  abstract = {{T}he bacterial plant pathogen {X}anthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is responsible for the foliar rice bacterial blight disease. {G}enetically contrasted, continent-specific, sublineages of this species can cause important damages to rice production both in {A}sia and {A}frica. {W}e report on the genome of the {CIX}2779 strain of this pathogen, previously named {NAI}1 and originating from {N}iger. {O}xford {N}anopore long reads assembly and {I}llumina short reads polishing produced a genome sequence composed of a 4,725,792-bp circular chromosome and a 39,798-bp-long circular plasmid designated p{CIX}2779_1. {T}he chromosome structure and base-level sequence are highly related to reference strains of {A}frican {X}. oryzae pv. oryzae and encode identical transcription activator-like effectors for virulence. {I}mportantly, our in silico analysis strongly indicates that p{CIX}2779_1 is a genuine conjugative plasmid, the first indigenous one sequenced from an {A}frican strain of the {X}. oryzae species.},
