Oidium neolycopersici UMSG2 (Tomato powdery mildew)
Erysiphe neolycopersici
Powdery mildew (PM) is one of the most important and widespread plant diseases caused by obligate biotrophic Ascomycete fungi in the order of Erysiphales. Monocot PM fungi such as Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei (Bgh) infectious on barley and B. graminis f.sp. tritici (Bgt) infectious on wheat exhibit high-level of host-specialization. By contrast, many dicot PM fungi display rather broad host ranges. To understand why different PM fungi adopt distinct modes of host-adaption, we sequenced the genomes of four dicot PM strains belonging to Golovinomyces cichoracearum (GcC1, GcM1, GcM3) or Oidium neolycopersici (OnM2) and conducted comparative sequence analyses. This bioproject included the sequencing and assembly information of Oidium neolycopersici UMSG2 (OnM2) which is found on tomato plants grown on the Shady Grove campus of University of Maryland. The genome sequence was sequenced at 55X coverage using an Illumina shotgun sequncing approach. The estimated genome size is 120 Mb.
