Abstract

In nature plants are resistant to the majority of pathogens, and many bacteria live in close contact with the plant without causing any harm (see chapter by BEATTIE and LINDOW in this volume). Among the 1600 different species known in the bacterial kingdom only a small number (about 80) are plant pathogenic and in most cases highly specialized with respect to the plant that can be attacked. Only a few of these species are gram-positive, e.g., Clavibacter ssp. and Streptomyces ssp. In this review I focus on subspecies of the gram-negative genera Erwinia, Pseudomonas, and Xanthomonas, which comprise the major bacterial plant pathogens.
