Abstract
Globodera ellingtonae is a newly described potato cyst nematode (PCN) found in Idaho, Oregon, and Argentina. Here, we present a genome assembly for G. ellingtonae, a relative of the quarantine nematodes G. pallida and G. rostochiensis, produced using data from Illumina and Pacific Biosciences DNA sequencing technologies.
Highlights
Globodera ellingtonae is a newly described potato cyst nematode (PCN) found in Idaho, Oregon, and Argentina
The recent genome projects for Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis contribute to the understanding and control of these economically important plant-parasitic nematodes (Cotton et al, 2014; Eves-van den Akker et al, 2016)
We report on the genome sequencing and assembly of an Oregon strain of G. ellingtonae, likely the result of a substantial population bottleneck, providing a new avenue for understanding the evolution and biology of PCN
Summary
Globodera ellingtonae is a newly described potato cyst nematode (PCN) found in Idaho, Oregon, and Argentina. The recent genome projects for Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis contribute to the understanding and control of these economically important plant-parasitic nematodes (Cotton et al, 2014; Eves-van den Akker et al, 2016). A recently described PCN, Globodera ellingtonae (Handoo et al, 2012), is a close relative of G. rostochiensis and G. pallida.
