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.
