Abstract

A procedure has been developed for rapidly inoculating large numbers of turnip seedlings with Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, the causal agent of black rot of crucifers. Following mutagenesis bacterial mutants were isolated which showed altered pathogenicity. The mutants gave a range of responses on plants and some were impaired in their ability to grow in seedlings.
