Spot

 

any one of several diseases of agricultural plants characterized by formation of blotches of dead cells on leaves, stems, fruits, and other plant parts; a specific type of necrosis. Spots are caused by inadequate soil nutrition; air pollution; burns; and pathogenic fungi (most often, imperfect hyphomycetic fungi of the genera Ramularia, Cercospora, and Macrosporium and pycnidial fungi of the genera Septoria, Ascochyta, and Phoma; less commonly such perfect fungi as ascomycetes of the genus Pseudopeziza), bacteria (genera Pseudomonas and X anthomonas), and viruses.

The outward appearance of the spots is determined by the relationship between and the specific features of the parasite and the plant host. The causative agents, which usually spread throughout the tissues, encounter opposition from the plant host in the form of mechanical and chemical barriers. A mechanical barrier is caused by the formation of a cork layer on the boundary between healthy and diseased tissue; the cork localizes the focus of infection. For example, in drupaceous crops infected with the fungus Clasterosporium carpophilum or the bacterium Xanthomonas pruni, the affected tissue, after the formation of the cork layer, falls out together with the pathogen. Chemical barriers form owing to the accumulation in the affected cells and the cells adjacent to them of phenolic substances that are toxic to the parasite (specifically anthocyanins and products of their oxidation). If intrusion of the parasite is accompanied by a severe protective reaction of the plant, a small necrotic spot is formed and development of the causative agent is curtailed. When, however, the protective action is insufficient to localize the infection, the spots slowly enlarge (for example, macrosporiosis of potatoes, tomatoes, cotton; phomosis of sugar beet). Sometimes check zones in the form of concentric rings are readily observable on the spots.

When the causative agents are pathogenic fungi, there arise variously shaped and colored dry spots, upon whose surface one may observe the spore carriers of the fungus. Bacterial spots are characterized by the formation of tiny blotches surrounded by chlorotic aureoles; sometimes droplets of resin emerge on the spots (for example, gummosis of cotton). Spots produced by viruses are localized along the veins or form characteristic rings and designs. Their coloration may be red (with accumulation of anthocyanins), dark brown, gray, black (with accumulation of melanins), or white (with decolorization of pigments).

The resulting atrophy of parts of leaves, fruits, and stems decreases the photosynthetic surface of the plant and the plant’s productivity. With widespread infection, the spots merge. This may result in the mass falling of leaves and fruits and the drying of stems, significantly decreasing the yield of agricultural crops. In some cases, even a minor infection may bring great harm. For example, a single infection of an alfalfa petiole with the pathogenic ascomycete Pseudopeziza medicaginis close to the place where the leaf blade is attached leads to leaf fall. For a discussion of control measures against spots of agricultural plants seeBACTERIAL DISEASES OF PLANTS, VIRAL PLANT DISEASES, and FUNGAL DISEASES OF PLANTS.

