A simple/efficient way to add one additional xtick, and the corresponding xticklabel, to the existing xticks and xticklabels

What is a simple/efficient way to add one additional xtick, and the corresponding xticklabel, to the existing xticks and xticklabels (that are automatically displayed by matlab)?

For example, in the following x-axis, I would like to add the xtick "x=5" and the corresponding xticklabel "5":

plot(1:50)

plot(1:50)

new_tick = 5;

ax = gca();
ax.XTick = unique([ax.XTick new_tick]);
