Phytopathogenic Members of the Genus Pseudomonas

  • Chapter
The Prokaryotes

Abstract

The phytopathogenic pseudomonads cause an array of diseases in plants ranging from necrotic lesions and spots of fruit, stems, and leaves, to hyperplasias (galls, scabs), tissue macerations (rots), cankers, blights, and vascular infections (wilts). Pseudomonas-incited plant diseases are worldwide in distribution and involve representatives of most major groups of higher plants. Some of the world’s most serious infectious plant diseases are caused by members of this genus, such as Pseudomonas sol-anacearum. Other bacteria in this group, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are low-grade phyto-pathogens, which seldom attack plants and only when the plants are under stress.
