USGA Summary Points: There is variation present in naturalized stands of the low maintenance species Danthonia spicata (Poverty grass), allowing for potential selection of superior plant types. A field trial of bentgrass germplasm, planted in Maryland, exhibited differences in response to dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa ) infection. Tall fescue plant introductions (PIs) inoculated with Rhizoctonia solani and R. zeae showed varying degrees of tolerance to both diseases. Miniature Inverted-repeat Transposable Elements (MITEs) show promise as an effective tool for diversity analyses and mapping in Agrostis species.
