The American Phytopathological Society (APS) is a nonprofit professional, scientific organization dedicated to the study and control of plant diseases.
A type of recombination, found in certain heterokaryotic fungi, that is based on mitosis rather than meiosis. Genetically distinct haploid nuclei fuse in the heterokaryon. The resulting diploid nuclei multiply by mitotic division, with some crossing-over, and a diploid homokaryon develops. During repeated mitotic divisions, chromosomes may be shed by the diploid nucleus to produce a haploid nucleus.
Industry:Plants
Regions of a DNA sequence that separate genes for certain ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs. ) These genes appear to be nearly identical among a wide variety of species, but the DNA spacers between them are quite variable and may be species-specific. This makes them good potential targets for "primers" for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification that is used to identify a wide variety of organisms. .

Pathogen transmission characterized by a long period of acquisition of the pathogen (usually a mollicute, e.g. phytoplasma or spiroplasma, and sometimes a virus) by a vector (typically an insect), a latent period before the vector is able to transmit the pathogen, and retention of the pathogen by the vector for a long period because the pathogen reproduces or replicates in the vector.

Industry:Plants
Any one kind of life subordinate to a genus but above a race; a group of closely related individuals of the same ancestry, resembling one another in certain inherited characteristics of structure and behavior and relative stability in nature; the individuals of a species ordinarily interbreed freely and maintain themselves and their characteristics in nature.
Industry:Plants
Injuries to plant tissues that often breach barriers (cuticle, bark, cell walls) that might otherwise exclude pathogens; some pathogens (e.g. viruses) can enter plants only through a wound; wounds may occur from natural growth processes, physical and chemical agents, animals (especially insects), and many human agricultural activities, such as pruning.
Industry:Plants
The coordinated development of parasites and their hosts based on degree-days and other environmental factors so that parasites can successfully infect their hosts, such as the production and release of ascospores of Venturia inaequalis, the apple scab pathogen, from fallen leaves from the previous season, when new apple leaves are expanding.
Industry:Plants
# A living organism (e.g., insect, mite, bird, higher animal, nematode, parasitic plant, human) able to carry and transmit a pathogen and disseminate disease.
# In genetic engineering, a vector or cloning vehicle is a self-replicating DNA molecule, such as a plasmid or virus, used to introduce a fragment of foreign DNA into a host cell.
