Bipolaris sp., Exserohilum sp. and bacteria, were isolated from lesions, but only bacterial isolates produced the original symptoms following inoculation of a susceptible pearl millet line, 852B. Biochemical and physiological tests, including LOPAT, indicated that the bacterium was the fluorescent pseudomonad, Pseudomonas syringae. This represents the first report of P. syringae on pearl millet in Africa Blackwell Publishing 1999 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/3621/1/Journalo_Phytopathology_147_11-12_701-706_1999.pdf Frederickson, D E and Monyo, E S and King, S B and Odvody, G N and Claflin, L E (1999) Presumptive identification of Pseudomonas syringae, the cause of foliar leafspots and streaks on pearl millet in Zimbabwe.
