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 …

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 …

Background Pseudomonas syringae is a highly diverse bacterial species complex capable
of causing a wide range of serious diseases on numerous agronomically important crops …

The plant pathogenic Pseudomonas syringae species complex (Pssc) causes diseases of
hundreds of species of monocots, herbaceous dicots and woody dicots worldwide. On …

As the name of the genus Pantoea (“of all sorts and sources”) suggests, this genus includes
bacteria with a wide range of provenances, including plants, animals, soils, components of …

Many bacterial pathogens are well characterized but, in some cases, little is known about
the populations from which they emerged. This limits understanding of the molecular …

Erwinia amylovora is a destructive pathogen of Rosaceous plants and an economic concern
worldwide. Herein, we report 93 new E. amylovora genomes from North America, Europe …

Crop diseases emerge without warning. In many cases, diseases cross borders, or even
oceans, before plant pathologists have time to identify and characterize the causative …

While the existence of environmental reservoirs of human pathogens is well established,
less is known about the role of nonagricultural environments in emergence, evolution, and …

Knowing the identity of bacterial plant pathogens is essential to strategic and sustainable
disease management in agricultural systems. This knowledge is critical for growers …
