High-Quality Reference Genome Sequence for the Oomycete Vegetable Pathogen Phytophthora capsici Strain LT1534

Abstract

The oomycete Phytophthora capsici is a destructive pathogen of a wide range of vegetable hosts, especially peppers and cucurbits. A 94.17-Mb genome assembly was constructed using PacBio and Illumina data and annotated with support from transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) reads.
