## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genomes of three Pantoea bacteria that help wheat grow, isolated from desert soils in China.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data for Pantoea strains with potential agricultural applications in arid environments.

## Key findings

- Three Pantoea strains were isolated from desert plant rhizosphere soils in western Inner Mongolia.
- The genomes were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq 6000, with an average size of 4,285,493 bp.
- The mean GC content of the genomes was 53.4%.

## Abstract

We report three draft genome sequences of wheat growth-promoting Pantoea spp. isolated from desert plant rhizosphere soils in western Inner Mongolia, China. Genomes were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq 6000, yielding an average genome size of 4,285,493 bp and a mean GC content of 53.4%.
