Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, which causes root and vascular wilting, is one of the most devastating diseases infecting cucumber. Here, we report the first genome resource with high-quality assembly for F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum strain Race-4, which is primarily endemic to China. The genome was 59.11 Mb in size and consisted of 48 scaffolds with an N50 of 3.87 Mb using PacBio long reads (301.77×) sequencing, and encodes 14,898 proteins from analyzing RNA-seq data. Gene annotations identified pathogen-host interaction genes, fungal virulence factors, secreted proteins, transcription factors, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene. Moreover, functional genes reported in previous studies were also identified in the genome of Race-4. These genes and genome resource may play important roles in understanding F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum–cucumber interactions and will be useful for further research.
