Most bacterial plant pathogens employ a type‐III secretion system to inject type‐III effector
(T3E) proteins directly inside plant cells. These T3Es manipulate host cellular processes in …

Microbe associated molecular pattern (MAMP) receptors in plants recognize MAMPs and
activate basal defences; however a complete understanding of the molecular and …

Plants develop in a microbe-rich environment and must interact with a plethora of
microorganisms, both pathogenic and beneficial. Indeed, such is the case of Pseudomonas …

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) causes cassava bacterial blight, the most
important bacterial disease of cassava. Xam, like other Xanthomonas species, requires type …

HopQ1 (for Hrp outer protein Q), a type III effector secreted by Pseudomonas syringae pv
phaseolicola, is widely conserved among diverse genera of plant bacteria. It promotes the …

The phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae delivers into host cells type III secreted effectors
(T3 SE s) that promote virulence. One virulence mechanism employed by T3 SE s is to target …

Intercellular communication is a widespread phenomenon in all domains of life. Bacteria
have developed many ways of communicating with one another and with other species …

Members of the Pseudomonas syringae species complex are heterogeneous bacteria that
are the most abundant bacterial plant pathogens in the plant phyllosphere, with strong …

During the genomic and proteomic era of plant pathology in the last decade, extensive
progress has been made in the understanding of the mechanisms of the interactions …

Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata is a member of the sugar beet pathobiome and the
causative agent of leaf spot disease. Like many pathogenic bacteria, P. syringae relies on …
