Graft transmission and cytopathological studies of a severe pear disease, pear black necrotic leafspot（PBNLS), were carried out to determine the causal agent of the disease. No evidence was found that a fungal or bacterial pathogen could be the causal agent of the disease. Attempts to transmit the agent by sap-inoculation to other plants including herbaceous hosts failed. How-ever, the pathogen was readily graft-transmitted from symptomatic diseased pears to healthy pears. Graft transmission of the pathogen was also demonstrated by using an indicator plant, PS-95, developed in the laboratory through various grafting methods. Ultrastructural study of the disease revealed the consistent presence of flexuous rod-shaped virus-like particles (VLP) in the symptomatic leaves of both Niitaka cultivar and indicator pear, PS-95. The particles, approximately 12 nm in diameter with undetermined length, occurred in the cytoplasm of mesophyll parenchyma cells. Cells with VLPs also contained fibril-containing vesicles, which are common in cells infected with plant viruses with ssRNA genome. The vesicles were formed at the tonoplast. Based on the symptomatology, the presence of fibril-containing vesicles, and graft-transmissibility, it is believed that the VLPs that occurred on symptomatic leaves of black necrotic leafspot of pear are viral in nature, possibly those of a capillovirus.

사과는 국내 과수산업에서 가장 많이 재배되고 있는 과종이다. 하지만 apple mosaic virus (ApMV), apple stem grooving capillovirus (ASGV), apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd)와 같은 바이러스 및 바이로이드에 감염되면 과실의 수확량 감소 및 품질 저하를 야기시킨다. 본 연구에서는 국내 사과 농가에서 가장 많이 감염되어 있는 ASGV 바이러스를 제거하기 위한 효율적인 무병화 시스템을 확립하고자 하였다. ASGV에 감염된 폿트묘를 36℃, 38℃, 40℃가 유지되는 항온·항습장치에서 4주간 열처리를 수행하였으며, 신초 생장율과 바이러스 제거율을 조사하였다. 신초 생장률은 36℃ 처리구에서 가장 높았으며 신초의 중간부와 상단부는 바이러스가 제거되었으나 하단부는 바이러스가 제거되지 않았다. 38℃, 40℃ 처리구는 신초의 모든 구간에서 바이러스가 제거되지 않았으며, 40℃ 처리구는 신초의 생장 없이 열처리 3주 후 고사되었다. 36℃ 온도에서 열처리된 폿트묘의 경정을 절취하여 기외에서 접목하였으며 94%의 생존율과 20%의 바이러스 제거율을 보였다. 따라서 열처리 및 경정접목을 통해 무병묘 생산이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) belongs to Capillovirus and infects pome fruits. Transmission mode of ASGV is known by grafting and mechanical inoculation into susceptible hosts, not by any other natural vectors. But we have observed the spread of ASGV in the field without mechanical inoculation or grafting. Transmission seems to be occurred from tree-to-tree and tree-to-susceptible herbaceous plants along but not across ditches in the field. In order to ascertain this possibility, various fungi were isolated and cultured from ASGV-infected plants and 69 isolates were characterized. By means of RNA dot-blot hybridization and PCR analysis, 3 isolates were sorted out for further studies. The isolates were identified to Tataromyces sp. and belonged to Phenicillium by morphological characteristics and molecular markers. As an experimental host, 10 kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) were screened and Kyunggi-5 was selected for virus amplification and symptom development. Kyunggj-5 infected by fungi which seemed to carry ASGV showed the typical disease symptoms and viral coat protein genes were detected from all tested plants. To confirm the Koch's rule, fungi cultured from inoculation origins of kidney bean were grown on PDA media and re-inoculated to hosts. The fungi isolated from inoculation origins induced the typical disease symptoms on hosts. However virus free fungi did not induce any symptom on the experimental hosts. This bioassay showed that these typical symptoms were caused by virus, not fungi.
