title: Molecular biology of bacterial plant pathogens.
abstract: It is now possible to apply a range of genetic and recombinant DNA techniques to several plant-pathogenic bacteria, and the rapid growth of this area of research is expected to revolutionize our understanding of plant diseases. Some promising research strategies are discussed in this paper.
