Abstract
Dickeya dianthicola and “Dickeya solani” are currently the dominant bacterial pathogens of potatoes in Europe. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of four strains of each pathogen.

Dickeya dianthicola and “Dickeya solani” are currently the dominant bacterial pathogens of potatoes in Europe
Enterobacterial plant pathogens belonging to the Dickeya genus cause disease worldwide in a wide range of plant species, including crops [1]
In addition to the five assigned Dickeya species, several isolates were identified that formed distinct clades, e.g., DUC-1, DUC-2, DUC-3, SLC-1, and SLC-2, which may represent previously unidentified species
Summary
Dickeya dianthicola and “Dickeya solani” are currently the dominant bacterial pathogens of potatoes in Europe. Enterobacterial plant pathogens belonging to the Dickeya genus (previously Erwinia chrysanthemi) cause disease worldwide in a wide range of plant species, including crops [1]. The Dickeya genus is currently considered to comprise 5 species: Dickeya dianthicola, Dickeya dadantii, Dickeya zeae, Dickeya chrysanthemi, and Dickeya paradisiaca [2, 3].
