BRIEF AND PRECISE POINTS ON PLANT DISEASE DEVELOPMENT. IT MOSTLY FOCUSES ON HOW THE FACTORS AFFECT THE MICROBES AND THEN THEIR MICROBIAL EFFECT ON DISEASE DEVELOPMENT.
Cross protection occurs when infection of a plant with a mild or attenuated virus strain protects the plant from later infection by a more severe strain of the same virus. This was first demonstrated in 1929 with tobacco mosaic virus. It has since been used successfully to control diseases caused by citrus tristeza virus and papaya ringspot virus. There are two main mechanisms of cross protection - coat protein-mediated resistance, which involves blocking virus uncoating or replication, and RNA-mediated resistance, where excess mild strain RNA hybridizes to block replication of the challenge virus. While cross protection has proven effective for some diseases, there are also limitations such as yield loss, incomplete protection, and genetic instability of the protector virus.
Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are a diverse group of plant proteins that are produced in greater amounts when plants are infected by pathogens or exposed to stress. There are at least 14 families of PR proteins that differ in their functions, properties, and modes of action. Some key PR proteins include PR1, PR2, and PR3. PR1 proteins have antifungal properties and may disrupt fungal membranes. PR2 are β-1,3-glucanases that degrade fungal cell walls. PR3 are chitinases that break down chitin in fungal cell walls, weakening the walls and killing fungi.
This document summarizes information about ergot of bajra or pearl millet, a disease caused by the fungus Claviceps fusiformis. It affects many countries including India, where it is found in states like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. The disease appears at the flowering stage, producing pink honey-like secretions on spikelets that later form hard, brown sclerotia where grains would be. These sclerotia contain harmful alkaloids and can cause losses of up to 70%. Management strategies include using healthy seed, seed treatment, early sowing, crop rotation, removing infected plants, and fungicide sprays. Resistant varieties include RHR-

Red rot of sugarcane is caused by the fungus Colletotrichum falcatum. It was first identified in Java in 1893 and causes significant economic losses by reducing cane weight and sugar recovery. Symptoms include reddening of the stalk pith and small red spots on leaves. The disease spreads through infected soil and planting material. Management strategies include crop rotation, sanitation, resistant varieties, and hot water treatment of setts.

The document discusses plant disease epidemics and epidemiology. It defines an epidemic as a disease that spreads rapidly to many individuals within an area over a short time period. Epidemiology is the study of epidemics and the factors that influence them, including the interaction between hosts, pathogens, environments, and human activities. For an epidemic to occur, there needs to be a susceptible host, a virulent pathogen, and favorable environmental conditions over an extended period of time. The interaction of these components can be visualized using a disease triangle or tetrahedron model. Examples of historical epidemics that caused famines are discussed.
Diseases resistance and defence mechanismsRAMALINGAM K
This document summarizes plant resistance to pathogens and the mechanisms involved. It discusses two main types of resistance - horizontal (polygenic) and vertical (monogenic). It also describes various pre-existing and induced structural defenses plants employ, such as waxes, thickened cell walls, and formation of cork layers. Biochemical defenses include inhibitors, phenolics, phytoalexins, pathogenesis-related proteins, and systemic acquired resistance mediated by salicylic acid. Overall, the document provides an overview of genetic and physiological factors that determine a plant's ability to resist pathogens.
DEFENCE MECHANISM IN PLANTS AGAINST PATHOGENS (STRUCTURAL & BIOCHEMICAL) ansarishahid786
Plants have both structural and biochemical defense mechanisms against pathogens. Structural defenses include pre-existing traits like thick cuticles and presence of thick-walled cells, as well as induced responses like formation of cork layers and tyloses after infection. Biochemical defenses include pre-existing inhibitory compounds and enzymes, as well as induced responses like phytoalexins, hypersensitive response, and transgenic production of plantibodies after pathogen detection. Together these defenses provide multiple layers of protection against the wide variety of fungi, bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that plants encounter.
