A Genome Sequence Resource of Diaporthe nobilis Causing Kiwifruit Rot

Abstract

Diaporthe spp. are a significant plant pathogen causing wood canker, blight, dieback, and fruit decay in numerous economically important plant hosts worldwide. D. nobilis has been identified as a highly pathogenic isolate responsible for causing kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) rot, representing one of the most significant threats to the kiwifruit industry. Here, a comprehensive genome-wide sequence of D. nobilis strain DJY16A 5-1 utilizing advanced Nanopore third-generation sequencing technology is presented. The genome of D. nobilis strain DJY16A 5-1 was assembled into 26 contigs containing a combined size of 59.28 Mb and N50 length of 4.47 Mb. The virulence-related genes were analyzed, including 3,407 transmembrane proteins, 1,410 secreted proteins, 1,866 signal peptides, 135 effector proteins, 1,069 carbohydrate-active enzymes, 143 membrane transporter proteins, and 4,995 pathogen–host interaction-related proteins. The genome assembly and annotation facilitate the analysis of pathogen–host interaction, laying the foundation for in-depth research on the infection mechanism of pathogens.
