Phytoplasmas are bacterial plant pathogens with devastating impact on agricultural production worldwide. In eastern Africa, Napier grass stunt disease causes serious economic losses in the smallholder dairy industry. This draft genome sequence of " ITALIC! CandidatusPhytoplasma oryzae" strain Mbita1 provides insight into its genomic organization and the molecular basis of pathogenicity.
植原体是一类细菌型植物病原体,对全球农业生产造成毁灭性影响。在东非,象草矮化病给小农户乳制品行业带来了严重的经济损失。“嗜铁假单胞菌稻黄单胞菌”菌株姆比塔1的基因组序列草图为深入了解其基因组结构和致病分子基础提供了线索。
