| Abstract/Contents: | "A male buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.) plant collected from Lee County, Texas, in October 1981 and grown at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in Dallas was found to be infected with a leaf smut fungus. The cylindrical sori (0.1-2.0 cm long, 0.5-1.0 mm wide) on the plant were covered by a thin gray membrane and filled with light to dark brown subglobose, minutely echinulate-roughed teliospores 8-12 um in diameter, including the sheath; sheath thickness ranged from 0.5 to 1.0 um. The sori ossurred on the abaxial leaf surface and on stolons. On the basis of these characteristics, we have identified the fungus as Ustilago buchloes Ellis and Tracy (1). Ustilago buchloes has been reported on Buffalograss in New Mexico and Nebraska but has not been previously reported to occur in Texas. Buffalograss is a major component of western Texas range-lands and is used extensively as a low-maintenance turfgrass. This note adds to the reported range of U. buchloes on Buffalograss to include areas of seed and sod production." |
