Abstract
A technique for long‐term preservation of phytopathogenic bacteria is described. It is based on selective multiplication of the bacterial pathogen in host tissue, disinfection of leaf surfaces to reduce contamination, lyophilization of leaves, and storage under dry conditions at ‐ 80°C. With this technique, the pathogenicity of large numbers of the pathogens Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato and Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria was maintained for 4 years.
