Abstract
We report a draft genome sequence of Dickeya zeae strain MS1, which is the causative agent of banana soft rot in China, and we show several of its specific properties compared with those of other D. zeae strains. Genome sequencing provides a tool for understanding the genomic determination of the pathogenicity and phylogeny placement of this pathogen.

Dickeya zeae MS1 is the causative agent of soft rot disease in bananas
Automated gene findings were made with Glimmer [4], and functional annotation was performed by means of similarity searches against the GO [5], COGs [6] and KEGG [7] databases
Summary
We report a draft genome sequence of Dickeya zeae strain MS1, which is the causative agent of banana soft rot in China, and we show several of its specific properties compared with those of other D. zeae strains. Dickeya zeae MS1 is the causative agent of soft rot disease in bananas. It was first found in China by Lin et al in 2009 [1] and has since become a major pathogen affecting the banana industry.
