This study sequenced the entire genome of the highly virulent Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici strain 14003 and identified genes possibly related to specific virulence factors, enhancing the theoretical basis for prevention and control of pepper wilt disease.
Pepper wilt, caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici, is one of the main diseases on pepper. In this study, we obtained the whole genome sequence of the highly virulent F. oxysporum f. sp. capsici strain 14003 sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. In total, 3.87 million paired-end reads were obtained and assembled into 796 scaffolds with a genome-wide length of 47.6 Mb. In addition, we filtered genes that may be related to specific virulence factors and performed a comparative analysis between the genome of strain 14003 and the sequenced genomes of 36 isolates. The genome-sequencing results for strain 14003 will enhance the theoretical basis for pepper wilt prevention and control.
