Rhizoctonia solani is an important soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes serious diseases on many agricultural crops and vegetables. Here, we report a complete genome assembly of R. solani AG4 (assembly: 45.47 Mb; contig N50: 1.56 Mb), using a combination of Illumina paired-end and PacBio long-read sequencing data. A total of 267 noncoding RNAs and 11,592 genes were predicted, including 109 genes associated with carbohydrate-active enzymes and 2,488 genes involved in host-pathogen interactions. The complete genome of R. solani AG4 represents a valuable base for studying interactions between host plants and pathogenic fungi and to search for potential antimicrobial targets.[Graphic: see text] Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).
