Abstract
ABSTRACTSheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 1 subgroup 1A (AG1-1A), is one of the most devastating rice diseases worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of R. solani AG1-1A strain 1802/KB isolated from a popular Malaysian rice variety. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported representative genome from AG1-1A.

Sheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 1 subgroup 1A (AG1-1A), is one of the most devastating rice diseases worldwide
Sheath blight caused by R. solani AG1 subgroup 1A (AG1-1A) is the second most devastating disease of rice after rice blast (6)
We report the draft genome sequence of a Malaysian R. solani strain, 1802/KB (GenBank accession number KF312465), which was isolated from the diseased rice tissues of MR219 variety on paddy fields (7)
Summary
Sheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 1 subgroup 1A (AG1-1A), is one of the most devastating rice diseases worldwide. Sheath blight caused by R. solani AG1-1A is the second most devastating disease of rice after rice blast (6). There is only one reported genome of an R. solani AG1-1A isolate from China (5).
