Abstract

Sclerotium rot of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) occurred at the experimental field of Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services in July 2012. The typical symptoms included wilt, rot, and water-soaking on stems and fruits and severely infected plants eventually died. White mycelial mats spread over lesions, and then sclerotia were formed on fruit and near soil line. The sclerotia were globoid in shape, white to brown in color and 1-3 mm in size and the hyphal width was 4-8 ${\mu}m$. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth and sclerotia formation on PDA was $30^{\circ}C$. The typical clamp connections were observed in the hyphae of the fungus grown on PDA. For further identification, the complete internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA region was amplified and sequenced. On the basis of mycological characteristics, ITS rDNA region comparison, and pathogenicity to host plants, this fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo. This is the first report of sclerotium rot on cucumber caused by S. rolfsii in Korea.

경상남도농업기술원 시험포장에서 S. rolfsii에 의한 오이 흰비단병 증상이 발생하였다. 전형적인 병징으로 시들음, 썩음, 줄기와 과실 수침상을 보였고 감염된 식물체는 결국 시들어 말라 죽었다. 병반부와 토양 표면에 흰색의 곰팡이가 발생하며 갈색의 작고 둥근 균핵이 형성되었다. 감자한천배지에서 균총은 흰색이고 잘 자라며 배양기간이 경과됨에 따라 갈색의 작은 둥근 균핵을 많이 형성하였다. 균핵의 크기는 1-3 mm이며 균사의 폭은 4-8 ${\mu}m$였다. 균사생육과 균핵 형성 적온은 $30^{\circ}C$이었다. 주사전자현미경 검경결과 균사 특유의 clamp connection이 관찰되었다. 코흐의 가설을 만족하기 위해, 50일간 키운 오이 유묘를 이용하여 병원성 검정을 실시한 결과 흰비단병 특유의 병징을 유도하였다. 오이에서 발생한 병징과 병원균의 균학적 특징, 그리고 ITS rDNA 염기서열 비교분석 결과, 이 병을 Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo에 의한 오이 흰비단병으로 명명하고자 제안한다.
