First Report of Dollar Spot of Buffalograss Caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa in Oklahoma

Buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.) is a perennial, warm-season grass native to the central plains of North America and a dominant plant over much of the shortgrass prairie ecosystem. Its prostrate growth habit and excellent drought tolerance make it a commercially promising turfgrass...

520 |a Buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.) is a perennial, warm-season grass native to the central plains of North America and a dominant plant over much of the shortgrass prairie ecosystem. Its prostrate growth habit and excellent drought tolerance make it a commercially promising turfgrass species, and numerous turf-type cultivars have been released. In the spring of 2007, the southern plains states experienced prolonged periods of excessive precipitation during which numerous buffalograss swards throughout north-central Oklahoma exhibited symptoms of dollar spot (1). A fungus morphologically identical to Sclerotinia homoeocarpa Bennett was consistently isolated from diseased buffalograss leaves collected from three locations in Oklahoma, two from Payne County and one from Logan County. Thirty-day-old seedlings of B. dactyloides ('Cody' and 'Topgun') and Agrostis stolonifera ('SR1020') were inoculated by placing potato dextrose agar (PDA) plugs, colonized by mycelia of each S. homoeocarpa isolate, onto the seedlings' leaves. Sterile PDA plugs were placed on plants as controls. Leaf lesions developed after 4 days only on inoculated plants, and S. homoeocarpa was reisolated from lesions, satisfying Koch's postulates. The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was amplified from DNA extracted from cultures of the three buffalograss isolates and a bentgrass isolate using primers ITS4 and ITS5 (2) and sequenced. Sequences were similar to one another (97 to 99% identical), however, two isolates shared a 420-bp, type I intron in the 18S small subunit rDNA. A search of GenBank at NCBI found the ITS sequences were most similar to the ITS regions of other S. homoeocarpa accessions (97% identical). The ITS sequences from the four isolates were deposited in GenBank (Accession Nos. EU123800-EU123803). To our knowledge, this is the first report of dollar spot on a native, warm-season grass in the United States and the disease appears to be endemic to buffalograss in Oklahoma and Kansas (N. A. Tisserat, personal communication). References: (1) R. W. Smiley et al. Page 22 in: Compendium of Turfgrass Diseases. 3rd ed. The American Phytopathological Society, St. Paul, MN, 2005. (2) T. J.
