Complete genome and plasmid sequence data of three strains of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina, the bacterium responsible for bacterial blight of hazelnut
Phytopathology 112 (4), 956-960
Abstract: Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina is the causal agent of bacterial blight of hazelnut. The bacterium has been listed as an A2 quarantine pathogen in Europe since 1978 and on the regulated non-quarantine pest list since 2019. Three isolates from various geographic regions and isolated at different times were sequenced using a hybrid approach with short- and long-read technologies to generate closed genome and plasmid sequences in order to better understand the biology of this pathogen.
