Rhizopus Stolonifer PRFJ02 Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly for Passion Fruit Pathogen

48.2 Mb genome assembly of the Rhizopus stolonifer isolate PRFJ02, spanning 11 chromosomes with 98.9% completeness and encoding 11,737 protein-coding genes. The assembly was generated by Jiaman Sun using PacBio HiFi sequencing and Hi-C chromatin conformation capture and published on figshare in April 2026. It provides a resource for studying the genomic basis of passion fruit flower rot.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis across Rhizopus species based on the conserved core gene set and lineage-specific clusters described.
• Studying fungal effector repertoires and their role in plant infection based on the comparative effector analysis.
• Investigating pectin degradation mechanisms in plant pathogens based on the enriched CAZyme families (GH28, PL1, PL41).
• Functional annotation of fungal genes involved in metabolism, signal transduction, and protein processing as mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Chromosome-level assembly with 98.9% completeness, indicating a high-quality contiguous genome.
• Includes functional annotation for 11,737 protein-coding genes and comparative analyses with related species.
• Specific analysis of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) highlights enzymes associated with pectin degradation.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The primary data file is a DOCX document, which may require extraction or conversion for computational analysis.
