Draft genomes and assemblies of the ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes <i>Scleroderma citrinum</i> hr and <i>S. yunnanense</i> jo associated with chestnut trees
The earthball <i>Scleroderma</i>, an ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete belonging to the Sclerodermataceae family, serves as a significant mutualistic tree symbiont globally. Originally, two genetically sequenced strains of this genus were obtained from fruiting bodies collected under chestnut trees (<i>Castanea mollissima</i>). These strains were utilized to establish <i>in vitro</i> ectomycorrhizal roots of chestnut seedlings. The genome sequences of these strains share characteristics with those of other ectomycorrhizal species in Boletales order, including a restricted set of genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes. The genome sequences presented here will aid in further exploring the factors contributing to the establishment of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis in chestnut trees.
