Abstract
This research was conducted to develop a simple and effective method for pathogenicity assay of the causal agent of bacterial canker on kiwifruit. The developed method is a modified version of syringe-infiltration method that is used in the assay fer the hypersensitive response assay. Bacterial cell suspensions in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer(pH 7.5) were infiltrated using a plastic syringe with 25G needle into primary leaves of five-year-old kiwifruit. Typical symptoms of bacterial canker were observed five days after infiltration. Symptoms developed on the leaves were detected in these inocula that treated above 10$^4$cfu/ml or above. Using this technique, host range of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae and three other plant pathogenic pseudomonads were investigated for 25 different plant species. The various symptoms were showed depend-ing on different plant species and inoculated pathogen combinations. This method has the advantage that symptoms can be showed faster compared to other methods and high humid conditions are not required.
참다래 궤양병의 간단하고 효율적인 병원성 검정법을 개발하고자 수행하였다. 이 검정법은 과민성반응(hypersensitive reaction) 검정법을 변형한 것으로 병원균을 50 mM 인산 완충액(pH 7.5)에 현탁하여 5년생 참다래 상위엽에 주사기를 이용하여 엽육세포에 주입하였다. 병징은 접종 2일 후부터 보이기 시작하여 4일후에 판정이 가능하였으며 검정한계 농도는 $10^4$cfu/ml이었다. 주사접종법을 이용하여 25종에 대한 기주범위를 검정하였을 때 병원균과 기주에 따라 여러 가지 병징을 보였다. 이 검정법은 습도와 관계없이 빠르게 병징을 나타내는 효과적인 방법이었다.
