Genome sequences for twenty-four Phytophthora and one Nothophytophthora species for the study of the evolution of pathogenicity in Peronosporaceae

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Oomycetes classified in the genera Phytophthora and Nothophytophthora encompass a wide range of lifestyles, from saprotrophic and water-borne to destructive soil-borne or wind-dispersed plant pathogens. To clarify the evolutionary and genomic basis of these transitions, genome sequences for a wide range of species are necessary. However, the amount of genomes currently available is not representative of the full range of these lifestyles. To address this gap, we present draft genomes of 24 Phytophthora and one Nothophytophthora species, of which 14 have 100% BUSCO completeness for the Straminipila dataset. We hope that this resource will stimulate further research into the evolution of pathogenicity in Peronosporaceae.
