Abstract
Leaf spot symptoms were observed in a commercial Palenopsis cultivated fields. Circular-elliptical watersoaked spots surrounded by a light green or yellow halo and turned to black when it was severe infection or blacken with gathered symptoms. These spots were finally enlarged to form of larger areas. Under the favorable conditions of temperature and moisture, the infection extended rapidly and dispersed to the crown and sometimes the infected plant became dead. A bacterial organism, isolated from the advancing margins of the lesions, was tested to characterize causing bacterium based on pathogenicity. The biochemical and physiological tests of that bacterium identified that as an Acidovorax avenae subsp. cattleyae. Therefore, we suggested to call that the new Phalaenopsis disease was bacterial brown spot caused by A.avenae subsp. cattleyae in Korea.
팔레놉시스 주요 재배지역인 경기, 부산에서 잎에 점무늬를 형성하며 병반의 가장자리는 선명한 노란색을 띄며, 잎 뒷면을 햇빛에 비춰볼 때 수침상을 나타내었고 병징이 심해지면 수침상 점무늬 병반이 합쳐지면서 잎 전체가 짙은 갈색으로 말라죽었다. 팔레놉시스 잎의 병반부로부터 세균을 분리하여 생리생화학적 방법, 병원성 시험결과 Acidovorax avenae subsp. cattleyae로 동정하였으며 이 병을 팔레놉시스 세균성갈색점무늬병으로 명명하였다.
