Many plant bacteriologists, if not all, feel that their particular microbe should appear in any
list of the most important bacterial plant pathogens. However, to our knowledge, no such list …

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) belonging to the group “fluorescent
pseudomonads” play very important role in sustainable agriculture. They are well known to …

The Pseudomonas syringae complex is composed of numerous genetic lineages of strains
from both agricultural and environmental habitats including habitats closely linked to the …

Pseudomonas syringae is a plant pathogen well known for its capacity to grow epiphytically
on diverse plants and for its ice-nucleation activity. The ensemble of its known biology and …

Diverse Gram-negative pathogens like Pseudomonas syringae employ type III secreted
effector (T3SE) proteins as primary virulence factors that combat host immunity and promote …

Biofilms are matrix‐enclosed communities that represent the most dominant and active
mode of microbial life on Earth. Because biofilms are inherently more productive than any …

A remarkable shift in our understanding of plant‐pathogenic bacteria is underway. Until
recently, nearly all research on phytopathogenic bacteria was focused on a small number of …

Pseudomonas syringae is an evolutionarily diverse bacterial species complex and a
preeminent model for the study of plant–pathogen interactions due in part to its remarkably …

The plant apoplast is the intercellular space that surrounds plant cells, in which metabolic
and physiological processes relating to cell wall biosynthesis, nutrient transport, and stress …

The description of the ecology of Pseudomonas syringae is moving away from that of a
ubiquitous epiphytic plant pathogen to one of a multifaceted bacterium sans frontières in …
