The Plant Diagnostic Lab at Auburn University receives plant problem/disease samples for diagnosis and soil samples for nematode analysis from all sections of the state. The Plant Diagnostic Lab at Birmingham receives predominantly horticultural samples for disease/problem diagnosis from Jefferson County and adjoining counties. Records from both labs are often used to document plant disease occ...

Plant diseases have become an important issue because they cause important reduction in each quality and amount of agricultural products. Automatic detection of plant diseases is an important analysis topic because it could significantly help in observation giant fields, and enable automatic detection the symptoms of diseases as soon as they appear on the plant leaves. In this paper an algorith...

Plant and human pathogens have evolved disease factors to successfully exploit their respective hosts. Phytopathogens utilize specific determinants that help to breach reinforced cell walls and manipulate plant physiology to facilitate the disease process, while human pathogens use determinants for exploiting mammalian physiology and overcoming highly developed adaptive immune responses. Emergi...
