The Genome of Pseudomonas syringae Tomato DC3000 and Functional Genomic Studies to Better Understand Plant Pathogenesis

  • Chapter
Pseudomonas

Abstract

Pseudomonas syringae is a member of the gamma subgroup of the Proteobacteria and a plant pathogen that infects many different plants30, Certain P syringae strains can infect only one or a few plant species, and on this basis, P syringae has been separated into greater than 50 pathovars106. While P syringae will eventually kill plant cells (i.e., it is necrogenic), it is typically considered a biotrophic pathogen and it can live on plant leaves as an epiphyte3, 49. The host specificity that P syringae displays is at least partly due to pathogen avirulence genes that encode proteins (i.e., Avr proteins) that trigger the disease resistance (R)-gene-based plant innate immune system in resistant plants53, One of the plant defense responses triggered by Avr proteins is the hypersensitive response (HR), which is a programmed cell death of plant tissue that is associated with successful defense against pathogens. P syringae mutants unable to elicit an HR led to the discovery of hrp genes—the genes that encode the P syringae type III proteins secretion system (TT88) 63. P syringae pathogenesis relies on the TT88 and the effector proteins it translocates into host cells similar to most of the animal and plant pathogens that possess TT88s27.
