Genome Sequence Resource for Elsinoe ampelina, the Causal Organism of Grapevine Anthracnose

Elsinoe ampelina is an ascomycetous fungus that causes grape anthracnose, a potentially devastating disease worldwide. Here, we report a 28.29 Mb high-quality genome sequence of E. ampelina YL-1 that encodes 8,057 predicted protein-coding genes and represents the first sequenced genome assembly of E. ampelina. This study adds to the current genomic resources for the genus Elsinoe and paves the way for research on comparative genomic studies, E. ampelina-grape interactions, and improvement of management strategies.
