Abstract

Sweet cherry virescence phytoplasma strain SCV-TA2020, a related strain of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma ziziphi', is a pathogen associated with sweet cherry virescence disease in China. Here, we provide the first-draft genome sequence of SCV-TA2020, which consists of 775,344 bases, with a GC content of 23.21%. This will provide a reference for understanding the host selection and diversity of host-specific symptoms of 16SrV-B subgroup phytoplasmas.

Keywords: cherry; elm yellows group; genome; phytoplasma; virescence; ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma ziziphi’.
