Leaf spots can vary in size, shape, and color depending on the age and type of the cause or pathogen. Plants, shrubs and trees are weakened by the spots on the leaves as they reduce available foliar space for photosynthesis. Other forms of leaf spot diseases include leaf rust, downy mildew and blights. [4]
Cucumber leaves afflicted with various stages of Cucumber mosaic virus. A mosaic virus is any virus that causes infected plant foliage to have a mottled appearance. Such viruses come from a variety of unrelated lineages and consequently there is no taxon that unites all mosaic viruses.
Specifically, CMV can cause cucumbers to turn pale and bumpy. The leaves of these plants turn mosaic and their rugosity is often changed, making leaves wrinkled and misshapen. Growth of these plants is usually also stunted and produces few flowers. Often, cucumber fruits are oddly shaped, appear gray, and tasted bitter.

[1] It is transmitted primarily by beetles, including the leaf beetle (Acalymma trivittata), spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata), [2] [3] and 28-spotted ladybird beetle (Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata), [1 ...
This plant may look like wildflowers, but it can cause painful rash and blistering. A video of an Iowa resident with the rash explains why.
In 1982, nurserymen at Brough, Humberside first discovered the disease on their cucumber plants. In May 1983, some plants showed chlorosis and occasional necrotic spots on leaves. By August of that year, nearly 50% of the 120,000 plants in the greenhouse were severely infected and over 60% had MNSV by October.
