Description: Ralstonia solanacearum ( R. sol) is a destructive bacterial plant pathogen and the causal agent of bacterial wilt in various crops, including tomatoes, blueberries, and eucalyptus. The type strain for this pathogen species is K60, isolated in North Carolina in 1953, and is one of two high-quality closed genomes for R. sol phylotype IIA strains in public databases. To enhance resources that support investigations into the genotypic diversity of R. sol in the United States, three complete, high-quality phylotype IIA R. sol genomes for strains isolated from tomatoes in North Carolina were generated using hybrid long- and short-read sequencing technologies. These new genomes have high and low CheckM scores for completeness and contamination, respectively, and provide valuable resources for studying R. sol evolution, epidemiology, and virulence, particularly in the context of U.S. pathogen populations.
