Effect of Pathogens on Translocation of Water and Nutrient in The Host Plant

1. Introduction- Definition of pathogens, definition of translocation water and nutrient

2. Example of disease and symptoms; example of affected plant
3. Effect of pathogens on translocation of water and nutrient in the host plant; the process
that take part in translocation, the effect, and control
4. Conclusion

EFFECT OF PATHOGENS ON TRANSLOCATION OF WATER AND NUTRIENT IN THE

HOST PLANT
While pathogens infect plants in the course of their obtaining food for themselves, depending on
the kind of pathogen and on the plant organ and tissue they infect, pathogens interfere with the
different physiological function(s) of the plant and lead to the development of different
symptoms. Thus, a pathogen that infects and kills the flowers of a plant interferes with the ability
of the plant to produce seed and multiply. A pathogen that infects and kills part or all of the roots
of a plant reduces the ability of the plant to absorb water and nutrients and results in its wilting
and death.
