Draft genome sequence of Penicillium citrinum B9, a plant growth-promoting symbiont from barley rhizosphere.

Penicillium citrinum strain B9 is a plant growth-promoting fungus isolated from Barley (Hordeum vulgare) rhizosphere. We report the first draft genome of P. citrinum B9 assembled using single-molecule real-time sequencing and Illumina reads. The assembled genome spans 31.3 Mb comprising nine contigs and 10,106 protein-encoding genes.

Draft genome sequence of Xylaria bambusicola isolate GMP-LS, the root and basal stem rot pathogen of sugarcane in Indonesia.

The first draft genome of X. bambusicola GMP-LS, the causal pathogen of the Root, and Basal Stem Rot disease in Sugarcane is presented based on single-molecule real-time PacBio sequencing. Xylaria genome (72.43 Mb) is predicted to encode 13,430 proteins and will contribute to molecular understanding of fungal pathogenesis.
