Powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphaceae) are widespread obligate biotrophic plant pathogens. Thus, applying genetic and omics approaches to study these fungi remains a major challenge, particularly for species with hemiendophytic mycelium. These belong to a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the family Erysiphaceae. To date, only a single draft genome assembly is available for this clade, obtained for . Here, we generated the first draft genome assemblies of and , two tree-parasitic powdery mildew species with hemiendophytic mycelium, representing two genera that have not yet been investigated with genomics tools. The assembly was 96,769,103 bp in length and consisted of 14,447 scaffolds, and the assembly was 180,382,532 bp in length on 45,569 scaffolds. Together with the draft genome of , these resources will be pivotal for understanding the molecular basis of the lifestyle of these fungi, which is unique within the family Erysiphaceae.
白粉菌（白粉菌科）是广泛分布的专性活体营养型植物病原体。因此，应用遗传学和组学方法来研究这些真菌仍然是一项重大挑战，特别是对于具有半内生菌丝体的物种。这些物种属于白粉菌科内一个独特的系统发育谱系。迄今为止，该进化枝仅有一个基因组草图组装，是为……获得的。在这里，我们生成了……和……的首个基因组草图组装，这两个具有半内生菌丝体的树木寄生白粉菌物种代表了两个尚未用基因组学工具进行研究的属。……的组装长度为96,769,103碱基对，由14,447个支架组成，……的组装长度为180,382,532碱基对，分布在45,569个支架上。连同……的基因组草图，这些资源对于理解这些真菌独特生活方式的分子基础至关重要，这种生活方式在白粉菌科中是独一无二的。
