Pseudomonas syringae pv. persicae is a pathogen that causes bacterial decline of stone fruit. Here, we report the draft genome sequence for P. syringae pv. persicae, which was isolated from Prunus persica.

The leaf colonization strategies of two bacterial strains were investigated. The foliar pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strain B728a and the nonpathogen Pantoea agglomerans strain BRT98 were marked with a green fluorescent protein, and surface (epiphytic) and subsurface (endophytic) sites of bean and maize leaves in the laboratory and the field were monitored to see if populations of...

UNLABELLED Plant-pathogenic bacteria are able to integrate information about their environment and adjust gene expression to provide adaptive functions. AlgU, an extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor encoded by Pseudomonas syringae, controls expression of genes for alginate biosynthesis and genes involved with resisting osmotic and oxidative stress. AlgU is active while these bacteria ar...

Levansucrases are bacterial extracellular enzymes that act on sucrose producing b-2,6-linked fructans of varied chain length. We summarize here our up-to-date results on (i) novel methods for the production of heterologous levansucrase proteins in Escherichia coli, (ii) biochemical characterization of the levansucrases encoded in the genome of a tomato and Arabidopsis pathogen Pseudomonas syrin...

The plant pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae is divided into pathovars differing in host specificity, with P. syringae pv. syringae (Psy) and P. syringae pv. tomato (Pto) representing particularly divergent pathovars. P. syringae hrp/hrc genes encode a type III protein secretion system that appears to translocate Avr and Hop effector proteins into plant cells. DNA sequence analysis of th...

UNLABELLED Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola causes halo blight of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, worldwide and remains difficult to control. Races of the pathogen cause either disease symptoms or a resistant hypersensitive response on a series of differentially reacting bean cultivars. The molecular genetics of the interaction between P. syringae pv. phaseolicola and bean, and the ev...

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...

The Gram-negative gammaproteobacterium Pseudomonas syringae is one of the most wide-spread plant pathogens and has been repeatedly reported to cause significant damage to crop plantations. Research on this pathogen is very intensive, but most of it is done on isolates that are pathogenic to Arabidopsis, tomato, and bean. Here, we announce a high-quality draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas syri...
