The bacterial pathogen peudomanas syringae is used as a model for understanding microbial evolution, how host and pathogens interact and bacterial virulence mechanisms.  P.syringae utilizes several strategies to manipulate hormone signaling in its host plants. These interactions help agriculturalists to detect diseases in plants and how to protect crops from being invaded by these harmful pathogens. In order to suppress host defenses and promote disease development, P. syringae produces a wide variety of virulence factors including auxin Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis, whose production is implicated in pathogen virulence. PtoDC3000 synthesizes IAA using an uncharacterized pathway that requires indole-3-acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. pseudomonas species evolved to grow under unfavorable environmental conditions such as high temperature, low oxygen or water availability. They also evolve metabolic diversity and plasticity to use a variety of nutrient courses to detoxify organic chemicals that are toxic and produce multiple specialized metabolites. P.syringae develops bacterial virulence mechanisms to survive in the adverse environmental conditions of the phyllosphere.

P.syringae develops bacterial virulence mechanisms to survive in the adverse environmental conditions of the phyllosphere. Learning about plant pathogen interactions is very important because these interactions have a profound effects not just on the plants but on humans as well. Potential development of inhibitors for P. Syringae could be useful for pathogen control in agriculture.
