Occurrence of tomato late blight (Phytophthora infestans) has caused significant losses in tomato yield in all over the world. Evaluation of the level of resistance in tomato gene resources for main breeding and initiation of the resistance breeding program are important for control of this disease. Resistant assay of 78 tomato cultivars/lines to late blight in pots and field experiment was carried out under controlled and natural conditions in 2009. All commercial cultivars including 'Legend' were susceptible. However, 10 lines including KNU-2, KNU-6-1, KNU-11, KNU-13, KNU-14-1 lines distributed from University of California, Riverside and L3708, $AV107-4{\times}L3708$, $07-15{\times}L3708$, $BS67{\times}L3708$ lines which have resistant gene Ph-3 and $06-9-62A{\times}06-9-62A$ were highly resistant to late blight. These highly resistant lines can be used as resources of resistance to late blight in a tomato breeding program in future.

The antibacterial protein gene, nuecin was expressed in Sf9 cells using baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). The antibactetial activity of mature nuecin against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, Ralstonia solanacearum and Pseudomonas tolaasii was significantly high, demonstrating that nuecin had a wider antibacterial spectrum on gram negative and positive bacteria. The result appears to be superior to other antibacterial peptide, attacin. The nuecin was purified by SP-sepharose and Mono Q HR ion-exchange chromatography, and then by Superdex 200 HR 10/30 column. The purified nuecin is quite stable at 80$\^{C}$ and 100$\^{C}$ for several hours of incubation and in a wide pH range (pH 2-12).

Bacterial blight is one of the most serious diseases of rice (Oryza sativa L.), and it has been known that Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes this disease symptom. To develop resistance rice cultivars against Xoo, 3,000 lines of $M_3$ mutants, which were irradiated with gamma ray, were tested by 'scissor-dip method' primarily, and 191 putative resistant lines were selected. In $M_4$ generation, these lines were screened again with various ways such as measuring of symptom of bacterial blight in leaf, number of tiller, fresh weight, and phenotypic segregation ratio in next generation. Finally, six resistance lines were selected. RT-PCR analysis revealed that these lines displayed high level of R-genes such as Xa21, Pi36, and Pi-ta. These results indicate that mutations by gamma ray cause disruptions of regulatory signal transduction systems of these R-genes. Furthermore, these selected mutants could be useful for the development of rice cultivar resistant to Xoo.

The white flowered 'Eorayeon 1ho' is the first Kangwon National University cultivar of L. ${\times}$ formolonga, commonly known as seed propagating lily. Crosses were conducted from 1999 to 2003 among the selected selfing lines($S_3$) of L. longiflorum 'Lorina', L. ${\times}$ formolonga 'Augusta' and 'Raizan Herald'. A new cultivar was preliminarily selected as 'E-No.1' in 2003 for its stable upward flowering habit. The evaluation of characteristics was investigated from 2003 to 2004 in Chuncheon and Yungweol, Kangwon province. 'Eorayeon 1ho' blooms in early July at outside, with high resistance to Botrytis and having upward flowering habit. The plant height is 112.4 cm and the percentage of seed germination is 96.4%. This seed propagating cultivar shows good quality as a cut flower and low blasting rate.

Sclerotinia rot was occurred on the leaf and stem of Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. in greenhouse field of Pohang city of Gyeongbuk province in Korea. The typical symptom of the disease was light brown spot and tipburn on infected leaves. The colony of the isolated fungus was white to light gray in color. Asci were cylindrical shape and 75-240×5.9-17.3 ㎛ in size. Apothecia were cup-shaped with numerous asci and 0.5-0.9 cm in size. Ascospores were aseptate and ellipsoid in shape, and 8.4-10.7×4.8-5.8 ㎛ in size. Sclerotia formed on the plants and potato dextrose agar medium were globose to irregular in shape and black in color. Partial sequencing of rDNA of this isolate showed that it was 100% consistent with that of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. It was confirmed that the same lesion was formed by reinoculating this pathogen on a healthy P. japonicum Thunb. and the same strain was isolated. This is the first report on the Sclerotinia rot of P. japonicum Thunb. caused by S. sclerotiorum in Korea.

