Rhizobium vitis strain VAT03-9 (MAFF 211676) is a causal agent of crown gall disease in grapevine. It is one of the pathogenic strains of R. vitis isolated from graft unions of grapevine in Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Inoculation tests verified its virulence for gall formation on grapevine, tomato, and sunflower. It harbors tumor-inducing plasmid. Here, we present the complete genome sequence with annotation of R. vitis VAR03-9 obtained by assembling reads from PacBio and Illumina-sequencers. This genome sequence should be useful for the analyses of pathogenicity and evolutionary lineage of the pathogens of crown gall disease.

葡萄根瘤菌菌株VAT03-9（MAFF 211676）是葡萄中冠gall病的病因。它是从日本冈山县的葡萄嫁接处分离出的葡萄球菌的致病菌株之一。接种测试证实了其在葡萄，番茄和向日葵上形成胆汁的毒性。它带有肿瘤诱导质粒。这里，我们提出的完整基因组序列与注释R.葡萄VAR03-9通过组装从PacBio和Illumina的定序器读取而获得。该基因组序列对于分析冠gall病病原体的致病性和进化谱系应该是有用的。
