## Abstract

The first draft genome of X. bambusicola GMP-LS, the causal pathogen of the Root, and Basal Stem Rot disease in Sugarcane is presented based on single-molecule real-time PacBio sequencing. Xylaria genome (72.43 Mb) is predicted to encode 13,430 proteins and will contribute to molecular understanding of fungal pathogenesis.
