Effects of presservation methods on viability and virulence of Xanthosmonas compestris pv. oryzae were investigated. The incidence of colony-type variants from freeze-dried and deep-frozen cultures was also determined. The suspending medium for freeze-dried cultures containing $10\%$ sucrose and $1\%$ gelatin showed the highest viability, and the virulence was well maintained in the suspending medium containing $2\%$ dextrin, $0.5\%$ ascorbic acid, 0.5% ammonium chloride, $0.5\%$ thiourea, and $0.85\%$ NaCl. Serially transferred cultures became attenuated. Rough colonies which had wrinkled surface occurred at a frequency of $1.9\%$ to $15.8\%$ during freeze-drying and freezing. The rough colonies consisted of nonseptated filamentous cells and rod-shaped cells. The virulence of rough colonies was weak as compared with the normal colony type.

Glycinecin A, a bacteriocin produced by Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines, inhibits the growth of X. c. pv. vesicatoria. We have reported that purified glycinecin A is composed of two polypeptides, is active over a wide range of pH (6 to 9), and is stable at temperatures up to 60$\^{C}$. Glycinecin A is a heterodimer consisting of 39- and 14-kDa subunits; the two encoding genes, glyA and glyB, respectively, have been cloned (Heu et al. 2001. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 67, 4105-4110). Co-expression of glyA and glyB in the same cell is essential for bacteriocin activity. We constructed and produced a chimeric glycinecin A connecting glyA and glyB in one open reading frame. The chimeric glycinecin A has the same bactericidal activity as the wild-type glycinecin A. However, the chimeric glycinecin A is more stable in a wider range of pH and temperature.

A population model of bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria on hot pepper was developed to predict the primary disease infection date. The model estimated the pathogen population on the surface and within the leaf of the host based on the wetness period and temperature. For successful infection, at least 5,000 cells/ml of the bacterial population were required. Also, wind and rain were necessary according to regression analyses of the monitored data. Bacterial spot on the model is initiated when the pathogen population exceeds $10^{15}cells/g$ within the leaf. The developed model was validated using 94 assessed samples from 2000 to 2007 obtained from monitored fields. Based on the validation study, the predicted initial infection dates varied based on the year rather than the location. Differences in initial infection dates between the model predictions and the monitored data in the field were minimal. For example, predicted infection dates for 7 locations were within the same month as the actual infection dates, 11 locations were within 1 month of the actual infection, and only 3 locations were more than 2 months apart from the actual infection. The predicted infection dates were mapped from 2009 to 2012; 2011 was the most severe year. Although the model was not sensitive enough to predict disease severity of less than 0.1% in the field, our model predicted bacterial spot severity of 1% or more. Therefore, this model can be applied in the field to determine when bacterial spot control is required.

Six hundred and twenty five isolates of Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae, cauing bacterial leaf blight (BLB) of rice, were classified into five pathotypes during $1979\~1983$ in Korea. Among them, 483 isolates$(77.3\%)$ were classified as pathotype I, 83 $(13.3\%)$ as pathotype II, 54$(8.6\%)$ as pathotype III, 3 $(0.5\%)$ as pathotype IV and 2$(0.3\%)$ as pathotype V. Pathotype I was the most prevalent throughout the country. Pathotype III was widely distributed in the western or southern parts of Korea, particularly in Jeonnam, Chungnam and Gyeongnam provinces. One isolate of pathotype IV was found in Gyeongnam in 1980, and two isolates were found in Jeonnam in 1981. Most of the isolates were obtained from Milyang 23 varietal group, while the isolates of pathotype III were collected from Yushin and Tongil varietal group.

A total of 238 accessions of peppers (Capsicum spp.) were evaluated for resistance to powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica (Lev.) Arn) in 1998-1999. KC604, 605, 606 and 608 of C. baccatum, KC616 of C. chinense, and KC638, 640, 641, 642, 643 and 644 of C. pubescens were highly resistant and remained disease-free. KC47-1 (PI244670), KC319-1, KC545, KC320 showed only mild infection compared with susceptible control group, 'Chungok' and others. Therefore, they were considered moderately resistant. Among them, KC47-1, KC319-1 and KC320 are sources of resistance to gray leaf spot caused by Stemphylium spp. while KC47-1 is also resistant to bacterial leaf spot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Doidge) Dye). Therefore, they may be used in breeding for multiple resistance to those diseases.

An endophytic bacterial strain was isolated from kimchi, a Korean traditional fermented Brassica campestris and identified as Bacillus subtilis MJMP2 based on the 16S rRNA sequence. This strain showed strong antagonistic activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) KACC10331, the pathogen of bacterial rice blight disease, as well as activity against some other rice phytopathogenic fungi. The active compound was purified through size-exclusion chromatography and preparative High-performance liquid chromatography. The molecular weight was determined as m/z 1043 by mass spectroscopy, which is identical to that of iturin A. Furthermore, a crude extract from the culture supernatant of Bacillus subtilis MJMP2 showed inhibitory activity against rice blight disease in both a rice leaf explant assay and a pot assay. The crude extract also enhanced the length of roots of Arabidopsis thaliana. These results suggest that the strain Bacillus subtilis MJMP2 could be used as a biological agent to control rice blight disease.
