Fusarium crown rot of wheat. Crown rot of wheat is caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium pseudograminearum. F. pseudograminearum is a member of the fungal phylum Ascomycota and is also known as Gibberella coronicola ( teleomorph ). It is a monoecious fungus, meaning it does not require another host other than wheat to complete its life cycle.
Root-crown temperature has been found to affect plant growth and physiology in a number of ways. Root crowns need to be exposed and 'breathe'; this is one way that some plants take in oxygen. A number of pests and diseases affect specifically this part of the plant, including root-crown rot (or root-crown fungus) [2] and a number of species of ...
Collar rot is a symptomatically described disease that is usually caused by any one of various fungal and oomycete plant pathogens. It is present where the pathogen causes a lesion localized at or about the collet between the stem and the root. The lesions develop around the stem eventually forming a "collar". Observationally, collar rot grades ...
Common root rot is a disease of wheat caused by one or more fungi. Cochliobolus sativus, Fusarium culmorum and F. graminearum are the most common pathogens responsible for common root rot. Symptoms. Small, oval, brown lesions on the roots, lower leaf sheath and subcrown internode.
Hosta ( / ˈhɒstə /, [5] syn. Funkia) is a genus of plants commonly known as hostas, plantain lilies and occasionally by the Japanese name gibōshi. Hostas are widely cultivated as shade-tolerant foliage plants. The genus is currently placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae, [6] and is native to northeast Asia ( China, Japan ...
Phytophthora cactorum has an extremely wide host range, and can infect over 200 species or 160 genera of trees, ornamentals, and fruit crops. [2] In general, P. cactorum is capable of infecting both young and old plants, and causes root rots and crown rots of the many genera it infects. Although the symptoms this pathogen produces varies ...
Colletotrichum cereale is a plant disease ( fungus) that has been found to cause crown rot anthracnose of turf grass most commonly occurring on golf courses (NC State 2012). Anthracnose can occur as both a foliar blight and basal rot (Penn State 2010). This disease attacks the crowns of plants, which is different than other anthracnose diseases.
Fusarium culmorum is a fungal plant pathogen and the causal agent of seedling blight, foot rot, ear blight, stalk rot, common root rot and other diseases of cereals, grasses, and a wide variety of monocots and dicots. In coastal dunegrass ( Leymus mollis ), F. culmorum is a nonpathogenic symbiont conferring both salt and drought tolerance to ...
