Plant Dis. 2021 May;105(5):1555-1557. doi: 10.1094/PDIS-06-20-1182-A. Epub 2021 Mar 30.

Abstract

Botryosphaeria dothidea is a latent and important fungal pathogen on a wide range of woody plants. Fruit ring rot caused by B. dothidea is a major disease in China on apple. This study establishes a high-quality, nearly complete, and well-annotated genome sequence of B. dothidea strain sdau11-99. The findings of this research provide a reference genome resource for further research on the apple fruit ring rot pathogen on apple and other hosts.

Keywords: fungi; pathogen diversity; trees.
