Abstract
Compared to those of dicot-infecting bacteria, the available genome sequences of bacteria that infect wheat and barley are limited. Herein, we report the draft genome sequences of four pseudomonads originally isolated from these cereals. These genome sequences provide a useful resource for comparative analyses within the genus and for cross-kingdom analyses of plant pathogenesis.

Compared to those of dicot-infecting bacteria, the available genome sequences of bacteria that infect wheat and barley are limited
We report the genome sequences of four Pseudomonas spp. isolated from cereals in Australia to augment the availability of cereal-associated bacterial genomes for comparative analyses
The isolates Pseudomonas syringae BRIP 34876 and BRIP 34881 and Pseudomonas fluorescens BRIP 34879 were originally isolated from barley glumes showing rot symptoms in September 1971 near Warwick, Queensland, Australia
Summary
Compared to those of dicot-infecting bacteria, the available genome sequences of bacteria that infect wheat and barley are limited. Recent comparative genomics analyses of fungi have revealed the importance of cross-kingdom lateral gene transfers in the evolution of the virulence of eukaryotic microbes [1,2,3]. In some cases, the most similar sequences available in public repositories to the fungal genes are from plant-associated bacteria.
