Genome Resource for Peanut Web Blotch Causal Agent<i>Peyronellaea arachidicola</i>Strain YY187

Abstract

Peyronellaea arachidicola is the causal agent of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) web blotch. Here, we report an assembled draft genome sequence of P. arachidicola strain YY187 obtained from the symptomatic leaf of peanut in China. The genome size is 47.3 Mb, consisting of 26 contigs (N 50 = 2.2 Mb) with G+C content of 56.37%. This genome will provide a valuable foundation for further research on genetics and comparative genomics of P. arachidicola.
