Pathogenesis in Vascular Diseases of Plants

  • Conference paper
Vascular Wilt Diseases of Plants

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 28))

Abstract

Prokaryote and eukaryote vascular pathogens represent a wide but unique range of micro-organisms which exist in the host xylem during the pathogenic phase of the life cycle and from there induce symptoms of wilt and /or necrosis. The major fungal and bacterial species involved are shown in Table 1. The term ‘vascular pathogen’ has tended to be used synonymously with wilt pathogen. Where wilt symptoms represent a transitory phase of the disease however, and foliar necrosis is dominant, the list of organisms can be extended greatly to include species such as Xanthomonas campestris on Brassica olearacea, Erwinia amylovora on Pyrus and other hosts, and Stereum purpureum on Prunus. Several pathogens; Fusariurn formae, Ophiostoma ceratocystis, Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. insidiosus and Erwinia stewartii exhibit specificity in their natural hast range. Verticillium dahliae, V. albo-atrum and Pseudomonas solanacearum by contrast infect over 300 hast plants including many of the main field and plantation crops in temperate and tropical countries.
