    Study Notes

    Plant Disease and Pathogens

    • Viruses reproduce asexually.
    • Aflatoxins are supposed to decrease in Europe.
    • Fusarium head blight of wheat is caused by a complex of fusaria, specifically Fusarium graminearum.
    • Ochratoxin A (OTA) is produced by Aspergillus ochraceous.
    • Predictive models can determine the probability, scale, timing, and performance of an event.
    • Symptoms appear during incubation.
    • Integrated Pest Management (IPM) includes environmental quality and the number of applications for chemicals.
    • A polycyclic pathogen has many cycles.
    • Infectious period ends when there is no more availability of secondary inoculum.
    • Aspergillus ochraceous produces Ochratoxin A (OTA).

    Pathogens and Disease

    • A biotic pathogen is infectious and transmissible.
    • Plant disease is a harmful deviation from natural functioning of physiological processes.
    • Prevalence of disease symptoms refers to a field or a geographic area.
    • Penicillium Verruacosum produces Ochratoxin (Ochratoxin A).
    • Mycotoxins are rated mainly in chronic risk.
    • Mycotoxins can be found in vegetal and animal products.
    • Posteriori analysis is used in empiric models.
    • Priori analysis is used in mechanistic models.
    • Viruses invade tissue intercellularly.

    Disease Management and Control

    • A monocyclic disease has one cycle of the pathogen for each cycle of the host crop.
    • Calendar control disease is based on a fixed number of sprays per crop.
    • Eradication is not based on agronomic practices.
    • An explanatory predictive model can be called mechanistic.
    • The principles of IPM include prevention, suppression, monitoring, and decision making.
    • IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management.
    • Yield loss due to pathogen is the highest in wheat.

    Plant Disease Impact and Diagnosis

    • Plant disease can impact on plant product quality and quantity.
    • Signs are visible on the lower leaf page when the disease is caused by Eryphise necator.
    • Parasites derive their food from a living organism.
    • Food safety and food security are related.
    • Heat treatments applied for pathogen eradication are based on steam and hot water.

    Organic Farming and Pathogen Dissemination

    • Final regulation for organic farming in EU was settled in 2007.
    • Fungal spores can be disseminated by wind and rain.
    • Xylem can be invaded by fungi and bacteria.
    • Bacteria reproduce asexually.
    • Virus genome can be multipartite.
    • Berry cracks are observed after grape infection by Botrytis fuckeliana.
    • Signs are structures of products of a pathogen usually visible in diseased plants.
    • Infectious period starts when the pathogen penetrates the host.
