In Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), Claviceps purpurea, the causal agent of ergot, typically releases ascospores during the early-morning hours, between about midnight and 10:00 A.M., corresponding to time of flowering, when the unfertilized ovaries are most susceptible to infection. During aeromycology studies of C. purpurea in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne)...

Nearly complete sequences of RNA-CP and 3'-proximal RNA-TGB were determined for 43 samples of potato mop-top virus (PMTV) originating from potato tubers and field soil from Sweden, Denmark and the USA. The results showed limited diversity and no strict geographical grouping, suggesting only a few original introductions of PMTV from...

Zebra Chip (ZC) was confirmed in the Columbia Basin potato production area of Oregon and Washington in 2011. This is a serious disease first documented in Saltillo, Mexico in 1994. In 2000 the disease was identified in South Texas and since then, ZC has been reported in Arizona, California, Colorado,...
Ergot, caused by Claviceps purpurea, is a major disease of perennial ryegrass grown for seed in eastern Oregon. The objective of this research was to quantify and describe the spatial patterns of ergot severity in each of three 50-ha commercial fields of perennial ryegrass grown for seed in 2012 and...
