Genome assembly of <i>Ramulariopsis gossypii</i> : a pathogen associated with areolate mildew in cotton ( <i>Gossypium</i> spp.)
ABSTRACT Areolate mildew is a foliar disease of cotton, with two fungal species reported as causal pathogens. We announce the first genome of Ramulariopsis gossypii . The genome size is 33.34 Mbp, with an N50 of 2.116 Mb and Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs completeness of 98.8%, providing a resource for comparative genomics and disease management.
