Black spot (class Leotiomycetes: family Helotiales) Diplocarpon rosae syn. Marssonina rosae – Marssonina rosae causes black spots on leaves. [4] The spots, which may be as much as 12 mm across, are generally circular and have an irregular edge often with a yellow halo. Leaves frequently turn yellow and fall early.
In more severe and advanced cases, lesions are found on the fruit, petioles, and stems. Leaves with lesions present typically fall off early in the growing season and it is common for seriously affected trees to be defoliated by midsummer. Leaves severely infected by the disease turn very yellow before falling off.
In systematic virus infections leaf spots caused by viruses show a loss of green colour in leaves, due to chlorosis which is a repression of chlorophyll development. [1] Leaves may yellow and have a mottled green or yellow appearance, show mosaic (e.g. chlorotic spotting) and ringspots (chlorotic or necrotic rings). [7]
The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours [2] or autumn foliage [3] in British English and fall colors, [4] fall foliage, or simply foliage [5] in American English. In some areas of Canada and the United States , " leaf peeping " tourism is a major contribution to economic activity.
Stroma is located in the black lesions of the infected leaves. [2] Conidiophores form non-infectious conidia that are released both in conditions of wetness and drought. [ 2 ] [ 7 ] The most favorable environment for the pathogen is when there is an extended period of moisture such as fog or rain, which prevents the leaves from drying out. [ 8 ]

Leaves of most plants include a flat structure called the blade or lamina supported by a network of veins, a petiole and a leaf base; [1] but not all leaves are flat, some are cylindrical. [ citation needed ] Leaves may be simple, with a single leaf blade, or compound, with several leaflets .
Another type of spore (ascospore) is generated in speck-sized black perithecia, which are produced at the edges of the leaf spots during autumn. In the spring, these ascospores are ejected from the perithecia and spread by wind or water to infect new leaf tissue. [8] Infected leaves that survive the winter can reinfect.
