Stemphylium solani is a plant pathogen fungus in the phylum Ascomycota. It is the causal pathogen for grey leaf spot in tomatoes and leaf blight in alliums and cotton, though a wide range of additional species can serve as hosts. Symptoms include white spots on leaves and stems that progress to sunken red or purple lesions and finally leaf ...
Gummy stem blight is a cucurbit-rot disease caused by the fungal plant pathogen Didymella bryoniae (anamorph Phoma cucurbitacearum). [1] Gummy stem blight can affect a host at any stage of growth in its development and affects all parts of the host including leaves, stems and fruits. [ 1 ]
Thirdly, plant morphology studies plant structure at a range of scales. At the smallest scales are ultrastructure, the general structural features of cells visible only with the aid of an electron microscope, and cytology, the study of cells using optical microscopy. At this scale, plant morphology overlaps with plant anatomy as a
It was mainly found on plant stems and leaves especially those grow in greenhouses or in similar environments. [2] [3] The colonies are white and hairy, form hoar-frost on affected plants. [4] [2] Botryosporium longibrachiatum causes diseases in plant species including sea-lavender, burley tobacco and sweet basil.
Numerous spots develop on the lower leaves, petioles, and stems. The disease produces small black spots on the leaves which eventually turn the leaf yellow, resulting in chlorosis and eventually cell death. [2] Spots are usually worse on older leaves. Stem lesions are dark brown to black and may cut the stem all the way around its surface.
The term "shoots" is often confused with "stems"; "shoots" generally refers to new fresh plant growth, including both stems and other structures like leaves or flowers. [2] In most plants, stems are located above the soil surface, but some plants have underground stems. Stems have several main functions: [3] Support for and the elevation of ...
Blumeriella kerriae is a plant pathogen specific to plants of the genus Kerria. It causes Kerria twig and leaf blight, a highly contagious disease native to the United States but until 2014 unknown to Great Britain. Symptoms include multiple red spots on leaves and lesions on the stems, resulting in defoliation and eventual death.
A view of an infected pepper . Colletotrichum capsici has a broad host range but prefers peppers, yams and eggplants. On chili peppers, Capsicum annuum L., C. capsici infect the stem, fruit, and leaves of the plant, causing anthracnose, die-back and ripe fruit rot.
