Genomic Resources for Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola Races 5 and 8.

Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola causes halo blight disease on Phaseolus vulgaris. Using a long-read DNA sequencing platform, we assembled the genome sequences for P. savastanoi pv. phaseolicola races 5 and 8 that have distinguishable avirulent and virulent phenotypes on Phaseolus vulgaris PI G19833, a common bean with an annotated genome sequence. The 12 race 5 assemblies comprise two major 4.5 and 1.4 Mb chromosome-like contigs and 10 smaller contigs. The four race 8 assemblies comprise a major 6.1 Mb chromosome and three smaller contigs. Annotation yielded 5,890 genes for race 5 and 5,919 genes for race 8. These data will enable the discovery of the genetic and proteomic differences between these two races and allow comparisons to other races for which genomic information already exists.
