This document discusses the various impacts of plant diseases on key plant processes. It summarizes that diseases can impact water absorption, translocation, and evaporation through issues like damping off, wilts, and rusts. Diseases also affect respiration by increasing plant respiration rates under pathogen attack. Pathogens influence translocation of organic compounds through formations like green islands and cankers. The document further outlines how pathogens impact cell walls, cell membranes, and growth through enzymes and toxins. Reproduction and transcription can also be disrupted by pathogens through their effects on DNA, RNA and protein production.
