This book describes how genomics has revolutionized our scientific
understanding of agriculturally important plant-associated
bacteria. Each chapter focuses on the genomics of particular
bacteria: the first described plant pathogen, Erwinia amylovora;
phytoplasmas lacking cell walls; fastidious, phloem-restricted
liberibacters; Pseudomonas syringae, which is a genetically
tractable model system; Xanthomonas citri, which causes a disease
that can devastate citrus crops and Pseudomonas fluorescens, which
can protect plants from diseases. Topics considered in this volume
include the importance of horizontal gene transfer in originating
new bacterial strains and species and advances in transcriptomics
that allow us to describe the complex regulatory networks critical
to plant-microbe interactions. The availability of the Xanthomonas
oryzae genome has led to new technologies in genome editing, which
will revolutionize approaches to genetic engineering, even in
eukaryotes. The contributions show how genomics has greatly
accelerated progress toward understanding the biology of these
bacteria and how that understanding can be translated into novel
crop protection methods.
