In plant pathology, a lesion refers to a localized area of damage or abnormality on a plant's tissue, often resulting from disease, insect infestation, or environmental stress. Lesions can manifest as spots, blights, or cankers, and they often indicate the presence of pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, or viruses. The appearance and severity of lesions can significantly impact a plant's health, growth, and overall yield. Monitoring and managing lesions is crucial for effective plant disease management.

History of plant pathology in the Philippines?
Australasian Plant Pathology was created in 1972.
A local lesion host in plants refers to a plant species that exhibits localized symptoms, such as lesions or spots, when infected by a pathogen, typically a virus or fungus. Unlike systemic hosts, where the pathogen spreads throughout the plant, local lesion hosts confine the infection to specific areas, allowing for the observation of distinct symptoms. This characteristic is often utilized in plant pathology for studying pathogen behavior and host responses, as it provides a clear indication of infection without widespread damage to the entire plant.
British Society for Plant Pathology was created in 1981.
Australasian Plant Pathology Society was created in 1969.
Yes, although a more common phrase used is "normally abnormal" - in absolute terms the lesion described is abnormal but is it a commonly seen lesion that does not clarify or impact the diagnosis.
There isn't one. You have to wait for the pathology report to come back and code according to that.
A benign lesion refers to an abnormal growth of cells that are non-cancerous and do not spread to other parts of the body. While benign lesions are not typically harmful, they may still require treatment or monitoring, depending on the specific type and location of the lesion.
These are signs that helps you to localise a CNS pathology to a particular area of the brain eg. bradykinesia and dyskinesis allows a localisation of a lesion or pathology to the basal ganglia in the brain. Other well known lateralizing signs are ataxia, hyperreflexia etc
Pathology reports are not prepared when lesions are deemed benign and do not require further investigation or when they are too small to warrant analysis. Additionally, if a lesion is excised but not sent for pathological evaluation, or if the sample is insufficient for diagnosis, a pathology report will not be generated. In some cases, clinical judgment may lead to the decision that further testing is unnecessary.
