Abstract
Since 2006, a commercial grower in Japan has noted a leaf blight symptom on potted cosmos plants grown in a field. In August 2012, a Pseudomonas-like bacterium was isolated from the symptomatic leaves and found to cause the same symptom on cosmos seedlings after inoculation. On the basis of bacteriological and phylogenetic analyses, the causative bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas cichorii. This is the first report of bacterial leaf blight on cosmos caused by P. cichorii in Japan.
