Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogeny of the causal agent of Bayoud disease on date palm, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis

Abstract

The complete mitogenome of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (FOA), the causal agent of the destructive fusarium wilt in date palm, is sequenced and assembled. The circular mitogenome of isolate Foa44 is 51,601 bp in length and contains 26 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, one ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and 28 protein-coding genes. A mitogenome-based phylogenetic analysis of Fusarium revealed that FOA is congruent with previous nuclear-gene phylogenetic results.
