PSDMTA-3, PSDMTA-5, PSDMTA-6
Pathway not proven. All references above present circumstantial evidence for seed transmission of P. syringae pv. tabaci in soybean was suggested by the fact that wildfire developed in the field on seedlings grown from seed harvested from infected soybean plants, but not from seeds harvested from healthy plants. No references with direct evidence of seed transmission in nature were found.
No
Hot water treatment 
Field management and pathogen free seed also suggested.
