Pseudomonas coronafaciens
Plant-pathogenic bacterium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pseudomonas coronafaciens is a Gram-negative bacterium that is pathogenic to several plant species. Following ribotypical analysis several pathovars of P. syringae were incorporated into this species.[1][2]

Hosts
- Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. atropurpurea is pathogenic on Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum, syn. Festuca perennis).
- Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. coronafaciens causes halo blight on oat (Avena sativa).
- Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. garcae infects the coffee plant Coffea arabica.
- Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. oryzae is pathogenic on rice (Oryza sativa).
- Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. porri infects the leek (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum).
- Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. striafaciens causes bacterial stripe blight on oat (Avena sativa).
- Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. zizaniae causes bacterial leaf streak on wild rice (Zizania aquatica).
Pathogenesis
P. coronafaciens performs quorum sensing by way of acylhomoserine lactone compounds.[3] Cha et al., 1998 and Dumenyo et al., 1998 isolate and characterize some of these.[3]
