Description:	The increasing world population and food quality standards necessitate a better understanding of the mechanisms regulating physiological disorders in different crop species to improve crop production efficiency by reducing losses. Although many physiological disorders have been studied and described in the literature, a larger number of disorders still remain poorly understood and very little information is available about the regulating mechanisms as well as possible approaches to predict and control the incidence of physiological disorders. In addition, low precision in the description and identification of disorder symptoms can cause confusion because the same disorder can be described differently, or may not be the same disorder recognized by others. Misidentification of physiological disorders can lead to confusion in determining the mechanisms regulating their development in plants, emphasizing the importance of the precise characterization and identification of disorders.
