Freezing Temperature Effect on Survival of Puccinia graminis subsp. graminicola in Festuca arundinacea and Lolium perenne

Host Range Differences Between Populations of Puccinia graminis subsp. graminicola Obtained from Perennial Ryegrass and Tall Fescue

Cool-season grasses are intensively cultivated for seed production in western Oregon, where stem rust is the most damaging disease on several species, including perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), annual ryegrass (L. multiflorum), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). Stem rust also occurs on seed crops of orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) and red fescue (F. rubra) in the region. The causal ...

Physical and genetic mapping in the grasses Lolium perenne and Festuca pratensis.

A single chromosome of the grass species Festuca pratensis has been introgressed into Lolium perenne to produce a diploid monosomic substitution line 2n = 2x = 14. In this line recombination occurs throughout the length of the F. pratensis/L. perenne bivalent. The F. pratensis chromosome and recombinants between it and its L. perenne homeologue can be visualized using genomic in situ hybridizat...

Ergovaline levels in cultivars of Festuca arundinacea

Demonstration of pathotype specificity in stem rust of perennial ryegrass.

Rust diseases cause significant damage in forage and seed crops of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), which is highly heterozygous and heterogeneous and thus presents difficulty in genetic analysis. There has been no definitive demonstration of the existence of pathotypes for stem rust or other rusts of perennial ryegrass, although experiments with crown rust (Puccinia coronata) of this host ...
