Genome Announc. 2016 Sep 15;4(5):e00771-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00771-16.

Abstract

Fusarium culmorum is a soilborne fungal plant pathogen that causes foot and root rot and Fusarium head blight on small-grain cereals, in particular on wheat and barley. We report herein the draft genome sequence of a 1998 field strain called FcUK99 adapted to the temperate climate found in England.
