Complete genome sequence resource of a strain of curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, the causal agent of bacterial wilt of common bean, from Turkey

Abstract

Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens is the causal agent of bacterial wilt of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), a disease that can reduce yields of this economically important crop worldwide. Current genomics resources for this bacterial pathogen are limited. Therefore, long-read sequencing was used to determine the complete genome sequence of a pathogenic C. flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens strain isolated from common bean leaves showing irregular necrotic lesions with yellow borders collected in a commercial field in Turkey in 2015.
