Genome analysis of reveals implications for soft rot pathogenicity in plants.

Soft rot disease causes devastating losses to crop plants all over the world, with up to 90% loss in tropical climates. To better understand this economically important disease, we isolated four soft rot-causing strains from rotted vegetables. Notably, has only recently been identified as a soft rot pathogen and a comprehensive genomic analysis and comparison has yet to be conducted.

Genome Sequences of Soft Rot-Causing Pseudomonas Isolates from Spinach.

Two Pseudomonas strains (SR17 and SR18) were isolated from soft rot-diseased spinach leaves. Here, we report their genome sequences and characteristics.

Genome Sequences of Soft Rot-Causing Isolates from Different Vegetables.

Eleven strains were isolated from soft rot-diseased vegetables. Here, we report their genome sequences and characteristics. Five isolates were found to be Pectobacterium versatile, while the other six were determined to be Pectobacterium brasiliense.
