| Abstract/Contents: | "Rapid blight is a disease on cool-season turfgrasses, caused by a microorganism known as Labyrinthula terrestris. Symptoms of rapid blight include water-soaked lesions and browning or bronzing of foliage that lead to yellowing and death of the infected turf. So far, eleven states in the US on both coasts have reported rapid blight, in addition to other countries including the United Kingdom, Spain and Argentina. Saline irrigation water and soil are favorable for disease causation. Rapid blight is more severe on salt-sensitive varieties of turfgrasses that are mostly cool-season turfs, such as rough bluegrass (Poa trivialis), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and colonial bentgrass (Agrostis tenuis). Labyrinthula terrestris is an unusual pathogen on turf; it belongs to a group of organisms commonly referred to as marine net-slime molds, which have been primarily known to cause diseases on sea grasses. Details of the host-pathogen interactions of Labyrinthula terrestris on turfgrasses have not been investigated. We are, therefore, documenting the infection processes and life cycle using light and electron microscopy to better understand the pathogenicity of this organism and, ultimately, apply these finding to provide better means of controlling rapid blight disease." |
