Complete genome sequences of seven Ralstonia solanacearum phylotype IIB-4C/IIB-4E strains isolated from plantain trees in Ecuador

Key Points

• This research aims to identify genomic features of Ralstonia solanacearum strains associated with Moko disease.
• Isolation of seven strains from plantain trees in Ecuador
• Sequencing of complete genome genomes
• Analysis of megaplasmid contents
• Seven complete genome sequences from phylotype IIB-4C/IIB-4E strains were published
• Identification of a class D beta-lactamase gene in the megaplasmid
• Highlights the genetic basis for pathogenicity in Moko disease
