Abstract
The plant-pathogenic bacterium Dickeya dadantii causes quick decline in fruit trees (e.g., apple, Japanese pear, and peach). In this study, we report on the draft genome sequences of seven strains of D. dadantii that were isolated from fruit trees with typical quick decline symptoms in Japan.
Highlights
The plant-pathogenic bacterium Dickeya dadantii causes quick decline in fruit trees
The whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis indicated that the genome sizes of the seven strains were 4.7 to 4.9 Mbp, with GϩC contents of 56.1 to 56.4% (Table 1)
The genome size for this species was previously reported in the NCBI database as 4.7 to 5.0 Mbp, with GϩC contents of 56.3 to 56.5%, which supports the results of our WGS analysis
Summary
The plant-pathogenic bacterium Dickeya dadantii causes quick decline in fruit trees (e.g., apple, Japanese pear, and peach). The WGS analysis indicated that the genome sizes of the seven strains were 4.7 to 4.9 Mbp, with GϩC contents of 56.1 to 56.4% (Table 1). The genome size for this species was previously reported in the NCBI database as 4.7 to 5.0 Mbp, with GϩC contents of 56.3 to 56.5% (e.g., strains 3937 and DSM 18020 [GenBank accession numbers CP002038 and CP023467, respectively]), which supports the results of our WGS analysis.
