Rice Blast

30 Jan 2022

Update

I scanned in my rice blast ink painting, removed some of the noise/ mess from the background, and removed the rice sheath leaf that I did not like. You can compare it with the original photographed image below.

Original Text

A photograph of the original, unedited, ink painting/drawing of rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae (syn Magnaporthe grisea).

Left: the painting shows a cluster of five rice leaves, with characteristic diamond-shaped elongated lesions. The lesions are brown, and surrounded by chlorotic yellow tissue.

Right: the painting shows a rice seed head. Some of the grains are reddish/brown or black, indicating infection. The internode below the inflorescence is brown, indicating that it has died due to infection.

I dislike how I did the shading for the leaf just below the inflorescence. It detracts and distracts from the symptoms.
