Genome sequencing of Xanthomonas fragariae

Xanthomonas fragariae is a bacterial pathogen that causes strawberry angular leaf spot disease, which is characterized by the appearance of angular or V-shaped water-soaked lesions on the leaves of strawberry plants. These lesions may turn brown or dark red as the disease progresses. The bacteria are typically spread through splashing water, wind, or contaminated tools and equipment. The infection can lead to reduced plant vigor, stunted growth, and yield losses in strawberry crops.
