Turnip crinkle vims (TCV) inoculation onto resistant Arabidopsis ecotype Dijon（Di-17) leads to a hypersensitive response (HR) on the inoculated leaves. A dominant gene, HRT, which confers an HR to TCV, has been cloned from Di-17 plants by map-based cloning. HRT is a LZ-NBS-LRR class resistance gene and it belongs to a small gene family that includes RPP8, which confers resistance to Peronospora parasitica Emco5. Outside of the LRR region, HRT and RPP8 proteins share 98% amino acid identity while their LRR regions are less conserved (87% identity). HRT-transformed Arabidopsis plants developed an HR but generally remained susceptible to TCV due to a dominant RRT allele, which is not compatible with resistance. However, several transgenic plants that over-expressed HRT much higher than Di-l7 showed micro-HR or no HR when inoculated with TCV and were resistant to infection. Both the HR and resistance are dependent on salicylic acid but independent of NPRI, ethylene, or jasmonic acid. Arabidopsis plants containing both TCV coat protein gene and HRT developed massive necrosis and death in seedlings, indicating that the TCV coat protein is an avirulence factor detected by the HRT.

Salinity stress is an important environmental problem that adversely affects crop production by reducing plant growth. The impacts of rhizobacterial strains to alleviate salinity stress on the germination of Lactuca sativa and Raphanus sativus seeds were assessed using different concentrations of NaCl. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains were also examined to improve the early germination of Chinese cabbage seeds under normal conditions. Lactobacillus sp. and P. putida inoculation showed higher radicle lengths compared with non-inoculated radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds. LAP mix inoculation increased the radicle length of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seedlings by 2.0 and 0.5 cm at salinity stress of 50 and 100 mM NaCl concentration, respectively. Inoculation by Azotobacter chroococcum significantly increased the plumule and radicle lengths of germinated seeds compared with non-inoculated control. A. chroococcum increased the radicle length relative to the uninoculated seeds by 4.0, 1.0, and 1.5 cm at 50, 100, and 150 mM NaCl concentration, respectively. LAP mix inoculation significantly improved the radicle length in germinated radish seeds by 7.5, 1.3, 1.2, and 0.6 cm under salinity stress of 50, 100, 150, and 200 mM NaCl concentration, respectively. These results of this study showed that PGPR could be helpful to mitigate the salinity stress of different plants at the time of germination.

In an attempt to develop effective biocontrol system for management of stem rot disease in groundnut, 57 bacterial isolates and 13 isolates of Trichoderma spp. were evaluated for their antagonistic activity against Sclerotium rolfsii. The antagonists were selected based on their ability to inhibit the external growth of S. rolfsii from infected groundnut seeds. Four isolates of Pseudomonas fluorescens, GB 4, GB 8, GB 10 and GB 27, and T. viride pq 1 were identified as potent antagonists of S. rolfsii. T. viride pq 1 produced extracellular chitinase and parasitized the mycelium of S. rolfsii. Under controlled environment conditions, P. fluorescens GB 10, GB 27, T. viride pq 1 and the systemic fungicide Thiram(equation omitted) reduced the mortality of S. rolfsii inoculated to groundnut seedlings by 58.0％, 55.9％, 70.0％ and 25.9％, respectively compared to control. In vitro growth of P. fluorescens GB 10 and GB 27 was compatible with T. viride pq 1 and Thiram(equation omitted). Integrated use of these two bacterial isolates with T. viride pq 1 or Thiram(equation omitted) improved their biocontrol efficacy. Combined application of either GB 10 or GB 27 with T. viride pq 1 was significantly effective than that with Thiram(equation omitted) in protecting groundnut seedlings from stem rot infection.

Effect of inoculum concentration inoculation method and plant age on development of clubroot disease of Chinese cabbage seedling were examined in growth chambers. Root galls were developed at the concentration of 105 resting spore or above per ml of incoulum and as the inoculum concentration became higher rate of development of root galls was faster. In the plants with root gall development fresh weight of above ground parts was reduced to 30-44% of that of healthy plants but root weight increased by 4-10 times. Growth of diseased plants was greatly reduced as compared to healthy plants. Planting in the diseased soil as a inoculation method was most effective for disease development showing uniform infections but time of initial root gall development was delayed by root soaking inoculation. Some plants inoculated by soil drenching method did not develop root galls. However root gall enlargement after its initial formation did not differ greatly among inoculation methods. Nine-day-old seedlings showed poor development of root gall but 16-days-old seedlings was found to be most adequate for inoculation for gall development.

