Complete Genome Sequence of Spiroplasma citri Strain R8-A2T, Causal Agent of Stubborn Disease in Citrus Species.

ABSTRACT: Spiroplasma citri causes stubborn disease in Citrus spp. and diseases in other plants. Here, we report the nucleotide sequence of the 1,599,709-bp circular chromosome and two plasmids of S. citri strain R8-A2T This information will facilitate analyses to understand spiroplasmal pathogenicity and evolutionary adaptations to lifestyles in plants and arthropod hosts.
