part 2 Flashcards
name the two infectious agents of diseases that are non cellular organisms:
virus
viroids
name the two infectious agents of diseases that are prokaryotic organisms:
bacteria and mollicutes (phytoplasma)
name the three infectious agents of diseases that are eukaryotic organisms
fungi, oomycetes, protozoa
true or false: viruses are obligate parasites
true
describe the plant virus cycle
- virus to host cell
2.Dna - replication
4assembly
5.release
6transmission
Many viruses are transmitted by
arthropods,. These examples of insects
and mites are referred to as …. of the viruses
vectors
T-f: virus can only be transmitted by insects, nematodes, fungi.
false:virus can be transmitted by insects, nematodes, fungi, mites and others plants (vegetative propagation)
T-F:Any plant that is vegetatively
propagated from a virus-infected
mother plant will also be infected.
True
T-F: virus infections of plants are currable
false, they are incurable
what means : infections of plants are systemic?
that they occurs throughout the plant
what are some control methods for viruses:
- Quarantine and surveillance
- Control of vectors
- Use of plant resistant varieties
- Use of clean certified seeds and plant
materials for propagation - Use of In vitro tissue culture for
propagation
wich of these symptoms is not a symptom of viral infections:Green and yellow mottling or mosaic,ringspots, color break on flowers,vein clearing(lighter than normal), veins banding (darker green areas follow the veins), mildew, stunting, leaf malformation or shoot proliferation
mildew is not a symptom
T-F witches broom is a symptom of viral infection
True
name some of viral infections symptoms:
Green and yellow mottling or mosaic,ringspots, color break on flowers,vein clearing(lighter than normal), veins banding (darker green areas follow the veins), stunting, leaf malformation or shoot proliferation
what are the smallest known agents
viroids
what are the general symptoms of viroids:
dwarf, epinasty deformation and creased (wrinkled) leaves
characteristic of prokaryotic organisms
their DNA is not coated by nuclear
membrane
