Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to determine the "molecular identification of Rhizoctonia solania isolates pathogenic to turfgrasses using Universally Primed-Polymerase Chain reaction (UP-PCR) and nucleic acid hybridization analysis." Describes the experiment and the methods used, explaining that "we collected a total of 448 Rhizoctonia samples from 5 locations in northern Virginia and Maryland during the summer of 2008 and 2009."

USGA Summary Points:We have collected a total of 448 Rhizoctonia isolates from golf courses and lawns of Virginia and Maryland. Analyzing the rDNA-ITS sequence variations of 54 randomly sampled isolates, we found that majority (i.e., 61%) of the isolates belong to R. solani, while 22% belong to R. zeae/W. cercinata var circinata, and 17% belong to R. cerealis/Rhizoctonia-like fungi. Of the identified R. solani isolates in this study, majority belong to AG2-2IIIB and AG 1-1B. Genome fingerprinting of Rhizoctonia isolates using UP-PCR and AFLP techniques are in progress. Analyzing the two virulence-differentiated EST libraries, we have identified 532 and 495 unigenes of R. solani AG-4. Among several indentified genes are thsoe with possible roles as elicitors of disease, in cell wall degradation, avoidance of host and drug resistance and mating.
