Draft Genome Sequences of Three Strains of Verticillium nonalfalfae Exhibiting Different Levels of Aggressiveness on Ailanthus altissima.

ABSTRACT: Verticillium nonalfalfae, a soilborne vascular fungus, shows promise for biocontrol of highly invasive Ailanthus altissima strains. This announcement provides draft genome sequences of the aggressive isolate G1/5 (wild-type strain), the highly aggressive isolate Vert56 (improved strain), and the mildly aggressive isolate I3/2, all obtained from symptomatic A. altissima trees in Austria.
