Abstract

From 2014 to 2016, approximately 5% of okra fruit were observed displaying gray mold symptoms at the research field of Jeollabuk-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Korea. The symptoms observed were water-soaked, brown or gray spots, and abundant mycelial with conidia appearing on the infected fruit. Initial infection commenced from the base of fruit and gradually moved to the pod, where it finally resulted in collapse. Colonies on potato dextrose agar were gray to grayish brown, felted and cottony expanding 65-80 mm after one week. The fungus formed several black sclerotia ranging $1.0-3.5{\times}0.5-3.0mm$ on the Petri dish after two weeks. The conidia were one-celled, ellipsoidal or ovoid, colorless or pale brown, and $6.2-15.4{\times}5.0-10.4{\mu}m$. Conidiophores arose solitary or in groups, straight or flexuous, septate, with an inflated basal cell brown to light brown, and measured $85-450{\times}10.0-40.0{\mu}m$. On the basis of the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of internal transcribed spacer rDNA, the fungus was identified as Botrytis cinerea Pers. Pathogenicity of a representative isolate was proved by artificial inoculation, fulfilling Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the occurrence of B. cinerea on okra in Korea.

2014년부터 2016년까지 전라북도농업기술원(익산) 시험연구포장에 식재한 오크라에서 잿빛곰팡이병이 5%정도 발생하였다. 초기 감염은 열매의 기저부에서 갈색 또는 회색의 점무늬로부터 시작하여 꼬투리와 줄기 쪽으로 확대되었고, 수침상으로 분생포자와 함께 많은 균사가 형성되다. 감자한천배지에서 균사 생육은 직경이 65-80 mm/7일이었으며, 중앙부와 가장자리에서 진한 쥐색으로 양모상이었다. 2주간 배양된 병원균은 배지 위에 작고 검은색의 균핵을 형성하였으며, 크기는 $1.0-3.5{\times}0.5-3.0mm$이었다. 병원균의 분생포자는 무색 또는 회색의 단세포이며, 구형 또는 타원형으로 크기는 $6.2-15.4{\times}5.0-10.4{\mu}m$이었다. 또한 수지상으로 분지한 분생포자경위에 포도 송이와 같이 분생포자가 집단적으로 형성되었다. 분생포자경은 갈색 또는 투명한 색의 수지상으로 크기는 $85-450{\times}10.0-40.0{\mu}m$이었다. 균학적 특징, 병원성 검정, ITS rDNA 염기서열 비교분석 등의 결과를 바탕으로 이 병은 우리나라에서 지금까지 보고되지 않은 Botrytis cinerea Pers.에 의한 오크라 잿빛곰팡이병으로 명명하고자 한다.
