    Abstract: An avirulent R. solanacearum strain named FJAT-1458 was isolated from living tomato vessel and it showed no toxicity to tomato, pepper and eggplant. Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) based on eight genes (egl, hrpB, mutS, pehA, recA, rpoA, rpoB and rpoC) and whole genome average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis suggested that strain FJAT-1458 b...
