The fungal genus Ophiostoma contains numerous species that share close associations with wood-boring insects, a relationship with important consequences for global biosecurity. Here, we provide draft genomes for three Ophiostoma species within the well-known Ophiostoma ulmi complex. These resources are valuable for future research efforts related to Ophiostoma and the establishment of biosecurity-focused databases.

Funding

We thank the iMapPESTS project, supported by Horticulture Innovation Australia (grant ST16010) through funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture as part of its Rural R&D for Profit program, with funding from 16 partner organizations, including Forest and Wood Products Australia. C.T. is supported through a La Trobe University Postgraduate Research Scholarship and a La Trobe University Full Fee Research Scholarship at La Trobe University (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia). The funding organizations had no role in the study design, data analysis and interpretation, or writing the manuscript.
