Abstract
Ralstonia solanacearum strain Rs-T02 was originally isolated from a bacterial wilt of tomato plant in Nanning City of Guangxi Province, China. It represents the most prevalent phylotype in Guangxi. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of this strain, which comprises 5,225 genes and 5,976,011 nucleotides with an average G+C content of 66.79%. There are 968 different genes between this isolate and the previously reported genome sequence of Ralstonia solanacearum GMl l000 (race l, biovar 3, phylotype I), and the genome sequence information of this isolate may be useful for comparative genomic studies to determine the genetic diversity in this species.

Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al is a soilborne bacterial pathogen that is a major limiting factor in the production of many crop plants around the world. This organism is the causal agent of brown rot of potato; bacterial wilt or southern wilt of tomato, tobacco, eggplant, and some ornamentals; and Moko disease of banana [1]
The specific host ranges and distributions of Ralstonia solanacearum depend on the race and to some degree the biovar of the pathogen
Summary
Ralstonia solanacearum strain Rs-T02 was originally isolated from a bacterial wilt of tomato plant in Nanning City of Guangxi Province, China. Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al (formerly called Pseudomonas solanacearum) is a soilborne bacterial pathogen that is a major limiting factor in the production of many crop plants around the world. Ralstonia solanacearum is a widely distributed pathogen found in tropical, subtropical, and some temperate regions of the world [2]. The species as a whole has a very broad host range and infects hundreds of species in many plant families.
