Abstract
In March of 2005, gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinereu on Stachys sieboldii Miq. was occurred in the mud cellar storage of Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Korea. The symptoms started with water-soaked and rotten in the tubers. The conidia were one celled and mostly ellipsoid or ovoid in shape and light gray in color. The conidia were $5{\sim}16{\times}4{\sim}12{\mu}m$ in size and the conidiophores were $14{\sim}30{\mu}m$ in length. The pathogen formed conidia and sclerotia abundantly on PDA. The optimal temperature for mycelial growth and sclelotia formation was $20^{\circ}C$. On the basis of symptom, mycological characteristics and pathogenicity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Botrytis cinerea Persoon: Fries. This is the first report on gray mold of S. sieboldii caused by B. cinerea in Korea.
2005년 3월경 경남농업기술원 움막저장고에서 저장중이던 초석잠의 덩이줄기에 이상증상이 발생하였다. 병징은 초석잠 덩이줄기 부분이 수침상으로 물러지고 썩으면서 병반부위에 회색의 곰팡이가 많이 생겼다. 분생포자는 무색, 단포자이며 난형 또는 타원형으로 크기는 $5{\sim}16{\times}4{\sim}12{\mu}m$였다. 분생포자경은 갈색으로 격막이 있고 나무가지 모양이며, 폭은 $14{\sim}30{\mu}m$였다. 균사생육과 균핵형성 적온은 $20^{\circ}C$였다. 초석잠에서 병징과 병원균의 균학적 특징, 병원성을 조사한 결과 Botrytis cinerea Persoon:Fries에 의한 초석잠 잿빛곰팡이병으로 동정하였다.
