“…Normally, all plant parts are subjected to the attack, especially during warm and wet conditions. The disease is easily identified by discoloration of leaves and reddening of interior tissues as well as development of interrupted red and white patches on the stem at a later stage (Huang et al, 2018).…”

Southeast Asia is a fertile land with a warm and humid climate which tends to accommodate various food crops. The development and advancement of the agricultural sector not only allows the countries in the region to feed the increasing population, but are also able to boost the nation's economy through exportation of the crops. Some of the well-known and economically-significant plant commodities found in the region include rice, oil palm, rubber, coconut, banana, sugarcane, pineapple, black pepper, maize, cocoa, durian, and jackfruit. Due to the high production of crops, Southeast Asia is able to stand among the top world producers of these commodities. Nevertheless, the widespread of pathogenic microorganisms has posed a serious threat to the industry over the years; with hundreds of millions of money wasted and total yield being lost due to the devastating diseases associated with each type of the plants. A lot of attention and effort have been continuously devoted to find effective plant management strategies to combat plant diseases, starting from traditional physical and chemical methods to the increasing discoveries on biological approaches made in recent decades. Due to the challenges and limitations faced by conventional approaches and the rising awareness toward the environment, more work has been focused on establishing the application of beneficial microorganisms to tackle plant diseases through direct mechanisms. Thus, by bringing the common plant commodities in Southeast Asia, their associated diseases and various physical, chemical and biological control measures together, this review aims to provide clearer insights and practical information to those who seek to limit the damages caused by plant diseases.

“…Further, another disease caused by a bacterial pathogen in sugarcane, the leaf scald, is also a serious threat to the sugarcane industry as it severely affects the yield. The disease is mainly distributed in the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Java, Laos, Australia, and USA [30,31] but now it is the most important quarantine disease in Taiwan, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guangdong, and Hainan in China [32]. The leaf scald, also called leaf burning disease which is caused by Xanthomonas albilineans infects the xylem vessels of the sugarcane plant.…”

“…Recently, it is reported that it also invades tissues of leaves and culmus stalks, predominantly sucrose accumulating cells. Unlike other phytopathogenic bacteria, Xanthomonas albilineans lacks a type 3 HRP secretion system, a system that enables most bacteria Introductory Chapter: Bioengineered Sugarcane -A Sustainable Biofactory of Renewable Energy DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.97580 to overcome the defense mechanism of their host plants [32]. Yet, it is capable of invading other tissues, and developing symptoms in three stages namely; latent, chronic, and acute phases.…”
