b- Fire blight of Pear and Apple Disease name: Fire blight Plant: Pear, Apple Pathogen: Erwinia amylovora
Apple Symptoms: Brown, black blotches along midrib and between veins then curl and shrivel. Bacterial exudates (ooze) from apple fruit and stem. Bark turns brownish black and soft → shrinks and hardens
Pear Brown, blak blotches along midrib and between veins then curl and shrivel. Immature fruit become water soaked, then shrivel, turn black.
c- Black rot of crucifers Disease name: Black rot Plant: Crucifers Pathogen: Xanthomonas campestris
Symptoms: V-shaped chlorotic blotches at the margins of the leaves → chlorosis progress toward the midrib → affected area turn brown and dry. Cabbage and cauliflower heads are discolored.
3.Bacterial soft rots Bacterial soft rots of vegetables Disease name:Bacterial soft rots Plant:Vegetables ( potato, carrot,..), annual ornamentals (iris), succulent stems, stalk or leaves (cabbage, lettuce,..). Pathogen:Erwinia carotovora
Symptoms: Affected area becomes soft and mushy, the surface becomes discolored and depressed. Cracks develops the slimy mass exudates to the surface and turn brown. Cruciferous plants and onions give off repulsive odor.
A whole fruit or tuber may be converted into a soft, watery, decay mass within 3-5 days.
4.Bacterial galls Disease name:Crown gall Plant:Woody and herbaceous plants (> 60 families), mostly on pome and stone fruit trees, brambles and grapes. Pathogen:Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Small, round, whitish soft overgrowth on the stem and roots (mainly near the soil line) → the tumor enlarge and become brown (death and decay of peripheral cells). Some tumors are spongy while others become woody and hard. Symptoms:
5.Bacterial canker and gummosis a- Bacterial canker and gummosis of stone fruit trees Disease name:Bacterial canker and gummosis Plant:Stone fruit trees (apricot, pear,olive,…) Pathogen:Pseudomonas syringae
Symptoms: Bacterial canker: Formation of cankers girdled the trunk or branches. Within few week, the branch or entire tree above the canker die. Leaves show curling and turn yellow.
Gummosis: gum exudation

1.DodderCuscuta spp. Plant: alfalfa, onion, sugar beets, some ornamentals and potato. Parasite: Cuscuta spp.(dodder)
Symptoms: Orange or yellow strands around the stem and the other aboveground parts of the plant. The parasite enter their haustoria directly to the phloem of the host. During late spring and in summer, dodder produces clusters of white, pink or yellowish flowers. Infected host produce poor yield and may be killed by parasite.
2.WitchweedStriga spp. Plant: economic plants(corn, sugarcane, rice, cowpeas, tobacco, small grains,..) Parasite: Striga spp.
Symptoms: The parasitic roots are attached to the host ones by its root exudates → the root haustorium penetrates the host roots → the haustorium reach the vessels of the host roots, from which it absorb water and nutrients → infected host became stunted and chlorotic → wilt and die
