Abstract
In April of 2003 to 2004, the gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea on Hypericum ascyron was occurred in the exhibition field of Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, at Hamyang-gun in Korea. The disease symptoms were started with water-soaking lesions in stem and the infected plants became withered, discolored and died. The conidia and mycelia of the pathogen appeared on stems of infected plants. The conidia were 1-celled and mostly ellipsoid or ovoid in shape and their color was light gray. The size of conidia was $4{\sim}16\;{\times}\;3{\sim}8\;{\mu}m$ and that of conidiophores was $12{\sim}26\;{\mu}m$ respectively. The pathogen formed sclerotia abundantly on potato-dextrose agar. The optimum temperature for sclerotial formation was $20^{\circ}C$. Pathogenicity of the causal organism was proved according to Koch's postulate. The causal organism was identified as Botrytis cinerea based on mycological characteristics. This is the first report on gray mold of H. ascyron caused by B. cinerea in Korea.
2003년에서 2004년까지 4월 경남농업기술원 함양약초 시험포장 노지재배 중인 물레나물에서 이상증상이 심하게 발생하였다. 병징은 지제부위의 줄기 부분이 수침상으로 물러지고 썩으면서 병반부위에 회색의 곰팡이가 많이 생기고, 심한 경우 감염된 부위는 시들어 말라 죽는다. 분생 포자는 무색, 단포자이며 난형 또는 타원형으로 크기는 $4{\sim}16{\times}3{\sim}8\;{\mu}m$였고, 분생포자경 위에 분생포자가 아주 많이 형성되었다. 분생포자경은 갈색으로 격막이 있고, 폭은 $12{\sim}26\;{\mu}m$였다. 균사생육과 균핵형성 적온은 $20^{\circ}C$였다. 병원성 검정결과 코호가설을 충족시켰다. 병반에서 분리한 병원균의 균학적 특징을 조사한 결과 Botrytis cinerea Persoon: Fries로 동정되었다. Botrytis cinerea에 의한 물레나물 잿빛곰팡이병을 국내에서 처음 보고한다.
