Incompatible reactions between some plants and pathogenic bacteria.
Incompatible combinations of plant and plant bacteria produce an incompatible reaction at different rates, producing, besides the typical hypersensitive reaction, also darkening, yellowing, and fading. Plants differ in their responsiveness to plant bacteria in terms of reaction rate. Study of incompatible reactions may differentiate the species and strains of plant bacteria if properly explored.
