Received 29 September 2009 alisalensis belongs to P. syringae sensu lato. In reciprocal DNA/DNA hybridization experiments, DNA relatedness was high (69–100%) between P. syringae pv. alisalensis strains and the type strain of Keywords: P. cannabina (genomospecies 9). In contrast, DNA relatedness was low (below 48%) between P. syringae Cannabis sativa pv. alisalensis and reference strains from the remaining genomospecies of P. syringae including the type Hops strain of P. syringae and reference strain of genomospecies 3 (P. syringae pv. tomato) although the well- Marijuana known crucifer pathogen, P. syringae pv. maculicola, also belongs to genomospecies 3. Additional Host range evidence that P. syringae pv. alisalensis belongs to P. cannabina was sequence similarity in five gene Brassica rapa fragments used in multilocus sequence typing, as well as similar rep-PCR patterns when using the BOX- Broccoli raab A1R primers. The description of P. cannabina has been emended to include P. syringae pv. alisalensis. Broccoli Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola Host range testing demonstrated that P. syringae pv. alisalensis strains, originally isolated from broccoli, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato broccoli raab or arugula, were not pathogenic on Cannabis sativa (family Cannabinaceae). Additionally, P. cannabina strains, originally isolated from the C. sativa were not pathogenic on broccoli raab or oat while P. syringae pv. alisalensis strains were pathogenic on these hosts. Distinct host ranges for these two groups indicate that P. cannabina emend. consists of at least two distinct pathovars, P. cannabina pv. cannabina pv. nov., and P. cannabina pv. alisalensis comb. nov. Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola strain CFBP 1637 is a member of P. cannabina. Published by Elsevier GmbH. Introduction syringae is further delineated into pathovars (an infrasubspecific designation for phytopathogenically distinct members of a Pseudomonas syringae is a heterogeneous species consisting of species; [18]).