Resistance mechanism In Plants - R GENE SunandaArya
This document summarizes plant disease resistance mechanisms. It discusses R-genes, which confer resistance to pathogens by encoding proteins that recognize pathogen avirulence genes. The main classes of R-genes contain nucleotide binding and leucine rich repeat domains. Resistance occurs through gene-for-gene interactions between plant R-genes and pathogen avirulence genes. Additional resistance mechanisms discussed include the guard hypothesis where R-proteins interact with host proteins guarded from pathogen effectors, and pathogen associated molecular pattern recognition. The document outlines the structure, classes, and mechanisms of action of R-genes in plant pathogen interactions.
This document discusses disease forecasting models that use weather data to predict outbreaks. It provides examples of models for rice blast, potato late blight, wheat yellow rust, and more. The potato late blight model for India, JHULSACAST, is specifically discussed. Disease forecasting is useful for giving advance warning to apply protective chemicals before infection starts and help control economically important crop diseases. Both empirical and fundamental forecasting systems are covered, along with their components and requirements for developing useful forecasting.
This document discusses three major diseases that affect turmeric: leaf spot, leaf blotch, and rhizome rot.
Leaf spot of turmeric is caused by the fungus Colletotrichum capsici. It is the most important turmeric disease and can cause up to 62% yield losses. Leaf blotch is caused by the fungus Taphrina maculans and results in reddish-brown leaf discoloration. Rhizome rot is caused by the oomycete Pythium aphanidermatum and leads to soft, rotten rhizomes with brown discoloration. Management of these diseases involves field sanitation, fungicide sprays, and cultural practices like drainage and resistant varieties.
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a whole-plant immune response that is activated upon localized infection by a pathogen. It provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum resistance against secondary infections. SAR involves the production of mobile signaling molecules like methyl salicylate, azelaic acid, and glycerol-3-phosphate in infected tissues that activate defenses in distant, uninfected tissues. This results in increased expression of pathogenesis-related proteins and other defenses. The NPR1 protein is a master regulator of the SAR response.
This document discusses sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), a virus that infects sugarcane and other grasses. It was first observed in 1892 in Java and causes mosaic and necrosis symptoms. SCMV spreads through infected seed cane and aphid vectors like Rhopalosiphum maidis. Symptoms include chlorotic or yellow stripes on leaves that can lead to stunting and chlorosis of the entire plant. Management involves using resistant varieties, rogueing infected plants, and controlling aphid vectors through crop management.
1) Tomato Fusarium wilt is caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. It is specific to tomatoes and can cause 10-90% yield losses.
2) Symptoms include leaf chlorosis, wilting, and brown vascular streaking. Stems of infected plants show brown discoloration.
3) The fungus survives for over 10 years in soil or plant debris. Infection occurs through wounds and spreads systemically through the xylem. Warm temperatures and high nitrogen soils promote disease.
The document discusses Papaya leaf curl virus, a disease that affects papaya plants causing leaf curling and thickening of veins, which can lead to defoliation and stunted growth. The virus is transmitted by the silverleaf whitefly and can also spread through infected seeds, seedlings, and grafting material. Management strategies include removing and destroying infected plants, controlling the whitefly vector through insecticide sprays, and applying systemic insecticides to the soil.
Powdery mildew of grapes is caused by the fungus Erysiphe necator. It was originally found in eastern North America but was introduced to Europe in the 1800s. The disease spreads via airborne spores and infects leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits, covering them with a powdery white growth. Favorable conditions for infection are temperatures between 10-35°C and moderate humidity. The disease cycle begins with sexual reproduction, producing spores that infect hosts and continue the asexual cycle of reinfection. Integrated management includes fungicide application, proper pruning and training for airflow, and choosing resistant varieties.
Sorghum grain smut, caused by the fungus Sphacelotheca sorghi, is considered the most destructive disease of sorghum. It can reduce grain yields by up to 25% if left unmanaged. Symptoms appear at grain formation as individual grains are replaced by dirty white to gray smut sori. Management strategies include using disease-free seed, growing resistant varieties, seed treatment with fungicides like sulfur or Captan, crop rotation, and collecting and boiling smutted heads.

- Hypersensitivity is a plant defense mechanism characterized by rapid programmed cell death at the site of infection to prevent pathogen spread. It is initiated by the recognition of pathogen elicitors by plant resistance proteins.
