Bacteria frequently deploy a “quorum‐sensing” mechanism to facilitate successful colonization of plant tissue
#Id: 851
Quorum sensing in E. carotovora is mediated by N‐acyl homo serine lactones,
#Id: 852
Xanthomonas oryzae secretes a highly conserved sulfated peptide called Ax21, which mediates quorum sensing by controlling Xanthomonas motility, biofilm formation, and virulence.

Phytoplasmas are specialized bacteria that are obligate parasites of the phloem tissue
#Id: 854
Phytoplasmas are mainly spread by insects in the families Cicadellidae (leaf hoppers), Fulgoroidae (plant hoppers), and Psyllidae.
#Id: 855
Xylem‐colonizing bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is transmitted by various species of Homalodisca in the family Cicadlellidae.
