Genomic Resources for <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp. Isolated from Olive Knots and Almond Galls in the West Bank, Palestine

Olive (Olea europaea L.) and almond (Prunus amygdalus) are cornerstone crops in the West Bank, Palestine, where bacterial gall diseases threaten yield and long-term productivity. To expand genomic resources for Pseudomonas associated with these hosts, we generated seven complete, chromosome-level genomes from Pseudomonas strains isolated from olive knots and almond galls in the West Bank. These assemblies comprise five Pseudomonas amygdali genomes from olive and two Pseudomonas ogarae genomes from almond, produced using a hybrid long- and short-read sequencing strategy and exhibiting high completeness with low contamination. These genomes constitute the first publicly available, chromosome level genomes for Pseudomonas associated with olive and almond in the West Bank and provide a critical resource for studies of evolution, epidemiology, virulence, and plant growth–promoting traits in Mediterranean tree crops.

Abstract

Olive (Olea europaea L.) and almond (Prunus amygdalus) are cornerstone crops in the West Bank, Palestine, where bacterial gall diseases threaten yield and long-term productivity. To expand genomic resources for Pseudomonas associated with these hosts, we generated seven complete, chromosome-level genomes from Pseudomonas strains isolated from olive knots and almond galls in the West Bank. These assemblies comprise five Pseudomonas amygdali genomes from olive and two Pseudomonas ogarae genomes from almond, produced using a hybrid long- and short-read sequencing strategy and exhibiting high completeness with low contamination. These genomes constitute the first publicly available, chromosome level genomes for Pseudomonas associated with olive and almond in the West Bank and provide a critical resource for studies of evolution, epidemiology, virulence, and plant growth–promoting traits in Mediterranean tree crops.
