Abstract:
Ciborinia camelliae Kohn is the causal agent of camellia flower blight. The
pathogen infects only flowers of camellias, causing serious damage to the plant
and economic damages to growers. European diversity of the strains was analysed
by multilocus sequencing targeting GAPDH, EF1a, B-TUB2 and ITS regions. Strain
diversity showed that some isolates obtained in Europe may originate from other
regions where recombination may have occurred. To better decipher the genetic
determinants of virulence in this species, the full genome sequence of an Italian
strain of C. camellia was obtained with a hybrid approach combining Illumina Hiseq
paired reads and MinIon Nanopore long reads sequencing. We obtained a genome
with a total length of 48.01 Mb and 97.5% completeness according to BUSCO
analysis. The genome was assembled into 55 contigs with a contig N of 2.01 Mb.
Our work extends the knowledge on C. camelliae diversity and contributes to
improving the knowledge on genomes of an important family of plant pathogens:
Sclerotiniaceae.
