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 …

High humidity has a strong influence on the development of numerous diseases affecting
the above-ground parts of plants (the phyllosphere) in crop fields and natural ecosystems …

Since the early 1980s, various strains of the gram-negative bacterial pathogen
Pseudomonas syringae have been used as models for understanding plant-bacterial …

Although virulence is typically attributed to single pathogenic strains, here we investigated
whether effectors secreted by a population of non-virulent strains could function as public …

This review briefly addresses what has been learned about resistance durability in recent
years, as well as the questions that still remain. Molecular analyses of major gene …

Pathogenicity of most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria depends on the type III
secretion (T3S) system, which translocates bacterial effector proteins into plant cells. Type III …

Phytopathogenic bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes invade and colonize their host plants
through distinct routes. These pathogens secrete diverse groups of effector proteins that aid …

Nicotiana benthamiana is a widely used model plant species for the study of fundamental
questions in molecular plant-microbe interactions and other areas of plant biology. This …

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