Abstract
Shrub willow, Salix spp. and hybrids, is an important bioenergy crop. Here we report the whole-genome sequences and annotation of 13 endophytic bacteria from stem tissues of Salix purpurea grown in nature and from commercial cultivars and Salix viminalis × Salix miyabeana grown in bioenergy fields in Geneva, New York.
Highlights
Shrub willow, Salix spp. and hybrids, is an important bioenergy crop
Bioenergy produced from plant biomass as a feedstock has the potential to mitigate concerns regarding climate change and sustainability, among others [1]
Endophytes have been isolated from tissues of tree willows in nature [4], but it is unknown what role endophytes might play in shrub willows growing in intensively managed bioenergy fields
Summary
Salix spp. and hybrids, is an important bioenergy crop. Here we report the whole-genome sequences and annotation of 13 endophytic bacteria from stem tissues of Salix purpurea grown in nature and from commercial cultivars and Salix viminalis ؋ Salix miyabeana grown in bioenergy fields in Geneva, New York. Salix spp. and hybrids, is an attractive plant for bioenergy given its rapid growth and sustainable growth characteristics [2]. There have been numerous efforts regarding the development of shrub willow cultivars suitable for the production of bioenergy [3]. Endophytes have been isolated from tissues of tree willows in nature [4], but it is unknown what role endophytes might play in shrub willows growing in intensively managed bioenergy fields.
