Abstract/Contents: | "Diseased seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum) turfgrass plants were first observed at a research greenhouse at the University of Georgia-Griffin campus. Symptoms included defined, small, circular to slightly oval black spots or black spots with yellow tissue on the periphery. Some spots coalesced and formed short delineated strips. Symptoms closely resemble those of tar spot described for other turfgrasses. Light and scanning electron microscopy revealed that clypei are oval in shape with a slightly raised center. Clypei erupt through the epidermis of the plant tissue. Masses of ascospores ooze through small ruptures in the clypei. Asci were cylindrical and arranged in a palisade formation with vegetative tissue dispersed throughout the ascocarp. Asci size ranged from 7 to 8 μ width x 48 μ to 51 μ in length. Ascospores surface is smooth, ellipsoidal and many of them have a slightly conical end. Ascospore size ranged from 5.7 to 7 μ in width x 10 to 11 μ in length. Grass clippings were taken from the infected source and inoculated into healthy seashore cultivars. Healthy plants of cvs. SeaIsle 2000, Aloha, Seaisle Supreme and an experimental line were successfully infected with tar spot. Clypei, ascocarp, asci and ascopore morphology and measurements correspond to those described for Phyllachora paspalicola (Syn: Phyllachora vaginata). To our knowledge this is the first report of tar spot on seashore paspalum in Georgia." |
