Genome Analyses of the Less Aggressive Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IB Isolates 1/2/21 and O8/2 Compared to the Reference AG1-IB Isolate 7/3/14.

ABSTRACT: Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IB of the phylum Basidiomycota is known as phytopathogenic fungus affecting various economically important crops, such as bean, rice, soybean, figs, cabbage and lettuce. The isolates 1/2/21 and O8/2 of the anastomosis group AG1-IB originating from lettuce plants with bottom rot symptoms represent two less aggressive R. solani isolates, as confirmed in a pathogenicity test on lettuce. They were deeply sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq system applying the mate-pair and paired-end mode to establish their genome sequences. Assemblies of obtained sequences resulted in 2092 and 1492 scaffolds, respectively, for isolate 1/2/21 and O8/2, amounting to a size of approximately 43 Mb for each isolate. Gene prediction by applying AUGUSTUS (v. 3.2.1.) yielded 12,827 an
