Abstract

Bacterial leaf blight, one of the most destructive diseases of rice, is prevalent in the major rice-growing regions of the world. Bacterial leaf blight is caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ( Xoo) and greatly affects the quantity and quality of the rice crop. We sequenced the whole genome of Xoo isolated from a Basmati rice-growing region of Pakistan using long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology. About 637 MB of data was retrieved, corresponding to 133× genome sequencing coverage. The final assembly yields a circular chromosome of 4,930,682 bp. The complete genome of the Xoo isolate from Pakistan will enhance sequence resources for global comparison of Xoo diversity across the region. [Formula: see text] Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).
