Abstract
Phytophthora rubi and P. fragariae are two closely related oomycete plant pathogens that exhibit strong morphological and physiological similarities, but are specialized to infect different hosts of economic importance, namely raspberry and strawberry. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of these two Phytophthora species as a first step towards understanding the genomic processes underlying plant host adaptation in these pathogens.
