Complete Genome of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina Strain A7 Isolated from Southern Chile

Abstract

The complete genome sequence of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina A7 was obtained by a hybrid approach combining Pacbio and Illumina HiSeq sequencing data. A single circular chromosome of 5.1 mb with 65.47% G+C content was obtained. We identified 4344 coding sequences and some genes involved in copper resistance. To our knowledge, the data presented herein is the first report of high-quality whole genome of X. arboricola pv. corylina, isolated from infected hazelnut trees in southern Chile.

Specific and sensitive detection tools for Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina, the causal agent of bacterial blight of hazelnut, developed with comparative genomics

“…The genomes and/or plasmids of several pathovars of X . arboricola , including Xac , have been sequenced ( Pothier et al., 2011b ; Pothier et al., 2011c ; Ibarra Caballero et al., 2013 ; Garita-Cambronero et al., 2014 ; Cesbron et al., 2015 ; Higuera et al., 2015 ; Ignatov et al., 2015 ; Garita-Cambronero et al., 2016a ; Garita-Cambronero et al., 2016b ; Garita-Cambronero et al., 2016c ; Harrison et al., 2016 ; López-Soriano et al., 2016 ; Garita-Cambronero et al., 2017 ; Retamales et al., 2017 ; Fernandes et al., 2018 ; Fu et al., 2018 ; Gétaz et al., 2018 ; Nuñez Cerda et al., 2021 ; Teixeira et al., 2021 ; Cuesta-Morrondo et al., 2022 ; D’Amico-Willman et al., 2022 ; Herbert et al., 2022 ; Kałużna and Pothier, 2022 ; Pothier et al., 2022 ). The available sequence data and the needs of the grower community and diagnostic laboratories prompted us to develop rapid, accurate and sensitive tools for the bacterial blight of hazelnut causal agent.…”
