摘要

Fusarium oxysporum FO12 was originally isolated from cork oak (Quercus suber L.) and has been characterised as a highly effective biological control agent of wilt diseases on different crops. FO12 endophytically colonises roots and basal stems of plants, reducing the establishment of the soil-borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae and triggering plant defence-related genes. Here, we report a chromosome-level genome assembly of FO12 using Nanopore and Hi-C data. The 57.60 Mb assembly comprises 14 chromosome-scale scaffolds with centromeres resolved and telomeric repeats detected at 4 of 28 chromosome ends. This high-quality reference genome provides a valuable resource for further research into the use of FO12 in agriculture as a biocontrol agent.
