Abstract
The genomes of Chrysoporthe austroafricana, Diplodia scrobiculata, Fusarium nygami, Leptographium
lundbergii, Limonomyces culmigenus, Stagonosporopsis tanaceti, and Thielaviopsis punctulata are presented
in this genome announcement. These seven genomes are from endophytes, plant pathogens and economically
important fungal species. The genome sizes range from 26.6 Mb in the case of Leptographium lundbergii to
44 Mb for Chrysoporthe austroafricana. The availability of these genome data will provide opportunities to
resolve longstanding questions regarding the taxonomy of species in these genera, and may contribute to our
understanding of the lifestyles through comparative studies with closely related organisms.
