Abstract:
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a notorious fungal pathogen that causes sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) on many important crops in China and worldwide. Here, we present a high-quality genome assembly of S. sclerotiorum strain WH6 using the PacBio SMRT cell platform. The assembled genome has a total size of 38.96 Mbp, with a contig N50 length of 1.90 Mbp, and encodes 10,512 predicted coding genes, including 685 secreted proteins and 65 effector candidates. This is the first report of a S. sclerotiorum genome sequence from China. The WH6 genome sequence provides a valuable resource for facilitating our understanding of S. sclerotiorum-host interactions and SSR control in China and the world.
