This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance of heat-treated wood using the catalyst to decay caused by fungi for sapwood and heartwood of two tree species, Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) and Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi), respectively. Wood samples were immersed for 10 min in sulfuric acid (7.5%) and then heat-treated at $130^{\circ}C$ for 90 min. Fomitopsis palustris, a brown-rot fungus, was used to examine the decay resistance of Korean red pine and Japanese larch wood. Weight and density of wood from the all conditions increased after heat treatment using the catalyst. Weight loss after decay resistance test was also dropped with a heat treatment. The lowest weight loss indicated at heat-treated heartwood of Japanese larch. Heat treatment using the catalyst effectively increased the resistance of wood to decay caused by fungi.

무 시들음병에 대한 저항성 검정 체계를 확립하기 위하여 실험하는 과정에서 병원균인 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. raphani가 무 유묘에 독성(phytotoxicity)을 일으키는 독소(phytotoxin)를 생산한다는 것을 발견했다. F. oxysporum f. sp. raphani KR1 균주는 여러 배지 중 malt extract broth 배지에서 배양하였을 때 그리고 $25^{\circ}C$에서 14일 동안 150rpm으로 진탕배양하였을 때 가장 많은 독소를 생산하였다. 무에 대한 독성 반응을 이용하여 F. oxysporum f. sp. raphani의 배양액으로부터 phytotoxin을 분리하였다. 그리고 Mass와 NMR Spectroscopy 분석을 통하여 이 화합물은 fusaric acid로 동정되었다. 독소의 역할을 규명하기 위하여 fusaric acid를 무, 양배추, 브로콜리 등 F. oxysporum f. sp. raphani의 기주 및 비기주 배추과 작물에 대한 독소 활성을 조사하였다. Fusaric aicd는 무 유묘에 대하여 농도 의존적으로 활성을 보였으며, F. oxysporum f. sp. raphani에 대한 감수성 품종뿐만 아니라 저항성 품종에 대해서도 유사한 정도의 독성을 나타냈다. 그리고 F. oxysporum f. sp. raphani가 생산하는 fusaric acid는 병원균의 비기주 배추과 작물인 양배추와 브로콜리에 대해서도 강한 활성을 보였다. 따라서 이들 결과는 이 독소가 병원성 관련 독소이나 비기주 특이적 독소이며, 무 시들음병 저항성 검정에서 이 독소가 제거된 포자현탁액을 접종원으로 사용해야 한다는 것을 나타낸다.

잿빛곰팡이병균(Botrytis cinerea) 51균주를 국내 여러곳에서 분리 또는 확보하여 이들 균주의 기주, 형태적 특성, 약제저항성 및 polygalacturonase 활성을 조사하였으며, 분리 기주별로 병원성을 포함한 이들 특성의 상호관계를 조사하였다. 분리된 균주들은 모두 흰색, 엷은 회색 또는 짙은 회색의 균총색을 보였고, 균주에 따라 균핵과 포자형성량이 달랐다. 병원성 검정에서는 토마토, 오이, 딸기로부터 분리된 균주들의 오이잎 괴사병반 지름이 평균 3.2 cm로 감귤, 양다래, 배 등 다른 기주로부터 분리된 균주의 1.8 cm보다 훨씬 컸다. 각 균주들의 살균제 저항성은 토마토 분리균주들의 benomyl 저항성이 $EC_{50}$ 562 ppm으로 다른 균주에 비해 훨씬 높았으며, 딸기 분리균주의 경우 사용된지 얼마되지 않은 diethofencarb에 대하여 $EC_{50}$ 210 ppm으로 높은 저항성을 나타내었다. Polygalacturonase 활성은 균주간에 변이가 심하여 specific activity가 최저 0 unit부터 103 unit까지 걸쳐 있었으며, 토마토, 오이, 딸기 등 주요 기주로부터 분리된 균주가 그렇지 않은 균주에 비해 약간 낮은 경향을 보였다. 균주들의 효소활성, 살균제 저항성과 병원성간에는 직접적인 상관관계가 없었다. 그러나, 병원성이 강한 균주와 약한 균주의 polygalacturonase 동위효소 pattern은 배양시 탄소원에 따라 서로 약간의 차이가 있었다.

