Genome Sequence Resource for Colletotrichum viniferum, the Cause of Grapevine Ripe Rot in China

Abstract

Grape ripe rot is an important disease that has seriously damaged the yield and quality of grape worldwide. The disease is caused by Colletotrichum viniferum, a hemibiotrophic fungus that belongs to the Glomerellaceae family of Sordariomycetes class. Here, we present the genome of C. viniferum CvYL2a from grape, based on Illumina HiSeq 2500 and PacBio RS II. The high-quality genome consists of 70 contigs with a 73.41 Mb genome size and encodes 14,668 protein-coding genes. These genes were annotated using Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, EuKaryotic Orthologous Groups, Nonredundant Protein, and Swiss-Prot databases. In addition, we identified a series of genes involved in pathogenicity, including 909 carbohydrate-active enzymes, 67 secondary metabolite gene clusters, and 307 cytochrome P450 enzymes. This genome sequence provides a valuable reference for research on grape–C. viniferum interactions, the pathogenesis of C. viniferum, and comparative genome analyses.[Graphic: see text] Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).
