Abstract

In June 2015, an exhibited typical signs and symptoms of brown rot was observed on fruit of Apricot cvs. Modern and Alexander at an incidence of 5% of fruit in Jeonju, Korea. Early symptoms on fruit showed small, circular, light brown spots that eventually destroyed the entire fruit. Small sporodochia appeared on the fruit surface. Fruit susceptibility to brown rot increases during the 1 to 2 weeks period prior to harvest. The conidia were one-celled, hyaline, lemon-shaped, $14.6-18.0{\times}8.5-11{\mu}m$, and borne in branched monilioid chains. Based on the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the fungus was identified as Monilinia fructicola. A BLAST search revealed that sequences of the fungus shared 100% identity to those of M. fructicola. Pathogenicity of a representative isolate was proved by artificial inoculation, fulfilling Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report on the occurrence of M. fructicola on apricot in Korea.

2015년 6월에 살구나무(Modern과 Alexander 품종)에 잿빛무늬병이 발생하였으며, 과실에 대한 발병률은 5% 정도였다. 잿빛무늬병은 발생 초기 살구 과실의 표면에 작은 갈색 반점이 생기다가 병이 진전된 후에는 점차 확대되어 수침상의 병반이 퍼지고, 시간이 더 지나면 갈변된 원형의 병반 위에 백색의 포자 덩어리가 밀생하여 결국에는 과실 전체가 부패하였다. 특히, 수확기 1-2주를 앞두고 잿빛무늬병 발생이 더욱 심하였다. M. fructicola 분생포자는 분지된 염주상으로 사슬모양을 나타냈으며, 단생, 투명하고, 난형-레몬형으로 크기는 $14.6-18.0{\times}8.5-11{\mu}m$였다. 살구 잿빛무늬병을 일으키는 병원균의 형태적 특징, 병원성 검정, rDNA의 ITS 영역의 염기서열 분석을 기초로 M. fructicola로 동정하였으며, NCBI에서 BLAST search한 결과 M. fructicola로 등록된 GenBank accession Nos. KC544809, JN176564, FJ515894, KM279616 등과 100% 일치하는 것으로 확인되었다.
