Genetic background of host—pathogen interaction betweenCucumis sativus L. andPseudomonas syringae pv.lachrymans
The interplay of plant resistance mechanisms and bacterial pathogenicity is very complex. This applies also to the interaction that takes place between the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans (Smith et Bryan) and the cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) as its host plant. Research on P. syringae...

Summary: | The interplay of plant resistance mechanisms and bacterial pathogenicity is very complex. This applies also to the interaction that takes place between the pathogen
Pseudomonas syringae
pv.
lachrymans
(Smith et Bryan) and the cucumber (
Cucumis sativus
L.) as its host plant. Research on
P. syringae
pv.
lachrymans
has led to the discovery of specific factors produced during pathogenesis, i.e. toxins or enzymes. Similarly, studies on cucumber have identified the specific types of plant resistance expressed, namely Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) or Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR). This paper presents a summary of the current state of knowledge about this particular host-pathogen interaction, with reference to general information about interactions of
P. syringae
pathovars with host plants. |
