Genome Resource for Elsinoë batatas , the Causal Agent of Stem and Foliage Scab Disease of Sweet Potato

is a phytopathogenic fungus causing stem and foliage scab disease of sweet potato. At present, there is no reference genome available for , limiting basic research for the pathogen. The present study applied the Nanopore single-molecule sequencing technology to sequence the genome. This study reports the first high-quality genome sequence of , with a total contig size of 26.49 Mb, 50.8% GC content, and an N of 2,546,814 bp. The sequences obtained serve as a reference for analysis of isolates and provide a resource to better understand the biology of stem and foliage scab disease of sweet potato.
