Abstract
High-quality Illumina assemblies were produced from 284 Xanthomonas citri pv. citri pathotype A strains mostly originating from the Southwest Indian Ocean region, a subset of which was also sequenced using MinION technology. Some strains hosted chromosomally encoded transcription activator-like effector (TALE) genes, an atypical feature for this bacterium.
Highlights
Most citrus-producing areas currently face Asiatic citrus canker due to the dissemination of its causative agent, Xanthomonas citri pv. citri pathotype A (XccA), from its native area (Asia) (1)
