Abstract

Bacterial spot is an economically significant disease in tomato and pepper-producing countries globally. We report the whole-genome sequence of 11 Xanthomonas strains associated with bacterial spot disease on pepper, tomato and eggplant in the Southeastern Anatolia Region, Turkey. This genomic information can be used as a reference to study the genetic diversity of these species and contribute to illuminating pathogen evolution with respect to host specificity.

Keywords: Turkey; Xanthomonas; bacterial-spot; eggplant; pepper; tomato; whole-genome.

(d) Symptoms developed on artificially inoculated eggplant (cv. Black beauty) in the greenhouse. For the artificial inoculation, the bacterial suspension was adjusted to 105 c.f.u. ml–1 and infiltrated into the intercellular spaces of the leaf. The picture was taken at 11 days post-infiltration.
