The production of peptide siderophores and the variation in siderophore production among strains of Pseudomonas syringae and Pseudomonas viridiflava were investigated. An antibiose test was used to select a free amino acid-containing agar medium favorable for production of fluorescent siderophores by two P. syringae strains. A culture technique in which both liquid and solid asparagine-containi...

Pseudomonas syringae pv. lapsa is a pathovar of Pseudomonas syringae that can infect wheat. The complete genome of P. syringae pv. lapsa strain ATCC 10859 contains a 5,918,899-bp circular chromosome with 4,973 coding sequences, 16 rRNAs, 69 tRNAs, and an average GC content of 59.13%. The analysis of this genome revealed several gene clusters that are related to pathogenesis and virulence.

Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola strain M6 (Psm M6) carries the avrRpm1 gene, encoding a type III effector, on a 40 kb plasmid, pFKN. We hypothesized that this plasmid might carry additional genes required for pathogenesis on plants. We report the sequence and features of pFKN. In addition to avrRpm1, pFKN carries an allele of another type III effector, termed avrPphE, and a gene of unknown ...

We developed a model system to study the signal transduction pathways leading to the activation of Arabidopsis thaliana genes involved in the defense against pathogen attack. Here we describe the identification and characterization of virulent and avirulent Pseudomonas syringae strains that elicit disease or resistance symptoms when infiltrated into Arabidopsis leaves. The virulent and avirulen...

• The mechanisms by which plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) mediate induced systemic resistance are currently being intensively investigated from the viewpoint of signal transduction pathways within plants. • Here, we determined whether our well-characterized PGPR strains, which have demonstrated induced resistance on various plants, also elicit induced resistance in Arabidopsis thali...

The Arabidopsis disease resistance gene RPSP is involved in recognition of bacterial pathogens carrying the avirulence gene avrRpt2, and the RPMl resistance gene is involved in recognition of pathogens carrying avrRpml or avrB. We identified and cloned two Arabidopsis genes, AIGl and AIG2 (for a_vrRpt2-~nduced gene), that exhibit RPSPand avrFfptbdependent induction early after infection with Ps...

چکیده مرحله اپی فیتی باکتری pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (pss) در شیوع و انتشار آن نقش اساسی دارد. این تحقیق با هدف تعیین جمعیت اپی فیتی باکتری pss روی تعدادی از علف های هرز باغات زردآلوی آلوده به بیماری شانکر باکتریایی در منطقه مرند انجام گرفت. در ماه های مهر و آبان از علف های هرز موجود نظیر پنیرک، تاج خروس، گل قاصد، پیچک، سلمه، قیاق و مرغ نمونه برداری شد. رقت های مختلف تا 7-10 از سوسپانس...

In Arabidopsis, NPR1 mediates the salicylic acid (SA)-induced expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes and systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Here, we report the identification of another component, CPR 6, that may function with NPR1 in regulating PR gene expression. The dominant CPR 6-1 mutant expresses the SA/NPR1-regulated PR genes (PR-1, BGL 2, and PR-5) and displays enhanced resistan...
