Draft Genome Sequences of Nine Japanese Strains of the Kiwifruit Bacterial Canker Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae Biovar 3

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae is the pathogen that causes kiwifruit bacterial canker and is categorized into several groups (biovars). In Japan, biovar 3, known as the pandemic group, was first discovered in 2014. Here, we sequenced the genomes of nine Japanese biovar 3 strains.
