Identifying resistance in wild and ornamental cherry towards bacterial canker caused by Pseudomonas syringae (2021)
Journal Article
Hulin, M. T., Vadillo Dieguez, A., Cossu, F., Lynn, S., Russell, K., Neale, H. C., …Harrison, R. J. (2022). Identifying resistance in wild and ornamental cherry towards bacterial canker caused by Pseudomonas syringae. Plant Pathology, 71(4), 949-965. https://doi.org/10.1111/ppa.13513

Bacterial canker is a major disease of stone fruits and is a critical limiting factor to sweet cherry (Prunus avium) production worldwide. One important strategy for disease control is the development of resistant varieties. Partial varietal resistan...

An improved conjugation method for Pseudomonas syringae (2020)
Journal Article
Neale, H. C., Hulin, M. T., Harrison, R. J., Jackson, R. W., Mansfield, J. W., & Arnold, D. L. (2020). An improved conjugation method for Pseudomonas syringae. Journal of Microbiological Methods, 177, Article 106025. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mimet.2020.106025

In order to achieve saturating transposon mutagenesis of the genome of plant pathogenic strains of Pseudomonas syringae we needed to improve plasmid conjugation frequency. Manipulation of the growth stage of donor and recipient cells allowed the requ... Read More about An improved conjugation method for Pseudomonas syringae.

Supercoiling of an excised genomic island represses effector gene expression to prevent activation of host resistance (2018)
Journal Article

Hydrogen sulfide causes excision of a genomic island in Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (2017)
Journal Article
Neale, H., Deshappriya, N., Arnold, D. L., Wood, M. E., Whiteman, M., & Hancock, J. T. (2017). Hydrogen sulfide causes excision of a genomic island in Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola. European Journal of Plant Pathology, 149(4), 911-921. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10658-017-1240-7

© 2017, The Author(s). Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is known to be an important signalling molecule in both animals and plants, despite its toxic nature. In plants it has been seen to control stomatal apertures, so altering the ability of bacteria to invad...

A low frequency persistent reservoir of a genomic island in a pathogen population ensures island survival and improves pathogen fitness in a susceptible host (2016)
Journal Article
Neale, H., Laister, R., Payne, J., Preston, G., Jackson, R., & Arnold, D. L. (2016). A low frequency persistent reservoir of a genomic island in a pathogen population ensures island survival and improves pathogen fitness in a susceptible host. Environmental Microbiology, 18(11), 4144-4152. https://doi.org/10.1111/1462-2920.13482

The co-evolution of bacterial plant pathogens and their hosts is a complex and dynamic process. Host resistance imposes stress on invading pathogens that can lead to changes in the bacterial genome enabling the pathogen to escape host resistance. We...
