Effect of phenotypic plasticity on epiphytic survival and colonization by Pseudomonas syringae.

Abstract excerpt

The bacterial epiphyte Pseudomonas syringae MF714R was cultured on agar or in broth or collected from colonized leaves; it was then inoculated onto greenhouse-grown bean plants incubated in a growth chamber at low relative humidity or in the field or onto field-grown bean plants. Cells cultured in liquid medium survived the least well after inoculation of leaf surfaces under all conditions. Cells cultured in...
