  abstract = {{X}anthomonas theicola is the causal agent of bacterial canker on tea plants. {T}here is no complete genome sequence available for {X}. theicola, a close relative of the species {X}. translucens and {X}. hyacinthi, thus limiting basic research for this group of pathogens. {H}ere, we release a high-quality complete genome sequence for the {X}. theicola type strain, {CFBP} 4691{T}. {S}ingle-molecule real-time sequencing with a mean coverage of 264x revealed two contigs of 4,744,641 bp (chromosome) and 40,955 bp (plasmid) in size. {G}enome mining revealed the presence of nonribosomal peptide synthases, two {CRISPR} systems, the {X}ps type 2 secretion system, and the {H}rp type 3 secretion system. {S}urprisingly, this strain encodes an additional type 2 secretion system and a novel type 3 secretion system with enigmatic function, hitherto undescribed for xanthomonads. {F}our type 3 effector genes were found on complete or partial transposons, suggesting a role of transposons in effector gene evolution and spread. {T}his genome sequence fills an important gap to better understand the biology and evolution of the early-branching xanthomonads, also known as clade-1 xanthomonads.},
