Abstract
Stemphylium lycopersici is a plant-pathogenic fungus that is widely distributed throughout the world. In tomatoes, it is one of the etiological agents of gray leaf spot disease. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of S. lycopersici, including its gene structure and functional annotation.
Highlights
Dematiaceous fungi belonging to the genus Stemphylium Wallr., a taxonomical name established in 1833, produce single-cell conidia in a percurrent conidiogenous cell
Since Stemphylium lycopersici was first described on tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in 1931 [9, 10], it has been considered the causal agent of leaf spot in Ͼ30 host genera worldwide [8, 11]
S. lycopersici strain CIDEFI-216 was isolated from a tomato plant affected by gray leaf spot disease collected at the tomatogrowing area of Bella Vista, Corrientes, Argentina, in 2010
Summary
Dematiaceous fungi belonging to the genus Stemphylium Wallr., a taxonomical name established in 1833, produce single-cell conidia (often dictyoconidia) in a percurrent conidiogenous cell. The number of described Stemphylium species varies from 30 to 150 [2, 3]. Fungi within this genus are widely distributed and have a broad plant host range, establishing a pathogenic, saprotrophic, or entophytic relationship with their hosts [4,5,6,7].
