Abstract
Crown gall disease in grapevine is caused by pathogenic strains of Allorhizobium vitis. A. vitis strain F2/5 is a non-pathogenic biocontrol agent that was previously shown to act as a biological control agent to crown gall disease and first isolated from South Africa. Here, we present the complete assembled genome and is 5.94 Mb in length with 5,414 predicted protein-coding sequences, has two circular chromosomes and five plasmids. The genome sequence has no detectable T-DNA border sequences and is missing key virulence genes which is consistent with the bacteria being non-pathogenic. The F2/5 genome sequence could contribute to understanding the molecular basis underlying the biocontrol activity.