- This triggers biochemical responses like reactive oxygen species production and phytoalexin accumulation that cause cell death around the infection site. This localized cell death limits the pathogen to a small area and prevents disease development.
- The hypersensitive response is an example of incompatible interactions between plants with specific resistance genes and pathogens with corresponding avirulence genes. It represents a successful defense strategy employed by plants.
This document provides an outline and overview of the causes of plant diseases. It discusses both abiotic factors such as nutrient deficiencies or toxicities, pesticide exposure, environmental pollutants, and extreme weather conditions. It also examines biotic factors including fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and phytoplasmas. Specific examples are given for each type of pathogen and the symptoms they cause in plants.

1) Plant pathology studies plant diseases and their causes and controls. Disease develops through interactions between pathogens, hosts, and the environment.
2) Key stages of disease development include inoculation, penetration, infection, pathogen growth and reproduction, and dissemination. Disease occurs when conditions are suitable for the pathogen but not the host.
3) Factors like temperature, moisture, light, soil properties, and wind influence disease development by affecting the pathogen, host, or their interaction. Understanding
How Plants defend themselves against pathogens.Zohaib Hassan
Plants have several defense mechanisms against pathogens. They have structural barriers like waxes and cell walls that inhibit pathogen entry. They also produce biochemical defenses like phenolic compounds, tannins and fatty acids that are toxic to pathogens or neutralize their toxins. Plant resistance is controlled by genes and can be polygenic involving many genes or monogenic involving a single resistance gene. Systemic acquired resistance allows plants to develop generalized resistance systemically in response to infection or chemical treatment.

Plant - Pathogen Interaction and Disease DevelopmentKK CHANDEL
Plant diseases are the result of infection by any living organisms that adversely affect the growth, development, physiological functioning and productivity of a plant, manifesting outwardly as visible symptoms.
Plants have evolved various defense mechanisms to protect themselves from threats like herbivores and insects. These include physical defenses like thorns, spines, and prickles as well as chemical defenses like milky latex, trichomes, and volatile organic compounds. Thorns are modified branches or stems with sharp points, spines develop from modified leaves or stipules, and prickles arise from the plant's epidermis. Other defenses include shrinkage, milky latex which is a poisonous aqueous secretion, trichomes which are hair-like epidermal projections that can be poisonous glandular or irritating non-glandular types, and volatile organic compounds like quisqualic acid produced by ger
Structural defence mechanism in plantsraichur agri
This document discusses structural and post-infection defense mechanisms in plants. Pre-existing structural defenses include waxes, cuticles, epidermal and sclerenchyma cells that form physical barriers against pathogens. Post-infection defenses are produced after infection, including histological barriers like cork layers and abscission layers that isolate the infection, and cellular defenses where invading hyphae are enveloped by the plant cell. Together these defenses provide plants with multilayered protection against fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens.
Plants have developed several induced biochemical defenses against pathogens. These include:
1. The hypersensitive response, which involves rapid cell death at the infection site to restrict pathogen growth. This is triggered by specific recognition of pathogen virulence factors.
2. The production of reactive oxygen species and antimicrobial metabolites directly kill pathogens. Defense genes are also induced to produce pathogenesis-related proteins.
3. A hypersensitive response ultimately limits pathogen growth to the initial infection site and induces systemic acquired resistance throughout the plant via signaling molecules like salicylic acid, making the plant more resistant to a wide range of pathogens.
RaxX is a tyrosine-sulfated protein secreted by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) that is recognized by the rice immune receptor XA21. Recognition of RaxX by XA21 triggers immunity against Xoo in rice. Recent research showed that RaxX is both required and sufficient to trigger XA21-mediated defense responses in rice. Sulfation of specific tyrosine residues in RaxX is required for its recognition by XA21.
Pathway studio plant rice blast webinar february 2015Ann-Marie Roche
Using inferred pathways relations to find mechanisms associated with a plant disease
Rice blast is a fungal infection that can devastate growing crops within 7-10 days. It can survive on seeds or in soil, subsequent crops can be infected.
