Abstract

Bacterial pathogens must enter the plant tissue in order to cause a successful infection. Foliar bacterial pathogens that are not able to directly penetrate the plant epidermis rely on wounds or natural openings to internalize leaves. This protocol describes a procedure to estimate the population size of Pseudomonas syringae in the leaf apoplast after surface inoculation of Arabidopsis rosettes.

Background

Plant pathogenic bacteria causing foliar diseases may penetrate the leaf epidermis through wounds and natural openings such as stomata. Stomata are microscopic pores that mediate the regulation of transpiration and the exchange of gases between the plant and the atmosphere. Interestingly, we have demonstrated that bacteria can induce stomatal closure. This phenomenon is now recognized as stomatal defense, which hampers bacterial internalization into the leaf decreasing disease development (reviewed by Melotto et al., 2017, in press). Here, we describe a method adapted from Katagiri et al. (2002) and Panchal et al. (2016a and 2016b) to measure the total endophytic bacterial population of Pseudomonas syringae within Arabidopsis leaf tissue after surface inoculation. This procedure is useful to estimate bacterial penetration of leaves through stomata in a laboratory setting.
