Description
Bacterial wilt, caused by the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC), is one of the most destructive diseases of potato in sub-tropical regions. This study reports the whole-genome shotgun sequences of eight RSSC strains, isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), Pelargonium, Capsicum annuum, Nicotiana tabacum, symptomatic for bacterial wilt in Sub-Saharan Africa. Sequencing was done on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 and genomic sequences were deposited in NCBI GenBank under the BioProject PRJNA1070535. R. solanacearum strains were assembled into between 84 and 147 contigs with total genome sizes of between 5.23 Mb and 5.62 Mb in length and GC content between 66.49% and 67.08%. These data will provide a useful resource for future studies into RSSC and associated diseases of important crop plants.
Notes (English)
The sequencing of the bacterial strains was supported by GetGenome and The Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK, with contributions from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, the Biotechnology, Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and The University of East Anglia.
