Pseudomonas bacteria are widespread and are found in soil and water, as well as
pathogens of both plants and animals. The ability of Pseudomonas to colonize many …

Pseudomonas syringae are Gram-negative, plant pathogenic bacteria that use a type III
secretion system (T3SS) to disarm host immune responses and promote bacterial growth …

INTRODUCTION Immunogenic flagellin fragments are a signature of bacterial invasion in
both plants and animals. Plants recognize flagellin fragments via flagellin sensitive 2 (FLS2) …

Two-component systems (TCSs) consist of the biggest group of signal transduction
pathways in biology. Although TCSs play key roles in sensing signals to sustain survival and …

Bacterial pathogenic growth requires a swift coordination of pathogenicity function with
various kinds of environmental stress encountered in the course of host infection. Among the …

Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors are subunits of the RNA polymerase
specialized in activating the transcription of a subset of genes responding to a specific …

Pseudomonas savastanoi uses a type III secretion system (T3SS) to invade host plants. Our
previous studies have demonstrated that a two-component system (TCS), RhpRS, enables …

The genetic basis underlying loss‐of‐virulence mutations that arise among natural
phytopathogen populations is not well documented. In this study, we examined the virulence …

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae is a phytopathogen that causes devastating bacterial
canker in kiwifruit. Among five biovars defined by genetic, biochemical, and virulence traits …

Dickeya zeae is an aggressive bacterial phytopathogen that infects a wide range of host
plants. It has been reported that integration host factor (IHF), a nucleoid‐associated protein …
