Disease incidence of Codonopsis lanceolata was surveyed at the major cultivating fields in Chonbuk province in 1996 to 1997. The main diseases of Codonopsis lanceolata were ovserved as leaf spot caused by Septoria codonopsis, anthracnose by Glomerella cingulata, brown leaf spot by Cercospora sp., rust by Coleosporium koreanum, powdery mildew by Erysiphe sp., Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxyporum, and white root rot by Sclerotium rolfsii. Anthracnose, leaf spot and brown leaf spot occurred severely on leaves from early July to late August. They were caused early fallen leaves. Fusarium wilt and white root rot occurred severely on stem and below the soil line in late August. They resulted in withering to death or chlorosis and fallen of leaves. Disease incidence of Codonopsis lanceolata was also substantially different in occurrence with a method of cultivation in late growth stage. Fusarium wilt and white root rot were more severe with a method of no support cultivation than those with a method of support cultivation with a stick. Fusarium wilt occurred 48.8% in a method of no support cultivation but 3.1% in a method of support cultivation with a stick. And white root rot occurred 18.9% in a method of no support cultivation but 0.3% in a method of no support cultivation with a stick. Thus, it proved that soil-borne diseases could be controlled support cultivation with a stick.

The ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (synonym Zymoseptoria tritici) is an important pathogen of wheat causing economically significant losses. The primary nutritional mode of this fungus is thought to be hemibiotrophic. This pathogenic lifestyle is associated with an early biotrophic stage of nutrient uptake followed by a necrotrophic stage aided possibly by production of a toxin or reactive oxygen species (ROS). In many other fungi, the genes CREA and AREA are important during the biotrophic stage of infection, while the NOXa gene product is important during necrotrophic growth. To test the hypothesis that these genes are important for pathogenicity of M. graminicola, we employed an over-expression strategy for the selected target genes CREA, AREA, and NOXa, which might function as regulators of nutrient acquisition or ROS generation. Increased expressions of CREA, AREA, and NOXa in M. graminicola were confirmed via quantitative real-time PCR and strains were subsequently assayed for pathogenicity. Among them, the NOXa over-expression strain, NO2, resulted in significantly increased virulence. Moreover, instead of the usual filamentous growth, we observed a predominance of yeast-like growth of NO2 which was correlated with ROS production. Our data indicate that ROS generation via NOXa is important to pathogenicity as well as development in M. graminicola.

Seed-borne diseases reduce not only the seed germination and seedling growth but also seed quality, resulting in the significant yield loss in crop production. Plant seed harbors diverse microbes termed endophytes other than pathogens inside it. However, their roles and application to agricultures were rarely understood and explored to date. Recently, we had isolated from soybean seeds culturable endophytes exhibiting in-vitro antagonistic activities against common bacterial and fungal seed-borne pathogens. In this study, we evaluated effects of seed treatment with endophytes on plant growth and protection against the common seed-borne pathogens: four fungal pathogens (Cercospora sojina, C. kikuchii, Septoria glycines, Diaporthe eres) and two bacterial pathogens (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci). Our experiments showed that treatment of soybean seeds with seed endophytes clearly offer protection against seed-borne pathogens. We also found that some of the endophytes promote plant growth in addition to the disease suppression. Taken together, our results demonstrate agricultural potential of seed endophytes in crop protection.

본 연구는 농산물 중 2017년 기준신설예정농약 spiroxamine에 대한 공정시험법을 개발하고자 수행하였다. Spiroxamine은 모화합물만이 잔류물로 정의되므로 이를 분석하기 위한 시험법을 개발하였고, 확립된 시험법은 실험실 내 및 실험실 간 검증을 통해 공정시험법으로의 유효성을 확인하였다. Spiroxamine의 물리화학적 특성을 고려하여 분석을 위해 LC-MS/MS를 분석기기로 사용하였으며, acetonitrile으로 추출 후 유기용매를 이용하여 액액분배조건 및 florisil cartridge를 이용한 SPE 정제조건을 확립하여 시료의 불순물을 효과적으로 정제하는 시험법을 개발하였다. 개발된 Spiroxamine 시험법의 직선성은 결정계수($r^2$)가 0.99 이상으로 우수하였으며, 검출한계 및 정량한계는 각각 0.0005, 0.001 mg/kg으로 높은 감도를 나타내었다. 대표 농산물 5종(현미, 감자, 대두, 감귤, 고추)에 대한 시험법 검증결과 평균 회수율(5 반복)은 71.9~98.8%였고, 분석오차는 10.0% 이하로 정확성 및 재현성이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 광주지방식약청과의 실험실 간 검증 결과에서 평균 회수율은 70.6~104.6%를 나타내어 모두 Codex 가이드라인 및 식약처 가이드라인의 기준에 부합하는 것으로 확인되었다. 개발된 시험법은 낮은 검출한계 및 정량한계, 우수한 직선성, 회수율 시험을 통한 양호한 정밀성 및 재현성 등이 입증되어 농산물 중 Spiroxamine의 분석을 위한 식품공전 공정시험법으로 활용되기에 적합한 것으로 판단된다.
