  abstract = {{I}n mid-{J}uly a workshop entitled the '{X}anthomonas {G}enomics {C}onference' took place at the stunning location of {P}ingree {P}ark, {C}olorado {S}tate {U}niversity, {USA}. {T}his meeting, which was supported this time round by {U}nited {S}tates {D}epartment of {A}griculture and {US} {N}ational {S}cience {F}oundation, was the third official workshop dedicated to the study of phytopathogens belonging to the species {X}anthomonas. {O}ne of the major goals of this meeting was to discuss the insight that comparative analysis of {X}anthomonas genomes has given both to an understanding of the ability of this important group of bacteria to exploit an extraordinary diversity of plant hosts and host tissues, and to the development of needed improvements in disease control and prevention. {I}n this report we give an overview of recent developments in this field that were presented during the meeting. {T}hese highlights included the unveiling of 11 new {X}anthomonas genomic sequences, structural and functional insights into the peptide {A}x21 elicitor, the first description of small non-coding {RNA}s in {X}anthomonas and the role they play in the regulation of virulence, as well as a description of novel type {III}-secreted effectors which target different hosts.},
