✦ Synopsis

In this review, genetic variation has been reported in bacterial pathogens of Phaseolus vulgaris L., Xanthomonas phaseoli, Pseudomonas phaseolicola, Corynebacterium jlaccumfaciens, and Pseudomonas syringae based on degrees of virulence and cultural characteristics. P. phaseolicola, which was reported as consisting of 2 races, was found to comprise numerous strains. A correlation between appearance on special culture medium and virulence was reported for strains of X. phaseoli. Occurrence of strains of the bacterial pathogens complicates control through breeding and maintaining resistant cultivars.
