Complete genome and plasmid sequence data of three Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina, the bacterium responsible for bacterial blight of hazelnut

Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina is the causal agent of bacterial blight of hazelnut. The bacterium is listed as A2 quarantine pathogen in Europe since 1978 and on the Regulated Non-Quarantine Pest (RNQP) list since 2020. Three isolates with various geographic and time origins were sequenced using a hybrid approach with short- and long-read technologies to generate closed genome and plasmid sequences in order to better understand the biology of this pathogen.
