STRUKTUR ANATOMI DAN JAGUNG (ZEA MAYS L.) YANG TERSERANG PENYAKIT BERCAK DAN KARAT
ABSTRACT: Spot
and rust disease is a disease that most often attacks the leaves of the maize
plant (Zea mays L.) Both of these diseases are caused by a different type of
fungus infection that causes different symptoms. Symptoms of the disease,
indicated by morphological change of the anatomical structure. This research is
aimed at determining the anatomical structure of leaves of maize (Zea mays L.)
infected with the spot and rust disease. The research was carried out from
April to September 2014. The paraffin method is used in making preparations of
transverse incision of leaves (Zea mays L.) that were stricken with the spot
and rust disease. The result of the study showed a thickening of the epidermis
tissue, increase in mesophyll cells and decrease in xylem diameter of
transverse incision on the leaves of maized infected with spot and rust
disease. The rust disease caused most severe damage on the mesophyll and vessel
tissue.
