Draft genome sequence of Xanthomonas arboricola strain 3004, a causal agent of bacterial disease on barley

We report here the annotated genome sequence of Xanthomonas arboricola strain 3004, isolated from barley leaves with symptoms of streak and capable of infecting other plant species. We sequenced the genome of X. arboricola strain 3004 to improve the understanding of molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis and evolution of the genus Xanthomonas. © 2015 Ignatov et al.
