DISEASE: Bacterial blight (Angular leaf spot)

HOST: Cotton

Leaf with advanced stage of blight.

DISEASE: Bacterial blight (Angular leaf spot)

HOST: Cotton

Highly susceptible (left) and resistant (right) cotton cultivars. The black arm stage of the disease is the most serious and occurs when bacteria invade petioles and then stems.

DISEASE: Bacterial blight (Angular leaf spot)

HOST: Cotton

Characteristic early symptoms are water-soaked leaf spots and water-soaking along veins.

DISEASE: Bacterial blight (Angular leaf spot)

HOST: Cotton

Leaf with dark, angular leaf spots. Systemic invasion causes blackening of midribs.

DISEASE: Bacterial blight (Boll rot)

HOST: Cotton

Boll rot first appears as raised, water-soaked lesions, which become sunken and turn brown to black with time.

DISEASE: Bacterial blight (Boll rot)

HOST: Cotton

Infection of bolls causes premature opening and increased susceptibility to secondary, saprophytic microorganisms that cause rot. Note discolored cotton.

DISEASE: Bacterial blight and bacterial leaf streak

HOST: Rice

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (bacterial leaf streak) causes water-soaked streaks with yellow ooze (left side), and X. oryzae pv. oryzae (bacterial blight) causes brown streaks that have turned white (right side).

DISEASE: Bacterial decline

HOST: Papaya

Bacterial decline of papaya, historically called St. Croix decline, was thought to be caused by a fungus. This picture shows a papaya with dead top and side branches, a severe stage of the disease.

DISEASE: Bacterial decline

HOST: Papaya

Water-soaked papaya stem in St. Croix. Dark, water-soaked, greasy lesions occur on stems and leaves. The causal agent differs somewhat from descriptions of Erwinia papayae D strains in Micronesia.
