Resistance to Bacterial Wilt in Pepper (Capsicum anuum L.)

고추의 풋마름병(靑枯病)에 대한 저항성

Experiments were conducted to determine the method of nioculation and inoculum level, and the optimum age of pepper seedlings for evaluation of resistance to bacterial wilt in pepper. Injection of bacterial suspension(107~108 cells/ml) to the leaf axil of the 3rd or 4th leaf of pepper, and drenching the soil planted with pepper seedling after wounding roots with scalpel, resulted in good varietal difference in resistance to bacterial wilt. PI377688, PI358812 and PI369994 of 298 open-pollinated lines and 10 hybrids tested for resistance to bacterial wilt were highly resistant and such local cultivars as Masan, Anjinbaengi, Kimyongcho and Punggakcho moderately resistant.
