High-Quality Genome Resource of Diaporthe destruens Causing Foot Rot Disease of Sweet Potato.

Foot rot of sweet potato caused by Diaporthe destruens severely affects yield and quality worldwide. Research on this pathogen is limited due to nonavailability of genome resources. Here, we report a high-quality genome sequence of D. destruens isolate CRI 305-2, which was originally isolated from infected stem of sweet potato in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. The genome comprised a total length of 56,108,228 bp, consisted of 47 scaffolds with an overall G+C content of 48.7% and an N50 of 2,479,481 bp. This resource can be used as a reference for evolution mechanisms and comparative genomic research.
