옥수수 유묘접종시 깜부기병이 가장 잘 발병하는 조건은 4엽기 옥수수묘를 10\ulcorner~10\ulcorner/ml 농도의 소생자 현탁액으로 경엽살포한 후 28~3$0^{\circ}C$의 습실상에서 24시간 둔 후 꺼내어 온실에 두었을 때였다. 유묘의 엽기가 이보다 어리거나 접종원 농도가 이보다 높을 때, 혹은 습실상내 처리기간이 길어지면 접종후 유묘의 이른 고사를 초래하였다. 또한 습실상의 온도가 낮아질수록 깜부기병의 발병정도도 감소하였다. 깜부기병의 발생은 소생자 현탁액의 경엽살포 및 줄기주사접종에 의해서는 가능하였지만 토양관주에 의해서는 발병하지 않았다. 소생자 현탁액은 별도의 영양원의 첨가 없이도 발병을 잘 유도하였다. 동포자 현탁액을 직접 경엽살포하거나 줄기주사접종하여도 발병하였으나 소생자 현탁액접종에 비하여 발병정도가 현저히 낮았다.

The evolutionary relationships for 43 species in the taxa of the basidiomycetous yeast and related yeast-like fungi have been studied from the 43 18S rRNA partial sequences. Fibulobasidium inconspicuum showed a relatively close relationship to Filobasidiella neoformans. It is obvious that Tremella foliacea and Ustilogo rabenhorstiana form a independently different cluster from basidiomycetous yeast and seem to be phylogenetically distant from basidiomycetous yeast and each other. The basidiomycetous yeasts are believed more closely associated with Tremella foliacea than with Ustilago rabenhorstiana. The phenotypic criteria such as carotenoid pigments, teliospores, ballistospores seems not to be phylogenetically useful indicators.

Rust diseases were found on safflower (Carthamus thinctorius) fields located in Euisong-gun Gyengbuk province in Korea. The infection rate of the disease in surveyed area was about 15% in 2001. The typical symptoms of the disease appeared first as small white spots on the leaf and turn brownish, dark brown spores revealed on them. Uredospores were light brown in color, ellipsoid or spherical in shape and 21~23 ${\times}$ 21~25${\mu}m$ in size. Teliospores were chestnut-brown in color, ellipsoid or ovoid in shape and 35~40 ${\times}$ 27~33${\mu}m$ in size. Pedicels were non-color of limpidness in color and 15~30${\mu}m$ in size. The causal fungus was identified as Puccinia carthami, based on morphological charateristics. This is first report on the rust of safflower caused by Puccinia carthami in Korea.

Rust disease was occurred on Iris in several farmer's fields fields located in Hoehwa-myon, Goseong-gun, Gyeong-nam province in Korea. The typical symptoms of the disease appeared first as small, yellowish spot on leaves. The spots then turn brown, their edges rised slightly, and powdery mass of yellowish brown spores revealed on the lesions. Severely infected leaves were blighted and eventually died. Urediniospores were yellowish brown to reddish brown in color, obobid to obovoid in shape and 22~30 ${\times}$ 21~25${\mu}m$m in size. Teliospores were chestnet-brown in color, oblong or clavate in shape and 32~54 ${\times}$ 12~22${\mu}m$ in size. The causal fungus was identified as Puccinia iridis, based on morphological characteristics. This is the first report on the rust of Iris nertschinskia by Puccinia iridis in Korea.

Rust disease was found on broad bean (Vuia faba) in several farmer's fields located in Changseon-myon, Nam-hae-gun, Gyeongnam province in Korea. The infection rate of the disease in the surveyed area was 84.3% in 2002. The typical symptoms of the disease appeared first as small, white spots on leaves, stems and pods. Spots, then turn brownish, their edges rised slightly, and powdery mass of yellowish brown spores revealed on them. Severely infected leaves were eventually defoliated. Uredospores were light brown in color, ellipsoid or ovoid in shape and 24~38$\times$21~26 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Teliospores were dark brown in color, ellipsoid or ovoid in shape and 22~42$\times$17~27 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Pedicels were sienna to luteous in color and 52~116 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. The causal fungus was identified as Uromyces viciae-fabae, based on morphological characteristics. This is the first report on the rust of broad bean caused by Uromyces viciae-faae in Korea.

