Infection of the plant by Xanthomonas

  • Chapter
Xanthomonas

Abstract

Cells of xanthomonads which are deposited on plant surfaces by water splash, aerosols or other means need to invade the plant tissue in order to build up high populations and to cause disease. Only when favourable conditions exist may the bacteria temporarily multiply on plant surfaces by a process similar to epiphytes. Thus, for X. oryzae and several pathovars of X. campestris, e.g. juglandis, manihotis, malvacearum, phaseoli, phaseoli var. fuscans, pruni and vesicatoria, epiphytic growth has been reported (Hirano and Upper, 1983). Azad and Schaad (1988) showed that X. c. pv. translucens is capable of epiphytic growth on 2-week-old wheat plants, in controlled conditions at 25°C.