Despite all attempts to fight this disease, rice blast still ravages yields. The use of fungicides extends the plant’s useful life, however, blast overcomes resistance within 1 to 2 growing seasons.
Analysis of rice response to blast infection can shed light on plant immunity and improve breeding decisions. This webinar will demonstrate how the utilization of Arabidopsis data in Pathway Studio helps further the understanding of rice blast defense mechanisms.
This document discusses disease resistance in rice. It provides information on common rice diseases like blast, bacterial leaf blight, brown spot, false smut, and rice tungro virus. It describes methods for breeding disease resistance like introduction, selection, hybridization, and biotechnology. Marker-assisted selection is discussed as a tool for pyramiding multiple resistance genes into a single cultivar. Sources of disease resistance and testing methods are also summarized.
Rice is one of the most important cereal crops, providing a staple food for nearly half of the global population. It is predominantly grown and consumed in Asia, where over 55% of the world's population lives. Rice production and consumption are expected to increase in the coming decades to support rising global population. Current rice research focuses on developing new varieties through biotechnology to improve yield, enhance nutritional value, and increase tolerance to environmental stresses like drought, salinity, and diseases. Transgenic techniques like Agrobacterium-mediated transformation allow introduction of novel genes into rice to generate stress-resistant and nutritionally fortified varieties.
This document summarizes induced plant resistance against pathogens. It discusses the historical background of induced resistance being first observed over 100 years ago. It describes different types of induced resistance including systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR). SAR is mediated by salicylic acid and involves pathogenesis-related proteins, while ISR is mediated by jasmonic acid and ethylene. Biological agents like PGPR bacteria and plant extracts can also induce resistance. Signal transduction pathways underlying these responses are triggered upon pathogen recognition. While induced resistance offers opportunities for crop protection, practical applications are currently limited to some plants.
This document summarizes plant defense mechanisms against pathogens. It discusses both structural and biochemical defense mechanisms. Structural defenses include pre-existing barriers like wax and cuticle layers, and defenses formed in response to infection like cork layer formation. Biochemical defenses include both pre-existing inhibitors and nutrients that inhibit pathogens, as well as induced defenses like phenolic compounds and phytoalexins produced after infection. The document provides examples of specific defense compounds and pathways in plants like chlorogenic acid, pisatin, and pathogen enzyme inactivation.

Signal transduction in plant defence responsesrkravikirankt
Plant respond to the attack of diseases by triggering various bio-molecules insider their system to combat the infection and establishment of the pathogens. these response operate in specified pathways mediated by many enzymes starting from the infection site to the nucleus which together constitute the signal transduction pathway.
Hypersensitivity and its Mechanism summarizes the hypersensitive response (HR) in plants. The HR is a localized cell death response at the site of infection that limits pathogen growth and provides resistance. It involves the recognition of pathogen elicitors by plant receptors, which activates a biochemical reaction cascade and the production of reactive oxygen species and defense compounds. This leads to cell death in infected areas and the acquisition of systemic resistance in other plant tissues through signaling molecules like salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene. The HR occurs through specific host-pathogen combinations and results in the depolarization of membranes and disintegration of cellular components at the infection site.
Bacterial blight is a serious disease of rice caused by the bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae. It causes wilting of seedlings and yellowing and drying of leaves. Bacterial blight is one of the most important rice diseases, and can cause up to 70% yield loss in susceptible varieties. Symptoms include yellow water-soaked lesions on leaves that develop whitish or grayish stripes and wavy margins. Management of the disease involves planting resistant varieties, maintaining good soil nutrition and drainage, removing weed and rice residue hosts, and allowing fields to dry.
