Pseudocercospora fuligena is a fungus that causes black leaf mold, an important disease of tomato in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Despite its economic importance, genomic resources for this pathogen are scarce and no reference genome was available thus far. Here, we report a 50.6-Mb genome assembly for P. fuligena, consisting of 348 contigs with an N₅₀ value of 0.407 Mb. In total, 13,764 protein-coding genes were predicted with an estimated BUSCO completeness of 98%. Among the predicted genes there were 179 candidate effectors, 445 carbohydrate-active enzymes, and 30 secondary metabolite gene clusters. The resources presented in this study will allow genome-wide comparative analyses and population genomic studies of this pathogen, ultimately improving management strategies for black leaf mold of tomato.

假单胞菌（Pseudocercospora fuligena）是一种引起黑叶霉菌的真菌，这是世界热带和亚热带地区一种重要的番茄病。尽管具有重要的经济意义，但该病原体的基因组资源却很稀少，到目前为止，尚无参考基因组。在这里，我们报告了P. fuligena的50.6-Mb基因组装配，由348个重叠群和N _50组成值0.407 Mb。总共预测了13,764个蛋白质编码基因，估计BUSCO完整性为98％。在预测的基因中，有179个候选效应子，445个碳水化合物活性酶和30个次级代谢产物基因簇。本研究中提供的资源将允许对该病原体进行全基因组的比较分析和群体基因组研究，最终改善番茄黑叶霉菌的管理策略。
