Abstract/Contents:"In the past fifty years, dramatic improvements have been made in breeding for disease resistance in cool-season turfgrasses. Significant breeding progress has been made for leaf spot (caused by Drechslera poae) and stem rust (caused by Puccina graminis) resistance in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), gray leaf spot (caused by Pyricularia grisea) resistance in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), brown patch (caused by Rhizoctonia solani) resistance in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and colonial bentgrass (Agrostis capillaris), and dollar spot (caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) resistance in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). There are some diseases for which significant improvements have not been made including red thread (caused by Laetisaria fuciformis) resistance in perennial ryegrass and pythium blight (caused by P. aphanidermatum and other Pythium spp.) in most cool-season turfgrasses. Historically, the dramatic improvements in disease resistance of the cool-season grasses have been attributed to traditional/conventional breeding techniques; however, it is likely that functional genomics and molecular techniques that identify specific genes and mechanisms involved in disease resistance will be significant in the development of cultivated turfgrasses in the future."
