Whole-Genome Sequencing and Genome Annotation of Pathogenic <i>Elsinoe batatas</i> Causing Stem and Foliage Scab Disease in Sweet Potato.

ABSTRACT: A pathogen strain responsible for sweet potato stem and foliage scab disease was isolated from sweet potato stems. Through a phylogenetic analysis based on the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, combined with morphological methods, the isolated strain was identified as Elsinoë batatas. To comprehensively analyze the pathogenicity of the isolated strain from a genetic perspective, the whole-genome sequencing of E. batatas HD-1 was performed using both the PacBio and Illumina platforms. The genome of E. batatas HD-1 is about 26.31 Mb long in 167 scaffolds, with a GC content of 50.81%, and 7898 protein-coding genes, 131 non-coding RNAs, and 1954 interspersed repetitive sequences were predicted. Functional annotation revealed that 408 genes encode virulence fac
