Abstract/Contents: | "Vegetatively-propagated Kentucky bluegrass plants (Poa pratensis 'Merion") were used to test the effects of systemic infection by Ustilago striiformis (Stripe smut) or Urocystis agropyri (Flag smut) on the growth of tillers and rhizomes of the host. Infection by either Ustilago striiformis or Urocystis agropyri significantly increased the number of tillers, total weight of tillers, and percentage of total biomass partitioned into tillers relative to healthy controls. Infection by Urocystis agropyri significantly reduced the number of rhizomes and total weight of rhizomes. In addition, compared to healthy controls, infection by either smut organism significantly reduced the percentage of total biomass partitioned into rhizome production." |
