during the years 2007 and 2008, samples of winter jasmine (jasminum nudiflorum) with symptoms of galls on shoots were collected from shiraz, fars province, iran. gram and oxidase negative, aerobic bacterium that produced fluorescent pigment on kingۥs b medium was isolated from galls of infected trees. all isolates produced a hypersensitive reaction in tobacco. they were negative in arginine dih...

We report the nucleotide sequences of iaaM and iaaH, the genetic determinants for, respectively, tryptophan 2-monooxygenase and indoleacetamide hydrolase, the enzymes that catalyze the conversion of L-tryptophan to indoleacetic acid in the tumor-forming bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi. The sequence analysis indicates that the iaaM locus contains an open reading frame encoding 557 ...

ABSTRACT In 1980, over 90% of all plant-pathogenic pseudomonads and xanthomonads were lumped into Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas campestris, respectively, as pathovars. The term "pathovar" was created to preserve the name of plant pathogens, but has no official standing in nomenclature. Proposals to elevate and rename several pathovars of the genera Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas to the rank...

Three different cosmid clones were isolated from a genomic library of the tomato pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, which, when introduced into the soybean pathogen P. syringae pv. glycinea, caused a defensive hypersensitive response (HR) in certain soybean cultivars. Each clone was distinguished by the specific cultivars that reacted hypersensitively and by the intensity of the HR elici...
