چکیده (انگلیسی):

tPseudomonas syringae pv. actinidifoliorum causes necrotic spots on the leaves of Actinidia deli-ciosa and Actinidia chinensis. P. syringae pv. actinidifoliorum has been detected in New Zealand,Australia, France and Spain. Four lineages were previously identified within the P. syringaepv. actinidifoliorum species group. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of five strainsof P. syringae pv. actinidifoliorum representative of lineages 1, 2 and 4, isolated in France. Thewhole genomes of strains isolated in New Zealand, representative of P. syringae pv. actinid-ifoliorum lineages 1 and 3, were previously sequenced. The availability of supplementary P.syringae pv. actinidifoliorum genome sequences will be useful for developing molecular toolsfor pathogen detection and for performing comparative genomic analyses to study the rela-tionship between P. syringae pv. actinidifoliorum and other kiwifruit pathogens, such as P.syringae pv. actinidiae.© 2016 Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia.
