Leaf blight is commonly observed in rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) and can be caused by several fungal species. From October to December 2021, the emergence rubber tree disease was observed in Krabi province, southern Thailand. Small brown to dark brown spots developed on the leaves of rubber trees and later expanded into most parts of the leaves. Fungal isolates were isolated from infected tissues and a total of 15 Calonectria-like isolates were recovered from 10 infected leaf samples. Pathogenicity testing using the agar plug method revealed that four isolates caused leaf blight on rubber tree, similar to the situation in natural infections. Based on morphological study and the molecular properties of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), calmodulin (cal), translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α), and β-tubulin 2 (tub2) sequences, the four fungal isolates were identified as Calonectria foliicola. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of rubber trees pas a new host for C. foliicola in Thailand and elsewhere. This study reports on an emerging disease affecting rubber trees in Thailand, and the results are of benefit for the development of an appropriate method to manage this emerging disease in Thailand.

Picea asperata is an important native Chinese tree because of its economic and ecological values. As the wood texture of P. asperata is dense, detailed and elastic, the good wood can be used as building, furniture and musical instrument material (Dinulic et al., 2021;Keskin & Atar, 2011;Schuetze, 2018), and it has been reported that P. asperata has great value in paper making (Joelsson et al., 2020). P. asperata is widely used for ornamental and urban greening because of the beautiful figure and evergreen (Kul'kova et al., 2018). In addition, as one of the most important afforestation tree species in western China, it plays an important role in water conservation, soil conservation and ecosystems formation and maintenance in forest areas (Xiong et al., 2019; Yue et al., 2018). However, some pathogens have caused serious diseases in spruce and reduced the economic and ecological value of spruce. A recent report by Stępniewska et al. (2020) showed that Calonectria montana causes damping-off disease in spruce seedlings. An investigation by Swedjemark and Stenlid (1993) indicated that Heterobasidion annosum induced root rot of spruce. Wang et al. (2022) demonstrated that rust fungus Chrysomyxa unger (Coleosporiaceae, Pucciniales) is capable of causing spruce needle and cone rust, especially in spruce plantations and natural forests in northwestern and southwestern China, where needle disease has led to great economic losses.

Calonetria montana is an important soilborne fungal pathogen with a broad host range and causes serious diseases on forestry, agricultural, and horticultural plants. Here, we report a complete genome assembly of C. montana PCam007 (assembly: 59.3 Mb; contig N50: 6.36 Mb), using a combination of Illumina paired-end and Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing data. A total of 14,771 protein-coding genes and 477 noncoding RNAs were identified, among which 14,365 genes were annotated. Benchmarking universal single-copy orthology (BUSCO) analysis indicated that 98.50% of the BUSCOs were complete whereas 98.20, 0.40, and 0.10% were single copy, duplicated, and fragmented, respectively. The availability of this high-quality genome resource is expected to facilitate research on the evolution, host adaption, and pathogenicity of C. montana and to provide new insight into the infection mechanisms of C. montana and disease management.
