Abstract:Phytophthora citrophthora
is an oomycete pathogen that infects citrus. Its occurrence in citrus-growing regions worldwide is considered a major contributor to crop losses. This study presents a high-quality genome resource for
P. citrophthora
, which was generated using PacBio HiFi long-read high-throughput sequencing technology. We successfully assembled a 48.5 Mb genome containing 16,409 protein-coding genes from high-quality reads. This marks the first complete genome assem… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
