Pseudomonas syringae is one of the most common plant pathogens that infect the
phyllosphere. P. syringae can live on the plant surface as an epiphyte. To cause disease, it …

Xanthomonas is a well-studied genus of bacterial plant pathogens whose members cause a
variety of diseases in economically important crops worldwide. Genomic and functional …

Flagella-driven motility is an important trait for bacterial colonization and virulence. Flagella
rotate and propel bacteria in liquid or semi-liquid media to ensure such bacterial fitness …

The foliar plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae can establish large epiphytic populations
on leaf surfaces before apoplastic colonization. However, the bacterial genes that contribute …

Pseudomonas syringae pv. porri, the causative agent of bacterial blight in leek (Allium
porrum), is increasingly frequent causing problems in leek cultivation. Because of the current …

Biosurfactant production by bacteria on leaf surfaces is poorly documented, and its role in
this habitat has not been explored. Therefore, we investigated the production and fitness …

The biological and regulatory roles of photosensory proteins are poorly understood for
nonphotosynthetic bacteria. The foliar bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae has three …

Productive plant–bacteria interactions, either beneficial or pathogenic, require that bacteria
successfully sense, integrate and respond to continuously changing environmental and …

Background Pseudomonas syringae is a widespread bacterial species complex that
includes a number of significant plant pathogens. Amongst these, P. syringae pv. actinidiae …

The marine bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a major cause of food-borne gastroenteritis,
employs a type VI secretion system 1 (T6SS1), a recently discovered protein secretion …