Cellular signal transduction pathways under abiotic stressSenthil Natesan
Abiotic stresses, especially cold, salinity and drought, are the primary causes of crop loss worldwide. Plant adaptation to environmental stresses is dependent upon the activation of cascades of molecular networks involved in stress perception, signal transduction, and the expression of specific stress-related genes and metabolites. Plants have stress-specific adaptive responses as well as responses which protect the plants from more than one environmental stress. There are multiple stress perception and signaling pathways, some of which are specific, but others may cross-talk at various steps (Knight & knight ,2001).Many cold induced pathways are activated to protect plants from deleterious effects of cold stress, but till date, most studied pathway is ICE-CBF-COR signaling pathway (Miura and Furumoto,2013 ) . The Salt-Overly-Sensitive (SOS) pathway, identified through isolation and study of the sos1, sos2, and sos3 mutants, is essential for maintaining favorable ion ratios in the cytoplasm and for tolerance of salt stress (shi .et al ,2002). Both ABA-dependent and -independent signaling pathways appear to be involved in osmotic stress tolerance (Nakashima and shinozaki, 2013) .ROS play a dual role in the response of plants to abiotic stresses functioning as toxic by-products of stress metabolism, as well as important signal transduction molecules and the ROS signaling networks can control growth, development, and stress response ( Mahajan,s and Tuteja, 2005) .
Signal transduction pathways allow plants to perceive environmental and physiological signals and fine-tune their growth and development. Key components of plant signaling include receptor kinases, protein kinases and phosphatases that activate downstream responses. Plant hormones like auxin, jasmonate, and gibberellin regulate gene expression by promoting the degradation of repressor proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Feedback loops and cross-regulation between signaling pathways allow for integration of different signals and attenuation of responses over time. Long-distance signal transduction within the plant is facilitated by movement of proteins between cells.
The document summarizes plant defense mechanisms against pathogens. It discusses both structural and biochemical defenses. For structural defenses, it describes preexisting structures like cuticular wax, thick cuticles, and lignified cell walls that physically block pathogens. It also discusses defense structures that develop after infection, like cell wall thickening, callose deposition, and tissue necrosis. For biochemical defenses, it outlines preexisting inhibitors and lack of nutrients for pathogens. It also describes phytoalexins and other compounds produced after infection, such as phenolic compounds and substances that deactivate pathogen enzymes and toxins. The document provides several examples to illustrate different defense strategies in plants.
1) Pathogenesis is the development of a disease caused by an infectious agent like a microbe. It involves the microbe overpowering the host's defenses through steps like transmission, colonization, adhesion, invasion, survival, and tissue injury.
2) Microbes have various mechanisms that allow them to cause disease, including producing toxins or enzymes that damage tissues or avoid host defenses. They may also form protective capsules or adhere tightly to host cells.
3) The degree of pathogenicity or ability to cause disease depends on factors like infectious dose, routes of transmission, and virulence factors that help microbes overcome host defenses.
This document discusses several virulence factors that bacteria use to cause infection in hosts. It describes appendages like pili and fimbriae that aid in bacterial adhesion and colonization. It also discusses adhesins, which are cell surface components that specifically facilitate bacterial adhesion. The formation of biofilms is described, which protects bacteria from the immune system and antibiotics. Invasins are extracellular enzymes that bacteria secrete to invade host tissues by breaking down defenses. Spreading factors like hyaluronidase and collagenase further aid the spread of bacteria.
Morphological Resistance of Plants against plant pathogens.pptxmanohargowdabp
This document discusses morphological resistance mechanisms in plants against pathogens. It describes that plants defend themselves through structural characteristics and biochemical reactions. Structural defenses include pre-existing features like wax, cuticles, thick cell walls, and stomata shape. Post-infection structural defenses are induced, like cork layer formation, abscission layers, tyloses, and gum deposition that contain or isolate the pathogen. Cell wall defenses also morph to trap pathogens through swelling, thickening, or papillae formation. Overall, plants employ a variety of physical and induced structural changes to resist pathogen penetration and growth.

It then covers various requirements for bacterial pathogenicity like adhesion, invasion, multiplication, and tissue destruction. The document discusses several virulence factors like capsules, cell wall proteins, cytotoxins, fimbriae, biofilms, and exotoxins that allow bacteria to evade host defenses and cause disease. It also covers concepts like quorum sensing, bacterial secretion systems, and mechanisms of bacterial infection and colonization.
