Complete Genome Sequence Resource for Xanthomonas fragariae Causing Crown Infection Pockets in Strawberry
Xanthomonas fragariae (X. fragariae ) is a global quarantine pathogen, which typically inflicting angular leaf spots. In the present study, we report a new 4.11 Mb high-quality genome sequence of X. fragariae YL19. YL19 can make the strawberry plants have the typical angular leaf spot symptom and have crown infection pockets symptom in China. This new symptom has not been reported in other X. fragariae. Compared with typical X. fragariae strains, including PD885, NBC2815, PD5205, Fap21, and Fap29, the genome and plasmid in YL19 were smaller in size, which lacked 109 coding genes and has more CAZymes genes and secondary metabolism genes. The YL19 genome ought to clarify the molecular mechanisms of genome evolution, host adaptation, and pathological process of X. fragariae and the improvement of strawberry management strategies.
