Genomes & Annotations Data: Genome Resources for the Ex-type of Phytophthora citricola, and well-authenticated isolates of P. hibernalis, P. nicotianae and P. syringae

<p><em>Phytophthora</em> is one of the most important genera of plant pathogens. In order to build robust molecular identification systems, it is very important to have information from well-authenticated specimens and in preference the Ex-type specimens. The reference genomes of well-authenticated specimens form a critical foundation for genetics, biological research, and diagnostic applications. In this study, we describe four draft <em>Phytophthora</em> genomes resources for the Ex-type of <em>P. citricola</em> BL34 (P0716 WPC) (118 contigs for 50 Mb), and well-authenticated specimens of <em>P. syringae</em> BL57G (P10330 WPC) (591 contigs for 75 Mb), <em>P. hibernalis</em> BL41G (P3822 WPC) (404 contigs for 84 Mb), and <em>P. nicotianae</em> BL162 (P6303 WPC) (3984 contigs for 108 Mb) generated with MinION long-read High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technology (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, ONT). Using these draft reads we assembled high coverage genomes of <em>P. citricola</em> with 291X coverage and 16,662 annotated genes; <em>P. nicotianae</em> with 205X coverage and 29,271 annotated genes; <em>P. syringae</em> with 76X coverage and 23,331 annotated genes, and <em>P. hibernalis</em> with 42X coverage and 21,762 annotated genes. We anticipate that these draft genomes will be helpful for various basic and applied research including diagnostics to protect US agriculture.</p> <p>Subodh K. Srivastava (1, 2), Leandra M.
