Draft genome sequence of Phyllosticta ampelicida, the cause of grapevine black rot

Abstract

Phyllosticta ampelicida causes grapevine black rot, a potentially damaging disease for grape production. This paper reports the draft genome sequence of P. ampelicida PA1 Galicia CBS 148563, which is 30.55 Mb and encodes 10,691 predicted protein-coding genes. This is the first sequence genome assembly of P. ampelicida, and this information is a valuable resource to support genomic attributes for determining pathogenic behaviour and comparative genomic analyses of grapevine black rot fungi.
