TLDR
The current knowledge on the infection strategies and regulatory networks controlling virulence and adaptation mechanisms from Xanthomonas species are summarized and the novel opportunities that this body of work has provided for disease control and plant health are discussed.Abstract:
Xanthomonas is a well-studied genus of bacterial plant pathogens whose members cause a variety of diseases in economically important crops worldwide. Genomic and functional studies of these phytopathogens have provided significant understanding of microbial-host interactions, bacterial virulence and host adaptation mechanisms including microbial ecology and epidemiology. In addition, several strains of Xanthomonas are important as producers of the extracellular polysaccharide, xanthan, used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This polymer has also been implicated in several phases of the bacterial disease cycle. In this review, we summarise the current knowledge on the infection strategies and regulatory networks controlling virulence and adaptation mechanisms from Xanthomonas species and discuss the novel opportunities that this body of work has provided for disease control and plant health.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with defects in different parts of the immune system for an altered bacterial community assembly using a gnotobiotic system and found that the absence of the plant NADPH oxidase RBOHD caused the most pronounced change in the composition of the leaf microbiota.

Protective role of the Arabidopsis leaf microbiota against a bacterial pathogen
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic analysis of plant protection capabilities of the At-LSPHERE, which is a collection of >200 bacterial isolates from A. thaliana against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv.

TL;DR: The above-ground parts of plants are normally colonized by a variety of bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, which can be isolated from within plant tissues, but many more are recovered from the surfaces of healthy plants.

Genomic insights that advance the species definition for prokaryotes
TL;DR: The average nucleotide identity of the shared genes between two strains was found to be a robust means to compare genetic relatedness among strains, and that ANI values of approximately 94% corresponded to the traditional 70% DNA-DNA reassociation standard of the current species definition.
