Abstract

Compilation of information from the literature and from our own results has revealed that Xanthomonas infections occur on at least 124 monocotyledonous and 268 dicotyledonous plant species. There are no reports about infections on gymnosperms or lower plants. No correlation has been found between the occurrence of the disease and systematic classification of the host plants. The host specificity of Xanthomonas species or pathovars is generally limited to one genus or some closely related plant genera. © 1984 The New York Botanical Garden.
