Abstract

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum race 4 (FOV4) is the most virulent cotton wilt pathogen in the United States. There is an urgent need for improved detection and diagnostics to combat the spread of FOV4. To help meet this challenge, we report the de novo assembly of two pathogenic isolates of FOV4 from California.

Keywords: FOV4; Fusarium oxysporum f. sp vainfectum race 4; nanopore sequencing.
