Abstract

Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato je biljni patogen koji može živjeti kao epifit na površini lista ili unutar apoplasta biljke prilikom čega uzrokuje infekciju i bolest. Najčešći domaćin ovog patogena u prirodnom staništu je rajčica, ali i biljka model uročnjak (Arabidopsis thaliana) u laboratoriju. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je kroz pregled najnovije bibliografije opisati mikrobiološku aktivnost patogena Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, te istražiti i prezentirati mehanizme kojima uzrokuje bolesti u poljoprivredno važnim biljkama, te iznijeti komparativne studije o razvoju simptoma, molekularnoj signalizaciji i obrambenim odgovorima kod uročnjaka. Ova interakcija je od velikog znanstvenog interesa u molekularnom karakteriziranju mehanizama kojima Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato uzrokuje bolest u biljci domaćinu. Dostupnost sofisticiranih molekularnih alata i resursa (sekvencionirani genom) olakšava dubinska istraživanja mehanizama na kojima se temelji ova interakcija biljaka-patogen.

Abstract (english)

Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato is a plant pathogen that can live as an epiphyte on the surface of the leaf or inside the apoplast of the plant, causing infection and disease. The most common host of this pathogen in its natural habitat is the tomato, but also the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, in the laboratory. The aim of this thesis is to describe the microbiological activity of the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato through a review of the latest bibliography, and to investigate and present the mechanisms by which it causes diseases in agriculturally important plants, and to present comparative studies on the development of symptoms, molecular signaling and defense responses in Arabidopsis thaliana. This interaction is of great scientific interest in the molecular characterization of the mechanisms by which Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato causes disease in the host plant. The availability of sophisticated molecular tools and resources (the sequenced genome) facilitates in-depth investigations of the mechanisms underlying this plant-pathogen interaction.
