Associations between local-scale soil and tree context factors and Acute Oak Decline (AOD): plant-soil feedbacks and the cause-effect conundrum Open
Background and aims Acute oak decline (AOD), a decline syndrome affecting mature oaks, involves bacterial pathogens which likely act as opportunists under host stress. Trees displaying symptoms (bleeding cankers) appear in localized cluste…

Impact of Phage Therapy on <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> pv. <i>syringae</i> and Plant Microbiome Dynamics Through Coevolution and Field Experiments Open
Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect and lyse bacteria and have the potential for controlling bacterial diseases. Isolation of phages targeting the cherry pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae ( Pss ) led to five distinct p…

Exploring the Exclusive Isolation of <span> <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> </span> in <i>Peltigera</i> Lichens via Metabolite Analysis and Growth Assays Open
The specific association of the potentially plant‐pathogenic Pseudomonas syringae with Peltigera lichens raises questions about the factors driving this host specificity. To explore this, the metabolic profile of seven lichen species belon…

Pseudomonas fluorescens Open
Pseudomonas fluorescens is a Gram-negative environmental bacterium often studied as a key contributor to plant and soil health. Pan-genome analysis suggests that P. fluorescens is not a single species, but is better described as a species …

Oak declines: Reviewing the evidence for causes, management implications and research gaps Open
Oak decline is a complex disorder caused by multiple stressors. Although declines have been observed across Europe since 1700, there is still a lot of uncertainty around the cause, and therefore the appropriate management techniques. Using…

Coevolutionary analysis of <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> –phage interactions to help with rational design of phage treatments Open
Treating plant bacterial diseases is notoriously difficult because of the lack of available antimicrobials. Pseudomonas syringae pathovar syringae ( Pss ) is a major pathogen of cherry ( Prunus avium ) causing bacterial canker of the stem,…

Multiple toxins and a protease contribute to the aphid‐killing ability of <i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i> <span>PpR24</span> Open
Aphids are globally important pests causing damage to a broad range of crops. Due to insecticide resistance, there is an urgent need to develop alternative control strategies. In our previous work, we found Pseudomonas fluorescens PpR24 ca…

Genetic dissection of the tissue‐specific roles of type III effectors and phytotoxins in the pathogenicity of <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> pv. <i>syringae</i> to cherry Open
When compared with other phylogroups (PGs) of the Pseudomonas syringae species complex, P. syringae pv. s yringae (Pss) strains within PG2 have a reduced repertoire of type III effectors (T3Es) but produce several phytotoxins. Effectors wi…
