  • The rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae is a global threat to rice production. Here we characterized RHO2 gene (MGG_02457) that belongs to the Rho GTPase family, using a deletion mutant. This mutant ${\Delta}Morho2$ exhibited no defects in conidiation and germination but developed only 6% of appressoria in response to a hydrophobic surface when compared to the wild-type progenitor. This result indicates that MoRHO2 plays a role in appressorium development. Furthermore, exogenous cAMP treatment on the mutant led to appressoria that exhibited abnormal morphology on both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. These outcomes suggested the involvement of MoRHO2 in cAMP-mediated appressorium development. ${\Delta}Morho2$ mutation also delayed the development of appressorium-like structures (ALS) at hyphal tips on hydrophobic surface, which were also abnormally shaped. These results suggested that MoRHO2 is involved in morphological development of appressoria and ALS from conidia and hyphae, respectively. As expected, ${\Delta}Morho2$ mutant was defective in plant penetration, but was still able to cause lesions, albeit at a reduced rate on wounded plants. These results implied that MoRHO2 plays a role in M. oryzae virulence as well.

  • The antifungal activity of super reductive water (SRW) against plant pathogenic fungi was examined to extend its application to integrated pest management (IPM) for plant diseases. Diluted solutions ($\times$1/10, $\times$1/25, and $\times$1/50) of SRW inhibited fungal growth of kiwifruit soft rot pathogen, Diaporthe actinidiae, in a concentration dependent manner, When kiwifruits were inoculated on wounds with mycelium blocks, stock and diluted solutions successfully inhibited the disease development. In addition to the high pH of the SRW, fungistatic activity was also considered as the cause of the antifungal effect against the pathogen. Whereas conidial germination of Magnaporthe grisea was not affected by the diluted SRW solutions, appressorium formation was significantly inhibited in a concentration dependent manner, With little harmfulness to human health and environment SRW could be used to control plant pathogenic fungi, particularly appressorium-forming fungal pathogens.

  • NADPH oxidase (Nox) complexes are known to play essential roles in differentiation and proliferation of many filamentous fungi. However, the functions of Noxs have not been elucidated in Colletotrichum species. Therefore, we set out to characterize the roles of Nox enzymes and their regulators in Colletotrichum scovillei, which causes serious anthracnose disease on pepper fruits in temperate and subtropical and temperate region. In this study, we generated targeted deletion mutants for CsNox1, CsNox2, CsNoxR, and CsNoxD via homologous recombination. All deletion mutants were normal in mycelial growth, conidiation, conidial germination, and appressorium formation, suggesting that CsNox1, CsNox2, CsNoxR, and CsNoxD are not involved in those developmental processes. Notably, conidia of 𝜟Csnox2 and 𝜟Csnoxr, other than 𝜟Csnox1 and 𝜟Csnoxd, failed to cause anthracnose on intact pepper fruits. However, they still caused normal disease on wounded pepper fruits, suggesting that Csnox2 and CsnoxR are essential for penetration-related morphogenesis in C. scovillei. Further observation proved that 𝜟Csnox2 and 𝜟Csnoxr were unable to form penetration peg, while they fully developed appressoria, revealing that defect of anthracnose development by 𝜟Csnox2 and 𝜟Csnoxr resulted from failure in penetration peg formation. Our results suggest that CsNox2 and CsNoxR are critical for appressorium-mediated penetration in C. scovillei-pepper fruit pathosystem, which provides insight into understanding roles of Nox genes in anthracnose disease development.

