Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum is an important plant pathogen responsible for vascular wilt disease on cotton. Members of this group are known to carry supernumerary chromosomes that encode virulence factors. We sequenced the genomes of five F. oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum isolates, including the genome of a representative of the highly virulent genotype race 4, at a high coverage to assemble reference-quality genomes. These genomes provide a necessary resource for comparative genomic analyses to identify genes or genome features that are involved in pathogenicity on cotton and may ultimately be used to identify improved management strategies.
