Abstract
Here we report draft-quality genome sequences for pathotype strains of eight plant-pathogenic bacterial pathovars: Xanthomonas campestris pv. asclepiadis, X. campestris pv. cannae, X. campestris pv. esculenti, X. campestris pv. nigromaculans,  X. campestris pv. parthenii, X. campestris pv. phormicola, and and X. campestris pv. zinniae. We also sequenced type strains of species X. melonis and X. dyei pv. eucalypti and unclassified Xanthomonas strain NCPPB 1067.  These data will be useful for phylogenomic and taxonomic studies, filling some important gaps in sequence coverage of the Xanthomonas phylogenetic diversity. We include representatives of previously un-sequenced pathovars and species-level clades. Furthermore, these genome sequences may be useful in elucidating the molecular basis for important phenotypes such as biosynthesis of coronatine-related toxins and degradation of fungal toxin cercosporin.
