Cercospora beticola strain:ICMP 21692 Genome sequencing and assembly. Cercospora beticola strain:ICMP 21692

Cercospora beticola is the cause of Cercospora Leaf Spot (CLS) on sugar beet, table beet, and swiss chard worldwide. A de novo genome assembly of C. beticola was constructed to develop microsatellite markers for population genetic analyses. Also, the draft de novo genome assembly will help identification of toxin producing and fungicide resistance loci, and may help elucidate the reproductive system of C. beticola through investigating evidence of recombination in the C. beticola genome.
