The current study annotated the genome of the isolate GZU-Y2 to advance our knowledge of the pathogen and facilitate improved disease management of leaf spot blight. The initial Pacbio-Illumina hybrid draft genome for GZU-Y2 resulted in a high-quality assembly with 62 contigs, characterized by an N50 length of 7.

Methods: In the present study, we explored its inhibitory effects on spore germination and mycelial growth of .
Article Synopsis
- Osmanthus fragrans, a valuable evergreen tree, is facing a leaf blight disease in Guizhou Province, with around 50% of trees affected, showing symptoms of brown spots and leaf droop from late April to June 2023.* -
- Leaves from symptomatic trees were collected, disinfected, and cultured, leading to the identification of fungal colonies that displayed specific morphological characteristics indicative of Diaporthe spp.* -
- DNA analysis of selected isolates was conducted, amplifying specific gene regions, and the sequences were submitted to GenBank for further study, providing critical information on the genetic makeup of the disease-causing fungus.*
Camellia oleifera Abel. is one of the native and important natural edible oil species in China. The cultivation of C.
