Abstract
Xanthomonas vesicatoria causes bacterial spot disease of pepper and tomato plants. We report here the first genome sequences of X. vesicatoria strains that have been isolated from pepper plants. These data will be used for comparative genomics and will allow the development of new detection and typing tools for epidemiological surveillance.
Highlights
Xanthomonas vesicatoria causes bacterial spot disease of pepper and tomato plants
Bacterial spot disease is present worldwide where environmental conditions are suitable for the pathogen
In order to develop new molecular markers for epidemiological surveillance, such as variablenumber tandem repeats (VNTR) [7], we sequenced the genomes of two strains from the Balkan Peninsula
Summary
Xanthomonas vesicatoria causes bacterial spot disease of pepper and tomato plants. We report here the first genome sequences of X. vesicatoria strains that have been isolated from pepper plants. Xanthomonas vesicatoria is one of the causal agents of bacterial spot disease on pepper and tomato plants [1]. Bacterial spot disease is present worldwide where environmental conditions are suitable for the pathogen.
