“…in the family Periconiaceae (Tanaka et al, 2015). The Periconia genus was established in 1791 by Tode Ex Fries (Hyde et al, 2018), while the first record is dated back to a fossil preserved in the Baltic amber from the upper Eocene epoch (34)(35)(36)(37)(38) (Tischer et al, 2019). The genus comprises 211 species epithets in Index Fungorum (2022) with 25 of them having a new current name belonging to another genus.…”

The Periconia fungal genus belongs to the phylum Ascomycota, order Pleosporales, family Periconiaceae. Periconia are found in many habitats but little is known about their ecology. Several species from this genus produce bioactive molecules. Periconia digitata extracts were shown to be deadly active against the pine wilt nematode. Furthermore, P. digitata was shown to inhibit plant pathogenic oomycete Phytophthora parasitica. Because P. digitata has great potential as a biocontrol agent and high quality genomic resources are still lacking in the Periconiaceae family, we generated long-read genomic data for P. digitata. Using the PacBio Hifi sequencing technology, we obtained a highly-contiguous genome assembled in 13 chromosomes and totalling ca. 39 Mb. In addition, we produced a reference transcriptome, based on 12 different culture conditions, and proteomic data to support the genome annotation. Besides representing a new reference genome within the Periconiaceae, this work will contribute to our better understanding of the Eukaryotic tree of life and opens new possibilities in terms of biotechnological applications.
