Canker:This article is about the plant disease. For the human condition, see mouth ulcer. trees, and has no cure.Canker and anthracnose are general terms for a large number of different plant diseases, characterised by broadly similar symptoms including the appearance of small areas of dead tissue, which grow slowly, often over a period of years. Some are of only minor consequence, but others are ultimately lethal, and of major economic importance in agriculture and horticulture. Different cankers and anthracnoses are caused by a wide range of organisms, including fungi, bacteria, mycoplasmas and viruses. The majority of canker-causing organisms are tied obligately to a single host species or genus, but a few will attack a wider range of plants. Canker can be spread by weather and animals, making an area that even has a slight amount of canker hazardous.Some cankers are treatable with fungicides or bactericides, but many are not; often the only treatment available is to destroy the infected plant to prevent the disease from spreading to other plants.Some cankers:*Apple canker, caused by the fungus Nectria galligena*Ash bacterial canker, caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae*Butternut canker, caused by the fungus Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum*Citrus canker, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis*Cypress canker, caused by the fungus Seridium cardinale*Dogwood anthracnose, caused by the fungus Discula destructiva*Grape canker, caused by the water mould Eutypa lata*Honey locust canker, caused by the fungus Thyronectria austro-americana*Mulberry canker, caused by the fungus Gibberella baccata*Oak canker, caused by the fungus Diplodia quercina*Pine pitch canker, caused by the fungus Fusarium pini*Plane anthracnose, caused by the fungus Apiognomonia veneta*Poplar canker, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas populi*Rapeseed stem canker, caused by the blackleg fungus Leptosphaeria maculans*Rose cankers, caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria coniothyrium and Cryptosporella umbrina*Scleroderris canker, caused by the fungus Gremmeniella abietina*Willow anthracnose, caused by the fungus Marssonina salicicolaCategory:Plant pathogens and diseasesde:Baumkrebsfr:Chancre lt:Deguliaitr:Bakteri yaprak lekesi Capillaries 160754 16047950 2002-12-22T20:35:27Z Montrealais 3378 (From the Wikpedia article Canker.)
