Genome assembly and annotation of botryosphaeria dothidea sdau11-99, a latent pathogen of apple fruit ring rot in China

Abstract

Botryosphaeria dothidea is a latent and important fungal pathogen on a wide range of woody plants. Fruit ring rot caused by B. dothidea is a major disease in China on apple. This study establishes a high-quality, nearly complete, and well-annotated genome sequence of B. dothidea strain sdau11-99. The findings of this research provide a reference genome resource for further research on the apple fruit ring rot pathogen on apple and other hosts.
