We examined the effects of the Pto resistance locus on the population dynamics of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) strains in field experiments with the nearly isogenic tomato lines Rio Grande (RG, susceptible to Pst races 0 and 1) and Rio Grande-Pto (RG-Pto, resistant to Pst race 0, susceptible to Pst race 1). Pst strain SM78-1Sm(r) (race 0) grew well under field conditions and caused ample bacterial speck disease on susceptible RG plants. In contrast, strain DC3000 failed to establish large populations when inoculated onto field grown RG plants. Mean population sizes of SM78-1Sm(r) were 4-5 orders of magnitude larger on RG than RG-Pto plants indicating that RG-Pto plants were highly effective in attenuating pathogen population development. Most of the sampled leaflets from RG-Pto field plots harboured small numbers of SM78-1Sm(r). However, population sizes SM78-1Sm(r) as large as 10(5)-10(6) CFU were found on a few leaflets. Bacteria isolated from these leaflets had phenotypes characteristic of Pst race 1 strains. In growth chamber plant assays, the bacterial strains grew well and caused typical speck lesions on RG-Pto plants. The strains appeared to be race-shift mutants of SM SM78-1Sm(r). Interestingly, results from DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that the race-shift mutants were deleted for the avirulence gene, avrPto but not for avrPtoB.
