| Abstract/Contents: | "Among 25 male and 26 female buffalograss [Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] plants collected vegetatively in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma, in July 1986, one male plant was found to be infected with a covered smut. This plant developed floral parts with pistillate structures containing an ovary, ovule, and stigmas. The ovaries developed into sori filled with teliospores that were light chocolate brown to pale yellow and 18-20 um in diameter, including the sheath. Sheath thichness was 2.5 - 5.0 um with lighter colored spores tending to have thicker sheaths. Tubercles were 1.0 - 2.5 um long. Sori emitted a foul, fishy odor. On the basis of these characteristics, we have identified the fungus as Tilletia buchloeana Kell. & Swing. T. buchloeana has been observed only on male buffalograss plants and is the only species of Tilletia known to induce hermaphroditism in its host. T. buchloeana has been reported to occur in Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas but has not been previously reported to occur in Oklahoma (1), where approximately 30% of U.S. buffalograss seed is produced." |
