Strelitzia leaf spot caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae
Journal of Plant Pathology 82 (2), 159-159
Abstract: In 1999 a bacterial leaf spot disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae was observed on Strelitzia augusta plants grown near citrus groves in southern Italy. Symptoms included dark brown necrotic spots 1-2 cm in diameter and large necrotic lesions that originated from wounds caused by wind damage. Lesions were surrounded by a chlorotic water-soaked halo. Identification of the bacterial isolates was based on SDS-PAGE profiles of whole cell proteins and PCR analysis. Pathogenicity was demonstrated by reinoculation.
