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.
Symptoms appear six weeks after aphids feed and transmit the virus. The aphid acquires the virus within seconds of feeding on an infected plant, either maize, Johnson grass, or sorghum. [7] There is no latent period for transmission to new host plants. [5] After acquiring MDMV an aphid is able to transmit the virus within 15–30 minutes. [7]
Lower leaves (older leaves) show symptoms first, since the plant will move nitrogen from older tissues to more important younger ones. [7] Nevertheless, plants are reported to show nitrogen deficiency symptoms at different parts. For example, Nitrogen deficiency of tea is identified by retarded shoot growth and yellowing of younger leaves. [8]
Corn grey leaf spot mature lesions are easily diagnosed and distinguishable from these other diseases. Mature corn grey leaf spot lesions have a brown, rectangular and vein-limited shape. Secondary and tertiary leaf veins limit the width of the lesion and sometimes individual lesions can combine to blight entire leaves.

Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) is a fungal disease of maize caused by the plant pathogen Bipolaris maydis (also known as Cochliobolus heterostrophus in its teleomorph state). The fungus is an Ascomycete and can use conidia or ascospores to infect. [ 1 ]
Aster yellows affects a long list of plant species including native plants, annual flowering plants, ornamentals, weeds, and vegetables crops. The largest family affected is the Asteraceae, and ornamental plants commonly infected are asters , marigolds , coreopsis , sunflowers, [ 4 ] and purple coneflower . [ 2 ]
[10] In certain corn varieties, kernels can be infected later in the growing season after flowering occurs. Although corn kernels can be a source of inoculuum, seed transmission is quite rare. [9] Commercial seed lots obtain phytosanitary certification for Stewart's Wilt by field inspection. The presence of the bacteria in the field at any ...
