#1. These Swiss chard leaves have multiple infection sites, the dominant symptom of each is the water soaking. What group of pathogens is most commonly associated with this symptom?
The correct answer is:
Bacteria: It is common for bacterial infection sites to be water soaked. If a spot is water soaked there is strong probability bacteria are the cause, however, bear in mind that bacterial infections are not always water soaked.
The incorrect answers were:
Fungi: leafspots caused by fungi are very rarely water soaked.
Water moulds: despite the name, the downy mildews and Phytophthora do not cause water soaked lesions.
Viruses: mostly cause leaf distortion and mosaic patterns. They do not cause water soaking.
