Pangenome Analysis Uncovers Two Pathotypes of Dickeya dadantii, the Causal Agent of Sweetpotato Stem Rot, and Identifies Virulence-Associated Genes.
The first comprehensive pangenome of D. dadantii is constructed by integrating complete PacBio HiFi sequencing of a representative strain with resequencing of 32 Chinese isolates and 23 global strains, revealing that geographic isolation and host adaptation drive genetic differentiation.
