Complete genome sequences of three isolates of Xanthomonas fragariae, the Bacterium Responsible for angular leaf spots on strawberry plants

Abstract

Xanthomonas fragariae is a worldwide-spread plant bacterial disease causing angular leaf spots, thus reducing the yield of production for strawberry fruits. Three isolates with various geographic and time origins were sequenced with long-read technology (PacBio) to generate finished genome sequences of virulent strains and observe the variability in their contents.
