Abstract

We present here the draft genome sequences of 14 Pseudomonas strains isolated from Prunus sp. plants in New Zealand and overseas. These new genomic data will be used to improve the detection of Pseudomonas strains found in imported plant material at the New Zealand border, improving the time involved in the process of biosecurity decision-making.
