Verticillium dahliae is a widespread fungal pathogen that causes Verticillium wilt on many economically important crops and ornamentals worldwide. Populations of V. dahliae have been divided into two distinct races based upon differential host responses in tomato and lettuce. Recently, the contemporary race 2 isolates were further divided into an additional race in tomato. Herein, we provide a high-quality reference genome for the race 1 strain VdLs.16 isolated from lettuce in California, U.S.A. This resource will contribute to ongoing research that aims to elucidate the genetic basis of V. dahliae pathogenicity and population genomic diversity.

莴苣黄萎病种1分离株VdLs.16的基因组序列

黄萎病菌是一种广泛的真菌病原体，在全球许多重要的经济作物和观赏植物上引起黄萎病。根据番茄和生菜中不同的寄主响应，大丽花弧菌的种群已分为两个不同的种族。最近，当代人种2分离株进一步分为番茄中的另一种人种。在此，我们为比赛1株VdLs.16莴苣隔离在加州高品质的参考基因组，美国这一资源将有助于正在进行的研究旨在阐明的遗传基础棉花黄萎病菌致病性和基因组人口的多样性。
