Phomopsis longicolla is the primary cause of Phomopsis seed decay in soybean. This disease severely affects soybean seed quality by reducing seed viability and oil content, altering seed composition, and increasing frequencies of moldy and/or split beans. It is one of the most economically important soybean diseases. Here, we report the de novo assembled draft genome sequence of the P. longicolla isolate MSPL10-6, which was isolated from field-grown soybean seed in Mississippi, USA. This study represents the first reported genome sequence of a seedborne fungal pathogen in the Diaporthe-Phomopsis complex. The P. longicolla genome sequence will enable research into the genetic basis of fungal infection of soybean seed and provide information for the study of soybean-fungal interactions. The genome sequence will also be valuable for molecular genetic marker development, manipulation of pathogenicity-related genes and development of new control strategies for this pathogen.
长喙拟茎点霉是大豆拟茎点霉种子腐烂病的主要病原菌。这种病害通过降低种子活力和含油量、改变种子成分以及增加发霉和/或裂豆的频率,严重影响大豆种子质量。它是最具经济重要性的大豆病害之一。在此,我们报告了从美国密西西比州田间种植的大豆种子中分离得到的长喙拟茎点霉菌株MSPL10 - 6的从头组装基因组草图序列。本研究代表了座囊菌-拟茎点霉复合体中一种种传真菌病原体的首个报道基因组序列。长喙拟茎点霉基因组序列将有助于研究大豆种子真菌感染的遗传基础,并为大豆-真菌相互作用的研究提供信息。该基因组序列对于分子遗传标记开发、致病相关基因的操纵以及该病原菌新防治策略的开发也具有重要价值。
