Abstract
Dicyma pulvinata strain 414-3, isolated from the surface of a tomato leaf, is a mycoparasitic fungus of Cladosporium fulvum, which causes leaf mold of tomato. We report here the draft genome sequence of strain 414-3, which will contribute to elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in the mycoparasitism.

Leaf mold caused by Cladosporium fulvum Cooke
Our group previously isolated Dicyma pulvinata strain 414-3 because it was growing over C. fulvum lesions on a tomato leaf and seemed to prevent spread of the fungus and disease in the greenhouse [2]
To identify genes that are related to the mycoparasitism of D. pulvinata strain 414-3, we sequenced its genome, and here, we report its draft genome sequence
Summary
Leaf mold caused by Cladosporium fulvum Cooke Fungicide-tolerant strains have been reported, so an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy needs to be devised and should include a biocontrol agent(s) rather than fungicides. Our group previously isolated Dicyma pulvinata strain 414-3 because it was growing over C. fulvum lesions on a tomato leaf and seemed to prevent spread of the fungus and disease in the greenhouse [2]. Strain 414-3 parasitizes C. fulvum independent of races but not pathogens that cause other foliar tomato diseases. D. pulvinata produces the antifungal sesquiterpene deoxyphomenone, which inhibits growth of C.
