Abstract

Powdery mildew is one of the most economically destructive diseases in protected straw- berry production. Here we present the first genome assembly for Podosphaera aphanis, the causal agent of powdery mildew on strawberry. This obligate-biotrophic fungal pathogen was sampled from a naturally occurring outbreak on Fragaria × ananassa ‘Malling Centenary’ plants grown under cover in the United Kingdom. Assembled reads resolved a 55.6 Mb genome, composed of 12,357 contigs whose annotation led to prediction of 17,239 genes encoding 17,328 proteins. The genome is highly-complete, with 97.5% of conserved single- copy Ascomycete genes shown to be present. This annotated P. aphanis genome provides a molecular resource for further investigation into host−pathogen interactions in the strawberry powdery mildew pathosystem.
