Bacterial leaf stripe in maize
Maize leaf showing symptoms of bacterial leaf stripe (Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae). Initially, leaves develop several small, pale-green lesions. Under optimum weather conditions, lesions expand along veins producing a conspicuous striping, mainly in the youngest leaves; stripes later dry and brown, often with shredding of the infected leaf tissue.
