Abstract/Contents: | "Fungi were isolated from warm-season turfgrass in Florida with symptoms that differed from typical dollar spot, in that infection centers were larger in diameter, and affected grass had a distinctly lighter color. Isolates produced cultures with distinct substratal stroma morphology, size (0.5 2.0 mm), and pigmentation different than the dollar spot fungus, Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, but similar to descriptions of Poculum spp. To further differentiate and determine the phylogenetic placement of these presumed Poculum spp., we conducted a multi-locus sequence analysis with these isolates and the closely related species of Poculum henningsianum and S. homoeocarpa. Three loci commonly used for fungal speciation were subjected to neighbor joining and parsimony analyses and included ITS, *btubulin, and EF1α. Strongly supported lineages in the phylogenies were consistent with groupings of isolates based on morphological features. Seven out of eight isolates shared higher sequence identity to P. henningsianum (93.1%) than to S. homoeocarpa (84.7%), but one of the eight had a higher identity to S. homoeocarpa (93.8%) compared to P. henningsianum (86.9%). These data indicate the isolates belong to a previously undescribed species of Poculum closely related to S. homoeocarpa and P. henningsianum in the Rutstroemiaceae." |
