A high-quality whole-genome sequence, assembly, and gene annotation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) race 1 from California

Abstract

Fusarium wilt [ Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV)] in cotton is a widespread soilborne pathogen that causes vascular plant disease and is responsible for substantial crop losses worldwide. FOV race 1 (FOV1) is well established across almost all cotton production regions, especially in the USA. Herein, we report a high-quality whole-genome sequence, assembly, and gene annotation of a FOV1 isolate from California.
