Genome Sequence Data of Three Formae Speciales of Phytophthora vignae Causing Phytophthora Stem Rot on Different Vigna Species

Phytophthora vignae is an important oomycete pathogen causing Phytophthora stem rot on some Vigna spp. Three P. vignae isolates obtained from mung bean, adzuki bean, and cowpea exhibited high similarities in morphology and physiology but are specialized to infect different hosts. Here, we report the first de novo assembly of the draft genomes of three P. vignae isolates, which were performed using the PacBio SMRT Sequel platform. This study will extend the genomic resource available for the Phytophthora genus and provide a good foundation for further research on comparative genomics of Phytophthora spp. and interaction mechanism between hosts and pathogens.
