Abstract:
Foot rot of sweet potato caused by Diaporthe destruens severely affects yield and quality worldwide. Research on this pathogen is limited due to nonavailability of genome resources. Here, we report a high-quality genome sequence of D. destruens isolate CRI 305-2, which was originally isolated from infected stem of sweet potato in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. The genome comprised a total length of 56,108,228 bp, consisted of 47 scaffolds with an overall G+C content of 48.7% and an N50 of 2,479,481 bp. This resource can be used as a reference for evolution mechanisms and comparative genomic research.
