High-quality genome resource of Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae associated with die-back on Eucalyptus trees.

High-quality genomes of five L. pseudotheobromae isolates were sequenced based on Oxford Nanopore technology (ONT) and Illumina HiSeq sequencing platform. The total size of each assembly ranged from 43 Mb to 43.86 Mb and over 11,000 protein-coding genes were predicted from each genome. The proteins of predicted genes were annotated using multiple public databases, among the annotated protein-coding genes, more than 4,300 genes were predicted as potential virulence genes by the Pathogen Host Interactions (PHI) database. Moreover, the genome comparative analysis among L. pseudotheobromae and other closely related species revealed that 7,408 gene clusters were shared among them and 152 gene clusters unique to L. pseudotheobromae. This genome and associated datasets provided here will serve as a useful resource for further analyses of this fungal pathogen species.
