Ralstonia solanacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt and brown rot disease, is one of the major pathogens of solanaceous crops, including potato, around the globe. Biovar 2T (phylotype II/sequevar 25) of R. solanacearum is adapted to tropical lowlands and is only reported in South America and Iran. Thus far, no genome resource of the biovar 2T of the pathogen has been available. Here, we present the near-complete genome sequences of the biovar 2T strain CFBP 8697 as well as strain CFBP 8695 belonging to biovar 2 race 3, both isolated from potato in Iran. The genomic data of biovar 2T will extend our understanding of the virulence features of R. solanacearum and pave the way for research on biovar 2T functional and interaction genetics.

从伊朗低地分离的两种马铃薯菌株Ralstonia solanacearum Biovar 2（型IIB Sequevar 1）和Biovar 2T（型IIB Sequevar 25）的基因组资源。

青枯雷尔氏菌是细菌性枯萎和褐腐病的病原体，是全球茄类作物（包括马铃薯）的主要病原体之一。青枯菌的Biovar 2T（系统型II /后代25）适合热带低地，仅在南美和伊朗有报道。迄今为止，尚无病原体biovar 2T的基因组资源。在这里，我们介绍了biovar 2T菌株CFBP 8697以及属于biovar 2第3种族的CFBP 8695菌株的近乎完整的基因组序列，均从伊朗的马铃薯中分离出来。biovar 2T的基因组数据将拓宽我们对茄形假单胞菌毒力特征的了解，并为研究biovar 2T功能和相互作用遗传学铺平道路。
