The bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae depends on a type III protein secretion system and the
effector proteins that it translocates into plant cells to cause disease and to elicit the defense-associated
hypersensitive response on resistant plants. The availability of the P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 genome
