A study on the root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) affecting economic crops in Korea was undertaken to know the distribution of the nemic fauna. Total 66 samples were taken from soil and root of 24 host plants at different localities in 4 provinces. Four Meloidogyne species such as Meloidogyne hapla, Meloidogyne arenaria, Meloidogyne incognita and Meloidogyne javanica were identified and some morphological characteristics were described. One of these, Meloidogyne javanica was reported newly in Korea from Horticultural Experimental Station, Suweon, Gyeong Gi on potato, Geomsadong, Daegu on chinese cabbage, Sangeogdong, Daegu, Gyeong Bug on violet and Choeumri, Namhae, Gyeong Nam on pumpkin. In Jae Ju province, Meloidogyne incognita was only found except the other three species. The most common and widely distributed Meloidogyne species in Korea is Meloidogyne hapla by $50\%$ in total, next Meloidogyne incognita $33.3\%$ Meloidogyne arenaria $10.6\%$ Meloidogyne javanica $6.0\%$ in turn, The root-knot nematodes infected the most severely in Jae Ju province and Gyeong Nam, Gyeong Bug and Gyeong Gi province in turn. Twenty four plants were attacked by root-knot nematodes among them important economic crops are soybean, peanut, potato, tomato, cucumber, carrot, pumpkin, wateremelon, edible burdock, pepper, eggplant, cabbage, lettuce and tobacco in Korea.

Egg masses of the root- knot nematodes ( Meloidogyne incognita, M. arenaria and M. haply) were exposed to two different regimes of soil moisture (459 and 2459) and temperature ( -2$^{\circ}C$ and 33$^{\circ}C$), quite extreme condition in their natural environment, and their survival rate was compared. Three species did not show any difference in the rate when exposed to either soil moisture for 25 days, with the rate in the range of 8.6% to 10.4%. In response to temperature treatment, however, they differed : the best survival rate was obtained from M. incognita at high temperature ( 33"C) and from M, hapla at low temperature (-2$^{\circ}C$) plot. The third species (M. arenaria) was intermediate in both temperature regimes.imes.

In order to microbially control root-knot nematode(Meloidogyne incognita) in tomato, a strain BtTH109 of Bacillus thuringiensis producing root-knot nematocidal toxin was isolated. The strain BtTH109 was identified B. thuringiensis subsp. indiana(serotype 16) based on flagella antigenicity, biochemical properties, and morphological charcateristics. The strain BtTH109 have extracellularly produced a root-knot nematocidal toxin, which was very toxic against not only egghatch but also the 2nd-nematode larva of root-knot nematode in vitro.

During the investigation of Allium decline in Pohang, Korea, root-knot nematode was found from root of Allium tuberosum Roth. It was identified as Meloidogyne incognita and was first reported from Allium tuberosum. Allium decline was associated with root-knot nematode, root mite and Fusarium sp. but root-knot nematode appeared to be the main cause of Allium decline.

To select resistant oil seed crops against two species of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria, 10 cultivars of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) and 10 cultivars of perilla (Perilla frutescens var. japonica) were screened in greenhouse pot test. All sesame cultivars tested were resistant to M. incognita but susceptible to M. arenaria. While, perilla was resistant to both Meloidogyne species. Therefore, perilla cultivars could be used as rotation crop in greenhouse infested with both M. incognita and M. arenaria. But, sesame cultivars only can be used as a rotation crop in greenhouse infested with M. incognita but not for M. arenaria.

M. incognita are plant-parasite nematode that cause severe damage to the crops. P. lilacinus are renowned for inhibitation of development of M. incognita's egg. We make a study for enzymatic examining the cause closely that P. lilacinus suppress development of M. incognita's egg by parasiting. The research result is explained the place below. 1. The egg that is exposed to co-enzymes which are cultured in the broth culture starts to change the membrane of egg from 3days. And in 10days, that membrane completely disappear. These are observed through light microscope. Therefore, we know that M. incongnita are controlled by extracellular lytic enzymes that are produced by P. lilacinus. 2. Through scanning electron microscope, we can find that the egg that is attacked by P. lilacinus loses it's membrane gradually, and that loss of the membrane causes transform, which suppresses the development of egg.

The root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is an important pathogen in crop cultivation, however, few methods are available to control this parasitic roundworm. In this study, the nematicidal effects of approximately 30 Streptomyces strains isolated from soil samples of Mt. Naejang (Korea) were tested against Meloidogyne incognita, and the culture broth of the strains KRA-24 and KRA-28 exhibited approximately 75% and 85% insecticidal activity, respectively, in in vitro assays. In in vivo pot experiments, these strains reduced the number of nematodes in the soil and the number of egg masses in the roots of red peppers. The two strains also survived in the presence of insecticidal agents (0.1 to 3.0%) such as fosthiazate, ethoprophos and terbufos when they were used in parallel. The mixture of KRA-24 or KRA-28 culture broth and fosthiazate exhibited nematicidal effects that were similar to those observed when KRA-24 or KRA-28 were used alone. Our results clearly suggest that the Streptomyces strains KRA-24 and KRA-28 should be promoted as a biocontrol agent against Meloidogyne incognita.

The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita infects a variety of plants, including Arabidopsis thaliana. During migration, root-knot nematodes secrete different proteins to modify cell walls, which include pectolytic enzymes. However, the contribution of host cell wall proteins has not been described during this process. The function of two DUF642 cell wall proteins, BIIDXI (BDX, At4g32460) and TEEBE (TEB, At2g41800), in plant development could be related to the regulation of pectin methyl esterification status in the cell walls of different tissues. Accordingly, the expression of these two genes is up-regulated by auxin. BDX and TEB were highly induced during early M. incognita inoculation. Moreover, cell wall localization of the proteins was also induced. The cell wall localization of BDX and TEB DUF642 proteins during M. incognita early inoculation suggested that these two proteins could be involved in the regulation of the degree of pectin methylation during cell separation.

Two species of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita and M. hapla, were used in tests of soybean cultivars for resistance. Sixteen soybean cultivars were planted in the 20-cm clay pot and inoculated with each of M. incognita and M. hapla. Four soybean cultivars, Eundaedu, Baegcheon, Dongbugtae and Danyeobkong were resistant; Kwangdu, Hwanggeumkong, and Buseog were moderate, and the rest nine cultivars were susceptible to M. incognita. Jangyeobkong only was resistant, Danyeobkong, Hill, Dongbutae, Hamandaerip and Chungbugbaeg were moderate, and the rest ten cultivars were susceptible to M. hapla. There were no cultivars resistant to both nematodes although Dongbugtae and Danyeobkong were resistant to M. incognita and moderately resistant to M. hapla.

Root-knot nematode damage was found on yam, Dioscorea bulbifera in Andong Korea. From the root-knots, female nematodes were isolated and subjected to DNA sequence analysis. Sequence of cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) was analyzed from the genomic DNA of the isolate. COII locus size and sequence of the nematode isolate were similar to those of Meloidogyne javanica or M. incognita. However, an analysis of HinfI restriction site, a species-specific character between these two species, showed that the isolate did not match to either M. javanica or M. incognita.
