Colletotrichum Genome sequencing and assembly. Colletotrichum

Colletotrichum siamense,Colletotrichum camellia,Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum karstii are the major causal pathogens causing anthracnose on Camellia oleifera. The disease incidence was 20 to 30% in plantations with over 50 acres of tea-oil trees. Whole genome sequencing of four Colletotrichum species as a first step toward understanding the genomic processes underlying plant host adaptation in these pathogens. These results will help in developing better preventive measures in accordance with the emergence of the four pathogens.
