,Colletotrichum shisoi is a fungal plant pathogen of Perilla frutescens, a mint species cultivated in some Asian countries but considered invasive in the United States. This dataset contains a new, highly contiguous genome sequence generated from the North American C. shisoi isolate FDWSRU 21-072, which has been proposed for use as a biological control agent of invasive P. frutescens. Long-read PacBio sequencing produced a nuclear genome assembly of 48 contigs and 86.9 Mb. Structural and functional gene annotations were generated with the FunAnnotate v1.8.16 pipeline. Repetitive contents were annotated using RepeatMasker v4.1.5. A complete mitochondrial genome was assembled using MitoHifi and Flye, and mitochondrial annotations were predicted using MFannot.,

,A total of 30 isolates of Colletotrichum sublineola, causal agent of sorghum anthracnose were collected from Georgia, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and Texas. Data for their virulence patterns on 18 sorghum differentials, RTx2536, SC748-5, Martin (BTx398), TAM428, BTx430, Brandes, SC112-14, Theis, BTx378, SC326-6, SC283, BTx623, SC328C, SC414-12E, PI570841, PI570726, PI569979, and IS18760 were collected from greenhouse trials in College Station, Texas by Louis K. Prom, Ezekiel J. S. Ahn, Ramasamy Perumal, Hugo E. Cuevas, William L. Rooney, Thomas S. Isakeit, and Clint W. Magill between 2014 and 2018. As described by Prom et al. 2012 and 2024, plants were assessed for anthracnose infection twice, 30 days post-inoculation and a week later using disease rating scale 1-5, where 1 = no symptoms or chlorotic flecks on leaves; 2 = hypersensitive reaction (reddening or red spots) on inoculated leaves but no acervuli formation; 3 = lesions on inoculated and bottom leaves with acervuli in the center; 4 = necrotic lesions with acervuli observed on inoculated and bottom leaves with infection spreading to middle leaves, and not yet on the flag leaves; and 5 = most leaves dead due to infection with infection on the flag leaf containing abundant acervuli. The symptom types were then categorized into two reaction classes, resistant = rating 1 or 2; and susceptible = rating 3, 4, or 5. As noted in the dataset, R = resistant response and S = susceptible response.,,

,Ramularia crupinae is a foliar and stem blighting fungal pathogen specific to the invasive rangeland weed common crupina (Crupina vulgaris). This fungal plant pathogen was recently approved by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) as the first biological control agent for the management of common crupina in the western United States. The genome assembly for R. crupinae 00-010 (https://mycocosm.jgi.doe.gov/Ramcr1/Ramcr1.info.html) contains 18 contigs totaling 37.9 Mb, and was annotated using the JGI fungal annotation pipeline. The information contained within this Ag Data Commons dataset provides an updated R. crupinae chromosome-level genome assembly. These data are freely available for research purposes.,Resources in this dataset:,

,This dataset contains all raw data and R statistical software code needed to reproduce the data processing, statistical model fitting, and data/model visualizations presented in the associated manuscript, titled “Distribution of Pseudomonas amygdali pv. loropetali in the twig phylloplane of Loropetalum chinense shrubs in ornamental plant nurseries.”,The manuscript describes a survey done across six ornamental plant nurseries to assess the prevalence of galling symptoms in loropetalum plants caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas amygdali pv. loropetali (PAL), and the abundance of the PAL bacterium. The presence of symptoms was assessed, and the abundance of PAL estimated with a PAL-specific qPCR method, on twigs at three height strata on each plant. In the associated analysis notebook, we present a spatial analysis of the symptom prevalence (Moran’s I and logistic regression), and a Gamma generalized linear mixed model comparing PAL abundance across nurseries, height strata, and galled versus gall-free plants. Significant differences in PAL number were found between nurseries, between strata, and between galled and gall-free plants. The raw data are provided here in .csv format, and the R statistical software code in an RMarkdown notebook, with .Rmd source code and rendered .html output.,,

These data represent the first reference genome for the invasive Phragmites australis ssp. australis (1.14 giga base pairs (Gbp)), as well as output from comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses for invasive and native genotypes coexisting in the Great Lakes region of North America. Genome sequencing data used tillers and associated rhizome tissues collected from a single P. australis patch at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge near Toledo, Ohio, USA. Transcriptome analyses were produced from samples collected from three invasive and three native genotype P. australis patches from four sites around the Great Lakes in Michigan and Ohio, USA.

,Dollar spot is one of the most destructive globally distributed diseases of turfgrass. The identity of the fungus responsible for the disease has been the subject of debate for more than 75 years. These datasets provide the phylogenetic evidence from three nucleotide sequence markers (CaM, ITS and Mcm7) that underlie the establishment of the new fungal genus Clarireedia, which includes four species that cause turfgrass dollar spot disease: Clarireedia homoeocarpa, C. bennettii, C. jacksonii, and C. monteithiana. Datasets include the DNA sequence alignments for the CaM, ITS and Mcm7 markers for exemplar Clarireedia isolates, and the complete combined phylogenetic dataset and phylogenetic tree file.,,
