Each chapter focuses on the genomics of particular bacteria: the first described plant pathogen, \u003ci\u003eErwinia amylovora\u003c\/i\u003e; phytoplasmas lacking cell walls; fastidious, phloem-restricted liberibacters; \u003ci\u003ePseudomonas syringae\u003c\/i\u003e, which is a genetically tractable model system; \u003ci\u003eXanthomonas citri\u003c\/i\u003e, which causes a disease that can devastate citrus crops and \u003ci\u003ePseudomonas fluorescens\u003c\/i\u003e, which can protect plants from diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics considered in this volume include the importance of horizontal gene transfer in originating new bacterial strains and species and advances in transcriptomics that allow us to describe the complex regulatory networks critical to plant-microbe interactions. The availability of the \u003ci\u003eXanthomonas oryzae\u003c\/i\u003e genome has led to new technologies in genome editing, which will revolutionize approaches to genetic engineering, even in eukaryotes. The contributions show how genomics has greatly accelerated progress toward understanding the biology of these bacteria and how that understanding can be translated into novel crop protection methods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-07-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642553776\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-55378-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 278\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47410577834124,"sku":"9783642553776","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642553776.jpg?v=1775838126","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783642553776","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
