Pseudomonas tohonis strain:KRS022 Genome sequencing. Pseudomonas tohonis strain:KRS022

Previously, an antagonistic strain KRS022 was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of a healthy plant found in a pathogen-infested cotton field from Xinjiang, China, and found that it is antagonistic to various phytopathogenic fungi including Verticillium dahliae, Botryis cinerea, Fusarium spp., Colletotrichum spp., Magnaporthe oryzae, etc, by fermentation broth and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), It has the characteristics of siderophore production, phosphate and potassium solubilization, and nitrogen fixation, which suggested KRS022 may have the function of plant growth promotion. It can inhibit the conidia germination and hyphae growth of V. dahliae. In addition, KRS022 could protect plants from V. dahliae infection and also can trigger plant immunity by inducing systemic resistance (ISR). To further elucidate the taxonomic status, bioactive secondary metabolites synthesis-related gene clusters, plant growth promotion characteristics, or other resistant ability for biotic and abiotic stress of KRS022, we sequenced the complete genome of the isolate KRS022, which will provide the molecular basis for antagonistic mechanism or other any novel beneficial traits.