Bacteria---Introduction to bacteria.pptxAdikshaLende
Bacteria range from 0.2-2 micrometers in diameter and 2-8 micrometers in length. Their shapes include cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (helical). Cocci can be arranged as diplococci, streptococci, or staphylococci. Bacilli appear as single rods or diplobacilli. Spirilla have one or more twists. Bacterial structures include flagella, pili, capsules, cell walls, and endospores. Flagella provide motility while pili are used for attachment and DNA transfer. Capsules protect bacteria and aid attachment. Cell walls provide shape and protection while endospores
2. General characteristics of microbes (Microbiology)Jay Khaniya
This document defines and describes various types of microorganisms. It discusses that microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and protozoa. Bacteria can be pathogenic or non-pathogenic, and are classified based on shape, staining, metabolism and other characteristics. Viruses are intracellular parasites that infect host cells to replicate. Fungi reproduce asexually through spores or hyphae and can cause infections. Parasites like protozoa and helminths live in or on a host and are pathogenic.
Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that were historically classified as plants but are now recognized as a distinct kingdom. They differ from plants in that they lack chlorophyll and their cell walls contain chitin rather than cellulose. Fungi reproduce both sexually through the formation of spores like zygospores or basidiospores, and asexually through budding or the formation of conidia. Major groups of fungi include molds, mushrooms, and yeasts. Molds form branching filaments called hyphae that allow them to absorb nutrients, while mushrooms form visible fruiting bodies above ground. Yeasts are single-celled fungi that reproduce by budding.
This document discusses virulence and the mechanisms by which microorganisms cause disease. It defines virulence as the ability of a microbe to cause disease in a host. Microbes use various virulence factors and mechanisms to evade host defenses, enter and lyse host cells, including adhesion, colonization, invasion, inhibiting the immune response, and producing toxins. These virulence factors are often proteins encoded by genes that can be transferred between microbes. Targeting specific virulence factors and genes has been proposed as a strategy to combat bacterial infections.
Bacteria come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be spherical (cocci), rod-shaped (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), or slender and flexible (spirochetes). Some bacteria arrange in pairs (diplococci), chains (streptococci), or clusters (staphylococci). Bacterial cells have a cell wall, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and often flagella, pili, or a capsule. The cell wall provides shape and some protection, while the plasma membrane controls what enters and exits the cell. Bacteria can form tough endospores to survive unfavorable conditions. Understanding bacterial morphology is important for classification and identification.
This document discusses methods for cultivating viruses using cell culture. It explains that viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that cannot grow outside of living host cells. There are three main methods for cultivating viruses: inoculation into animals, embryonated eggs, or tissue culture. Tissue culture involves removing cells from an animal or plant and growing them in an artificial environment conducive to growth. The key steps are preparing a monolayer of cells, developing a clonal cell line, and then infecting the cells with the virus to be cultivated. Different cell types support growth of different viruses. Primary cultures, cell strains, and cell lines are discussed as classes of culture cells. Culture vessels and conditions are also outlined.
Bacteria are a type of biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats
Pathogenic mechanisms of microbes of medical importanceJoyce Mwatonoka
The document summarizes the pathogenic mechanisms of microbes that are medically important. It discusses key terms and outlines various mechanisms including adherence, invasion, evasion of host defenses, and toxigenesis. Specifically, it describes how bacteria adhere to host cells using adhesins and receptors. It also explains how they invade tissues using invasins like hyaluronidase and collagenase. Bacteria can evade host defenses by inhibiting phagocytosis and surviving inside phagocytes. Some vary antigens to avoid immune responses. Toxins including exotoxins and endotoxins are also discussed.
This document discusses innate immunity and the body's first lines of defense against infection. It describes how the epithelial surfaces provide mechanical, chemical and microbiological barriers. Phagocytes like macrophages and neutrophils play a key role by recognizing, ingesting and destroying pathogens. These cells use mechanisms like phagocytosis and generation of toxic molecules to kill invading microbes. However, some pathogens have evolved ways to avoid destruction by innate immune defenses.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. POST INFECTIONAL DEFENSE MECHANISM
(INDUCED/ACTIVE)
• Occurs once after the infection of a plant by a pathogen.
• The activation or induction of defense mechanism may be both specific and
non-specific type.
• Several structural changes are known to be induced by a range of biotic or
abiotic elicitors.
• These dynamic defense mechanisms prevent further colonization or spread of
pathogen.
