Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis underlying loss-of-virulence mutations that arise among natural phytopathogen populations is not well documented. In this study, we examined the virulence of 377 isolates of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3) that were isolated from 76 kiwifruit orchards suffering from bacterial canker disease. Eighty-four nonpathogenic isolates were identified in 40 orchards. A nonpathogenic...
