Pseudomonas syringae
Research ArticlePseudomonas syringae AlgU Downregulates Flagellin Gene Expression, Helping Evade Plant ImmunityFoliar plant pathogens, like Pseudomonas syringae, adjust their physiology and behavior to facilitate host colonization and disease, but the full extent of these adaptations is not known. Plant immune systems are triggered by bacterial molecules, such as the proteins that make up flagellar filaments. In this study, we found that during plant infection, AlgU, a gene...
Research ArticlePrevention of Surface-Associated Calcium Phosphate by the Pseudomonas syringae Two-Component System CvsSRBacteria are capable of precipitating and dissolving minerals. We previously reported the characterization of the two-component system CvsSR in the plant-pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae. CvsSR responds to the presence of calcium and is important for causing disease. Here, we show that CvsSR controls the ability of the bacterium to prevent calcium phosphate...
