Plasticity in Plant-Growth-Promoting and Phytopathogenic Bacteria [electronic resource] / edited by Elena I. Katsy. - X, 208 p. 42 illus., 30 illus. in color. online resource.

Common Themes and Specific Features in the Genomes of Phytopathogenic and Plant-Beneficial Bacteria -- Ecology and Physiology of Non-Frankia Actinobacteria Associated with Actinorhizal Plants -- Boundaries for Conjugative Transfer of Rhizobial Plasmids: Restraining and Releasing Factors -- Phase Variation in Plant-Associated Pseudomonads -- Plasmid Rearrangements and Changes in Cell-Surface Architecture and Social Behavior of Azospirillum brasilense -- Genome Plasticity and Dynamic Evolution of Phytopathogenic Pseudomonads and Related Bacteria -- Genomic Flux in Xanthomonas Group of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria -- Genome Plasticity in Obligate Parasitic Phytoplasmas -- Comparative Genomics of Herbaspirillum Species.

Plasticity in Plant-Growth-Promoting and Phytopathogenic Bacteria brings together the expertise of a panel of researchers from around the world to provide comprehensive up-to-date reviews on the most interesting aspects of genomic and phenotypic plasticity in plant-beneficial and phytopathogenic bacteria. The book covers various topics, including common and specific features in the genomes of symbiotic, plant-growth-promoting, and phytopathogenic bacteria; regulation of conjugative plasmid transfer in rhizobia; genetic and phenotypic variability in plant-beneficial pseudomonads and azospirilla; genomic fluxes in phytopathogenic xanthomonads and pseudomonads; genome plasticity in obligate parasitic Phytoplasmas; comparative genomics of plant-growth-promoting and phytopathogenic Herbaspirillum species; horizontal gene transfer in planta and microevolution of plant-associated bacteria in the phytosphere. Plasticity in Plant-Growth-Promoting and Phytopathogenic Bacteria is recommended for all microbiology and plant biology laboratories.
