Draft genome sequence data of Pythium cedri Chen 4, the causal pathogen of deodar cedar root rot.

ABSTRACT: Pythium species are distributed globally, with certain members playing significant roles as plant and animal pathogens. Pythium cedri Chen 4 has been identified as a pathogenic isolate responsible for causing root rot on Cedrus deodara. Here, a comprehensive genome-wide sequence of P. cedri strain Chen 4 utilizing the Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platform and a Pacific Biosciences Sequel sequencing platform is presented. The genome of P. cedri strain Chen 4 was assembled into 150 contigs containing a combined size of 41.25 Mb, N50 value of 1,717,859 bp and N90 value of 431,829 bp. Genome annotation revealed 14,077 protein-encoding genes and 364 of the 1016 predicted proteins were putative effectors. The present work enriches the genetic resources of P.
