whole genome Sequencing of Ralstonia solanacearum bacteria from Sub-Saharan Africa

Ralstonia solanacearum is classified as one of the world's most important phytopathogenic bacteria due to its lethality, persistence, wide host range, and broad geographic distribution. Although the pathogen causes major yield losses in the tropics and subtropics, it is currently a continuing threat in temperate climates.project goal through WGS is:-Understand R.s effector distribution in SSA-comparative genomic analysis and evolutionary features.
