Abstract

Xanthomonas citri pv. citri is the causative agent of citrus canker, one of the most devastating diseases threatening global citrus production. Here, we present the genome sequence of X. citri pv. citri strain GD82 from a formalin-fixed citrus leaf specimen showing canker lesions collected in 1982 in Guangdong Province, China. The GD82 genome consisted of 5,197,217 bp with G+C content of 64.8%, along with four circular plasmids: pXAC33 (32,377 bp), pXAC64 (63,972 bp), pXAC47 (47,810 bp), and pGD82.1 (219,560 bp). This is the oldest X. citri pv. citri genome from historical citrus canker specimens in China, which will enrich the current X. citri pv. citri genome database and facilitate genomic evolution research of X. citri pv. citri.

Keywords: Xanthomonas citri pv. citri; citrus canker; formalin-fixed specimen; genome sequencing; historical specimen.
