Genome sequence resource for "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" strain GDCZ from a historical HLB endemic region in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

"Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas) is an un-culturable α-proteobacterium that caused citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), a destructive disease threatening citrus production worldwide. In China, the presence of HLB was first reported in Chaoshan region of Guangdong province, China around a century ago. Thus, whole genome information of CLas strains from Chaoshan area become the most important resource to understand the population diversity and evaluation of CLas in China.

Data description

CLas strain GDCZ was originally from Chaozhou city (Chaoshan area) and sequenced using PacBio Sequel long-read sequencing and Illumina short-read sequencing. The genome of strain GDCZ comprised of 1,230,507 bp with an average G + C content of 36.4%, along with a circular CLasMV1 p
