C Disorders

Disorder	Description
bacterial wilt	an occlusion and necrosis of the xylem tissue associated with invasion by plant pathogenic bacteria
banana freckle	freckle disease of banana, associated with either of the following genera of fungi that are pathogenic to plants or bananas— (a)   Guignardia spp.; (b)   Phyllosticta spp., other than Phyllosticta maculata M.H. Wong & Crous.
blight	a necrosis of leaf or stem tissue, with sudden onset, associated with a plant pathogenic bacterium (bacterial blight) or fungus (fungal blight)
canker	a sharply delineated necrosis or suberisation of the cortical tissue of leaves or stems, associated with a plant pathogenic bacterium or fungus
downy mildew	a necrosis or organoid gall of leaf or stem tissue associated with intercellular hyphae and emergent sporophores of a fungus of the family Peronosporaceae
ergot	an organoid gall of floral and ovule tissue associated with intercellular and extracellular hyphae and emergent sporophores of a fungus of the genus Claviceps Tul., order Hypocreales
fusarium wilt	an occlusion and necrosis of the xylem tissue, associated with plant pathogenic strains of a fungus of the genus Fusarium Link ex Fr., order Moniliales
gall	a swelling of tissue resulting from multiplication of cells (histoplasia), enlargement of cells (hypertrophy) or replacement with tissue of another organism, and associated with an intracellular or intercellular fungus, bacterium, phytoplasma, virus or mite
grey mould	a necrosis of leaf, stem or floral tissue associated with intercellular and extracellular hyphae or emergent sporophores of a fungus of the genus Botrytis Pers. ex Fr., order Moniliales, or Sclerotinia Fuckel, order Helotiales
mango malformation	an abnormal development of vegetative shoots and inflorescences of a mango plant, caused by several different species of Fusarium, including Fusarium mangiferae
mosaic (mottles or yellows)	a uniform or patchy variation of normal green colour associated with intracellular phytoplasm, virus or viroid infection
mutant plant	a plant with recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) acquired artificially or by natural transmission but having an undesired quality of increasing the weed potential of the plant or interfering with pest management programs
powdery mildew	a necrosis or suberisation of leaf or stem tissue associated with intracellular and extracellular hyphae and sporophores of a fungus of the order Erysiphales
rust	an organoid gall of leaf or stem tissue associated with intercellular hyphae, aeciospores, uredospores or teliospores of a fungus of the order Pucciniales
smut	an organoid gall of leaf, stem, floral or meristematic tissue associated with intercellular hyphae and chlamydospores of a fungus of the order Ustilaginales
spot	a localised necrosis or yellowing of leaf or stem tissue, associated with a plant pathogenic bacterium, fungus or virus
white blister	an organoid gall of leaf or stem tissue associated with intercellular hyphae, sporeangia, zoospores and oospores of a fungus of the genus Albugo, order Peronosporales
witches broom	a gall resulting in massed outgrowths of vegetative buds and associated with an intracellular or intercellular fungus, bacterium, phytoplasma, virus or mite
