Botrytized wines are produced from grape berries infected by Botrytis cinerea under specific environmental conditions. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. cinerea BcDW1, a strain isolated from Semillon grapes in Napa Valley in 1992 that is used with the intent to induce noble rot for botrytized wine production.
Title: Draft Genome Sequence of Neofusicoccum parvum Isolate UCR-NP2, a Fungal Vascular Pathogen Associated with Grapevine Cankers Blanco-Ulate B, Rolshausen P, Cantu D Ref: Genome Announc, 1:, 2013 : PubMed
Neofusicoccum parvum, a member of the Botryosphaeriaceae family, is a vascular pathogen that causes severe decline and dieback symptoms in grapevines worldwide. The draft genome of the grapevine isolate N. parvum UCR-NP2 provides a first glimpse into the complex set of putative virulence factors that this pathogen may use to rapidly colonize plants.
Title: Draft Genome Sequence of the Ascomycete Phaeoacremonium aleophilum Strain UCR-PA7, a Causal Agent of the Esca Disease Complex in Grapevines Blanco-Ulate B, Rolshausen P, Cantu D Ref: Genome Announc, 1:, 2013 : PubMed
Grapevine infections by Phaeoacremonium aleophilum in association with other pathogenic fungi cause complex and economically important vascular diseases. Here we present the first draft of the P. aleophilum genome sequence, which comprises 624 scaffolds with a total length of 47.5 Mb (L50, 45; N50, 336 kb) and 8,926 predicted protein-coding genes.
The vascular pathogen Eutypa lata, which causes Eutypa dieback in grapevines, is a major threat to grape production worldwide. Here, we present the first draft genome sequence of E. lata (UCR-EL1). The computational prediction and annotation of the protein-coding genes of UCR-EL1 provide an initial inventory of its potential virulence factors.
