Black rot of Chinese cabbage caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is one of the most severe diseases in crop cultivation. To define the resistance characteristics of Chinese cabbage to Xcc, we tested the virulence of eight Xcc isolates in four susceptible cultivars of Chinese cabbage. The isolates of Xcc showed different the virulence on the cultivars. On the other hand, we selected 22 resistant or moderately resistant cultivars of Chinese cabbage to Xcc and tested the occurrence of black rot on the cultivars caused by the isolates of Xcc. Mean disease severity of black rot on the Chinese cabbage caused by each isolate was also positively correlated with the virulence of Xcc isolates. Furthermore, the development of black rot in each cultivar increased according to virulence of Xcc isolates. The number of resistant cultivars of Chinese cabbage to eight isolates of Xcc decreased according to the virulence increase of bacteria. Taken together, these results suggest that resistance of Chinese cabbage cultivars to Xcc is likely affected by the virulence of Xcc isolates, but not result from race differentiation.

Capsicum pepper selections fro PI163192, PI241670, PI244670, PI271322, PI308787, PI322719, and PI369994 were confirmed to be non-hypersensitively resistant to race 3 of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria. A resistant cultivar,‘SR’, was shown to be hypersensitive. Four Koran local cultivars, a cytoplasmic male sterile line (A-line) and its maintainer (B-line) were highly susceptible. The resistant selections and cultivars were crossed with a male sterile A-line (Smsms) and fertility of their F1 hybrids was examined by observing he pollen production, testing pollen germination, and quantifying the amount of pollen produced per anther to identify the genotype interacting with the male sterile cytoplasm. The seven resistant PI selections turned out to be restorers (N(S)MsMs) and‘SR’to be a maintainer (Nmsms).

Inoculation of primary pepper leaves with an avirulent strain of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria induced systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in secondary leaves. This SAR response was accompanied by the systemic expression of defense-related genes, a systemic microoxidative burst generating H2O2, and the systemic induction of ion-leakage and callose deposition in the non-inoculated, secondary leaves. Some defense-related genes encoding PR-1, chitinase, peroxidase, PR10, thionin, defensin and zinc-finger protein were distiilctly induced in the systemic leaves. The systemically striking accumulation of H$_2$O$_2$and strong increase in peroxidase activity in pepper was suggested to contribute to the triggering of cell death In the systemic micro-HRs, leading to the induction of SAR. Treatment of non-inoculated, secondary leaves with diphenylene iodinium (DPI), an inhibitor of the oxidative burst, substantially reduced the induction of some defense-related genes and subsequently SAR.

Twenty-six cabbage rot samples were collected from markets and main cabbage-growing areas in Korea and isolates of pathogenic bacteria were obtained from the collection. According to their bacteriological characteristics and pathogenicity, the majority of rot bacteria were identified as Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora. Pseudomollas cichorii. P. viridiflava and Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestri. Among these four species, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora and X. campestris pv. campestris were found to cause serious damage to cabbage production throughout Korea. Two species of the causal bacteria were sometimes isolates from a single cabbage rot sample and it suggest that the mixed infection of the two bacteria be occurred under field condition.

The 719 isolates of Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae collected in Honam district during 1980-1984 were classified with new differential cultivars: 466($64-.8\%$) were pathotype K1, 116$(16.1\%)$ pathotype K2, 130$(18.1\%)$ pathotyps K3, and 7$(1.0\%)$ pathotype K4. No isolate for pathotype K5 was found. The isolates of pathotypes K1, K2 and K3 were distributed in the geographic regions, Haenam, Gwangyang, Gangjin, Wando, Igsan, and Buan. The isolates of all pathotypes were obtained from Milyang 23, Nagdong, and Dongjin which were susceptible to all the pathotypestested, while most of the isolates belonging to pathotype K3 and K4 were obtained from pungsan, Baegyang, Samgwang and Milyang 30.

Pepper genetic resources consisting of introductions from Mexico and Nepal and susceptible and resistant controls were tested for resistance to gray leaf spot and to bacterial spot by serially inoculating the two disease pathogens, Stemphylium spp. first and Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria next, with application of fungicide after evaluation of resistance to gray leaf spot first. KC866, KC872, KC902, KC905 were resistant to gray leaf spot in addition to known resistance sources, KC43, KC47, KC220, KC319, KC320, KC380. KC897 was on the top of the resistance sources list, even better than KC177(163192), and was followed by KC889, KC896, KC898, all of which were introductions from Nepal.

This experiment was conducted to study the multiplication and spread of bacterial population in water exuded through the hydathode of infected leaf of Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae in resistant and susceptible rice cultivars to bacterial leaf blight. The results obtained are summarized as follows. The bacterial multiplication in resistant cultivars was almost constant from three days to twelve days after inoculation with population of 10$^3$-10$^4$cfu/$\textrm{cm}^2$, but the multiplication was increased as days after inoculation extended in susceptible cultivars. The speed of bacterial multiplication and the number of bacteria spread above and below the inoculated position were closely related with the resistance of rice cultivars to bacterial leaf blight. The bacterial multiplication and spread were observed throughout the all growing stages including seedling, maximum tillering and flag leaf stages. The bacterial populations in water exuded through the hydathode were dependent on the multiplication and spread, and the populations were also closely related with the resistance of rice cultivars.

Cyclic AMP receptor-like protein (Clp), is known to be a global transcriptional regulator for the expression of virulence factors in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc). Sequence analysis showed that Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) contains a gene that is strongly homologous to the Xcc clp. In order to determine the role of the Clp homolog in Xoo, a marker exchange mutant of $clp_{xoo4158}$ was generated. Virulence and virulence factors, such as the production of cellulase, xylanase, and extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) and swarming motility were significantly decreased in the $clp_{xoo4158}$ mutant. Moreover, the mutation caused the strain to be more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide and to over-produce siderophores. Complementation of the mutant restored the mutation-related phenotypes. Expression of $clp_{xoo4158}$, assessed by reverse-transcription realtime PCR and clp promoter activity, was significantly reduced in the rpfB, rpfF, rpfC, and rpfG mutants. These results suggest that the clp homolog, $clp_{xoo4158}$, is involved in the control of virulence and resistance against oxidative stress, and that expression of the gene is controlled by RpfC and RpfG through a diffusible signal factor (DSF) signal in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae KACC10859.
