Over time, these blister-like bumps can change from brown to black, changing from urediniospores to teliospores. [6] The most common place to find these spores is on the plant leaf, but they can develop on husks, tassels, and stalks as well. P. sorghi has two hosts making it a heteroecious rust. Maize and Oxalis are the two hosts for P. sorghi.
The visible portion of the corn tends to be more or less round, but corns are defined by having a hard tapering root that is directed inward, and pressure on the corn pushes this root deeper into the flesh (thus the Latin term clavus meaning "nail"). Pressure corns usually occur on thin or glabrous (hairless and smooth) skin surfaces ...
Rust, common corn Puccinia sorghi: Rust, southern corn Puccinia polysora: Rust, tropical corn Physopella pallescens. Physopella zeae = Angiopsora zeae. Sclerotium ear rot Southern blight Athelia rolfsii: Seed rot-seedling blight Athelia rolfsii. Bipolaris sorokiniana Bipolaris zeicola = Helminthosporium carbonum Diplodia maydis Exserohilum ...
If infection of the shank occurs early enough the ear may be killed prematurely which causes the ear to drop. SCLB affected kernels will be covered in a felty, black mold, which may cause cob rot. [1] Ear rot is more extensive with Race T on T-cms corn. [8] Seedlings that become infected may wilt and die within a view weeks of the planting date ...
This ear of corn has been infected with Mycosarcoma maydis. The fungus infects all parts of the host plant by invading the ovaries of its host. The infection causes the corn kernels to swell up into tumor-like galls, wherein the tissues, texture, and developmental pattern are mushroom-like. The galls grow to 4 to 5 inches in diameter.

Phyllachora maydis is a plant pathogen causing ascomycete diseases in maize/corn, and is more commonly referred to as tar spot. [1] [2] Identified by the distinctive development of stroma, this pathogen in itself is of little economic importance in the production of corn.
Corn grey leaf spot can be an extremely devastating disease as potential yield losses range from 5 to 40 US bushels per acre (440 to 3,480 L/ha). At higher disease levels, even greater losses can result. When a corn plant's ability to store and produce carbohydrates (glucose) in the grain is diminished, yield losses take place.
