The study has been carried out to compare the pathogenicity, physiological characteristics and genetic reliability between rough colony type strain and smooth colony type strains of Pseudomonas mori (Boyer et Lambert) Stevens which were isolated from diseased plant parts in 5 different areas throughout country. The results are summarized as follow. 1. The rough colony type strain showed more agressive reactions to tested host plant varieties than smooth colony type strains though there was no differences in the appearence of lesion types caused by both strains. 2. Both colony types were differentiated morphologically in that the rough colony type strain was having more than 200r long filamentous body without flagella where as the smooth colony type strains have short rods with one or several polar flagella. 3. The colony of smooth type strains was circular, entire, smooth and opaque, while the rough type strain shelved endulated, irregular margin, rough and wrinkled colony on nutrient agar media. 4. There were no differences between both colony types in the physiological and serological test. 5. Both of smooth and rough colony type strains showed genetic reliability through more than 100 succeeding cultures on the media, and were stable to various chemicals such as 1 to 3 percent of NaCl, 5 kinds of organic acid and 4 kinds of antibiotics.

Except for a cosmopolitan and major pest of apples, Tetranychus urticae Koch, Tetranychus mites in Korea such as T. viennensis Zaher, T. kanzawai Kishida, and T. truncams Ehara have been considered as quarantine pests by Canada and United States. Even though these mites are not feeders on apples, they are suspected to attach accidentally on apple h i t s in autumn as females enter the diapause. The characters used to identify Tetranychus mites have been confined to the shape of aedeagus in adult male. To develope a fast and accurate alternative identification protocol applied to hibernating female mites on apples, their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were examined to find out any polymorphisms to discriminate each species from the other ones. Three pairs of primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to amplify cytochrome oxidase subunit I (CO-I) coding region in mitochondrial DNA5 of four species of Tetranycus mites. The longest amplified product was estimated its size as about 680 bp. Digestion with restriction enzymes, AluI, Ddel, and Sau3A, showed length polymorphisms, which will he useful as diagnostic markers to identify Tetranychus mites. Schematic restriction maps in amplified region were shown for each species.

Effect of mulberry tree powders on the antioxidant activity of submerged -liquid culture of mushrooms was investigated. Agaricus blazei (AB), Hericicum erinacium (HE), Pleurotus ostreatus (PO), Phellinus linteu (PL) and Paecilomyces japonicus (PJ) were cultured in a shaking incubator (200 rpm, $25^{\circ}C$) for 7 days in culture media: 1) basal medium (BM) and 2) BM+1% mulberry tree powders (BMM). Hot water extracts from the submerged-liquid cultures of mushrooms and BMM were freeze-dried for the measurement of antioxidant activity, of which reaction mixture (25 mL: 10 mL of 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 8.0; 4.5 mL distilled water; and 10.5 mL ethanol) contained 275 $\mu$mol linoleic acid and one mg test sample. The reaction mixture was incubated in a shaking incubator (200 rpm, 4$0^{\circ}C$) for 16 days. Peroxide value (POV) was measured for a period of over 16 days, and malonaldehyde (MA) was determined only for samples from the day 16 of incubation. Mycelial weight of mushroom strains cultured in BMM was greater than BM. The antioxidant activities of AB-cultured in BW (AB-BMM) and HE-cultured in BMM (HE-BMM) were superior to those of other mushroom strains-cultured in BMM or BM and of BMM. These results suggest that mulberry tree powders enhance the antioxidant activity of submerged-liquid culture of mushroom strains. The AB-BMM and HE-BMM were the most active cultures.

Armillaria spp are well known as a symbiotic fungus with Gastrodia elata. This study was carried out to identify and analyze the genetic relationships among 83 strains of Armillaria spp.. The amplified internal transcribed spacer(ITS) region of the rDNA was about 500~750 bp long and identified by 9 strains; A. mellea, A. tabescens, A. ostoyae, A. gallica, A. novae-zenlandia, A. cepistipes, A. nabsnona, A. gemina, A. sinapina. Sequence analysis showed that 52% of strains were different with original identification. A. gallica, A. cepistipes and A. gemina were so close phylogenetic relationship, that was difficult to classify using ITS region. In A. gallica, 12 strains including ASI10104 were showed a close phylogenetic relationship with A. gallica, A. cepistipes and A. gemina. ASI10017 and ASI10114 were classified as the A. sinapina group, ASI10045 was the A. borealis group, ASI10002 and ASI10025 were the A. ostoyae group. So more studies need for more accurate identification and determine the phylogenetic relationships of Armillaria spp.

