Abstract The family Nectriaceae ( Hypocreales , Sordariomycetes ) includes saprobes, endophytes and numerous important pathogens, several of which are of high commercial interest. Presently there are numerous genera scattered throughout the Nectriaceae that have a fusarioid asexual morph ( i.e. , genera with fusarium-like macroconidia). Fusarioid fungi encompass diverse lifestyles, including plant, human, and animal pathogens or associates, saprobes, lichenicolous species, endophytes, and mycophilic taxa. The fusarioid genera in Nectriaceae do not only differ in their sexual morphs, but also in their asexual morphology and biology, although their ecology has remained rather unclear. While genome data are available for numerous species, this has been mostly focused on Fusarium sensu stricto, as the genus encompasses most of the economically important species in this generic complex. To compliment this, we expanded the sampling, and generated whole genome sequences for 40 isolates representing the genera Atractium , Bisifusarium , Cinnamomeonectria , Corinectria , Cosmospora , Cyanonectria , Cylindrodendrum , Dialonectria , Fusarium , Fusicolla , Geejayessia , Ilyonectria , Macroconia , Macronectria , Microcera , Neocosmospora , Neonectria , Pseudofusicolla , Rectifusarium , Rugonectria , Scolecofusarium , Thelonectria , and Tumenectria . Phylogenomic ancestral reconstructions showed that plant pathogenicity is most likely ancestral to Fusarium and cylindrocarpioid genera, and ...
