An albino corn plant with no chlorophyll (left) beside a normal plant (right) In botany, chlorosis is a condition in which leaves produce insufficient chlorophyll.As chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of leaves, chlorotic leaves are pale, yellow, or yellow-white.
For best results, repot your plants in spring and choose a well-draining pot that’s just one or two sizes larger than the pot your plant is growing in. If the peace lily’s roots are tangled in ...
A young cabbage plant exhibiting nitrogen deficiency. Nitrogen deficiency is a deficiency of nitrogen in plants. This can occur when organic matter with high carbon content, such as sawdust, is added to soil. [1] Soil organisms use any nitrogen available to break down carbon sources, making nitrogen unavailable to plants. [1]
These are carotenoids and they provide colorations of yellow, brown, orange, and the many hues in between. The carotenoids occur, along with the chlorophyll pigments, in tiny structures called plastids, within the cells of leaves. Sometimes, they are in such abundance in the leaf that they give a plant a yellow-green color, even during the summer.

Etiolation / iː t i ə ˈ l eɪ ʃ ən / is a process in flowering plants grown in partial or complete absence of light. [1] It is characterized by long, weak stems; smaller leaves due to longer internodes; and a pale yellow color . The development of seedlings in the dark is known as "skotomorphogenesis" and leads to etiolated seedlings.
Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants. Plants have both stress-induced and age-related developmental aging. [1] Chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence reveals the carotenoids, such as anthocyanin and xanthophylls, which are the cause of autumn leaf color in deciduous trees. Leaf senescence has the important function of ...
Infection causes a black or grey sunken lesion with a characteristic yellow border. [1] [2] On the leaves of some plants, infection can cause dark, water-soaked spots. [3] The lesions can be observed anywhere on the plant. [1] In seedlings, fungal lesions on the stem are a cause of damping-off. [4] Infected seeds appear black or grey. [1]