Over the last few years, the endophytic bacterial community associated with citrus has been studied as an important component interacting with Xylella fastidiosa, the causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis(CVC). This bacterium may also colonize some model plants, such as Catharanthus roseus and Nicotiana clevelandii. In the present study, we compared the endophytic colonization of Citrus sinensis and Catharanthus rose us using the endophytic bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae. We chose an appropriate strain, K. pneumoniae 342 (Kp342), labeled with the GFP gene. This strain was inoculated onto seedlings of C. sinensis and C. roseus. The isolation frequency was determined one week after the inoculation and the endophytic colonization of K. pneumoniae was observed using fluorescence microscopy. Although the endophytic bacterium was more frequently isolated from C. roseus than from C. sinensis, the colonization profiles for both host plants were similar, suggesting that C. roseus could be used as a model plant to study the interaction between endophytic bacteria and X. fastidiosa.

Erwinia amylovora and E. pyrifoliae are the causative agents of destructive diseases in both apple and pear trees viz. fire blight and black shoot blight, respectively. Since the introduction of fire blight in Korea in 2015, the occurrence of both pathogens has been independently reported. The co-incidence of these diseases is highly probable given the co-existence of their pathogenic bacteria in the same trees or orchards in a city/district. Hence, this study evaluated whether both diseases occurred in neighboring orchards and whether they occurred together in a single orchard. The competition and virulence of the two pathogens was compared using growth rates in vitro and in planta. Importantly, E amylovora showed significantly higher colony numbers than E. pyrifoliae when they were co-cultured in liquid media and co-inoculated into immature apple fruits and seedlings. In a comparison of the usage of major carbon sources, which are abundant in immature apple fruits and seedlings, E. amylovora also showed better growth rates than E. pyrifoliae. In virulence assays, including motility and a hypersensitive response (HR), E. amylovora demonstrated a larger diameter of travel from the inoculation site than E. pyrifoliae in both swarming and swimming motilities. E. amylovora elicited a HR in tobacco leaves when diluted from 1:1 to 1:16 but E. pyrifoliae does not elicit a HR when diluted at 1:16. Therefore, E. amylovora was concluded to have a greater competitive fitness than E. pyrifoliae.

In order to obtain promising rice growth-promoting microbial strains that can be used as substitutes for chemical fertilizers, 172 bacterial strains were isolated from rice roots grown in Korean and Russian soils. Out of them, the strains KR076, KR083, KR181 and RRj228 showed plant growth-promoting activities on maize seedlings. Bacillus megaterium KR076 and Bacillus sp. KR083 showed both nitrogen-fixing and plant growth-promoting activities, while Rhizobium sp. KR181 and Pseudomonas sp. RRj228 appeared to support only plant growth-promotion, but not $N_2$ fixation. Especially, RRj228 showed high growth promoting activity at low concentrations. Inoculation studies with KR083 and RRj228 revealed a high affinity to the Japonica rice variety such as Junambyeo than the Korean Tongil type variety such as Arumbyeo. Both KR083 and RRj228 strains showed rhizoplane and/or endophytic colonization in Japonica and Tongil types rice when soaked with the bacterial suspension of $1.1{\times}10^5cfu\;ml^{-1}$ for six and twelve hours. However, the total bacterial cell numbers were higher in the roots of Japonica variety than in the Tongil type. In inoculation trials with Daesanbyeo rice variety, the seedlings inoculated with KR181 and RRj228 at the rate of $2.0{\times}10^6cfu\;ml^{-1}$ showed yield increment of 35% and 33% (p < 0.01), respectively, so that they contributed to the replacement of chemical fertilizer at half doses of N, $P_2O_5$, and $K_2O$ in pots. In Junambyeo rice seedlings, the strain RRj228, when inoculated with a cell suspension of $1.8{\times}10^6cfu\;ml^{-1}$, promoted 3.4% higher yield at 70% dose than at a full dose level of N $110kg\;ha^{-1}$ in field. These results suggest that the rhizobacteria KR181 and RRj228 are prospective strains for enhancing rice performance.

