Bacterial pathogens of Gramineae principally belong to the genera Clavibacter, Erwinia, Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas , the last being the most important. A general survey of these pathogens is given, with details on nomenclature, symptoms, natural host range, geographical distribution and potential quarantine significance for the EPPO region. The status of Xanthomonas campestris pathovars with overlapping broad and narrow host ranges on Gramineae is discussed. It is proposed to adopt a broad concept of X. campestris pv. translucens and evaluate it as a potential quarantine hazard for the EPPO region.
