Genome Sequence Resources for Five Isolates of Coniothyrium glycines, Causal Pathogen of Red Leaf Blotch of Soybeans

Abstract

Red leaf blotch is a severe soybean disease caused by the select agent fungal pathogen Coniothyrium glycines. With little information about the pathogen, no molecular detection methods are available. Here, we report genome assemblies of five isolates, including reference isolates. These datasets provide a valuable resource for ongoing studies that include marker development, diagnostics, and population diversity. [Figure: see text] Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).
