Genome Sequence of Phytomonas fran?ai, a Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Latex Parasite

摘要

Here, we report the genome sequence of the cassava (Manihot esculenta) latex parasite Phytomonas fran?ai. P.?fran?ai infection is linked with the yield-loss disease “chochamento de raizes” (empty roots) in the Unha variety of cassava, a disease characterized by poor root development and chlorosis of the leaves.
