Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), the causal agent of banana Fusarium wilt (Panama disease), has severely jeopardized the global banana industry. Here we present the chromosomal-level genome assemblies of Foc tropical race 4 (TR4) and race 1 (R1) strains from Taiwan. Both strains were sequenced by Illumina (Mi-Seq) and Oxford Nanopore sequencing (MinION) technologies and assembled by the NECAT assembler.
Rai et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
