국내의 고추 포장에서 나타나는 시듦 증상의 원인을 규명하기 위하여 2010년부터 2014년까지 5년 동안 충북 괴산의 고추 재배 포장에서 시듦 증상을 보이는 고추의 발병도를 조사하였다. 조사한 연도에 따라서 시듦 증상에 대한 발병에는 차이가 있었지만, 조사하는 시기가 6월과 7월을 지나 8월이 되면서 발병도가 높게 상승하였다. 이 시기 동안 시듦 증상을 보이는 고추에서 Ralstonia solanacearum이 Phytophthora capsici보다 4배 높은 비율로 분리되었다. 충북 괴산과 경북 안동의 포장에서 2013년과 2014년의 2년 동안 채집한 시든 고추에서 병원균을 분리하여 보아도, 조사한 전체 포장 중의 20.3%에서 R. solanacearum이 분리되었으며, 역병균인 P. capsici는 3.8%의 포장에서만 분리되었다. 시듦 증상이 높은 비율로 나타났던 해에는 평균기온이 높았으며, 고추 풋마름병 예찰 모델로 추정된 풋마름병의 초발생일도 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다. 역병 발생 위험 일수와 실제 시듦 증상 발생 빈도의 결과가 부합하지 않는 것은 재배 현장에서 역병 저항성 품종의 사용이 일반화되어 있기 때문이라고 생각한다. 이런 결과를 통해서 역병 저항성 고추 품종이 재배 현장에 도입된 이후, 포장에서 관찰할 수 있는 시듦 증상의 원인은 P. capsici에 의한 역병보다는 R. solanacearum에 의한 풋마름병이었다.

Eleven hot pepper accessions collected in Vietnam showed stable resistance to bacterial wilt as well-known resistance sources, MC4 and MC5, in repeated inoculation tests with different Ralstonia solanacearum isolates conducted from 2004 to 2010. Seven of these accessions (specifically KC981, KC1006, KC1021, KC1027, KC1045, KC1050, and KC1055) resulted in stable male sterile F1 plants in the crosses with a cytoplasmically male sterile (CMS) Chilseong (CMS-A, Srfrf ), and therefore, they were maintainers (CMS-B) with a genotype of Nrfrf. The rest (KC980, KC995, KC999, and KC1009) produced stable male fertile F1 plants in the crosses, and therefore, were restorers (CMS-C) with a genotype of N(S)RfRf. Therefore, the maintainer and restorer sources of resistance may be used in preference in breeding maternal (CMS and their maintainers) and paternal parents (restorers) for resistance to bacterial wilt, respectively, in the hybrid breeding system utilizing cytoplasmic male sterility.

The population of Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) in soil is very important as a primary inoculum source of bacterial wilt in tobacco fields. To investigate the population of Rs, physical properties and chemical components during the tobacco growing season, soil samples were taken from the fifteen fields which were located in the flue-cured tobacco growing area, Ansung, Kyunggi province and Wonju, Kangwon province. Two fields of the fifteen were bacterial wilt free. Six fields had less than 10% plants being diseased and seven over 10%. The Rs population level determined by using SMSA medium generally showed an up-and-down pattern being low in May, high in Jun and July and low in August. The soil population in May and June showed a positive correlation with the incidence of bacterial wilt (r=0.571$^*$, r=0.688$^{**}$), but P$_2O_5$, content of soil was negatively correlated with the disease incidence (r=-0.539$^*$). These results suggest that Rs population in soil examined in May or in June, and the P$_2O_5$ content in soil should be key factors to determine the bacterial wilt potential of tobacco fields.

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating diseases in major Solanaceae crops. The pathogen is easily disseminated and survives for many years in plant farming system. Although chemicals are applied to control the disease, they are of limited efficacy and cause several problems. Therefore, the use of phage therapy has been suggested to control the disease as a biological agent. In this study, we discovered bacteriophages lysing diverse Ralstonia isolates from plant and soil samples obtained from the potato cultivated field in Jeju. Three times repeated pickings of plaques resulted in obtaining 173 single phages showing diverse spectrum of host-specificity. With the results, 12 core phages were selected and dendrogram was generated. Genetic diversity of the selected phages was also confirmed by AFLP (Amplified Fragment of Length Polymorphism) fingerprinting. The stability of the phages was investigated in various temperatures and various conditions of pH in vitro. The phages were stable at $16^{\circ}C-44^{\circ}C$ and pH 6-10. Morphological characterization of the phages revealed they were all classified into the Podoviridae, but had diverse head sizes. The results of this research will contribute to control the disease and further researches regarding genetic and molecular aspects will facilitate understanding phage and bacteria interaction.

The Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) can be divided into four phylotypes, and includes phenotypically diverse bacterial strains that cause bacterial wilt on various host plants. This study used 93 RSSC isolates responsible for potato bacterial wilt in Korea, and investigated their phylogenetic relatedness based on the analysis of phylotype, biovar, and host range. Of the 93 isolates, twenty-two were identified as biovar 2, eight as biovar 3, and sixty-three as biovar 4. Applied to the phylotype scheme, biovar 3 and 4 isolates belonged to phylotype I, and biovar 2 isolates belonged to phylotype IV. This classification was consistent with phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA and egl gene sequences, in which biovar 3 and 4 isolates clustered to phylotype I, and biovar 2 isolates clustered to phylotype IV. Korean biovar 2 isolates were distinct from biovar 3 and 4 isolates pathologically as well as genetically - all biovar 2 isolates were nonpathogenic to peppers. Additionally, in host-determining assays, we found uncommon strains among biovar 2 of phylotype IV, which were the tomato-nonpathogenic strains. Since tomatoes are known to be highly susceptible to RSSC, to the best of our knowledge this is the first report of tomato-nonpathogenic potato strains. These results imply the potential prevalence of greater RSSC diversity in terms of host range than would be predicted based on phylogenetic analysis.

Potato is one of the most important crops worldwide. Its commercial cultivars are highly susceptible to many fungal and bacterial diseases. Among these, bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum causes significant yield loss. In the present study, integrated proteomics and genomics approaches were used in order to identify bacterial wilt resistant genes from Rs resistance potato cultivar CT-206-10. 2-DE and MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS analysis identified eight differentially abundant proteins including glycine-rich RNA binding protein (GRP), tomato stress induced-1 (TSI-1) protein, pathogenesis-related (STH-2) protein and pentatricopeptide repeat containing (PPR) protein in response to Rs infection. Further, semi-quantitative RT-PCR identified up-regulation in transcript levels of all these genes upon Rs infection. Taken together, our results showed the involvement of the identified proteins in the Rs stress tolerance in potato. In the future, it would be interesting to raise the transgenic plants to further validate their involvement in resistance against Rs in potato.

Ralstonia solanacearum (Rso) is a causal agent of bacterial wilt in Solanaceae crops worldwide including Republic of Korea. Rso virulence predominantly relies on type III secreted effectors (T3Es). However, only a handful of Rso T3Es have been characterized. In this study, we investigated subcellular localization of and manipulation of plant immunity by 8 Rso T3Es predicted to harbor a nuclear localization signal (NLS). While 2 of these T3Es elicited cell death in both Nicotiana benthamiana and N. tabacum, only one was dependent on suppressor of G2 allele of skp1 (SGT1), a molecular chaperone of nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat immune receptors. We also identified T3Es that differentially regulate flg22-induced reactive oxygen species production and gene expression. Interestingly, several of the NLS-containing T3Es translationally fused with yellow fluorescent protein accumulated in subcellular compartments other than the cell nucleus. Our findings bring new clues to decipher Rso T3E function in planta.

Ralstonia solanacearum에 의한 풋마름병은 토마토, 감자 등의 작물에 심각한 피해를 주고 있으나, 효과적인 방제법이 없는 실정이다. 일반 병원균의 생물적 방제를 위해 Pseudomonas속의 세균이 가장 일반적으로 이용되고 있는데, 이번 연구에서는 각종 작물의 재배지 토양에서 형광성 세균을 분리하여 Pseudomonas속 특이적 PCR과 항생물질(2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol) 생산 관련 유전자의 유무를 조사하였다. 분리된 150개의 Pseudomonas속 세균 중 항생물질 관련 유전자가 검출된 균은 2균주뿐이였으며, 그중 토마토 근권토양으로 분리된 P. putida P84 세균이 각종 식물 병원 세균에 대해 가장 높은 실내 항균력을 나타내었다. P84 균주의 탄소원별 증식효과는 glucose 첨가시에 가장 좋았으며, arabionse, inositol, melibiose 첨가시에도 우수한 증식효과를 나타내었다. P84세균을 이용한 토마토 풋마름병의 포트실험 결과에서는 60%의 방제효과를 나타내었다.
