Abstract Objective Paracidovorax avenae (Pa) is the causative agent of red stripe disease in sugarcane and belongs to the Gram-negative β-Proteobacteria. Red stripe is a major bacterial disease of sugarcane worldwide. Limited genome sequences of Pa can be used for exploring the phylogenetic and genetic diversity analysis in this pathogen at the complete genome level. In this study, a whole genome sequence of Pa CNGX08 strain isolated from sugarcane in China was assembled and annotated. Data description Genome assembly data from second- and third-generation sequencing revealed that the entire genomic sequence of Pa CNGX08 strain causing red stripe in sugarcane, consisted of a 5,625,582 bp circular chromosome with a GC content of 68.97%. In total, 4,915 protein-coding genes were annotated. Additionally, 9 ribosomal RNAs and 52 transfer RNAs were identified. This genomic resource will facilitate the genome-based taxonomic classification of the genus Paracidovorax and the exploration of pathogenic mechanisms underlying sugarcane red stripe disease caused by Pa.
