Phyllachora maydis is an important fungal pathogen that causes tar spot of corn and has led to significant yield loss in the United States and other countries. P. maydis is an obligate biotroph belonging to the Sordariomycetes class of Ascomycota. Due to the challenges posed by their obligate nature, there is no genome sequence available in the Phyllachora genus. P. maydis isolate PM01 was collected from a corn field in Indiana and the genome was determined by next-generation sequencing. The assembly size is 45.7 Mb, with 56.46% repetitive sequences. There are 5,992 protein-coding genes and 59 are predicted as effector proteins. This genome resource will increase our understanding of genomic features of P. maydis and will assist in studying the corn-P. maydis interaction and identifying potential resistant candidates for corn breeding programs.

疫霉菌的基因组序列资源草案是一种致病性病原体，在美国引起了玉米焦油斑点，并带来了近期的经济影响。

疫霉可能是一种重要的真菌病原体，会导致玉米焦油斑，并在美国和其他国家导致严重的产量损失。麦氏假单胞菌是一种专性的生物营养菌，属于子囊菌的拟南芥属。由于其专一性带来的挑战，疫霉属中没有可用的基因组序列。从印第安那州的一个玉米田中收集了玉米假单胞菌分离物PM01，并通过下一代测序确定了基因组。程序集大小为45.7 Mb，重复序列为56.46％。有5,992个蛋白质编码基因，其中59个被预测为效应蛋白。这种基因组资源将增进我们对梅氏疟原虫基因组特征的了解，并将有助于研究玉米-P。maydis相互作用并确定玉米育种计划的潜在抗性候选人。
