Stemphylium leaf blight caused by Stemphylium vesicarium was recently identified as an emerging disease and dominant in the foliar disease complex affecting onion in New York. Here, we report the genomes of two isolates of S. vesicarium, On16-63 and On16-391. The availability of the genomes will accelerate genomic studies of S. vesicarium, including population biology, sexual reproduction, and fungicide resistance. Additionally, comparative genomics with the other published genome of S. vesicarium causing brown spot of pear will help understand pathogen biology and underpin the development of management strategies for this disease.
