| Abstract/Contents: | "Outbreaks of dollar spot disease, caused by the fungus Sclerotinia homoeocarpa F.T. Bennett, are a constant threat to warm- and cool- season turfgrasses worldwide. The disease is widespread and persistent, with more money spent on its control than any other disease affecting golf course turf. Surprisingly little is known about the diversity of S. homoeocarpa in natural populations and the pathogenicity factors that influence host infection and the course of disease. We identified seven distinct molecular groups of S. homoeocarpa using phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequence data drawn from eight standard molecular markers and 16 novel next-generation-sequenced markers. To learn more about the basis of diversification of these seven unique groups of S. homoecarpa, draft whole genome assemblies were generated from a representative isolate drawn from each molecular group. Sequenced fungal strains were originally isolated from four turfgrass hosts: Agrostis stolonifera L., Cynodon dactylon (L.) PErs., Festuca rubra L. and Paspalum vaginatum Sw. For comparison, draft who genome sequences were generated from two additional members of the Rutstroemiaceae family, Rustroemia echinophila (Bull.) Höhn. and R. sydowiana (Rehm) W.L. White. In this presentation, the genomes of these seven unique strains of S. homoeocarpa will be introduced and discussed. Whole genome scale comparisons were performed between (a) the genomes of the seven S. homoeocapra strains; (b) the S. homoeocarpa genomes and other fungal pathogens of turfgrass. Together these data provide a comprehensive profile of the genomic characteristics unique to the fungi responsible for turfgrass dollar spot disease, and provide insight into the unique genome profiles that differentiate these organisms on the molecular level." |
