Blight
Blight refers to a specific symptom affecting plants in response to infection by a pathogenic organism. It is simply a rapid and complete chlorosis, browning, then death of plant tissues such as leaves, branches, twigs, or floral organs. Accordingly, many diseases that primarily exhibit this symptom are called blights. Several notable examples are: ⁕Late blight of potato, caused by the water mold Phytophthora infestans de Bary, the disease which led to the Great Irish Famine ⁕Southern corn leaf blight, caused by the fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus Drechs, anamorph Bipolaris maydis Shoemaker, incited a severe loss of corn in the United States in 1970. ⁕Chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica Barr, has nearly completely eradicated mature American chestnuts in North America. ⁕Fire blight of pome fruits, caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora Winslow et al., is the most severe disease of pear and also is found in apple and raspberry, among others. ⁕Bacterial leaf blight of rice, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae Dowson. ⁕Early blight of potato and tomato, caused by species of the ubiquitous fungal genus Alternaria
