Draft genome of <i>Neofabraea vagabunda</i> , the agent of bull's eye rot

Abstract Neofabraea vagabunda is the causal agent of bull's eye rot, a major postharvest disease of apple that causes significant economic losses during and after storage. Despite its relevance, genomic resources for this pathogen are lacking. Here, we present the draft genome of N. vagabunda , with 99.9% completeness according to BUSCO assessment. Functional annotation predicted 10,445 protein‐coding genes, including 917 secreted proteins, 2304 membrane proteins, 370 proteases, 535 carbohydrate‐active enzymes, and 11 biosynthetic gene clusters. This draft genome represents a key resource for investigating its pathogenicity, evolution, and adaptation to the postharvest environment.
