Draft Genome Sequence of Cercospora arachidicola Causal Agent of Early Leaf Spot in Peanuts

摘要

Cercospora arachidicola, causal agent of early leaf spot, is an economically important peanut pathogen. Lack of genetic information about this fungus prevents understanding the role that potentially diverse genotypes may have in peanut breeding programs. Here, we report for the first time a draft genome sequence of C. arachidicola.
