dc.description.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. |

The genome sequencing of Diplodia scrobiculata, Chrysoporthe
austroafricana, Fusarium nygamai, Leptographium lundbergii was cofunded
by the Genomics Research Institute (University of Pretoria),
Tree Protection Co-operative Programme (TPCP) and the DST-NRF
Centre of Excellence in Tree Health Biotechnology (CTHB) at the
Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), together
with the National Research Foundation (NRF) and the University
of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. W.B. is grateful to the Claude
Leon Foundation, South Africa for a Post-Doctoral Fellowship. The
research on Stagonosporopsis tanaceti was supported by Botanical
Resources Australia, Agricultural Services Pty Ltd,, and USDA-NIFA
Hatch project NYG-625424, managed by The New York Agricultural
Experiment Station, Cornell University (Geneva, NY).
The genome sequencing of Limonomyces culmigenus (CBS
661.85) was funded by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA),
Agricultural Research Service (ARS). M.M.W. is supported by a
Class of 2013 USDA-ARS Headquarters Research Associate Award
to J.A.C. |