spot 

A small, circumscribed area visibly different in colour or texture from the surrounding tissue.
baring of the 
blind spot A visual field defect in which there is such a marked contraction of the peripheral temporal visual field that it lies on, or nasal to, the blind spot. Although it may occur in open-angle glaucoma, it is not indicative of the disease as it also occurs in other conditions (e.g. miosis). See Bjerrum's scotoma.
Bitot's spot Foamy patch found on the bulbar conjunctiva near the limbus in xerophthalmia and due to vitamin A deficiency. Syn. Bitot's patch.
blind spot Physiological negative scotoma in the visual field corresponding to the head of the optic nerve. It is not seen in binocular vision, as the two blind spots do not correspond in the field. In monocular vision it is usually not noticed. It has the shape of an ellipse with its long axis vertical and measuring approximately 7.5º, whereas its shorter axis along the horizontal measures approximately 5.5º. Its centre is located 15.5º to the temporal side of the centre of the visual field and 1.5º below the horizontal meridian. Syn. blind spot of Mariotte; physiological blind spot; punctum caecum (Fig. S11). See myelinated nerve fibres; retinal image.
blind spot enlargement A visual field defect in which the blind spot appears larger than normal. One of the common causes is papilloedema.
blind spot esotropia; syndrome See Swann's syndrome.
cherry-red spot Bright red appearance of the macular area in an eye with occlusion of the central retinal artery, Tay-Sachs disease or Niemann-Pick disease. In the case of central retinal artery occlusion the surrounding area is white due to ischaemia but the reddish reflex from the intact choroidal vessels beneath the fovea shows at that spot since the retina is thinnest there. There is a very marked, if not complete, loss of vision which appears suddenly. In cases of storage disease (i.e. Niemann-Pick or Tay-Sachs), the area surrounding the fovea is artificially whitened and opaque, offsetting the normal pinkish colour of the fovea (Fig. S12). See Niemann-Pick disease; Sandhoff's disease; Tay-Sachs disease; retinal arterial occlusion.
cotton-wool s'spot See cytoid bodies; exudate.
Elschnig's s'spot Small, yellowish spots found in the fundus in advanced hypertensive retinopathy. They are choroidal infarcts caused by insufficient blood supply.
Fuchs'spot A round or elliptical, pigmented spot, usually located in the macular or paramacular area. It occurs in patients who have pathological myopia. It is due to breaks in Bruch's membrane (called lacquer cracks) and to the development of a choroidal neovascular membrane followed by subretinal haemorrhage which has changed colour and has become pigmented. The patient may notice photopsia when the membrane breaks but eventually it causes a loss of vision with a central scotoma. Syn. Forster-Fuchs spot.
Maxwell's spot Entopic phenomenon in which the subject can observe a dark or greyish spot in the visual field corresponding to this fovea. This is accomplished by viewing a diffusely illuminated field through a purple-blue or dark blue filter. (These are the best colours for this observation.) This phenomenon is used clinically to detect eccentric fixation by placing a fixation point in the diffusely illuminated field. The degree of eccentric fixation can thus be estimated by asking the subject to describe the position of the grey spot with respect to the fixation point. See entoptic image.
Roth's spot A small white spot consisting of coagulated fibrin seen in the middle of a retinal haemorrhage. It is associated with leukaemia, but it can be seen in subacute bacterial endocarditis, diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy and vascular conditions with capillary fragility.enlarge picture" >Fig. S11 Demonstration of the blind spotenlarge pictureFig. S11 Demonstration of the blind spotenlarge picture" >Fig. S12 Cherry-red spot at the maculaenlarge pictureFig. S12 Cherry-red spot at the macula

Patient discussion about spot

Q. after my husband and i have sex i have spotting and i have really bad cramps what could this be? A. Hmm... I can think about several options, but it's not wise to try to diagnose people over the net. I think that seeing a gynecologist would be appropriate in this situation.
Meanwhile you can read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynecologic_hemorrhage, http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/menstruation/a/bleedaftersex.htm and here http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bleeding-after-sex/AN01192)

Q. I would like to get more information about Alopesia Areata(hair losing,bald spots all over my head) Well the Alopesia Areata couses the hair falling in big spots all over the head,you start losing your hair in a diferent way than what it ussually is,the doctor told me there is treatment for it but it does not really works,he said that the only thing i can do is just wait between 6 and 18 months, and after all that time my hair should be growing back;but its so traumatic, tha i cant wait that long, i am only 25 years old , i have a life to live ,please help me,i know is not that bad but i cant help it, if anybody knows about some cure ,that really works , please let me know ,thanks.A. Alopecia Areata is considered lately as an auto immune disease , that means your body is attacking your hair. this considered beyond treatment. but there are several ways of handling it- local anti immunic treatment and so forth, here is a good site about it:
http://www.naaf.org/treatment.html

Q. what is a purple spot on penis A. could be some kind of hematoma- a bruise, blood vessels that bleed internally and caused a"papula". if you press it and it changes color to white- that could be it. if not, here are some more suggestions:
