Glomerella graminicola (anamorph Colletotrichum graminicola) is the major cause of 'stalk rot of cereals' or 'anthracnose' in maize. Some varieties of engineered maize seem more susceptible to infection resulting in increasing economic concerns. The Glomerella graminicola (strain M1.001) genome was generated and assembled by Broad Institute of MIT and released in September 2010 consisting of a whole-genome shotgun assembly with a size of 51.6 Mb. The assembly and protein coding gene annotation of the Glomerella graminicola genome was imported from the annotation submitted to EMBL-Bank as the WGS project ACOD00000000. Funding for the assembly and annotation was provided by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the NSF/USDA Microbial Genome Sequencing Program.
