A remarkable shift in our understanding of plant‐pathogenic bacteria is underway. Until
recently, nearly all research on phytopathogenic bacteria was focused on a small number of …

The Pseudomonas syringae phylogenetic group comprises 15 recognized bacterial species
and more than 60 pathovars. The classification and identification of strains is relevant for …

Genome‐wide analyses of the effector‐and toxin‐encoding genes were used to examine the
phylogenetics and evolution of pathogenicity amongst diverse strains of Pseudomonas …

New economically important diseases on crops and forest trees emerge recurrently. An
understanding of where new pathogenic lines come from and how they evolve is …

The diversification of lineages within Pseudomonas syringae has involved a number of
adaptive shifts from herbaceous hosts onto various species of tree, resulting in the …

As a species complex, P seudomonas syringae exists in both agriculture and natural aquatic
habitats. P. viridiflava, a member of this complex, has been reported to be phenotypically …

Abstract Background Diseases on Prunus spp. have been associated with a large number of
phylogenetically different pathovars and species within the P. syringae species complex …

Tailocins are phage-derived bacteriocins that demonstrate great potential as agricultural
antimicrobials given their high killing efficiency and their precise strain-specific targeting …

Pseudomonas syringae sensu stricto (phylogroup 2; referred to as P. syringae) consists of
an environmentally ubiquitous bacterial population associated with diseases of numerous …

Both type III effector proteins and nonribosomal peptide toxins play important roles for
Pseudomonas syringae pathogenicity in host plants, but whether and how these pathways …
