Abstract

Gummy stem blight, caused by the fungus Didymella bryoniae, is major disease of watermelons worldwide. The objective of the present study was to establish an efficient screening system to identify watermelon resistant to D. bryoniae. An GSB3 isolate was prepared from a watermelon plant showing typical symptoms of gummy stem blight in Haman-gun and identified as D. bryoniae based on molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer sequence. A simple mass-production technique of inoculum was developed based on spore production of D. bryoniae GSB3 under several incubation conditions and their virulence on watermelon plants. Resistance degrees of 22 commercial watermelon cultivars to the GSB3 isolate were evaluated. Among them, four watermelon cultivars showing different degree of resistance response were selected for further study. Development of disease on the cultivars according to various conditions including inoculum concentrations, incubation periods in dew chamber, and incubation temperatures was investigated. From the results, we suggest an efficient screening method for resistant watermelon cultivars to gummy stem blight. Seeds of watermelon cultivar are sown and grown in a greenhouse until plant stage of 2-fully expanded leaves. Seedlings are inoculated with D. bryoniae by spraying spore suspension of the fungus at a concentration of $5.0{\times}10^5spores/ml$. The infected plants are incubated in humidity chamber at $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours and then transferred to a growth chamber at $25^{\circ}C$ and 80% relative humidity with 12-hour light a day. Three to four days after inoculation, disease severity of the plant are measured using percentage of infected leaf area.

D. bryoniae에 의해 발생되는 덩굴마름병은 세계적으로 수박 재배에 주요한 병으로 알려져 있으며, 본 실험은 D. bryoniae에 대한 수박의 효율적인 저항성 검정법을 확립하기 위해 수행하였다. 함안 지역에서 전형적인 덩굴마름병 병징을 보이는 수박으로부터 GBS3 균주를 분리하였고 ITS 영역의 염기서열 분석을 통해 GBS3 균주는 D. bryoniae로 동정되었다. 다양한 조건에서의 포자 형성량과 형성된 포자의 5가지 생육 시기의 수박 유묘에 대해 병원력 차이를 조사하고, 이로부터 저항성 검정을 위한 간편한 접종원 대량 생산 방법을 확립하였다. 시판 중인 수박 22개 품종의 GSB3 균주에 대한 저항성 정도를 확인하고, 그 결과로부터 저항성 정도가 다른 수박 4개 품종을 선발하였다. 그리고 접종원 농도, 습실 처리 기간, 접종 후 재배온도 등의 발병 조건에 따른 이들 품종의 덩굴마름병 발생을 조사하였다. 이들 결과로부터 덩굴마름병에 대한 효율적인 수박 저항성 검정 방법으로 본엽 2엽이 충분히 전개된 수박 유묘에 $5.0{\times}10^5spores/ml$ 농도의 D. bryoniae 포자현탁액을 분무접종하고, $25^{\circ}C$ 습실에서 48시간 동안 배양 후에 항온항습실($25^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 80%)로 이동하여 하루 12시간씩 광을 처리하면서 재배하고, 접종 3-4일 후에 접종한 잎의 병반면적률을 조사하는 것을 제안하고자 한다.
