Burnt like appearance. Blotch: large and irregular-shaped spots or blots on leaves, shoots, and stems. Canker: dead places on bark and cortex of twigs or stems; often discolored and raised or sunken. Chlorosis: yellowing of normally green tissue due to reduced chlorophyll content, such tissue is chlorotic. Conks: fungal fruiting structures formed on rotting woody plants (shelf or bracket fungi). Damping-off: destruction of seeds in the soil, or seedlings near the soil line, resulting in reduced stand, or the seedling falling over on the ground Decline: progressive, gradual weakening and death of a plant or population of plants Dieback: progressive, gradual weakening and death of individual branches of a plant, often leading to decline Distortion: malformed plant tissues Etiolation: When the loss of green colour is due to prolonged exposure to darkness the condition is called etiolation. Exudation: Masses of bacterial cell ooze out to the surface of affected plant parts and form some drops or smear, it is called exudation. Eradication: Complete removal of plant diseases (reduction to xero) Flagging: the loss of rigidity and drooping of leaves and tender shoots preceding the wilting of a plant. Fleck: a minute spot Galls: abnormal, localized swellings or tumors, on leaf, stem or root tissue Gum: complex of sugary substances formed by cells in reaction to wounding or infection Gummosis: production of gum by or in a plant tissue. Hyperplasia: It is the abnormal increase in size of the organ due to an increase in number of cells of organ (due to cell division). Hypertrophy: Increased size of organ is due to increase in size of cells (owing to nucleus division). Inoculum: amount of pathogen available for infection Leaf spot: a self-limiting lesion on a leaf Lesion: a localized area of discolored, diseased tissue Malignant: tissue that divides and enlarges autonomously, forming a tumor or gall Masked symptoms: virus-induced plant symptoms that are normally, but appear when the host is exposed to certain environmental conditions of light and temperature

Downy Mildew: The superficial growth of the pathogen is a cottony or downy layer of leaves surface. Downey mildew fungal genus plasmopara have obtuse sporangia and secondary and tertiary branches emerge at right angle. (AFO-2024) Powdery Mildew: Dusty or powdery appearance (growth) of fungus on upper surface of plants. Mosaic: symptom of certain viral diseases of plants characterized by intermingling patches of normal green and light green or yellowish colors Mottle: an irregular pattern of indistinct light and dark green areas Mummy: a dried shriveled fruit Mycelium: masses of fungal threads (hyphae) which compose the vegetative body of the fungus Necrosis: death of tissue Necrotic: dead or discolored brown to black Ooze: a mass of bacterial cells usually embedded in a slimy matrix appearing on the diseased plant surface, often as a droplet; or, a flux, a viscid mass of juices composed of host and parasite substances occasionally found exuding from a diseased plant Pycnidia: minute, usually globose and black, fungal asexual fruiting structures formed on plant surfaces Phyllody: It is a serious problem of sesame and pearl millet. Transformation of floral part in green leafy structure. Rhizomorphs: string-like strands of fungal mycelia sometimes found under bark of trees Ring spot: a circular area of chlorosis with a green center; a symptom of many virus diseases Rot: the softening, discoloration, and disintegration of succulent plant tissue as the result of fungal or bacterial infection Russet: brownish roughened areas on skin of fruit as a result of cork formation Rust: a type of disease caused by a specific group of fungi, often producing orange-red "rust" colored spores. Smut: Sooty or charcoal -like powder. Plant shows a black or purplish black dusty mass composed of the fungus spores particularly in ovulary part of floral organs. Scab: a roughened crust-like diseased area on the surface of a plant organ; a disease in which such areas form Sclerotia: tough structures produced by fungi for long-term survival. Scorch: burning of leaf margins as a result of infection or unfavorable environmental conditions Shot-hole: a symptom in which small diseased fragments of leaves fall off and leave small holes in their place

Example: Potato vein banding disease by Potato vein banding virus. Vein clearing: destruction of chlorophyll adjacent or in the vein tissue as a result of infection by a virus or other pathogen. Yellow network of veins is the major characteristics of vein clearing in okra. Wilt: loss of rigidity and drooping of plant parts generally caused by insufficient water in the plant. Witches' broom: broom-like growth or massed proliferation caused by the dense clustering of branches in woody plants. Yellows: a group of systemic mycooplasma-caused diseases often resulting in wilt, witches broom, or decline. Alternate host: is the host that help in the completion of the life cycle of the pathogen and its survival, belong to diff. family. Collateral host: host of the same family and help in the survival of the pathogen. Infection: Establishment of organic relationship between host and pathogen. Pathogenesis: Chain of events that takes place during the development of disease (inoculation to survival of the pathogen). Susceptibility: Inability of the host to resist the attack of the pathogen. Virulence: It is defined as the degree of pathogenecity of a particular isolate or race of the pathogen. Parasite: An organism that lives on or in another organism and obtains food from the second organism. Pathogen: Any entity that can cause disease in a host eg. Fungus, Bacteria, virus, Phytoplasma, Viroids, RLO’s, Parasitic Plants, Nematodes. Common Remedy for some diseases: Powdery mildew: Sulphur fungicide Downy Mildew: Metalaxyl Rust: Plantavax Smut: Vitavax