Rust disease was occurred on blackberry lily (Belamcanda chinensis) in several farmer's fields located in Heohwa-myon, Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam province in Korea. The typical symptoms of the disease appeared as small, yellowish spot on leaves at first. The spots then turned brown, their edges rised slightly, and powdery mass of yellow or yellowish green spores appeared on the lesions. Severely infected leaves were blighted and eventually died. Urediniospores were yellow or yellowish brown in color, globoid to ovoid in shape and $21{\sim}46{\times}18{\sim}38\;{\mu}m$ in size. Teliospores were brown in color, oblong or clavate in shape and $32{\sim}64{\times}12{\sim}26\;{\mu}m$ in size. The causal fungus was identified as Puccinia belamcandae based on morphological characteristics and host specificity. This is the first report on the rust of B. chinensis caused by P. belamcandae in Korea.

Cetecol has been known as a component of melanin in teliospores of the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis. Its metabolic precursor has been assumed to be benzoic acid but it has not been proven yet. This study was carried out to verify the synthesis of benzoic acid and to chase its metabolic origin in U. maydis. For this aim, the catabolic process of phenylalanine was investigated by culturing the fungus in the complete medium containing L-$^{14}C$-phenylalanine and $^{14}C$-trans-cinnamic acid. We detected trans-cinnamic acid, benzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives from the extracts of the fungus cells and cultural filtrates by thin layered chromatography analysis. We also observed that the fungus could completely catabolize L-$^{14}C$-phenylalanine and produce $^{14}CO_2$ in the air. Conclusively, this study provided an evidence that U. maydis could produce benzoic acid through catabolic process of phenylalanine.

The studies were carried out to examine susceptibility or resistance of junipers as an inform ediate host of pear rust, to select effective fungicides to pear and juniper rust, and to determine their application time. The telia were formed abundanty on Juniperus chinensis var. kaizuka, moderately on J. chinensis, J. chinensis var. sargentii and J. virginiana, but little on J. chinensis var. globosa and J. utilis. The telia from the junipers were pathogenic to pear. Spraying juniper host with the fungicide Actidione in the 1st and End parts of April greaty inhibited swelling of telia as well as germination of teliospores. The two or three applications of Bayleton at the end of April to May 10 were remarkably effective for the control of pear rust. Fungicide sprays just before rain were more effective than those after rain.

Tilletia laevis Kuhn (syn. Tilletia foetida (Wallr.) Liro.) causes wheat common bunt, which is one of the most devastating plant diseases in the world. Common bunt can result in a reduction of 80% or even a total loss of wheat production. In this study, the characteristics of T. laevis infection in compatible wheat plants were defined based on the combination of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and laser scanning confocal microscopy. We found T. laevis could lead to the abnormal growth of wheat tissues and cells, such as leakage of chloroplasts, deformities, disordered arrangements of mesophyll cells and also thickening of the cell wall of mesophyll cells in leaf tissue. What's more, T. laevis teliospores were found in the roots, stems, flag leaves, and glumes of infected wheat plants instead of just in the ovaries, as previously reported. The abnormal characteristics caused by T. laevis may be used for early detection of this pathogen instead of molecular markers in addition to providing theoretical insights into T. laevis and wheat interactions for breeding of common bunt resistance.

In July 2018, a serious rust symptom was found throughout the fringe trees planted in Gangjin-gun, Korea. Yellow and brown spots were observed on the adaxial (topside) surface of the collected fringe tree leaves, and yellow color aecia were observed on the abaxial (underside) surface leaves. The size of aeciospore and urediniospores of JCK-KCFR1 strain were measured to 41.2 ㎛ (Φ) and 28.84 ㎛ (Φ) with a light microscope. Phylogenetic analysis of the small subunit rRNA, internal transcribed spacer, and large subunit rRNA region indicated that JCK-KCFR1 strain is novel species of the genus Puccinia and closely related to Puccinia kusanoi, which has been reported a rust pathogen on bamboo. In May 2019, rust symptoms were also discovered on the bamboo leaves planted around the fringe tree on Muwisa-ro, and their telia and teliospores were observed on the abaxial leaf surfaces of the bamboo with 100% sequence homology with the rust of the fringe tree. This is the first report that Puccinia sp. JCK-KCFR1 is a new species that requires both primary (fringe tree) and alternative (bamboo) host plants to complete its life cycle in Korea.
