Abstract

Botryosphaeria dothidea is a latent fungal pathogen that causes cankers or diebacks on a variety of host woody plants worldwide. The symptomatic necrosis on the host plants can be triggered by abiotic stress, such as drought and soil acidification. Here we report a high-quality genome assembly and announcement of the B. dothidea strain CK16 (CGMCC 19654), which causes trunk canker disease on Carya cathayensis in China. The genome sequence of strain CK16 will be useful for studying the evolution, host adaption, and pathogenicity of B. dothidea, which will be beneficial for a better understanding of the mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction during the endophytic period.
