A small outgrowth on the surface of a plant organ.
In field infections, the enations are very small and appear as gray streaks on the backs of the leaves. However, conspicuous enations appear on plants inoculated and reared in the glasshouse (Lindsten, 1961a; Catherall, 1970).
The generation of such an outgrowth.
Enation is characterized by the formation of very small, leaflike outgrowths — enations — from the lower surface of leaves, usually along the larger veins (fig. 116).
The property of being enate.
From Latin enatus (ēnātus) (from ēnāscor (“spring forth”)) + English + -ion.
