Description
Summary:The phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola causes rice bacterial leaf streak (BLS), an emerging and destructive disease in rice growing regions of Asia and Africa. BLS was first reported in the Philippines in 1918. The earliest documented occurrence of BLS in China was in 1953 in the Guangdong and Guangxi provinces of South China, the region where double-cropping of rice is most prevalent. Although complete genome sequences of some X. oryzae pv. oryzicola isolates are publicly available, none are from strains isolated in South China. Niu et al previously isolated X. oryzae pv. oryzicola GX01, which carries a plasmid, from South China and here they report the complete genome sequence of GX01, generated using PacBio long-read technology. X. oryzae pv. oryzicola is a plant-pathogenic bacterium that causes bacterial leaf streak (BLS) in rice and some Oryzeae weeds.
