The financial assistance received from ICAR and AgriGenome Labs is gratefully acknowledged. The authors also acknowledge the Herbarium Cryptogamae Indiae Orientalis (HICO), Division of Plant Pathology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), for undertaking conservation of the deposited fungal specimen. N2 - Sclerospora graminicola pathogen is the most important biotic production constraints of pearl millet in India, Africa and other parts of the world. We report a de novo whole genome assembly and analysis of pathotype 1, one of the most virulent pathotypes of S. graminicola from India. The draft genome assembly contained 299,901,251 bp with 65,404 genes. This study may help understand the evolutionary pattern of pathogen and aid elucidation of effector evolution for devising effective durable resistance breeding strategies in pearl millet.
