Draft Genome Sequences of 27 Rhizogenic Agrobacterium Biovar 1 Strains, the Causative Agent of Hairy Root Disease

Rhizogenic Agrobacterium biovar 1 strains are important plant pathogens that cause hairy root disease in Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae crops cultivated under hydroponic conditions. In contrast to tumorigenic agrobacteria, only a few genome sequences of rhizogenic agrobacteria are currently available. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 27 rhizogenic Agrobacterium strains.
