A comparative petal micromorphology of 15 taxa of tribe Sorbarieae was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to evaluate their taxonomic and systematic implication. The characteristics of both adaxial and abaxial side of petal epidermal cells such as shape, arrangement, anticlinal wall and cuticular sculpture were described in detail. The Sorbarieae petal epidermal cells were identified as papillate or conical papillate (PCS) and rectangular-rugose tabular (TRS). Three types of petal micromorphology were found within the tribe based on the cell patterns of adaxial and abaxial side. Type I. PCS-TRS, Type II. PCS-PCS, Type III. TRS-TRS (adaxial-abaxial side). The petal epidermal cell types, anticlinal cell wall, and cuticular sculpture represent not only taxonomical importance for identification between or within the genera but also systematic implication. Moreover, this study provides a relation between petal epidermal cell pattern and insect pollinator (entomophily; melittophily) as an additional case.

A leaf blight disease caused by a species of Phytophthora has been observed on castor bean plants growing near dwelling houses in Manchon-dong, Daegu since 1993. The first isolate that we have kept was producing papillate, ovoid-obpyriform to obpyriform sporangia with on a simple sympodial sporangiophore from diseased tissue placed on water agar plates. The pure isolate, however, did not sporulate on agar media, and rarely even in water, but produced mycelial swellings and chlamydospores in water. Sporangia measured 26.1-77.4 ${\times}$ 23.2-44.0$\mu\textrm{m}$. Chlamydospores were either terminal or intercalary, and measured 24-29.4$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter. Sex organs were not formed in a single culture. In 2003, another pure isolate was isolated from castor bean plants with similar symptoms at the same place. The second isolate was distinct from the first one in that the second isolate was readily and abundantly sporulating on V8 juice agar plates. Sporangia of the second isolate were papillate, ovoid and caduceus with a pedicel. Sporangia measured 19.5-48.8 x 17.6-34.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ with 3.7$\mu\textrm{m}$ high papilla and 4.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ long pedicel. No sex organs were formed in a single isolate culture. Both isolates were pathogenic on castor bean plants. Results of the efforts to identify the two species of Phytophthora will be discussed.

Structuer, ontogeny, classification and taxonomic significance of trichomes have been studied in 39 genera and 125 species of the selected families in Malvales. They were studied on both vegetative and floral organs. There are nine types of eglandular and eight of glandular trichomes. The trichomes were classified on the basis of their form, structure and contents. All of them originated from a single papillate hair initial. According to the trichome data, the Malvales was comfirmed as a natural order with 5 homogenous families: Malvaceae, Bombacaceae, Sterculiaceae, Tiliaceae, and Elaeocarpaceae.

The internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS I, 5.8S and ITS II) of the ribosomal DNAs were amplified from Korean isolates of Phytophthora spp. and sequenced to characterize them. Sequences from 33 isolates previously identified as P. boehmeriae, P. cactprum, P. cambivora, P. capsici, P. cinnamomi, P. erythroseptica, P. infestans, P. megasperma, P. melonis, P. nicotianae, P. palmivora and P. sojae were compared with published sequences, and a phylogenetic tree was produced. All isolates belonging to 10 species, P. cactorum, P. cambivora, P. capsici, P. cinnamomi P. citricola, P. infestans, P. nicotianae, P. palmivora and P. sojae were clearly clustered into published isolates of each species above 97% bootstrap value. Cucurbits isolates of Phytophthora previously identified as either P. melonis or P. drechsleri showed distinct evolutionary lineages from the P. megasperma was closely related to isolates of P. cryptogea-P. drechsleri showed distinct evolutionary lineages from the P. cryptogea-P. drechsleri complex group, indicating that P. melonis is a valid species. A Korean isolate of P. megasperma was closely related to isolates of P. erythroseptica showed distant genetic relationship with published isolates of P. erythroseptica (CBS 956.87). It is probable that the two Korean isolates could be genetically different from foreign isolates or misidentified. A grouping of species according to ITS sequence divergence matched, to some degree, the broad classification based on type of papilla. However, a separation of semi-papillate species and papillate species was not wvident in this study.

Occurrence of brown rot was observed on imported orange fruits, and irregular brown spots were appeared as an intial symptom. White colored mycelia were developed rapidly on the surface of the fruits under the humid condition and resulted in rotting of the fruits. The causal organism of brown rot of orange was identified as Phytophthora citrophthora. Most sporangia were nondeciduous, papillate, ovoid, and measured 25.5~51.5$\times$17.9~34.7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. P. citrophtora was pathogenic on Satsuma mandarin as well as orange. Symptoms were produced 3~7 days after artificial inoculation of sporangia and mycelia mixture on the fruits of orange and Satsuma mandarin, which were similar to those on the naturally infected fruits.

Phytophthora crown rot of cymbidium was observed in Cheju island since June of 1996. The disease initiated at the basal portion of infected plant progressed upward to lower leaves. Soon after distinct water-soaking lesions appeared on lower leaves, the plant was wilted, blighted and died. Four orchid farms at Sogwipo out of 16 surveyed in the island were infected by the disease estimating 5~20% infection rates. The causal fungus was identified as P. palmivora based on following distinguishing characteristics. All isolates were heterothallic as A1 types and readily produced chlamydospores with cultural age. Sporangia were conspicuous papillate, ellipsoidal to ovoid, highly deciduous with short pedicels ca. 3~4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Koch's rules were satisfied by a pathogenicity test and re-isolation of the fungus from inoculated plants. The pathogen has never been reported in Cheju island previously and its firstly recorded as the cause of Phytophthora crown rot of cymbidium in Korea.

A severely wilting of strawberry caused by a Phytophthora sp. has occurred houses after planting in vinyl-houses field at Ssanglim and Anlim areas Kyungbuk in Korea from October in 1997. Phytophthora sp. isolated from diseased tissues of the crown of strawberry. Browning rot of inner crown and root resulted in wilt and eventual death of the plant. The causal fungus was identified as Phytophthora cactorum. Sporangia were ovoid, conspicuously papillate, caducous and measured 30.0~56.6$\times$23.8~35.2 (av. 39.3~29.9) ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Sexuality of the fungus was homothallic. Oogonia were sperical and 23.3~32.3 (av. 29.0) ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Most ahteridia were paragynous and measured av. 10.2~12.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Cardinal temperature for growth at minimum, optium, maximum were recorded at 7, 20~25, and 32$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The fungus show strong pathogenicity to strawberry. This is the first report of strawberry caused by Phytophthora cactorum in Korea.

Luffa acutanqula var. amara exhibits floral and extrafloral nectaries. The floral nectaries are restricted to the torus of the male flowers, while the extrafloral nectaries are observed on foliage leaves, probract, outer surface of calyx and pedicels. The floral nectaries develop from a group of epidermal and sub-epidermal initials which differentiate into secretory and subsecretory zones respectively during further divisions. The extrafloral nectary initiates from a single papillate nectary initial which gives rise to mature nectary comprising stalk layer, secretory and subsecretory tissues. Both the floral and extrafloral nectaries are vascularized. Interactions between insect-visitors and the plant with special reference to their functions are also discussed.
