The American Phytopathological Society (APS) is a nonprofit professional, scientific organization dedicated to the study and control of plant diseases.
A disease caused by a smut fungus (Ustilaginales) in the Basidiomycota or the fungus itself; it is characterized by masses of dark brown or black, dusty to greasy masses of teliospores that generally accumulate in black, powdery sori.
Industry:Plants
Resistance which is effective against some biotypes or races of the pathogen, but not others, usually inherited monogenically and expressed qualitatively. (see general resistance, horizontal resistance, race-nonspecific resistance. )

Industry:Plants
The asexual, dikaryotic, often rusty-colored spore of a rust fungus, produced in a structure called a uredinium; the "repeating stage" of a heteroecious rust fungus, i.e. capable of infecting the host plant on which it is produced.
Industry:Plants
Several nucleic acids composed of repeating units of ribose (a sugar), a phosphate group, and a purine (adenine or guanine) or a pyrimidine (uracil or cytosine) base; transcribed from DNA and involved in translation to proteins.
Industry:Plants
A short, flattened, usually globose or disc-shaped, underground, perennial, storage organ composed of concentric layers of overlapping fleshy scale leaves attached to a stem plate at the base; essentially a subterranean bud.
Industry:Plants
Sugar polymers that contribute to the slimy appearance of bacteria probably promote colonization of plant tissues and disease development in bacteria.
Industry:Plants
Stalked, thick-walled, lobed cells that stick to plant surfaces; sometimes used to describe the infection structures produced by ectotrophic hyphae of certain root-infecting fungi such as Gaeumannomyces (take-all pathogen. )
Industry:Plants
Reproduction involving fusion of two haploid nuclei (karyogamy) to form a diploid nucleus followed by meiosis (reduction division) back to haploid nuclei at some point in the life cycle, resulting in genetic recombination.
Industry:Plants
Inhibition of fungal growth, sporulation, or spore germination but not death; used to describe the nonspecific phenomenon in natural soils where spore germination is inhibited and often overcome by rhizosphere nutrients.
