Alternaria black spots or blights in cruciferous crops have been devastating diseases worldwide and led to economic losses in broccoli, Chinese cabbage, kale, radish, rapeseed, etc. These diseases are caused by different Alternaria spp., including A. brassicae, A. brassicicola and A. raphani transmitted from infected seeds or insect vectors. Efforts to excavate disease resistance traits of cruciferous crops against Alternaria black spots or blights have been demonstrated. Genetic resource of disease resistance was investigated in the wild relatives of cruciferous crops, and different cultivars were screened under different inoculation conditions. Development of the disease-resistant lines against Alternaria black spots or blights was also tried via genetic transformation of the cruciferous crops using diverse plant defence-associated genes. Plant immunity activated by pre-treatment with chemicals, i. e. β-amino-n-butyric acid and melatonin, was suggested for reducing Alternaria black spots or blights in cruciferous crops. The disease resistance traits have also been evaluated in model plant Arabidopsis originating from different habitats. Various plant immunity-related mutants showing different disease responses from wild-type Arabidopsis provided valuable information for managing Alternaria black spots or blights in cruciferous crops. In particular, redox regulation and antioxidant responses altered in the Alternaria-infected mutants were discussed in this review.

This study was conducted to establish an efficient screening method for radish (Raphanus sativus) cultivars that are resistant to black spot, which is caused by Alternaria brassicicola. Seven A. brassicicola isolates were selected and investigated for their ability to produce spores and pathogenicity. Of these isolates, A. brassicicola KACC 40036 and 43923 produced abundant spores in V-8 juice agar medium and showed pathogenicity and strong virulence on radish seedlings. We examined the resistance of 61 commercial cultivars of radish to A. brassicicola KACC40036, and found that there are no highly resistant radish cultivars; however, some cultivars, such as 'Geumbong' and 'Searom', showed weak resistance to A. brassicicola. For further study, we selected four radish cultivars that showed different disease responses to A. brassicicola KACC40036. According to the growth stage of the radish seedlings, inoculum concentration, and incubation temperature of radish, development of black spot on four cultivars has been investigated. The results showed that younger seedlings were more sensitive to A. brassicicola than older seedlings, and the disease severity depended on the concentration of the spore suspension. The disease severity of plants incubated in humidity chamber at $25^{\circ}C$ was greater than that of plants grown at $20^{\circ}C$ or $30^{\circ}C$. Taken together, we suggest the following method for screening for radish plants that are resistant to A. brassicicola: 1) inoculate 16-day-old radish seedlings with an A. brassicicola spore suspension ($2.0{\times}10^5spores{\cdot}mL^{-1}$) using the spray method, 2) incubate the inoculated plants in a humidity chamber at $25^{\circ}C$ for 24 h and then transfer the plants to a growth chamber at $25^{\circ}C$ with 80% relative humidity under a 12 h light/dark cycle, and 3) assess the disease severity of the plants two days after inoculation.

Survey of sesame crop in the cultivators' field in the district of Daejeon, Yuseong, Sintanjin, Nonsan and Keumsan revealed that Alternaria and Corynespora blights of sesame were wide spread and caused severe damage to sesame plants. Symptoms of a new disease of sesame in Korea caused by Alternaria sesami were spreading, dark-brown to black, water-soaked lesions which often could be traced the entire length of the stem. In severe infections, several lesions coalesced together involving a major portion of the blade and the infected leaves dried and usually dropped off. Symptoms of Corynespora blight, caused by Corynespora cassiicola, were irregular shaped, concentrically-zoned, light brown to reddish brown lesions which later coalesced and caused defoliation. Stem lesions were long, reddish brown streaks that often coalesced, blighting the plants. The optimum temperatures for mycelial growth of A. sesami and C. cassiicola were about $27^{\circ}C$ and sporulations of these 2 fungi were stimulated under alternating light and darkness. Mycelial growth and sporulation of A. sesami and C. cassiicola were the greatest on sesame oatmeal agar (SOA) and potato dextrose agar (PDA), respectively.

One thirty one varieties of Groundnut were screened for search of multiple disease resistance against rust caused by Puccinia arachidis speg. and leaf spots caused by Cereospora arachidis Hori and Phaeoisariopsis personata . Out of these, 7 were resistant, and 11 were moderatly resistant. Percent disease severity and its' effect on yield was assessed.

This research was carried out to selection of desirable cultivar for organic cultivation of carrot in Korea. The assay of disease resistance, insect tolerance and rate of bolting were investigated on 32 cultivars of genetic resources of carrot. This experiment was carried out at experimental field and greenhouse of Gangneung-Wonju National University. 'PI 223360' was resistant against powdery mildew. Ten cultivars including 'Oxheart Carrot Heirloom' were moderately resistant, 22 cultivars including 'Long Impeator #58' were susceptible to powdery mildew. Although there was no resistant cultivar against black rot and leaf blight, our results showed that several cultivars have moderate resistance. Thirteen cultivars including 'Oxheart Carrot Heirloom' were having insect (Erythroplusia pyropia) tolerance and 'SA 102' and 'Scarlet Keeper Carrot Rare' were susceptible. According to the investigation of bolting, 6 cultivars including 'Hongsim Ouchon Carrot' were early bolting and 4 cultivars including 'Japanese Imperial Long Carrot' were moderate bolting. Other cultivars were identified as late bolting. From above results, we confirmed that 'Oxheart Carrot Heirloom' was suitable cultivar for organic cultivation among 32 genetic resources of carrot.
