Abstract

Colletotrichum species cause anthracnose disease on the economically important spice crop chili. A total of 24 Colletotrichum species are known to infect chili and cause anthracnose. C. scovillei belongs to the C. acutatum species complex, and it shows greater aggressiveness than other species, particularly in the case of inoculation onto the nonwounded fruits of chili plants. The current work introduces an initial Illumina-Nanopore hybrid draft genome for C. scovillei TJNH1 together with the related annotations. Knowledge of this genome sequence provides an important reference genome of C. scovillei and will help further understand the pathogenic mechanism of C. scovillei to plant.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).
