The skin is a vital organ that covers the entire outside of the body, forming a protective barrier against pathogens and injuries from the environment. The skin is the body's largest organ; covering the entire outside of the body, it is about 2 mm thick and weighs approximately six pounds. It shields the body against heat, light, injury, and infection. The skin also helps regulate body temperature, gathers sensory information from the environment, stores water, fat, and vitamin D, and plays a role in the immune system protecting us from disease. 2, record 3, English, - skin

[A] disease condition caused by a variety of factors, including attack by fungal(Pythium, Phytophthora and Fusarium spp.) and bacterial(Erwinia spp.) pathogens, alone or in combination with adverse environmental conditions(i. e., chilling injury or heat stress). 4, record 4, English, - seed%2Dpiece%20decay
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Fusarium is the principle cause of seed piece decay, as it is present in almost all soils, in storage and on handling equipment. Seed pieces can be affected when the soil is too dry or too wet. Seed cutting allows for a point of entry for the pathogens that cause the disease. The entry of Fusarium allows other pathogens, such as Erwinia, to gain a foot hold. 5, record 4, English, - seed%2Dpiece%20decay

Fusarium est la cause principale de la pourriture du planton, car il est présent dans presque tous les sols, dans les entrepôts et sur l'équipement de manutention. Les plantons peuvent être affectés quand le sol est trop sec ou trop humide. Le tranchage des plantons crée un point d'entrée pour les agents pathogènes qui causent la maladie. L'entrée de Fusarium permet l'introduction d'autres agents pathogènes, tels que ceux du genre Erwinia. 2, record 4, French, - pourriture%20du%20planton

A physical allergy differs from other allergic reactions because the trigger is a physical stimulus. The physical stimulus can be cold, sunlight, heat, other stimuli that cause sweating(such as emotional stress or exercise), vibration, a minor injury(such as that due to scratching), or physical pressure.