• Four types of induced/active structural defense mechanisms,
• Histological defense structures
• Cellular defense structures
• Cytoplasmic defense structures
• Hypersensitive/ Necrotic defense reaction
4. HISTOLOGICAL DEFENSE STRUCTURES
• Even after the establishment of infection in plant cells, the host defense system
tries to create barriers for further colonization of tissues. This may be at various
levels.
1. Lignification
• Lignified cell wall provide effective barrier to hyphal penetration.
• They also act as impermeable barrier for free movement of nutrient causing starvation
of pathogen.
• Examples:
Radish: Peronospora parasitica, Alternaria japonica
Potato: Phytophtora infestans
Wheat: Septoria nodorum
Cucumber: Cladosporium cucumerium, Colletorichum lagenarium
Carrot: Botrytis cineria
5. 2. Suberization
• In several plants the infected cells are surrounded by suberized cells.
• Thus, isolating them from healthy tissue. corky layer formation is a part of
natural healing system of plants.
• Examples : Common scab of potato
6. 3. Abscission layers
• Gap between host cell layers and devices for dropping –off older leaves and
mature fruits.
• Plant may use this for defense mechanism also. I.E. To drop-off infected or
invaded plant tissue or parts, along with pathogen.
• Shot holes in leaves of fruit trees is a common feature.
• Occurred due to the infection of fungi, bacteria, and viruses.
7. 4. Tyloses
• Formed by protrusion of xylem parachymatous cell walls, through pits, into
xylem vessels.
• The size and number of tyloses physically block the vessel.
• The tyloses are inductively formed much ahead of infection, thus blocking
the spread of pathogen.
• It suggests biochemical elicitors and movement of tyloses inducing facto
(TIF) up the stem.
• Examples :
Sweet potato: Fusarium oxysporum f. Sp. batatas.
8. 5. Gum deposition
• The gums and vascular gels quickly accumulate and fill the intercellular
spaces or within the cell surroundings the infection thread and haustoria,
which may starve or die.
9. 6. Hyphal sheathing
• The fungal hyphae, which penetrate the cell wall are often unsheathed by
the extension of the cell wall.
• This delays contact between hypha and protoplasm.
• Later on, the hyphae penetrate the sheath and invade the lumen of the cell.
10. INDUCED CELLULAR DEFENSE STRUCTURES
• The cellular defense structures, I.E. Changes in cell walls, have only a limited
role in defense.
• Following types are commonly observed.
• Carhohydrate apposition (synthesis of secondary wall and papillae formation)
• Callose deposition (hyphal sheathing just outside plasma lemma around the
haustorium which delays contact of pathogen (Phytophythora infestans) with host
cells.
• Structural proteins
• Induced cytoplasmic defense that present last line of host defense and may effective
against slow growing pathogens, weak parasites or some symbiotic relationship.
11. CYTOPLASMIC DEFENSE STRUCTURES
• In a few cases of slowly growing , weakly pathogenic fungi that induce chronic
diseases or nearly symbiotic conditions , the cytoplasm surrounds the clump of
hyphae , and the nucleus is stretched to the point where it breaks in two .
• In some cells , the cytoplasmic reaction is overcome and the protoplast
disappears while fungal growth increases .
• In some of the invaded cells , however , the cytoplasm and nucleus enlarge .
• The cytoplasm becomes granular and dense , and various particles or structures
appear in it.
• Finally , the mycelium of the pathogen disintegrates and the invasion stops .
12. HYPERSENSITIVE/NECROTIC DEFENSE REACTION
• When the pathogen penetrates the cell wall, and establishes contact with the
protoplast of the cell, the nucleus of the cell moves toward the intruding
pathogen soon disintegrates forming resin-like brown granules in the
cytoplasm.
• Firstly, all the granules are formed around the pathogen and then throughout
the cytoplasm.
• Simultaneously the cell walls swell.
• As the browning of the cytoplasm continues and the necrosis is caused, the
invading hypha begins to disintegrate, and the further invasion of the pathogen
is stopped.
• Common in diseases caused by obligate fungal parasites, viruses and
nematodes.
• The necrotic tissue isolates the obligate parasite from the living substances and
