Abstract Colletotrichum fructicola , one of the dominant pathogens isolated from main tea region in China, causes leaf spot mature leaves plants, affecting their growth and yield. Here, we present draft whole‐genome sequence C . strain SX‐6 previously used for morphological transcriptomic analyses. The assembly consists 510 contigs with an estimated genome size 56.8 Mb. A total 15,243 predicted protein‐coding genes were annotated using NR, Swiss‐Prot, KEGG, KOG, TCDB, GO, PHI, DFVF, P450, SignalP CAZy databases. We identified 833 carbohydrate‐active enzymes, 1803 secreted proteins, 79 secondary metabolite gene clusters 576 fungal virulence factors that may be involved pathogenicity this fungus. Comparative analyses 25 species revealed evolutionary relationships via a constructed phylogenetic tree four families whose significantly more abundant SX‐6. resulting will provide valuable resource further research on functions