본 실험은 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum에 의해 발생하는 오이 덩굴쪼김병의 효율적인 저항성 검정 방법을 확립하기 위하여 수행되었다. ITS와 TEF 유전자 염기서열 분석과 멜론, 참외, 오이 및 수박을 포함한 박과 작물에 대한 기주 특이성 분석을 통해 KR5 균주를 F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum으로 동정하였다. 그리고 덩굴쪼김병균 KR5에 저항성 정도가 다른 오이 네 품종과 오이용 대목 두 품종을 선발하여 유묘의 생육 시기, 뿌리 상처, 접종원 농도 및 접종 후 재배 온도에 따라 이들 여섯 품종의 덩굴쪼김병 발생을 조사하였다. 저항성 품종의 덩굴쪼김병 발병도는 접종 후 재배 온도에 따라 차이를 나타냈으며, 저항성 품종들은 접종 후에 $20^{\circ}C$보다 $25^{\circ}C$나 $30^{\circ}C$에서 재배하였을 때 높은 저항성을 보였다. 그리고 유묘의 생육 시기 중 파종 후 7일된 유묘에 덩굴쪼김병균을 접종하였을 때 가장 큰 저항성과 감수성 차이를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터 오이 덩굴쪼김병에 대한 저항성을 효과적으로 검정하는 방법으로 파종하고 7일 동안 재배한 유묘의 뿌리로부터 흙을 제거하고, 이들을 $1.0{\times}10^6-1.0{\times}10^7$ conidia/ml 농도의 F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum 포자현탁액에 침지하여 접종한 후에 건전한 원예용 상토에 이식하고 $25^{\circ}C$ 생육상에서 3주간 재배하는 방법을 제안한다.

본 연구는 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici(FOL)에 의해 발생하는 토마토 시들음병의 간편 대량 유묘 검정 방법을 확립하고자 수행하였다. 토마토 시들음병 연구에는 root dip 접종 방법을 많이 사용하고 있으나, 대량의 시료에 대한 병 저항성 검정에서 이 방법은 시간이 많이 소요되고 힘이 많이 드는 어려움이 있다. 대량 검정을 위한 간편한 접종 방법을 선발하고자 FOL race 2와 3 균주를 root dip, tip 및 scalpel 등의 방법으로 접종하고 두 토마토 품종에서 시들음병 발생을 조사하였다. Tip 방법에 의해 접종한 토마토는 root dip 방법으로 접종한 토마토보다 더 낮은 발병도를 보였으며 개체 간 발병도 차이가 더 컸다. 반면에 scalpel방법은 root dip 방법에서처럼 토마토 시들음병에 대하여 분명한 감수성과 저항성 반응을 나타내었다. 이들 결과로부터 대량 시료를 위한 토마토 시들음병 저항성 검정에서 root dip 접종 방법보다 더 간단하고 효율적인 scalpel 이용 접종 방법을 선발하였다. Scalpel 접종 방법은 실험한 접종원 농도 및 재배 온도 등의 발병 조건에 의해 토마토 품종들의 저항성 및 감수성 반응은 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 토마토 시들음병에 대한 대량 유묘 검정 방법으로 연결 포트에서 재배한 2엽기 토마토 유묘의 뿌리를 scalpel을 이용하여 상처를 준 후에 FOL 포자 현탁액을 관주하여 $25-30^{\circ}C$ 생육상에서 하루에 12시간씩 광을 조사하면서 4주 동안 재배하는 것을 제안한다.

공생균근은 인산을 비롯한 무기영양소의 흡수 촉진을 통하여 작물의 생육을 증대시킬 수 있으며, 토양 중의 유효 인산함량은 이러한 공생균근의 형성에 크게 영향을 미친다. 일반적으로 유효인산 함량이 증가할수록 공생균근 형성율은 낮아 지는데, 제주도 화산회 토양에서 인산 시용 수준을 달리하여 탱자 유묘의 공생균근 형성율과 인산 등 무기영양소의 흡수관계를 조사하였다. 비경작지 화산회 토양에 중과석과 복합비료로 40,573, 1,106, 1,373, $1,640mg\;P\;kg^{-1}$ 수준으로 인산을 처리하였으며 탱자 유묘를 5개월 동안 온실에서 재배하였다. 공생균근 형성율은 인산 시용 수준이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 토양 유효 인산 함량이 $100mg\;P\;kg^{-1}$ 이상인 조건에서는 공생균근의 형성은 크게 저해되었다. 탱자 유묘의 인산 흡수와 공생균근 형성을 사이에는 토양 중의 유효 인산 함량이 낮을수록 높은 상관관계를 보였으며, 공생균근에 의한 인산 흡수 촉진 효과 또한 유효 인산 함량이 낮을수록 증가하였다. 인산 외 질소, 칼륨, 칼슘, 마그네슘, 아연 등의 무기영양소 흡수 또한 공생균근에 의해 촉진되는 것으로 나타났으며, 구리에 대한 흡수 촉진 효과는 인정되지 않았다.
