with mean read length of 9,871 bp were obtained. De novo assembly resulted in 28 contigs with a total size of 44.45 Mb. The GC content of the genome was 54.59%. Furthermore, genes related to specific virulence of the strain were identified, including 259 fungal cytochrome P450s, 550 carbohydrate-active enzymes, 860 secretory proteins, and 1,182 pathogen–host interactions related proteins. The genome is a useful resource to serve as a reference to facilitate the analysis of B. dothidea isolates and comparative genomic studies of the necrotroph pathogens.
