Abstract

The fungal pathogen Didymella segeticola (basionym Phoma segeticola) causes leaf spot on tea (Camellia sinensis), which leads to a loss in tea leaf production in Guizhou Province, China. D. segeticola isolate GZSQ-4 was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq and Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) RS technologies, and then assembled to approximately 33.4 Mbp with a scaffold N50 value of approximately 2.3 Mbp. In total, 10,893 genes were predicted using the Nonredundant, Gene Ontology, Clusters of Orthologous Groups, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and SWISS-PROT databases. The whole-genome sequence of D. segeticola will provide a resource for future research on host-pathogen interactions, determination of trait-specific genes, pathogen evolution, and plant-host adaptation mechanisms.
