Figure 3From: EDGAR: A software framework for the comparative analysis of prokaryotic genomesPhylogenetic tree of Xanthomonas strains. Phylogenetic tree of the Xanthomonas chromosomes currently available in public databases. Based on the core genome of 2,156 CDS the divergence of these plant-pathogenic bacteria was quantified with the recently annotated Xcc B100 employed as reference to construct the tree. The Xcc genomes and Xca cluster closely together, and are linked by a common branch to the remaining Xanthomonads. Here Xca and Xcv diverge from the X. oryzae chromosomes. Among these rice pathogens Xoc forms a first side branch, while the Xoo genomes cluster together.Back to article page
