Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted during 2010 by Oklahoma State University and Ohio State University researchers to "(1) transform Ophiosphaerella korrae to express green (GFP) and red flourescent (tdTom) proteins" and "(2) compare and contrast infection and colonization of roots and stolons/rhizomes of resistant and susceptible interspecific hybrid, common, and African bermudagrasses by O. herpotricha and O. korrae that express fluorescent proteins." Details methods and materials used during the study. Highlights the effects of spring dead spot on bermudagrasses in the transition region of the United States, reporting that "the overall goal of this study is to enhance our understanding of the interaction between Ophiosphaerella species and different bermudagrass hosts." Concludes that "plant responses to fungal colonization appear variable across species and hybrids of bermudagrass," "confocal microscopy has revealed details of plant-fungus interactions not obtainable through traditional microscopy," and "the correct conditions to transform the fungus [O. korrae] have yet to be identified."

USGA Summary Points:Plant responses to fungal colonization appear variable across species and hybrids of bermudagrass, which is promising for the identification of resistant germplasm Efforts to transform O. Korrae are under way; but the correct conditions to transform the fungus have yet to be identified Confocal microscopy has revealed details of plant-fungus interactions not obtainable through traditional microscopy This information will be used to enhance host-plant resistance through traditional breeding efforts at Oklahoma State University
