  abstract = {{T}he family {X}anthomonadaceae is a wide-spread family of bacteria belonging to the gamma subdivision of the {G}ram-negative proteobacteria, including the two plant-pathogenic genera {X}anthomonas and {X}ylella, and the related genus {S}tenotrophomonas. {A}dhesion is a widely conserved virulence mechanism among {G}ram-negative bacteria, no matter whether they are human, animal or plant pathogens, since attachment to the host tissue is one of the key early steps of the bacterial infection process. {B}acterial attachment to surfaces is mediated by surface structures that are anchored in the bacterial outer membrane and cover a broad group of fimbrial and non-fimbrial structures, commonly known as adhesins. {I}n this chapter, we discuss recent findings on candidate adhesins of plant-pathogenic {X}anthomonadaceae, including polysaccharidic (lipopolysaccharides, exopolysaccharides) and proteineous structures (chaperone/usher pili, type {IV} pili, autotransporters, two-partner-secreted and other outer membrane adhesins), their involvement in the formation of biofilms and their mode of regulation via quorum sensing. {W}e then compare the arsenals of adhesins among different {X}anthomonas strains and evaluate their mode of selection. {F}inally, we summarize the sparse knowledge on specific adhesin receptors in plants and the possible role of {RGD} motifs in binding to integrin-like plant molecules.},
