title: Draft genome sequence ofCercospora sojinaisolate S9, a fungus causing frogeye leaf spot (FLS) disease of soybean.
abstract: Fungi are the causal agents of many of the world's most serious plant diseases causing disastrous consequences for large-scale agricultural production. Pathogenicity genomic basis is complex in fungi as multicellular eukaryotic pathogens. The fungusCercospora sojinais a plant pathogen that threatens global soybean supplies. Here, we report the genome sequence ofC.sojinastrain S9 and detect genome features and predicted genomic elements. The genome sequence ofC.sojinais a valuable resource with potential in studying the fungal pathogenicity and soybean host resistance to frogeye leaf spot (FLS), which is caused byC.sojina. TheC.sojinagenome sequence has been deposited and available at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the project accession number AHPQ00000000.
