  abstract = {{T}he {X}anthomonas translucens species comprises phytopathogenic bacteria that can cause serious damage to cereals and to forage grasses. {S}o far, the genomic resources for {X}. translucens were limited, which hindered further understanding of the host-pathogen interactions at the molecular level and the development of disease-resistant cultivars. {T}o this end, we complemented the available complete genome sequence of the {X}. translucens pv. translucens pathotype strain {DSM} 18974 by sequencing the genomes of all the other 10 {X}. translucens pathotype strains using {P}ac{B}io long-read technology and assembled complete genome sequences. {P}hylogeny based on average nucleotide identity ({ANI}) revealed three distinct clades within the species, which we propose to classify as clades {X}t-{I}, {X}t-{II}, and {X}t-{III}. {I}n addition to 2,181 core {X}. translucens genes, a total of 190, 588, and 168 genes were found to be exclusive to each clade, respectively. {M}oreover, 29 non-transcription activator-like effector ({TALE}) and 21 {TALE} type {III} effector classes were found, and clade- or strain-specific effectors were identified. {F}urther investigation of these genes could help to identify genes that are critically involved in pathogenicity and/or host adaptation, setting the grounds for the development of new resistant cultivars.},
