If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, look no further than Pseudomonas syringae. This plant pathogen has a very special talent - turning water molecules into rain droplets and ice crystals! Many ...

The plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae causes major damage in agriculture. However, it also produces a large number of biologically active natural products. These could help the bacterium to adapt to ...

How are bacterial pathogens able to effectively overcome plants' defense mechanisms? Researchers working with Professor Şuayb ...

A research team of the Cluster at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology—Hans Knöll Institute (Leibniz-HKI) and the Friedrich Schiller University, Jena has studied ...

In plants, the space between cells is a key battleground during infection. To avoid recognition in this space, a strain of the bacterial tomato disease Pseudomonas syringae manipulates plants by ...

The capacity of bacteria to spread disease across the Plant Kingdom may be much more widespread than previously suspected, according to new analysis. The capacity of bacteria to spread disease across ...

Farmers, gardeners, and botanists have long observed that plant diseases tend to flare up during periods of high humidity, particularly after rainfall. Humid conditions help bacteria enter plant ...

A water droplet never freezes at zero degrees Celsius. Water forms ice only at the temperature which is commonly known as freezing point, if it is in contact with large surfaces with many and large ...
