(2024). Draft genome sequence data of Fusarium verticillioides strain REC01, a phytopathogen isolated from a Peruvian maize. Data in brief, 57(2024), 110951. doi: 10.1016/j.dib.2024.1109512352-3409https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12955/2601Fusarium verticillioides represents a major phytopathogenic threat to maize crops worldwide. In this study, we present genomic sequence data of a phytopathogen isolated from a maize stem that shows obvious signs of vascular rot. Using rigorous microbiological identification techniques, we correlated the disease symptoms observed in an affected maize region with the presence of the pathogen. Subsequently, the pathogen was cultured in a suitable fungal growth medium and extensive morphological characterization was performed. In addition, a pathogenicity test was carried out in a DCA model with three treatments and seven repetitions. De novo assembly from Illumina Novaseq 60 0 0 sequencing yielded 456 contigs, which together constitute a 42.8 Mb genome assembly with a GC % content of 48.26. Subsequent comparative analyses were performed with other Fusarium genomes available in the NCBI database.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Genome sequencingVascular rotSSR data mininginfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#4.01.06https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2024.110951GenomesGenomaPlant diseasesEnfermedades de las plantasData miningMinería de datos
