• Canola is one of the most profitable crops available to grain growers in southern and western Australia and rotations have been adapted to accommodate it. • Canola provides large yield benefits to subsequent cereal crops by providing an effective disease break. • Canola was often grown as the first crop after pasture but now canola is often used more intensively in rotations, posing problems ...

Blackleg disease caused by the heterothallic ascomycete fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. et de Not. (anamorph: Phoma lingam Tode ex Fr.), is the major disease of Brassica crops such as turnip rape (Brassica rapa L. syn. B. campestris; 2n = 2x = 20, genome AA), cabbage (B. oleracea L.; 2n = 2x = 18, genome CC), rapeseed (syn. canola or oilseed rape B. napus L.; 2n = 4x = 38, genome AAC...

New Guinea impatiens (NGI, Impatiens hawkeri) are popular bedding plants that can be affected by a number of pathogens. Using 16S rDNA sequencing and genus-specific PCR, we identified the first Dickeya dianthicola strain isolated from NGI presented with blackleg symptoms, herein designated as D. 67-19. Here, report high-quality complete annotated genome sequence The 4,851,809 bp was assembled N...
