Genome sequence of Ceratocystis huliohia , a fungal pathogen of the native ‘Ōhi‘a tree in Hawai‘i

Key Points

• To sequence the genome of the fungal pathogen Ceratocystis huliohia affecting native Ōhi‘a trees.
• Isolate C25-5 collected on the island of Maui in April 2025.
• Genomic sequencing performed to assess pathogen characteristics.
• Genome sequence data provides insights into the biology of Ceratocystis huliohia, potentially informing management strategies for Ōhi‘a tree health.
