Abstract
‘Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum’ is associated with European stone fruit yellows disease, affecting wild and cultivated species of Prunus at different degrees of susceptibility, so far being mainly restricted to Europe. Here, we report draft genome sequences for ‘Ca. Phytoplasma prunorum’ strains ESFY1 and LNS1, which represent the first available for this species. Strain ESFY1 is the causal agent of the European stone fruit yellows disease of Prunus persica in Germany and LNS1, leptonecrosis
