Genome and Transcriptome Analysis of Ascochyta pisi Provides Insights into the Pathogenesis of Ascochyta Blight of Pea.

ABSTRACT: Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta pisi is a major constraint to pea (Pisum sativum L.) production worldwide. Deciphering the pathogenic mechanism of A. pisi on peas will help in breeding resistant pea varieties and developing effective approaches for disease management. However, little is known about the genomic features and pathogenic factors of A. pisi. In this study, we first report that A. pisi is one of the causal agents of ascochyta blight disease of pea in China. The genome of the representative isolate A. pisi HNA23 was sequenced using PacBio and Illumina sequencing technologies. The HNA23 genome assembly is almost 41.5 Mb in size and harbors 10,796 putative protein-encoding genes. We predicted 555 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), 1,008 secreted protei
