Features: This book is divided into twelve chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the basic content, history, current state, and prospects of plant pathogenic bacteriology; Chapter 2 introduces the principles of classification, the development and evolution of classification systems, and the characteristics of important genera; Chapter 3 introduces the relationship between bacterial cell structure and function, focusing on the connection with the characteristics of plant pathogenic bacteria and analyzing the features related to their pathogenicity; Chapter 4 introduces the ecology of plant pathogenic bacteria, elaborating on their survival mechanisms and their relationship with disease spread from soil transmission, phyllosphere ecology, and seed transmission, as well as their interactions with insects and nematodes; Chapters 5 and 6 introduce the pathogenic mechanisms of plant pathogenic bacteria from the aspects of physiology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics; Chapter 7 introduces bacteriophages and bacteriocins of plant pathogenic bacteria, clarifying their significance in the study of plant pathogenic bacteria and plant bacterial diseases; Chapter 8 mainly introduces the interaction between host plants and pathogenic bacteria from the aspects of identification and signal transduction; Chapter 9 briefly introduces the research progress on representative plant bacterial diseases; Chapter 10 introduces the disease resistance of plants to bacterial diseases, mainly focusing on plant bacterial diseases, elaborating on three aspects: disease resistance types, disease resistance genes, and defense response genes; Chapter 11 mainly introduces the research progress on genetic engineering of plant resistance to bacterial diseases; Chapter 12 introduces some issues in the control of plant bacterial diseases. This book serves as a reference for teachers and students of plant pathology, microbiology, and biotechnology in higher agricultural colleges and universities, as well as for a broad range of agricultural science and technology workers.
