Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

1. Bacteria as plant pathogens -- 2. Bacterial structure and function -- 3. Taxonomy of plant pathogenic bacteria : classification, nomenclature and identification -- 4. Plant pathogenic bacteria in the environment -- 5. infection process -- 6. Compatible and incompatible interactions : the hypersensitive response -- 7. Bacterial virulence and plant disease -- 8. Genetical analysis of plant pathogenic bacteria -- 9. Disease control.

Bringing together bacterial structure and function, taxonomy, environmental microbiology, induction and development of plant disease, molecular genetics and disease control, Dr Sigee unifies the field, at the same time as emphasising exciting developments in cell and molecular biology. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, illustrated with numerous tables, diagrams and photographs.
