Erwinia papayae strain:JGD 233 Genome sequencing. Erwinia papayae strain:JGD 233

Erwinia papayae is a bacterial plant pathogen that causes mushy canker disease on Carica papaya (papaya). Isolated on diseased papaya tissue on Guam, this pathogen has been presumed to cause severe papaya crop loss over the past 40 years. Genomic data will aid in understanding virulence pathways and the development of management strategies.
