Abstract/Contents:"Perennial rye grass (Lolium perenne) is one of the most common grass species in fertilized grasslands under temperate climates and deserves diligent pest management. Even with the importance of L. perenne as a forage crop in the northeast there remains limited knowledge regarding the fungal pathogens associated with this crop as well as their distribution in the northeast. The main objective of this project was to characterize the fungal pathogens associated with L. perenne in the northeastern U. S. Isolates were recovered from symptomatic lesions on L. perenne across a range of locations from Pennsylvania to Maine over two growing seasons. In total, 65 isolates were recovered from 4 locations across the northeast. Isolates were identified based on morphological features as well as by sequencing the ITS region and comparing sequence data to known species in GenBank. To date ten species of fungi have been identified, including species of Colletotrichum, Drechsler, Fusarium, and Puccinia. Koch's postulates are currently being conducted to determine pathogenicity of all isolates recovered. This work represents one of the first assessments of the pathogen diversity associated with foliar disease symptoms of perennial ryegrass in the northeastern U. S. Future research will focus on determining the distribution and frequency of each of these species as well as evaluating host resistance in L. perenne in order to develop more efficient disease management strategies."
