rod-shaped bacterium responsible for many diseases on woody plants. It acts opportunistically targeting plants wounded from abiotic or biotic factors. P. syringae is responsible for some severe crop diseases such as bacteria speck, spot, and blight of tomato and soybeans. Interestingly, it has a vast host range with over 50 pathovars. The success of the pathogen is attributed to its specificities (Sarkar & Guttman, 2004). How it has obtained these specificities has been investigated, and HGT is…

sequenced segments of tomato and Arabidopsis genome to further understand the role of these linked genes in higher plants. They chose bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC19) from the ovate-containing region of the tomato chromosome II. At the time when this research is conducted, the tomato genome is not yet sequenced to completion. Therefore the ovate-region is used since several ORFs near the ovate¬ locus have been shown to possess homologous matches in Arabidopsis. The Tomato II sequence is…
