Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted by the United States Golf Association to "1. Transform O. korrae [Ophiosphaerella korrae] to express green (GFP) and red (tdTom) fluorescent proteins. 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 the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "transformants of O. korrae were generated and used to study infection and colonization of tissues of bermudagrass varieties differing in susceptibility." Reports that "notable differences in the rate and extent of plant cell colonization and necrosis by the fungus were observed, indicating a differential response among grasses to the fungus." Concludes that "this information will be used to enhance host plant resistance through traditional breeding efforts at Oklahoma State University."
