Genome sequences of the race 1 and race 4 Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris strains CFBP 1869 and CFBP 5817

Abstract

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is the causal agent of black rot on Brassicaceae. The draft genome sequences of strains CFBP 1869 and CFBP 5817 have been determined and are the first ones corresponding to race 1 and race 4 strains, which have a predominant agronomic and economic impact on cabbage cultures worldwide.
