Abstract

A new pathogen was isolated from zoysiagrass-planted park of Jeju island in 2014. Symptoms appeared a type of irregular patches occurring brownish leaf blight, followed by stem and crown rot. The symptom was very similar to that of large patch caused by Rhizoctonia solani, a well-known devastating zoysiagrass disease. The isolate showed thin orange-colored mycelia and screlotia were formed on the medium based on cultural characteristics. The causal agent of the disease was finally identified as Waitea circinata by analysis of ribosomal DNA. On the inoculation test, Waitea circinatae showed strong pathogenicity to the zoysiagrass. The mycelia were obviously observed in the inoculated tissues. This is the first report of Waitea ring patch caused by Waitea circinata on zoysiagrass.

Zoysiagrass는 대표적인 난지형 잔디로 Curvularia leaf spot, Large patch, Rhizoctonia blight, Spring dead spot, 그리고 Dollar spot 등의 다양한 병에 직면해 있으며 최근에는 많은 병원균들의 복합 감염에 의한 잔디병 양상을 보이고 있다. 최근에 패취형태의 병반을 가진 zoysiagrass 엽조직으로 부터 Rhizoctonia 속과 유사한 곰팡이를 분리하였다. 리보소옴 DNA의 염기서열을 분석하여 Waitea circinata 균주들과 98% 이상의 상동성을 보였고, Koch's 법칙에 따라 zoysiagrass에서 병원성을 확인하여 이 병의 주 원인균은 Waitea circinata로 판명되었다. 따라서 본 병은 zoysiagrass에서 Waitea circinata에 의해 최초로 국내에서 발생한 병으로 사료되며, 기본 병명과 동일하게 Waitea ring patch로 사용하기를 제안하고자 한다.
