| Abstract/Contents: | "This project was proposed and initiated by Dr. Peter Day, Center for Agricultural Molecular Biology (AgBIOTECH) and Dr. Reed Funk, Department of Crop Science, Rutgers University. Dr. Jane Breen, the post-doctoral researcher began work on the project on 1st. April 1990, in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Wilson (Professor, AgBIOTECH). Our goals are: (a) to produce a germplasm collection of fungal endophyte-infected grasses concentrating on Poa and Agrostis species; (b) to produce a collection of unifungal endophyte cultures for both classical and molecular analysis; (c) to produce endophyte-specific DNA probes for sensitive detection of particular species and/or isolates of endophyte by nucleic acid hybridization techniques and by recently developed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification methods; (d) to use these and other molecular probes to characterize endophyte variability and produce RFLP maps as taxonomic aids in this field; (e) to develop gene transfer methods for fungal endophytes, as well as fungal transfer methods between different turfgrasses, to test for compatibility/incompatibility; and (f) to identify those genes responsible for insect repellant alkaloid biosynthesis and metabolism, particularly in beneficial endophyte-grass combinations. Including material collected recently using USGA-funds and acquisitions from Dr. Funk's turf breeding program, we now have a germplasm collection of multiple selections of fourteen species of endophyte-infected turfgrasses, including some bentgrasses and bluegrasses (Agrostis hiemalis, A. scabra, A. alba and Poa palustris, P. autumnalis, P. ampla), in addition to a number of tall fescues, perennial ryegrasses and fine fescues. Our endophyte collection includes multiple isolates of eight species of Acremonium fungal endophytes which infect a broad range of grasses. A DNA library has been developed from Acremonimum starrii, which will be used to provide probes for DNA 'fingerprinting' to evaluate and quantify genetic differences among endophytes, particularly in terms of those which confer insect resistance or have the ability to produce choke." |
