Draft Genome Sequence of <i>Xylella fastidiosa</i> subsp. <i>fastidiosa</i> Strain Stag's Leap

Abstract

ITALIC! Xylella fastidiosasubsp. ITALIC! fastidiosacauses Pierce's disease of grapevine. Presented here is the draft genome sequence of the Stag's Leap strain, previously used in pathogenicity/virulence assays to evaluate grapevine germplasm bearing Pierce's disease resistance and a phenotypic assessment of knockout mutants to determine gene function.
