In the later stages of disease, the roots can become transparent and water soaked, and they eventually disintegrate. New roots that form will also become infected, turn pink, and then die. Infected plants start bulbing earlier than non-infected plants, and their leaf size and number are reduced. Seedlings that become infected can be killed.
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.
Pepper leaf curl virus (PepLCV) is a DNA virus from the genus Begomovirus and the family Geminiviridae.PepLCV causes severe disease especially in pepper (Capsicum spp.).It can be found in tropical and subtropical regions such as Thailand and India, but has also been detected in countries such as the United States and Nigeria.
Phytophthora capsici is an oomycete plant pathogen that causes blight and fruit rot of peppers and other important commercial crops.It was first described by L. Leonian at the New Mexico State University Agricultural Experiment Station in Las Cruces in 1922 on a crop of chili peppers.
It is a destructive disease of fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals found worldwide, and affects genera from nearly all the plant families. The bacteria mainly attack the fleshy storage organs of their hosts ( tubers , corms , bulbs , and rhizomes ), but they also affect succulent buds, stems, and petiole tissues.
Findings supporting border crossing for plant viruses into the invertebrate and vertebrate worlds [12] [13] Controlling the virus is important for pepper production worldwide, but recent research shows that this plant disease may be transmitted to humans. [14] [15] PMMoV is an indicator of fecal pollution in the environment.
