title: IMA Genome-F 7: Draft genome sequences forCeratocystis fagacearum, C. harringtonii, Grosmannia penicillata,andHuntiella bhutanensis.
abstract: Draft genomes for the fungiCeratocystis fagacearum, C. harringtonii, Grosmannia penicillata,andHuntiella bhutanensisare presented.Ceratocystis fagacearumis a major causal agent of vascular wilt of oaks and other trees in the familyFagaceae.Ceratocystis harringtonii,previously known asC. populicola,causes disease inPopulusspecies in the USA and Canada.Grosmannia penicillatais the causal agent of bluestain of sapwood on various conifers, includingPiceaspp. andPinusspp. in Europe.Huntiella bhutanensisis a fungus inCeratocystidaceaeand known only in association with the bark beetleIps schmutzenhorferithat infestsPicea spinulosain Bhutan. The availability of these genomes will facilitate further studies on these fungi.
