Nigrospora sphaerica is a worldwide plant pathogen causing fruit or leaf diseases on a variety of plant hosts such as Citrullus lanatus, Vigna unguiculata, Hylocereus polyrhizus, and Akebia trifoliata and other potential hosts. Here we report the first genome resource with high-quality assembly of the N. sphaerica strain ZJJ-C1, which causes fruit dried-shrink disease in A. trifoliata in China. The genome sequence of ZJJ-C1 will be useful for studying the evolution, host adaptation, and pathogenicity of N. sphaerica, which will be beneficial for a better understanding of the mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction during the endophytic period.
