Fungal Canker Pathogen Sequences from Western U.S. Grapevine and Nut Trees

Sequencing data for fungal canker pathogens collected from woody perennial crops, including grapevine, almonds, peach, and cherry, from the United States, especially California and Washington. The data was provided by the USDA-ARS San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Sciences Center and last updated on 2026-05-22. These sequences aim to allow better characterization of existing fungal pathogens present in these areas.

Use Cases

• Characterize fungal pathogen populations based on sequencing data mentioned in the description
• Study disease prevalence in specific crops (grapevine, almonds, peach, cherry) based on host information
• Analyze geographic distribution of pathogens based on collection locations (California, Washington)
• Develop molecular diagnostics for fungal cankers based on genetic sequence data

Strengths

• Data originates from a specific, authoritative agricultural research center (USDA-ARS San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Sciences Center)
• Focuses on multiple economically important crop hosts (grapevine, almonds, peach, cherry)
• Provides geographic specificity for pathogen collection (United States, especially California and Washington)

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
