23
Q

What is a sign?

A

visable precense of the pathogen

eg. fruiting bodys, mycelia

24
Q

What is a symptom?

A

physical expression of a change in the appearance and function of a plant

25
Q

pathogen

A

an agent that causes disease or illness to its host

26
Q

disease development is influenced by:

A
  1. environmental factors
  2. rate of pathogen reproduction
  3. mode of pathogen dispersal
  4. level of pathogen agressiveness
  5. level of host plant resistance
  6. external intervention - fungicides
27
Q

Disease can be categorized by:

A
  1. Pathogen type
  2. symptom type
  3. epidemiological progress
  4. timing of disease occurrence
28
Q

Fungi

A
  1. multi cellular (eukaryotic)
  2. sexual or asexual
  3. lack chlorophyll
  4. non vascular
29
Q

disease triangle

A
  1. pathogen
  2. host
  3. favorable environment
  4. time
30
Q

nematodes

A

microscopic worms

31
Q

Phytoplasmas

A

require vectors - leafhoppers, equipment

32
Q

viruses

A

dependant on living hosts and vectors (obligate)

33
Q

Bacteria

A
  1. single cellular organisms

2. multiply rapidly

34
Q

mycelium

A

vegetative body

branches called hyphae

35
Q

Deuteromycetes

A

Imperfect because they do not seem to have a sexual phase

36
Q

Infection process

A
  1. production of inoculum
  2. pre-penetration
  3. attachment of pathogen to host
  4. recogition between host and pathogen
  5. penetration
  6. infection
37
Q

Inoculum

A

Pathogen or its parts capable of causing infection when transferred to a favorable location

spores, mycelium, sclerotia etc.

38
Q

Penetration of host

A
  1. direct - fungi, netmatodes
  2. through wounds - fungi, bacteria, viruses
  3. though natural openings - fungi, bacteria
39
Q

infection

A

pathogen established contact with susceptible cells/tissues and gets nutrients from them

  1. invasion
  2. growth and reproduction
40
Q
