Abstract/Contents: | "Tall fescue has great utility as a low maintenance turfgrass in the northern and transition zone regions of the United States. A factor limiting tall fescue utility is its susceptibility to the pathogen Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, the causal agent of foliar brown patch. Chitinase activity has been positively correlated with resistance to R. solani in other plant species. A chitinase assay was developed for tall fescue. Three tall fescue cultivars with differing agronomic qualities and brown patch susceptibility as well as a resistant hybrid bluegrass cultivar were inoculated with R. solani in a greenhouse humidity chamber. Chitinase activity 48 hours after inoculation was negatively correlated with percent brown patch severity 10 days after inoculation. 'Jaguar' tall fescue was the most tolerant to R. solani and exhibited the highest chitinase activity before and after inoculation. No significant increase in chitinase activity was observed in the other tall fescue cultivars following R. solani inoculation. Identifying tall fescue cultivars expressing high amounts of chitinase activity could be important for developing brown patch-tolerant tall fescue cultivars." |
