Abstract excerpt
Neopestalotiopsis species (spp.) have recently emerged as major pathogens worldwide, causing leaf spot, fruit rot, and crown rot of strawberry, resulting in increased disease outbreaks and economic losses. Despite their increasing impact, there is a limited genomic resource for this pathogen group, constraining insights into pathogenic mechanisms and fungicide resistance. We conducted whole-genome sequencing of...
