A leaf spot is a limited, discoloured, diseased area of a leaf that is caused by fungal, bacterial or viral plant diseases, or by injuries from nematodes, insects, environmental factors, toxicity or herbicides. These discoloured spots or lesions often have a centre of necrosis (cell death). [1] Symptoms can overlap across causal agents, however ...
Cercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. Most species have no known sexual stage, and when the sexual stage is identified, it is in the genus Mycosphaerella. [2] Most species of this genus cause plant diseases, and form leaf spots. It is a relatively well-studied genus of fungi, but there are countless species not yet described, and there is ...
Alternaria leaf spot or Alternaria leaf blight are a group of fungal diseases in plants, that have a variety of hosts. [1][2][3] The diseases infects common garden plants, such as cabbage, and are caused by several closely related species of fungi. [4] Some of these fungal species target specific plants, while others have been known to target ...
Alternaria alternata is a fungus causing leaf spots, rots, and blights on many plant parts, and other diseases. It is an opportunistic [citation needed] pathogen on over 380 host species of plant. It can also cause upper respiratory tract infections [1] and asthma in humans with compromised immunity. [citation needed]
pollen-grains cohering by a waxy texture or fine threads into a single body; pollinium, e.g. in orchids. the tissue in the style of a flower through which the pollen tubes grow. The transfer of pollen from a male organ (such as an anther) to the receptive region of a female organ (such as a stigma). See pollen-mass.
leaf base. Triangular, wedge-shaped, stem attaches to point. cuneiform. whole leaf. Narrowly triangular, widest on the opposite end from the stem, with the corners at that end rounded. cuspidate. cuspidatus. leaf tip. With a sharp, elongated, rigid tip; tipped with a cusp.
Spilocaea oleaginea. Spilocaea oleaginea is a deuteromycete fungal plant pathogen, the cause of the disease olive peacock spot, also known as olive leaf spot and bird's eye spot. This plant disease commonly affects the leaves of olive trees worldwide. The disease affects trees throughout the growing season and can cause significant losses in yield.
Rosette – cluster of leaves with very short internodes that are crowded together, normally on the surface of the soil but sometimes higher on the stem. Rostellate – like a rosette (cf. rostellum). Rosulate – arranged into a rosette. Runner – an elongated, slender branch that roots at the nodes or tip.
