Complete genome sequence of the sugar beet endophyte Pseudomonas poae RE*1-1-14, a disease-suppressive bacterium

Abstract

The endophytic bacterium Pseudomonas poae RE*1-1-14 shows broad antagonistic activity and is applied to seeds as a biocontrol agent to suppress late root rot in the sugar beet. The completely sequenced 5.5-Mb genome reveals genes that putatively contribute to this antagonistic activity and the intimate plant-microbe interaction.
