title: Draft Genome Sequences of 18 Strains of Pseudomonas Isolated from Kiwifruit Plants in New Zealand and Overseas.
abstract: In this paper, we present the draft sequences of 18 genetically diversePseudomonasstrains isolated from kiwifruit plants in New Zealand and overseas, including a number that are currently not fully characterized. These sequences will aid in the diagnosis ofPseudomonason kiwifruit for future pest management and border security decision-making.
