Macrophomina tecta strain:BRIP 70781 Genome sequencing and assembly. Macrophomina tecta strain:BRIP 70781

Here, we present the first high-quality genome assembly and annotation of M. tecta isolate BRIP 70781 associated with charcoal rot symptoms on sorghum. Hybrid assembly integrating long reads generated by Oxford Nanopore Technology and short Illumina paired-end reads resulted in 43 contigs with a total assembly size of ~54 Mb, and an N50 of 3.4 Mb
