'Pseudomonas tomato' is a Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium that infects a variety of plants. It was once considered a pathovar of Pseudomonas syringae, but following DNA-relatedness studies, it was recognized as a separate species and several other former P. syringae pathovars were incorporated into it.[1] Since no official name has yet been given, it is referred to by the epithet 'Pseudomonas tomato' .[2]

Pathovars

  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. antirrhini attacks snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus).
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. apii attacks celery (Apium graveolens).
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. berberidis attacks Berberis species.
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. delphinii attacks Delphinium species.
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. lachrymans attacks cucumbers (Cucumis sativus).
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. maculicola attacks members of Brassica and Raphanus.
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. morsprunorum attacks plums (Prunus domestica).
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. passiflorae attacks passion fruit (Passiflora edulis).
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. persicae attacks the plum relative Prunus persica.
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. philadelphi attacks the sweet mock-orange (Philadelphus coronarius).
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. primulae attacks Primula species.
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. ribicola attacks the golden currant Ribes aureum.
  • 'Pseudomonas tomato' pv. tomato attacks the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) causing it to fruit less.[3]
