Stemphylium vesicarium strain:173-1a-13FI1M3 Genome sequencing and assembly. Stemphylium vesicarium strain:173-1a-13FI1M3

De novo sequencing and assembly of the genome of Stemphylium vesicarium isolated from leaves of Pyrus communis cultivar Abbé Fétel. S. vesicarium is a plant pathogenic ascomycota infecting pears and other agronomically important species. The Brown Spot of pear (BSP), caused by S. vesicarium, is the most economically important fungal disease of pear in Italy and in other European country. The knowlegdge of the whole S. vesicarium genome is a key step to make possible investigate about fungal lifestyle, secondary metabolism, molecular plant/pathogen interaction mechanisms, fungicides target genes, to carry out comparative genomics studies, and more.