벼 도열병은 벼를 재배하는 지역에서는 가장 중요한 병 중 하나이다. 특히, 벼 도열병균은 기주인 벼와 Gene-for-Gene 상호작용이 적용 가능한 대표적인 모델 식물병원성 곰팡이다. 우리나라는 1980년 이래로 벼 도열병균의 레이스를 분석하기 위해 8개의 판별 품종을 이용한 시스템을 구축하여 분류하였다. 그러나 이 판별 품종이 어떤 저항성 유전자를 가지고 있는지에 관해 명확한 정보가 없어 새로운 레이스의 출현이나 병 저항성 붕괴 등에 대하여 과학적인 분석이 어려웠다. 최근 병원균의 레이스와 벼의 저항성 유전자의 상호작용 이해를 돕기 위해 LTH 품종에 단인자 저항성 계통을 각각 다르게 도입한 판별시스템이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 1995년부터 2015년까지 분리된 4개의 다른 레이스 KI101, KI201, KI401 및 KJ101로부터 총 50개 균주를 선발하여 LTH 품종에 기반한 단인자 저항성 계통에 접종하여 그 결과를 이전 레이스와 비교 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 한국형 판별시스템으로 분류된 동일 레이스내의 균주들이 단인자 계통에서 서로 다른 반응을 보였다. 이 결과 동일 레이스에 속하는 균주들이 서로 다른 비병원성 유전자를 지닌 것을 의미하며, 더 나아가 새로운 저항성 벼 품종 육종에 유용한 정보를 제공하기 어려울 것으로 추정되었다. 이 연구 결과 현재의 판별시스템과 더불어 단인자 저항성 품종을 통한 판별시스템 도입이 요구되었다. 이 연구 결과는 향후 한국의 판별시스템 개발에 기초 자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

We investigated immunoactivity of ginkgolides (GLS), the primary active constituent of Ginkgo biloba leaves, against disseminated candidiasis due to Candida albicans. This fungus is a polymorphic opportunistic pathogen. BALB/c mice were induced neutropenia by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of cyclophosphamide (CP) 24 hours before an i.p administration of GLS (2 mg/mouse) to the mice. Control mice received diluent (Dulbecco's phosphate saline solution; DPBS) instead of GLS. (omitted)

Antifungal activity of 20 chemicals registered to turfgrass diseases was evaluated. Among the chemicals, iprodione, benomyl, iprodione+thiram, pencycuron+tebuconazole, hexaconazole, and iprodione+thiophanate-methyl exhibited high antifungal activity to the dollar spot fungus. All isolates were greatly inhibited by the chemicals at the concentration over 32ppm($\mu\textrm{g}$/ml). However, sensitivity of the isolates to chemicals was varied at the lower concentration as 8 and 16 ppm as follows. The isolate originated from Ora golf course was resistant to iprodione and iprodione+thiophanate methyl, Gonjiam isolate to iprodion, Youngpyung isolate to iprodione+thiram, and Dogo isolate to iprodione+thiram, pencycuron+tebuconazole, and tebuconazole. It was found from this study that the varied chemical resistance among the isolates was positively related to the application time of the chemical in the golf course. Consequently, when a chemical was applied more often times than the others to the golf course, the fungal isolates originate from the field showed higher resistance to the former chemical. Effects of the chemicals on control of the dollar spot was evaluated in the field. All tested chemicals revealed over 70% disease control efficacy, however, mepronil+propiconazole was the best showing 83% control efficacy and followed by fenarimo, iprodione, terbuconazole, thiram, and thiophanate-methyl.

To evaluate the sensitivity of Monilinia fructicola to dicarboximides used in controlling brown rot of peach, the fungus was isolated from commercial peach orchards in Chochiwon (CH), Chongdo (CD), Gyeongsan (GY), and Youngduk (YO) in Korea. The population shift of dicarboximide-resistant isolates of M. fructicola was investigated for 3 years starting 1998. The frequency of procymidone-resistant isolates (PRI) was higher in CD and GY than in CH and YO. The frequency of PRI was higher in the mid season (July-August) than in the rest of the year. Cross-resistance rate of PRI to iprodione was over 87.8% during the investigation, and double-resistance to both procymidone and carbendazim was less than 10%. However, the rate of cross-resistant isolates to vinclozolin was low. In the orchards in GY and CH without any fungicide spray, the PRI population was persistent and did not vary for 3 years. The results suggest that dicarboximide resistance of M. fructicola could be a problem in controlling brown rot and blossom blight on peach trees because it may take a long time to recover the population with sensitive isolates even in the absence of these fungicides.

