Abstract

Four isolates of Neofusicoccum parvum, collected from diseased hemp (Cannabis sativa) plants over a period of 2 years and shown to be pathogenic on C. sativa, were examined in this study. Their genome sizes ranged between 42.8 and 44.4 Mb, with 16,499 ± 72 predicted genes across the four isolates.

Keywords: Cannabis sativa; Neofusicoccum parvum; dieback; fungal pathogen; hemp.
