In this book, internationally acclaimed experts review the most important developments providing an invaluable, up-to-date summary of the molecular biology and genomics of plant pathogenic bacteria. The book opens with two chapters on bacterial evolution, diversity and taxonomy, topics that have been transformed by molecular biology and genomics analyses. The third chapter delves into the crucially understudied area of pathogen adaptation to the plant apoplast environment. The following seven chapters focus on specific plant pathogens: Agrobacterium, Leifsonia, Pectobacterium, Pseudomonas, Ralstonia, Xanthomonas, and Xylella. The next four chapters review specific, intensively studied areas of research in the plant pathogen field: microbe associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and innate immunity; use of bacterial virulence factors to suppress plant defence; cyclic di-GMP signalling and the regulation of virulence; and plasmids and the spread of virulence. The final chapter covers the critical area of bioinformatics. read more ...

Computational biology and bioinformatics form a major, integral part of genomics. From sequence fragment assembly, to gene prediction, to prediction of protein functions and structure, to identification of regulatory signals in DNA, to building phylogenetic trees, it would not be an exaggeration to state that genomics is primarily computational. Major new programs, software and internet facilities have evolved recently that facilitate computational analysis and more novel technologies are currently being developed. Written by experts in the field, this volume highlights research on the emerging, perhaps somewhat controversial, topics in genomics and shows the feedback between the new developments and the established methods of computational biology. An essential book for anyone involved in genomic science or bioinformatics. read more ...
