Abstract

The complete genome of "Candidatus Phytoplasma solani" GOE was obtained from the infected vector Pentastiridius leporinus by single-molecule real-time sequencing. This 16SrXII-P phytoplasma is associated with the economically important sugar beet disease "syndrome basses richesses." The genome sequence is an essential resource for diagnosis and understanding pathogen-host interaction.

Keywords: 16SrXII-P phytoplasma; syndrome basses richesses; virulence factors.
