Dataset Information

The reference genome and organelle genomes of wasabi (Eutrema japoniacum).

ABSTRACT: Wasabi (Eutrema japonicum) is one of the most famous vegetable crops in the family Brassicaceae. However, a limited genomic resource is available, which hinders genomic breeding and understanding of the genetic basis of vital traits. Here, we generated the genome assembly of wasabi using the hybrid genome assembly strategy, which combined the Nanopore long reads and Illumina reads. The genome assembly contains 687M bp and 39,534 high-quality annotated gene models. Besides, we annotated 68.85% of the genomic sequences as repetitive elements, including 43.72% of retrotransposons and 18.99% of DNA transposons. Using the customized pipeline, we also generated the complete organelle genomes of wasabi. This reference genome could provide essential genomic resources for evolution, breeding, and exploring the unique biological traits of wasabi.

Project description:Blackleg disease is devastating for wasabi (Eutrema japonicum) production, occurring at any time and everywhere within the main production area of the Sichuan Province, China. There have been very few studies on the chemical control of this disease. In this study, we isolated and identified a local popular strain of the pathogen Plenodomus wasabiae. The isolated fungus strain caused typical disease spots on the leaves and rhizomes upon inoculation back to wasabi seedlings. The symptoms of blackleg disease developed very quickly, becaming visible on the second day after exposure to P. wasabiae and leading to death within one week. We then evaluated the efficacy of ten widely used fungicides to screen out effective fungicides. The efficacy of the tested fungicides was determined through mycelial growth inhibition on medium plates. As a result, tebuconazole and pyraclostrobin were able to inhibit the mycelial growth of P. wasabiae, and the most widely used dimethomorph in local production areas produced the lowest inhibition activity (13.8%). Nevertheless, the highest control efficacy of tebuconazole and pyraclostrobin on wasabi seedlings was only 47.48% and 39.03%, respectively. Generally, the control efficacy of spraying the fungicide before inoculation was better than that after inoculation. An increase in the application concentration of the two fungicides did not proportionately result in improved performance. We cloned the full-length sequence of sterol 14-demethylase (CYP51) and cytochrome B (CYTB) of which the mutations may contribute to the possible antifungalresistance. These two genes of the isolated fungus do not possess any reported mutations that lead to fungicide resistance. Previous studies indicate that there is a significant difference between fungicides in terms of the effectiveness of controlling blackleg disease; however, the control efficacy of fungicides is limited in blackleg control. Therefore, field management to prevent wound infection and unfavorable environmental conditions are more important than pesticide management.
