초록
2005년 7월 경기도 파주시 시설재배 농가에서 완숙토마토 과실의 배꼽 부위가 암갈색으로 변하면서 낙과되는 피해가 발생하였다. 병반 표면에 옅은 분홍색의 곰팡이가 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 병든 식물체에서 병원균을 분리하여 균학적 특징을 검토한 결과 Trichothecium roseum으로 동정되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 가지고 이 병을 T. roseum에 의한 토마토 분홍빛열매썩음병으로 제안하고자 한다.
Pink mold rot of tomato occurred very severly on tomato farm in Paju, Gyounggi Province, Korea, in July 2005. The infected fruits were dropped and abandoned and the symptoms were similar to calcium deficient tomatoes. But symptom was a slight water-soaked area on or near the blossom end of the fruit and firm greyish-brown lesions were most found at the blossom-end of affected fruits. lesions caused by the pink mold fungus possess a water soaked margin and rise to characteristic orange-pink spores. Also when the diseased tomato was cut, the inside of tomatoes showed completely rotted with pink mold. The causal fungus was identified as Trichothecium roseum based on mycological characteristics. This is the first report of T. roseum infecting greenhouse tomatoes in Korea.