Pseudomonas parafulva PpaJBCS1880 (PpaJBCS1880) isolated from rice seeds showed strong antagonistic activity against bacterial plant pathogens by producing lipopeptide. Furthermore, the strain controlled the incidence of bacterial pustule in soybean plants and promoted the growth of rice plants. Here we present complete genome sequence of PpaJBCS1880. The genome comprises of 5,208,480 bp with GC content of 63.4%, which includes 4,487 predicted protein-coding genes, 19 rRNAs, and 74 tRNAs. Genome analysis revealed genes encoding antimicrobial secondary metabolites such as lipopeptide, pyoverdine, phenazine, and hydrogen cyanide, which are known to play essential roles in biocontrol of plant diseases.

Burcucumber (Sicyos angluatus) is a representative ecosystem-disturbing plant in Korea and currently widely spread throughout the country. A sclerotia-forming fungus with moderate host selectivity, Sclerotinia trifoliorum BWC98-105, was tested in the laboratory, green house and natural habitat for its pathogenicity to burcucumber. When mycelial culture fragment was inoculated to burcucumber seedlings under the green house condition, mycelial growth was observed in the following day, and then resulted in the onset of wilting from 5 days after inoculation (DAI). Its characteristic sclerotia as a sign was observed from 7 DAI, and thus plants turned into dark-brown color at the bottom of stem of burcucumber that was eventually blighted at 14 DAI. Similar visible symptoms were observed in natural habitat. Based on the results of showing typical blight symptom to burcucumber and the sign of sclerotia, we report S. trifoliorum BWC98-105 causing stem blight against burcucumber. Its globular pellet was considered of having quite potential as a bioherbicide to control burcucumber in Korea.

본 연구에서는 자생 참나무속 2종의 몇 가지 저광량 조건하에서 생육 및 엽록소 형광 반응을 조사하였다. 연구의 재료는 참가시나무(Quercus salicina Blume)와 붉가시나무(Q. acuta Thunb.)의 2년생 실생묘를 사용하였다. 다양한 실내 광환경조건을 조사하여 광량을 10, 50, 100 및 200 PPFD (${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$)로 설정하였으며, 실험기간 동안 광주기(12/12 h), 온도($25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) 및 습도($55{\pm}3%$)를 동일하게 설정하여 총 8주간 재배하였다. 대조구는 유리온실에서 동일기간 동안 재배된 식물을 사용하였다. 연구의 결과, 참가시나무는 50 PPFD 이하에서 전체 식물 중 50%가 잎이 마르며 떨어지는 경향을 보였으며, 100 PPFD에서도 25%의 잎마름이 관찰되었다. 200 PPFD는 줄기직경을 제외한 초장, 엽수, 엽장, 엽폭 및 엽록소 함량(SPAD)이 대조구와 유사하거나 높았으며, 엽록소 형광 반응에서도 모든 측정값이 대조구와 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 붉가시나무는 50 PPFD 이상의 광량에서는 줄기직경, 엽수, 엽장 및 SPAD가 대조구와 유사하거나 높은 결과를 보였으나, 모든 광량조건에서 초장과 엽폭이 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다. 엽록소 형광 반응은 모든 광량에서 대조구와 비슷한 양상을 보였으나, 10 PPFD는 초기형광값(Fo)과 비광학적 에너지의 손실(DIo/RC)이 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 결과를 보였다.

Here, we present the first morphological description of a larval Naso hexacanthus (5.2 mm in body length) from the East China Sea identified by cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcoding. The larva had a kite-shaped body with long serrated first spine of dorsal and anal fins. There were four melanophores on the base of the anal fin, dense melanophores on the caudal peduncle, and scattered melanophores on the surface of the brain. There was one small spine on the snout and behind each eye, with serrations on the head, top of the eye, inner- and outer-preopercle, and on the lower part and side of the opercle. The morphological characteristics of larval N. hexacanthus identified by COI barcoding will be useful for species identification of larval fish.

This study was conducted to identify the possibility of paddy weeds served as the host plant of bacterial leaf blight, using various bacterial groups and inoculation methods. The results obtained can be summarized as follows. 1. Alopecurns spp., Setaria viridis P. Beauv., and Leersia juponica Makino were identified the most susceptible to bacterial leaf blight, similar to Milyang 23 which was used as a susceptible check variety. The others such as Digitaria adscendens Hem., Eleusine indic aGaertin., Cyperns serotinus Rottb, Cyperns difformis L. showed slight infection but most of broadleaf weeds were resistant to bacterial leaf blight. 2. Weed species showing early susceptibility maintained their susceptibility throughout the growth stages. Group I of bacterial leaf blight was the most effective to develop infection symptom to weeds. 3. Pin and scissor inoculation methods were more effective mean for infection than spray method which was used without wound.
