Abstract
In this paper, we present the draft sequences of 18 genetically diverse Pseudomonas strains isolated from kiwifruit plants in New Zealand and overseas, including a number that are currently not fully characterized. These sequences will aid in the diagnosis of Pseudomonas on kiwifruit for future pest management and border security decision-making.

In this paper, we present the draft sequences of 18 genetically diverse Pseudomonas strains isolated from kiwifruit plants in New Zealand and overseas, including a number that are currently not fully characterized
We announce the draft genome sequences of 18 Pseudomonas strains isolated from kiwifruit plants, including isolates of P. syringae, P. viridiflava, P. marginalis, P. fluorescens, P. putida, and pseudomonads that are currently unassigned to a species (Pseudomonas sp.)
Among the strains assigned to a species, we present the genomes of 15 strains obtained from the International Collection of Microorganisms from Plants (ICMP), two strains from the Culture Collection of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria in Wageningen, the Netherlands (PD), and a strain held at the New Zealand Institute for Plant & Food Research (NZIPFR) culture collection
Summary
We present the draft sequences of 18 genetically diverse Pseudomonas strains isolated from kiwifruit plants in New Zealand and overseas, including a number that are currently not fully characterized. A recently emerged, highly virulent haplotype of Pseudomonas syringae pv. B. Visnovsky, unpublished data), yet an understanding of Pseudomonas diversity and how it may impact disease outbreaks on kiwifruit remains unknown.
