This list contains the names of
all plant pathogenic bacteria which have been effectively and validly
published in terms of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (Lapage
et al. 1992) and the Standards for Naming Pathovars (Dye et al. 1980)
and their revision (Young et al. 1991a). Included are species names
from the Approved Lists (Skerman et al. 1980), pathovar names
listed by Dye et al. (1980), and names of pathogens reported since
1980. In recent years the taxonomy of plant pathogenic bacteria has been
extensively revised. For several taxa, especially the Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas
syringae van Hall 1902 and Xanthomonas campestris (Pammel 1895)
Dowson 1939, these revisions are incomplete. For some taxa there are
several valid synonyms. Unless otherwise stated, the most recent name is
used as the reference name (in bold italic) to which all
other synonyms are referred. This does not mean that the reference name
here is always to be preferred. Alternative selections of valid names may
be considered to give a more coherent nomenclature. Alternative valid
names are listed in italic and cross-referenced to their reference
names; synonyms under a reference name are preceded by '='. Names that are
not considered valid are in italic, preceded by the symbol '['. Names
published since 1980 that are not considered valid have been included for
completeness, with an explanatory note. A few names that are not valid,
published prior to 1980, have been included for continuity. Where names
are published outside the International Journal of Systematic
Bacteriology, the reference is to the validating publication followed
by the reference in which the original description was published. Apparent
discrepancies between the publication dates of some species and their
pathovars arise because pathovars are referred to the original publication
but the species are referred to the validating publication in the International
Journal of Systematic Bacteriology. Some pathotype strains were
originally designated as pathotypes on the basis of earlier recommendation
as a type strain (Sneath & Skerman 1966). Subsequently it has been
reported that some of these may be unsuitable because they do not reflect
the pathogenic or other characteristics of the pathovar (Young et al.
1991a). These have been marked with an asterix '*'. This list is
accessible on the Internet (details to be supplied) and will be revised
annually. Interim corrections will be reported in association with the
list on the Internet. New names, corrections and queries should be
addressed to the Convenor, Sub-committee on Taxonomy of Plant Pathogenic
Bacteria, International Society for Plant Pathology.
