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 …

Members of the genus Pseudomonas inhabit a wide variety of environments, which is
reflected in their versatile metabolic capacity and broad potential for adaptation to fluctuating …

Closely related pathogens may differ dramatically in host range, but the molecular, genetic,
and evolutionary basis for these differences remains unclear. In many Gram-negative …

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 pv. actinidiae is the causal agent of bacterial canker of green‐
fleshed kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) and yellow‐fleshed kiwifruit (A. chinensis). A recent …

Many plant pathogens subvert host immunity by injecting compositionally diverse but
functionally similar repertoires of cytoplasmic effector proteins. The bacterial pathogen …

Abstract Background Some Pseudomonas strains function as predominant plant growth-
promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Within this group, Pseudomonas chlororaphis and …

Pathogenic bacteria interact not only with the host organism but most probably also with the
resident microbial flora. In the knot disease of the olive tree (Olea europaea), the causative …

A recent re-emerging bacterial canker disease incited by Pseudomonas syringae pv.
actinidiae (Psa) is causing severe economic losses to Actinidia chinensis and A. deliciosa …

There is an increasing interest in studying interspecies bacterial interactions in diseases of
animals and plants as it is believed that the great majority of bacteria found in nature live in …
