Pseudomonas syringae: enterprising epiphyte and stealthy parasite Open Access

This article is part of the Microbe Profiles collection.

Abstract

  Pseudomonas syringae   is best known as a plant pathogenic bacterium that causes diseases in a multitude of hosts, and it has been used as a model organism to understand the biology of plant disease. Pathogenic and non-pathogenic isolates of   P. syringae   are also commonly found living as epiphytes and in the wider environment, including water sources such as rivers and precipitation. Ice-nucleating strains of   P. syringae   are associated with frost damage to crops. The genomes of numerous strains of   P. syringae   have been sequenced and molecular genetic studies have elucidated many aspects of this pathogen’s interaction with its host plants.
