The filamentous fungus is a well-known cereal pathogen and is a pathogen with a wide host range. Recently, both species were reported as causal agents of apple rot, raising concerns about postharvest yield losses and mycotoxin contamination. Here, we report genome assemblies of KA13 and TaB10, both isolated from fruits with symptoms of apple rot. The final KA13 genome sequence assembly of 41.7 Mb consists of 34 scaffolds, with an N value of 2.2 Mb and 15,886 predicted genes. The total size of the final TaB10 assembly is 36.76 Mb, consisting of 54 scaffolds with an N value of 1.7 Mb, and it consists of 14,132 predicted genes. These new genomes provide valuable resources to better understand plant-microbe interaction in stored apple rot disease. [Formula: see text] Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).
