Mutations across Diverse Domains of CjXDR1 Lead to Multidrug Resistance in .

Recently, has emerged as a significant pathogen threatening turfgrass, and its escalating resistance to multiple drugs often undermines field interventions. This study highlighted the critical role of the fungus-specific transcription factor CjXDR1 (formerly ShXDR1) in regulating multidrug resistance (MDR) in . This was demonstrated through experiments involving CjXDR1-knockout and CjXDR1-complemented strains.

A rapid real-time PCR assay for detecting Microdochium paspali causing sparse leaf patch on seashore paspalum and in environmental samples.

Background: Sparse leaf patch (SLP) is one of the most significant diseases affecting seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Sw.), caused by Microdochium paspali. Fast and accurate detection of this pathogen is crucial for effective disease management.

Comparative genomics and transcriptome analysis reveals potential pathogenic mechanisms of on seashore paspalum.

The sparse leaf patch of seashore paspalum ( Sw.) caused by seriously impacts the landscape value of turf and poses a challenge to the maintenance and management of golf courses. Little is known about the genome of or the potential genes underlying pathogenicity.

A one-step multiplex PCR assay for the detection and differentiation of four species of Clarireedia causing dollar spot on turfgrass.

Background: Dollar spot (DS) is one of the most destructive and economically important diseases of cool- and warm-season turfgrasses worldwide. A total of six species causing DS disease in the genus Clarireedia have been described, and four of them have been reported to be distributed countrywide in China. Identification of different species of Clarireedia is a prerequisite for the effective management of DS disease.

Genome Resources for Four Species Causing Dollar Spot on Diverse Turfgrasses.

Dollar spot (DS) is a destructive fungal disease impacting almost all warm- and cool-season turfgrasses worldwide. Multiple fungal species in the genus are causal agents of DS. Here, we present whole-genome assemblies of nine fungal isolates in the genus , including four species (, , , and ) causing DS on seashore paspalum ( Sw.

Distribution and Prevalence of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes of Turfgrass at Golf Courses in China.

We sampled 127 turfgrass soil samples from 33 golf courses in NC, EC, and SC for plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs). PPNs were extracted from soil samples using the shallow dish method and were identified at the genus or species levels with a combination of morphological and molecular methods. The results revealed 41 species of nematode belonging to 20 genera and 10 families.

: A New Species Is Associated with Dollar Spot of Turfgrass in Hainan, China.

The genus contains multiple species causing dollar spot (DS) on turfgrass worldwide. In November 2020, 119 isolates were obtained from symptomatic seashore paspalum at golf courses in Hainan province and identified to species level based on partial sequence of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. A total of 45 and 22 isolates were identified as and , respectively; the remaining 52 isolates defined a new clade.
