Whole-genome sequences of <i>Colletotrichum siamense</i> and <i>Colletotrichum truncatum</i> , causal agents of pod and foliar diseases on African yam bean
Diseases caused by <i>Colletotrichum</i> fungi result in major agricultural losses worldwide. Here, we present two draft genomes of <i>Colletotrichum</i> spp. responsible for foliar and pod blight on African yam bean. <i>Colletotrichum siamense</i> and <i>Colletotrichum truncatum</i> assemblies totalled 55.8 Mb in 563 contigs and 54.8 Mb in 1,240 contigs, respectively.