  • Chlorella는 광합성을 통해 자가영양하는 미생물이다. 이전 연구를 통해 Chlorella fusca를 전처리한 오이 잎에서 오이 탄저병균의 부착기 형성률이 억제됨을 밝혔다. 본 연구에서는 SEM 및 TEM을 통해 C. fusca를 전처리한 잎에서 오이탄저병균의 초미세 감염구조를 관찰하였다. SEM 이미지에서는 대부분의 병원균 포자와 균사 주위에 많은 수의 C. fusca 세포가 관찰되었다. 또한 포자는 발아되었으나 식물조직에 침입하는 데 필요한 부착기는 형성되지 않았다. 이를 통하여 병원균 주위에 있는 C. fusca 세포가 병원균 부착기 형성을 억제하는 데 역할을 할 것으로 생각되었다. 한편, TEM 이미지를 통한 병원균 균사 내부의 초미세 구조에서는 C. fusca를 전처리한 잎과 무처리한 잎 간에 별다른 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 이는 전처리한 식물에서 병원균은 무처리한 잎과 유사하게 성장하는 것으로 보인다. 이들 결과를 통하여 C. fusca에 의한 식물 표면에서의 병원균 부착기 형성 억제가 오이탄저병 감소의 원인인 것으로 판단된다.

  • A. conoides에 의한 선충 포획과정을 SEM과 TEM을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 1. A. conoides는 점착성 three-dimensional networks에 의해 선충을 포획한다. 2. Trap cell은 영양균사에 비해 세포벽이 두꺼우며 endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria 및 electron-dense granule이 풍부하다. 3. 포획기관에서만 관찰되는 전자밀도가 높은 과립은 포획기관이 선충을 점착하여 침투하는 과정에서 소실된다. 4. 포획기관과 선충이 부착된 사이에서 osmiophilic layer가 관찰되었고 바로 이 지점으로부터 침투가 일어나며, 한 포획기관에서 두 군데 이상 동시 침투가 가능하다. 5. 포획기관의 선충내 침투시 appressorium이 형성되지 않고 침투되는 경우가 있다. 6. 균주와 선충의 혼합배지를 2~3주 두었을 때, 유충들이 포자에 접착되어 죽는다.

  • The cell wall integrity (CWI) signaling pathway plays important roles in the dissemination and infection of several plant pathogenic fungi. However, its roles in the pepper fruit anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum scovillei remain uninvestigated. In this study, the major components of the CWI signaling pathway-CsMCK1 (MAPKKK), CsMKK1 (MAPKK), and CsMPS1 (MAPK)-were functionally characterized in C. scovillei via homology-dependent gene replacement. The ΔCsmck1, DCsmkk1, and ΔCsmps1 mutants showed impairments in fungal growth, conidiation, and tolerance to CWI and salt stresses. Moreover, ΔCsmck1, ΔCsmkk1, and ΔCsmps1 failed to develop anthracnose disease on pepper fruits due to defects in appressorium formation and invasive hyphae growth. These results suggest that CsMCK1, CsMKK1, and CsMPS1 play important roles in mycelial growth, conidiation, appressorium formation, plant infection, and stress adaption of C. scovillei. These findings will contribute to a better understanding of the roles of the CWI signaling pathway in the development of pepper fruit anthracnose disease.

  • 클로렐라는 광합성을 통해 독립적으로 생활할 수 있는 녹조류로서 작물의 생육촉진효과와 더불어 식물병 발생을 억제한다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 클로렐라에 의한 식물병 억제 기작에 대해서는 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서 클로렐라 일종인 C. fusca의 현탁액을 오이 잎에 전처리하였을 때 오이탄저병 진전이 억제되는지 여부를 조사하였으며, C. fusca를 전처리한 오이 잎에서 오이탄저병 억제 기작을 알아보았다. 그 결과, 무처리한 잎에 비해 C. fusca를 전처리한 잎에서 C. orbiculare의 부착기 형성률이 뚜렷하게 감소하였다. 또한 접종 부위에서 발견된 포자수도 무처리한 잎에 비해 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 한편, 살균제 $Benomyl^{(R)}$을 전처리한 오이 잎에서도 C. orbiculare의 부착기 형성률이 크게 감소하였으며 포자수도 C. fusca를 전처리한 잎과 유사하게 감소되었다. 따라서 이들 결과를 통해 C. fusca 전처리에 의해 오이탄저병 발생이 억제되며 이는 C. fusca에 의한 식물잎 표면에서 생화학적 또는 구조적 작용으로 인한 C. orbiculare의 부착기 형성 감소가 그 원인 중 하나일 것이라고 생각된다.
