Abstract excerpt
The phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi causes olive and oleander knot disease. The bacterium induces the formation of tumorous galls by the synthesis and secretion of the plant hormones trans-zeatin riboside and indole-3-acetic acid into host intercellular spaces. An Italian oleander isolate, PB213, has been observed to lose the ability to synthesize IAA at high frequency, thus becoming...
