Genome Sequence Resources of Pseudomonas syringae Strains Isolated from Sweet Cherry Orchards in Chile

Bacterial canker is an important disease on cherry trees (Prunus avium L.), caused by species of the Pseudomonas syringae complex. This pathogen is commonly found in plant tissues, being present in several niches, on and within the host at various stages of the disease cycle. The pathogen has the ab...

Description
Summary:Bacterial canker is an important disease on cherry trees (Prunus avium L.), caused by species of the Pseudomonas syringae complex. This pathogen is commonly found in plant tissues, being present in several niches, on and within the host at various stages of the disease cycle. The pathogen has the ability to kill both young and older trees. With poor control, cherry tree losses of up to 40% in young plants and 10 to 20% in commercial orchards can be reached. This situation is critical in a country such as Chile, where the reported area planted with cherry production has risen to approximately 49,000 ha in 2021 (The Office of Agricultural Studies and Policies and The Natural Resources Information Center, Santiago, Chile), by far the most important producer and exporter from the Southern hemisphere.
