Diverse Pseudomonas species engage in beneficial and suppressive interactions with the kiwifruit pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae across Actinidia germplasm
Through metabarcoding, targeted isolation, and whole genome sequencing, we identified diverse Pseudomonads that appear to interact with Psa across kiwifruit germplasm.

Contrasting effector profiles between bacterial colonisers of kiwifruit reveal redundant roles converging on PTI-suppression and RIN4
Effector knockout and knock-in assays in virulent Psa3 and avirulent Pfm identified a number of redundantly required effectors that converge on the RIN4 plant immunity hub.

Variation at the common polysaccharide antigen locus drives lipopolysaccharide diversity within the Pseudomonas syringae species complex
The TET operon determines the variability of LPS profiles in Psa, which is in turn correlated with tailocin susceptibility.
