Genome Sequence Analysis of the Fungal Pathogen Fusarium graminearum Using Oxford Nanopore Technology

Maize seedling blight (MSB) is an important disease in maize growing regions in China and its occurrence has increased rapidly in recent years Fusarium graminearum, which can be both seed-borne and soil-borne, is a major pathogen causing MSB. As first strain sequenced in China, The Fusarium graminearum FG-12 genome sequence and putative pathogenicity genes here provides the optimum resource for intraspecies and interspecies comparative analyses and gene function studies
