摘要

Elsinoe masingae is a recently described fungal pathogen causing Eucalyptus scab and shoot malformation in South African plantations. Here we present the draft genome sequence of the ex-holotype isolate (CMW 58888 = CMW-IA 1800). Illumina paired-end sequencing generated approximately 24.6 million reads, yielding a 24.8 Mb assembly comprising 176 scaffolds with an N50 of 0.47 Mb and a GC content of 51.04%. BUSCO analysis using the dothideomycetes_odb10 dataset indicated 93.70% completeness, and funannotate predicted 8 883 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic inference based on ITS, LSU, TEF1 and RPB2 sequences confirmed the identity of the sequenced isolate as E. masingae. The availability of this genome provides an essential resource for developing molecular tools to study the population diversity, epidemiology, and evolutionary history of E. masingae, and enables comparative analyses of pathogenicity and host adaptation among Elsinoe species affecting Eucalyptus and other crops.
