3 cats Flashcards
(31 cards)
abnormal appearance of reddish or purplish colouration on leaves or other organs
anthocyanescence
coppery colouration of epidermal tissues
bronzing
a developmental abnormality where chlorophyll does not fully develop in tissue
chlorosis
patchy variation of normal green colour
mosaic
Describing a variation similar to mosaic but with small discoloured spots
mottling
the development of green pigmentation in tissues or organs in which it is normally absent (e.g. flowers)
virescence
describing the gradual loss of green pigmentation in leaves or shoots (often used interchangeably with chlorosis)
yellowing
premature death of fully developed tissue (e.g. buds)
blast
death of young growing tissues, usually current seasons growth
blight
irregular spots on affected tissues
blotch
the sudden collapse of seedlings near the soil line
damping-off
the loss of foliage from a plant
defoliation
death of branches or shoots, beginning at their tips and spreading back toward the main stem or crown
dieback
a more or less regular patch of discoloured, raised or sunken tissue
leaf spot
tissue death and discolouration
necrosis
spots marked by conspicuous concentric rings of differing colour
target spots (ring spots)
sudden and rapid browning and shriveling of leaves between the veins and at the margins
scorch
the condition resulting from necrotic tissue in a leaf spot falling out of the leaf
shot-hole
the drooping of plants or plant parts as a result of loss of turgor in stems or leaves
wilting
a sharply defined abnormal growth on an affected woody stem
canker
abnormal differential growth during development, preventing normal leaf expansion (i.e. one side does not expand fully)
curling
abnormal leaf outgrowth
enation
paling and stretching of stems towards a light source
etiolation
abnormal proliferation of apical meristems in one plane, causing a flattening of growth
fasciation
