Abstract

We present two whole-genome sequences of Colletotrichum strains which were isolated from Eleusine indica and Echinochloa crus-galli using Nanopore and Illumina technologies, as part of screening for potential mycoherbicide. The genome sequences will provide important genetic information and will be useful for further research into secondary metabolites of Colletotrichum.