Rice blast, caused by a fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases of rice worldwide. Analyzing the valuable genetic resources is important in making progress towards blast resistance. Molecular screening of major rice blast resistance (R) genes was determined in 2,509 accessions of rice germplasm from different geographic regions of Asia and Europe using PCR based markers which showed linkage to twelve major blast R genes, Pik-p, Pi39, Pit, Pik-m, Pi-d(t)2, Pii, Pib, Pik, Pita, Pita/Pita-2, Pi5, and Piz-t. Out of 2,509 accessions, only two accessions had maximum nine blast resistance genes followed by eighteen accessions each with eight R genes. The polygenic combination of three genes was possessed by maximum number of accessions (824), while among others 48 accessions possessed seven genes, 119 accessions had six genes, 267 accessions had five genes, 487 accessions had four genes, 646 accessions had two genes, and 98 accessions had single R gene. The Pik-p gene appeared to be omnipresent and was detected in all germplasm. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that Pita, Pita/Pita-2, Pi-d(t)2, Pib and Pit were the major genes responsible for resistance in the germplasm. The present investigation revealed that a set of 68 elite germplasm accessions would have a competitive edge over the current resistance donors being utilized in the breeding programs. Overall, these results might be useful to identify and incorporate the resistance genes from germplasm into elite cultivars through marker assisted selection in rice breeding.

Incidence of rice blast on new rice cultivars and elite lines was observed from 1995 to 1997 in Icheon, Chuncheon, Jecheon and Naju areas. The observation was made in the nurseries and fields. In the nurseries, three cultivars Grubyeo, Sangjuchalbyeo and Suwon 414 showed moderate levels of resistance to leaf blast, with the disease index 0 to 5. From the field observation, it was found that cultivars Heugjinjubyeo and Unbong 18 were highly resistant to leaf blast, but susceptible to neck blast. In general, there was a great variation yearly and regionally in the incidence of neck blast within the same cultivar, ranging from 0 to 100%. However, the range of neck blast infection was relatively narrower in the cultivars Yunghaebyeo (0∼2.4%) and Suwon 414 (0∼2.2%) during observation period. Races of rice blast fungus were variable at different areas. Among them dominant races were KI-409, KJ-201 and KJ-301.

Worldwide, rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe grisea (Hebert) Barr. (anamorph, Pyricularia grisea Sacc.), is one of the most economically devastating crop diseases. Management of rice blast through the breeding of blast-resistant varieties has had only limited xuccess due to the frequent breakdown of resistance under field conditions (Bonman etal., 1992; Correa-Victoria and Zeigler, 1991; Kiyosawa, 1982). The frequent variation of race in pathogen populations has been proposed as the principal mechanism involved in the loss of resistance (Ou, 1980). Although it is generally accepted that race change in M. grisea occurs in nature, the degree of its variability has been a controversial subject. A number of studies have reported the appearance of new races at extremely high rates (Giatgong and Frederiksen, 1968; Ou and Ayad, 1968; Ou et al., 1970; Ou et al., 1971). Various potential mechanisms, including heterokaryosis (Suzuki, 1965), parasexual recombination (Genovesi and Magill, 1976), and aneuploidy (Kameswar Row et al., 1985; Ou, 1980), have been proposed to explain frequent race changes. In contrast, other studies have shown that although race change could occur, its frequency was much lower than that predicted by earlier studies (Bonman et al., 1987; Latterell and Rossi, 1986; Marchetti et al., 1976). Although questions about the frequency of race changes in M. grisea remain unanswered, the application of molecular genetic tools to study the fungus, ranging from its genes controlling host specificity to its population sturctures and dynamics, have begun to provide new insights into the potential mechanisms underlying race variation. In this review we aim to provide an overview on (a) the molecular basis of host specificity of M. grisea, (b) the population structure and dynamics of rice pathogens, and (c) the nature and mechanisms of genetic changes underpinning virulence variation in M. grisea.
