Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Little is known about bacterial pathogens of cereals in Russia. To learn more about cereal bacteria, a survey of cereal crops in Russia was conducted in 2001. Over 300 samples of cereal plants with bacterial disease symptoms were collected for characterization of phenotypic and molecular traits and pathogenicity. Results revealed widespread occurrence of bacterial diseases of wheat, barley, and rye in different climatic zones of Russia. Basal glume rot of wheat (Pseudomonas atrofaciens) and black-chaff of wheat, barley, and rye (Xanthomonas translucens) were most common. Bacterial mosaic of wheat (Clavibacter michiganense subsp. tessellarius) was observed less frequently.
