Abstract

As stated earlier there are eight bacterial diseases known to occur in wheat, these being bacterial streak and chaff (Xanthomonas translucense pv. undulosa), bacterial mosaic (Corynebacterium michiganensis subsp. tesselarius), white blotch (Bacillus megaterium pv. cerealis), pink seed (Erwinia rhapontici), stem melanosis (Pseudomonas cichorii), bacterial sheath rot (Pseudomonas fascovaginae), basal glum rot (Pseudomonas syringae pv. atrofaciens) and bacterial leaf blight (Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae). Some of the pathogens also cause diseases on other parts of the plant and are dealt with in the following Chapters. Out of these diseases, only a few are economically important or else have a wide host range and hence are described in the following pages. For other bacterial diseases the reader may refer to other publications like: McBeath (1993) and Maraite et al. 2007; Bockus et al. 2010).