To make clear the changes of the amount of reserve substances in the bark of stem and root of mulberry graftages after planting, studies were carried with mulberry graftages classified into three groups of 7.0-7.9mm, 9.0-9.9mm and 11.0-11.9mm in diameter of stems at 3cm above their base. The results obtained were as follow : 1. The dry weight of stem and root bark gradually decreased with growth of new shoots till about five weeks after planting, and from then it increased. 2. The duration of new shoots growth depending on the reserve substance was limited for 6-7 weeks after planting. In no fertilized group, the length of new shoots increased up to 6-7 weeks, form then decrease. 3. Dry leaf yield three weeks after planting was found to be no difference in the same diameter of saplings between with and without fertilization. 4. The content of chlorophyll in the leaves was higher in thicker group and in fertilized group than thinner and no fertilized one, respectively. 5. There was no difference in the amount of carbohydrates of the bark of stem and root among the stem diameters. There was a transient increase in the amount of total sugar in the bark of stem and root in the first three weeks after planting, followed by gradual decline up to five weeks. The amount of reducing sugar in the bark of stem and root increased both in fertilized and in no fertilized group up to three weeks after planting, and then it decreased. There was a gradual decline in the content of starch in the bark of stem and root both in fertilized and in no fertilized group up to five weeks after planting, followed by gradual increase.

Seven phytoplasma diseases have been occurred on floricultural crops in Korea : Ph-ch1 and Ph-ch2 of chrysanthemum, Ph-lily of lily, petunia flat stem-Korean (PFS-K) of petunia, poinsettia branch inducing- Korean (PoiBI-K) of poinsettia, statis witches' broom-Korean (SWB-K) of statis and azalea witches broom (AWB). Classification of the seven phytoplasmal diseases based on 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences showed that floricultural crop phytoplasma disease were widespread in order of aster yellow (AY), stolbur and X-disease in Korea. In phenotypic characters, the fasciation was occurred in both monocotyledon plant of lily and dicotyledon plants of petunia and poinsettia. Besides, the fascination was occurred in Ph-lily of stolbur, petunia PFS-K of AY and PoiBI-K of X-disease. This result indicated that phytoplasma classification based on 16S rRNA and symptoms are not consistently related. The comparison of 16S rRNA sequence of the seven floricultural crop phytoplasma with five tree phytoplasmal diseases of jujube witches' broom, paulownia witches' broom, wild jujube witches' broom, mulberry dwarf, golden rain phytoplasma occurred in Korea showed as high as 88.5-99.9% homology. Among them, especially mulberry dwarf showed the highest homology with the seven floricultural crop phytoplasms. Based on this result, floricultural crop phytoplasmas were assumed to be transmitted by insect vectors from tree phytoplasmas in Korea.

This study was carried out to analyze the vegetation and soil characteristic, and ordination of the Ilex cornuta population, in the Yongsu Reservoir of Jeju Island. The Ilex cornuta population was classified into Cudrania tricuspidata dominant population, Sageretia theezans dominant population, and Mallotus japonicus dominant population. In the study sites, soil organic matter(O.M.), total nitrogen(T.N.), available phosphorus($P_2O_5$), changeable potassium, changeable calcium, changeable magnesium and soil pH were 14.62~17.35%, 0.39~0.51%, 8.83~20.15mg/kg, 0.44~0.64cmol+/kg, 5.79~6.87cmol+/kg, 3.43~4.19cmol+/kg and 5.41~5.80, respectively. The Mallotus japonicus dominant population was mainly found in the high percentage of available phosphorus, organic matter. It was also showed the lowest concentration of exchangeable K, and Mg. Cudrania tricuspidata dominant population and Sageretia theezans dominant population were found in the low percentage of available phosphorus, organic matter and there were also showed the highest concentration of exchangeable K, and Mg. It is one of the evidence that Ilex cornuta community indicated an intensive site management likes clearance of creeper is proper habitat management protocol. Thus, further researches should be followed to determine the other disturbance factors as management techniques.

To investigate changes of dry weight, C/N ratio, carbohydrate, ratein and nucleic acids in the barks of the hardwood cutting of mulberry plants, the barks of the hardwood cutting were taken every 10days from the cutting day to 40days after cutting. Results were summarized as follows : Growth of shoot and root in Keomseolppong (Morus bimbycis KoIDZ.) after cutting was better than that in kaeryangppon (Morus alba L.) and Daeryugppong(Morus Lhou(SER.) KoIDZ.). Dry weight in the barks of the hardwood cutting decreased up to 40days after cutting (decrease percentage of dry weight : about 14%) and Keomiseolppong showed the highest decrease precentage of dry weight. Change of C/N ratio decreased in the initiation, whereas that from 10days after cutting increased with the growth of new shoot, C/N ratio was the highest in Keomseolppong and the lowest in Kaeryangppong. Total sugar showed decreasing tendency up to 40 days after cutting the increase from 10 days to 20 days. Reducing sugar increased in the frist 20days, followed gradually decrease up to 40 days after cutting Starch levels decreased up to 40 days. Change in the content of starch closely paralleled to that of dry weight of bark of the hardwood cutting. Content of total sugar and starch in Keomseolppong was the highest, and was consumed more than that in the rest of varieties. Crude protein and soluble protein increased up to 10 days after cutting, followed decrease up to 40 days. Protein content of Keomseolppong was smaller than that in the rest of varieties. RNA content showed the same tendency with that of protein content, but Keomseolppong showed always the highest. Content of DNA did not show any change and difference among three varieties.
