Genomics-Enabled Novel Insight Into the Pathovar-Specific Population Structure of the Bacterial Leaf Streak Pathogen Xanthomonas translucens in Small Grain Cereals.

ABSTRACT: The Gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas translucens infects a wide range of gramineous plants with a notable impact on small grain cereals. However, genomics-informed intra-species population structure and virulence repertories of the pathogen have rarely been investigated. In this study, the complete genome sequences of seven X. translucens strains representing an entire set of genetic diversity of two pathovars X. translucens pv. undulosa and X. translucens pv. translucens is provided and compared with those of seven publicly available complete genomes of the pathogen. Organization of the 25 type III secretion system genes in all the 14 X. translucens strains was exactly the same, while TAL effector genes localized singly or in clusters ac
