title: Evidence for a correlation between auxin production and host plant species among strains of Pseudomonas syringae subsp. savastanoi.
abstract: Auxin production by 131 strains of Pseudomonas syringae subsp. savastanoi was investigated with the aim of looking for correlations among this characteristic and the origin of the strains, the types of symptoms, and the host plant. Most of the P.syringae subsp. savastanoi strains, except those isolated from ash, produced auxin and harbored iaa genes. Among ash strains, which were pathogenic only on ash, only 2 out of 33 were found to produce auxin and to harbor iaa genes.
