Pseudomonas syringae is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium with polar flagella. As a plant pathogen , it can infect a wide range of species, and exists as over 50 different pathovars , [ 2 ] all of which are available to researchers from international culture collections such as the NCPPB , ICMP , and others.
Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea should be monitored carefully in seed production fields as it is seed borne and can affect seed quality. [2] A study conducted by Stefani et al. in 1998 found that seeds with contamination levels ranging from 0.5 to 20% did not lead to any significant yield loss when grown in warm and dry regions. [3]
Pseudomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Pseudomonadaceae in the class Gammaproteobacteria.The 348 members of the genus [2] [3] demonstrate a great deal of metabolic diversity and consequently are able to colonize a wide range of niches and hosts.
The development of the Halo blight is highly favored by cool temperature (such as 20–23 °C), unlike other common bacterial blights. In warm temperatures (over 24 °C), the production of phaseolotoxin decreases and symptoms become less obvious. Phaseolotoxin is a toxin produced by Halo blight pathogen which causes systemic chlorosis. [1]
Even if the ice-minus strain does not win out, the amount of ice nucleate present from ice-plus P. syringae would be reduced due to competition. Decreased levels of frost generation at normal water freezing temperature would translate into a lowered quantity of crops lost due to frost damage, rendering higher crop yields overall.
Bacterial soft rots are caused by several types of bacteria, but most commonly by species of gram-negative bacteria, Erwinia, Pectobacterium, and Pseudomonas. It is a destructive disease of fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals found worldwide, and affects genera from nearly all the plant families.
First, pseudomonas viridiflava infects the kiwifruit vine buds before flowering during the spring, when warmer weather comes around. The warmer weather has been indicated in one study of disease incidence being at its highest point between 10 and 12 °C. [6] This temperature promotes flowering and is the ideal time for bacteria to attack the plant.
Pseudomonas syringae pv. Aesculi is a bacterium that causes bleeding canker of horse chestnut. The pathogen overwinters in the soil and can survive in the soil for about a year. [2] It is spread by water, rain, and tools that were used on the infected tree. [3] It causes lesions on the bark of the tree that can be near the base of the trunk or ...
