This Research Topic is dedicated In Memoriam of Dr. Nicola Sante Iacobellis who contributed to the conception of this article collection † This Research Topic collects the selected contributions to the 14th International Conference on Plant Pathogenic Bacteria (14th ICPPB), “The Impact of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria on Global Plant Health”, which was held in Assisi (Italy) from July 3 to 8, 2022. Occurrence of bacterial disease in plant is the result of complex interaction between host, bacterium and environment. The mechanisms by which bacteria cause shifts in the biochemical and physiological processes required for the plant life cycle as well as the mechanisms by which hosts prevent or respond or defend against attack by bacteria are the central themes of this Research Topic.
Conference report concerning investigations of the leaf surface microlife. Attention is paid to the ecological succession of leaf surfaces, methods for the selection of antagonistic microorganisms, the role of nutrients in regulation of epiphytic bacteria populations and genetic manipulation of microorganisms for biological control
The study of plant-microbe associations by new techniques has significantly improved our understanding of the structure and specificity of the plant microbiome. Yet, microbiome function and the importance of the plant’s microbiome in the context of human and plant health are largely unexplored. Comparable with our human microbiome, millions of microbes inhabit plants, forming complex ecological communities that influence plant growth and health through its collective metabolic activities and host interactions. Viewing the microbiota from an ecological perspective can provide insight into how to promote plant health and stress tolerance of their hosts or how to adapt to a changing climate b...
