Complete genome sequences of five <i>Variovorax</i> strains isolated from the <i>Populus</i> rhizosphere and endosphere

We report the complete genome sequences of five <i>Variovorax</i> strains isolated from the roots of <i>Populus</i> species in greenhouse and field settings. Genome sizes range from 7.44 to 7.71 Mbp and encode 6,077-6,879 predicted protein-coding genes. These genome assemblies expand the known genomic catalog of <i>Variovorax</i> in plant-associated environments.
