title: Phytopathogen Genome Announcement: Draft Genome Sequences of 62 Pseudomonas syringae Type and Pathotype Strains.
abstract: Pseudomonas syringae is a diverse species-complex that includes many important crop pathogens. Here, we report the draft genomes of 62 type and pathotype strains, which provide a genomic reference for the diversity of this species complex and will contribute to the elucidation of the genomic basis of pathogenicity and host specificity.
