On top of and underneath the leaves, roundish spots appear, which become irregular; the spots are brown-gray in color and velvety in texture. The leaves die prematurely, and the trees lose their foliage in summer. If there is very heavy infestation, at harvest time the apple skin will be defaced with large, corking cracks and numerous large, black spots (early scabbing), or the fruit has small brown to black spots, which are sometimes sharp but often also just lightly noticeable (late scabbing).

In laboratories of Bayer, scientists develop effective breeding methods for wheat. To achieve this, they perform extremely precise work: For example, the breeders use sterile tweezers to remove stamens from wheat ears. This process ensures that the plants cannot self-pollinate and that they can, therefore, be selective cross-bred.
