Abstract
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a fungal pathogen that infects an extremely wide range of hosts and can cause diseases in over 600 plant species. In this study, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (strain S1), which causes sclerotinosis in mulberry fruits, was isolated from the mulberry orchard at the Chongqing Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China, and its complete genome was sequenced using PacBio Sequel II. The assembly consists of 24 contigs with an estimated genome size of 38.91 Mbp and is predicted to encode 9,920 protein-coding genes. This is the first genomic information for Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolated from diseased mulberry fruit and represents a valuable resource for a comprehensive understanding of Sclerotinia spp. [Formula: see text] Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
