Draft whole genome of <i>Bacillus velezensis</i> strain QA2 rhizobacterium isolated from quinoa ( <i>Chenopodium quinoa</i> Willd.)
We sequenced the draft whole genome of <i>Bacillus velezensis</i> strain QA2 isolated from the rhizosphere soil of quinoa in Morocco to identify genes associated with potential plant growth-promoting and stress tolerance traits. The annotated genome offers insight into its genetic potential for agricultural applications.
