Symtoms Flashcards
yellowing of normally green tissues caused by inadequate light
Etiolation
yellowing caused by some factor other than light such as a virus or a mycoplasma
Chlorosis
the presence usually on leaves of variegated pattern of green and yellow shades with sharply defined border.
Mosaic
the variegated is less defined than mosaic and the boundaries of light and dark variegated areas are more diffused.
Mottling
the veins are translucent or pale while the rest of the leaf is its normal color.
clearing
may be due to an infectious agent or to lack of water. Wilting caused by the latter is often temporary and the plant recovers upon the application of enough moisture unless the drought is prolonged and the plants dies.
Wilting
the disintegration and decomposition of host tissue. A dry rot is a firm, dry decay whereas a soft rot is a soft, watery decomposition. Any plant part may suffer from rot such as fruit rot, stem-end rot, blossom-end rot, stalk rot and root rot.
Rotting
a localized necrotic area also referred to as a lesion. Individual spots may be circular, angular or irregularly shaped. Several spots may run together or coalesce forming large necrotic areas.
Spot
a localized necrotic area also referred to as a lesion. Individual spots may be circular, angular or irregularly shaped. Several spots may run together or coalesce forming large necrotic areas.
Spot
an extensive, usually sudden death of host tissue, such as leaf blight.
Blight
a perforated appearance of a leaf as the dead areas of local lesions drop out.
Shot-hole
an often sunken necrotic area with cracked border that may appear in leaves, fruits, stems, and branches.
Canker
• an infected fruit is converted to a hard, dry shriveled mummy.
Mummification
the host’s juices exude or leak out from soft- rotted portions.
Leak
a drying backward from the tip of twigs or branches.
Die-back
definite depressions or pits are found on the surface of fruit’s, tubers, and other fleshy organs resulting in a pocked appearance.
Pitting
shortening of the internodes of shoots and stems forming a crowding of the foliage in a rosette.
Resetting
premature falling of leaves, fruits and flower due to the early laying down of the abscises layer
Abscission
metamorphosis of petals, sepals and stamen or carpels into leaf-like structures.
