The Biology of Interactions between Plants and Bacteria

  • Conference paper
Book cover Biology and Molecular Biology of Plant-Pathogen Interactions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 1))

Abstract

The Mollicutes (spiroplasmas and mycoplasma-like organisms) and fastidious vascular bacteria, few of which have been cultivated [1], will not be considered in this article. The plant pathogenic bacteria to be described in most detail here are members of the genera Agrobacterium, Erwinia, Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas. All are Gram negative bacteria which grow well in culture on simple media. Despite their common lack of exacting nutritional requirements the bacteria produce very different types of disease ranging from soft rots (Erwinia spp.) to tumorigenic hyperplasias (Agrobacterium spp.). The unifying feature of all phytopathogenic bacteria is their ability to multiply within the tissues of their host plants [2,3].
