Pseudomonas syringae is described as a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium with polar flagella (1). With various strains, P. syringae holds a diverse set of biological characteristics, infecting a wide variety of plants and existing within diverse microbial communities. (1,2) As a plant-based pathogen known for its epiphytic abilities, P. syringae is also incredibly active in ice-nucleation. (3) With such a wide set of biological interactions and significant contributions to biological systems, understanding the molecular basis of P. syringae is critical and has resulted in P. syringae acting as a model for the study of host-pathogen interactions in various experimental hypotheses. (1) In addition, the abundance of P. syringae in rain, snow, and in wild plants has been closely reported and corresponds with studies looking into P. syringae in relation to biochemical traits, pathogenicity and pathogenicity-related factors. (3) Such studies include the investigation of how P. syringae manipulates systemic plant defense against pathogens and herbivores, which suggest and highlight the complex diversity of defense signaling interactions between different organisms. (4) Therefore, the study of P. syringae provides a wide range of ecological, biological, and environmental significance that can be used to further understanding in crop disease, plant bacterial population size, and bioprecipitation.
