High quality genome resource of mango bacterial black spot pathogen Xanthomonas citri pv. mangiferaeindicae GXG07 isolated from Guangxi, China

Abstract

Xanthomonas citri pv. mangiferaeindicae (Xcm) is the causal agent of mango bacterial black spot which is present in many mango growing regions and leads to great economic losses to mango industry. Due to the limitation of high-quality genomic resources, little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of Xcm. Here, we used PacBio High Fidelity reads (HiFi) sequencing technology to sequence and analyze the whole genome of an Xcm strain GXG07 isolated from Guangxi, the largest mango growing region in China. PacBio HiFi reads with a mean coverage of 450× had been assembled into three contigs of 5,166,537, 79,634 and 30,169 bp, revealing that the genome of Xcm GXG07 contains one chromosome and two plasmids. This genome provides a resource to better understand the biology and pathogenicity of mango bacterial black spot.
