Abstract
Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea occurred on Astragalus sinicus in an experimetal rice field of Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services in Korea from 2008 to 2009. The symptoms appeared on the leaves, petiole and stems of infected plants. and then started with water-soaked, rotted and eventually died blight on plants. The colony were grayish brown and the optimum temperature for sclerotial formation was $20^{\circ}C$ on potato dextrose agar. The conidia were one celled, mostly ellipsoid or ovoid in shape, and were colorless or pale brown in color. The conidia were $7{\sim}16{\times}5{\sim}10{\mu}m$ in size and conidiophores were $14{\sim}28{\mu}m$ in length. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Botrytis cinerea Persoon: Fries.
2008년부터 2009년까지 경상남도농업기술원 논포장에서 Botrytis cinerea에 의한 자운영 잿빛곰팡이병이 발생하였다. 병징은 잎과 잎자루, 줄기 부분이 수침상으로 물러지고 부패되어 병반부위에 잿빛색의 분생포자가 많이 형성하였다. 균총은 감자한천 배지에서 회갈색이며 균사생육과 균핵형성 적온은 $20^{\circ}C$였다. 분생포자는 무색이고 단포자이며 난형 또는 타원형으로 크기는 $7{\sim}16{\times}10{\mu}m$이었고, 분생포자경의 폭은 $14{\sim}28{\mu}m$였다. 병든 부위에서 병정과 분리한 병원균의 균학적 특징을 조사한 결과, Botrytis cinerea Persoon: Fries에 의한 자운영 잿빛곰팡이 병으로 동정되었다.
