Complete Genomic Characterization and Identification of sp. nov., a Novel Pathogen Causes Yellow Rot Disease on .

"Hongtuozhusun" () is an important edible and medicinal mushroom endemic to Southwest China. However, yellow rot disease is a severe disease of . that occurs extensively in Guizhou Province. It has caused major economic losses and hinders the development of the . industry. In this study, 28 microorganism strains were isolated from diseased fruiting bodies of at various stages, two of which were confirmed to be pathogenic based on Koch's postulates. These two strains are introduced herein as sp. nov. based on morphological, physiological, and molecular analysis. We reported a high-quality de novo sequencing and assembly of the . genome using single-molecule real-time sequencing technology. The whole genome was approximately 14.148 Mb with a G+C content of 43.55%. Genome assembly generated 8 contigs with an N50 length of 1,822,654 bp. The genome comprised 5966 annotated protein-coding genes. This is the first report of mushroom disease caused by species. We expect that the information on genome properties, particularly in pathogenicity-related genes, assist in developing effective control measures in order to prevent severe losses and make amendments in management strategies.
