AI Article Synopsis
- Ralstonia solanacearum causes bacterial wilt in plants and has many distinct strains.
- The study presents the genome sequence of strain Y45, isolated from tobacco in China.
- This strain has 794 unique genes and several genetic rearrangements compared to other strains, highlighting its significance in the R. solanacearum species complex.
Article Abstract
Ralstonia solanacearum is a causal agent of plant bacterial wilt with thousands of distinct strains in a heterogeneous species complex. Here we report the genome sequence of a phylotype IB strain, Y45, isolated from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) in China. Compared with the published genomes of eight strains which were isolated from other hosts and habitats, 794 specific genes and many rearrangements/inversion events were identified in the tobacco strain, demonstrating that this strain represents an important node within the R. solanacearum complex.
