Seventy four microorganisms, which have antagonistic activity against to Fusarium culmorum, were tested for their inhibitory effect on colony development of obligate biotroph Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei Marchal, the causal agent of powdery mildew on barley plants. Of these, 13 actinomycetes isolates were shown to reduce the colony development of mildew completely by application of their 10% cell-free culture filtrates on barley leaves. An Isolate, A252, was the most powerful antagonist and its antifungal activity was further assessed. The colony development of mildew was significantly reduced by application of the 1% cell-free culture filtrate of isolate A252. In comparison to the control, the protective and curative application of 10% cell-free culture filtrate from A252 showed 88.5% and 96.1% reduction of colony numbers respectively. By the protective application, 68.3% of the inhibition was observed after 9 days of treatment, thus showed prolonged inhibitory effect. In vitro test, complete inhibition of the mycelial growth of Microdochium nivale was achieved by the treatment of 1% A252 culture filtrate and 80.2% of inhibition was observed by the 0.1% treatment.

The autofluorescent cells in the penetration area of powdery mildewed leaves of barley had been reported. The present experiments were performed in order to obtain the fluorescence-inducing extract fraction from the conidia. The preparations were made by extractions and residue which were extracted from the conidia of Erysiphe graminis hordei race I with water, ethanol, and ethyl ether. Bioassaying was carried out on the culled-leaf surface of incompatible Turkey 290 and compatible Kobingataki varieties by placing the drops of extract solutions. Fluorescence-elicitor activity was shown only in tile ethanol-extract fraction to both varieties. However, fluorescence-eliciting rate was more rapid on the leaves of incompatible variety Turkey 290 than on tile those of compatible variety Kobingataki; Turkey 290 less than 8 hours, Kobingataki less than 16 hours.

Fungicidal activities of Cassia obtusifolia extracts and their active principles were tested against Botrytis cinerea, Erysiphe graminis, Phytophthora infestans, Puccinia recondita, Pyricularia grisea, and Rhizoctonia solani, and compared with synthetic fungicides and two dihydroxyanthraquinones. At 1 g/l, the chloroform fraction of C. obtusifolia extracts showed fungicidal activity against B. cinerea, E. graminis, P. infestans, and Py. grisea, and the ethyl acetate fraction showed fungicidal activity against E. graminis and P. infestans. Danthrone was chromatographically isolated from the chloroform fraction and showed fungicidal activity against B. cinerea, E. graminis, P. infestans, and Py. grisea with 68, 100, 78, and $91\%$ control values at 0.5 g/l, respectively. Specifically, alizarin and quinizarin inhibited E. graminis, P. infestans, and Py. Grisea, but did not inhibit the growth of P. recondita and R. solani. These results indicate at least one of the fungicidal actions of danthrone.

Representative synthetic piericidin-like compounds, such as hydroxypyridine and hydroxyquinoline derivatives, which showed high inhibition activity against NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase on the respiratory chain revealed good fungicide activity. Especially, hydrolrypyridine ones showed high activity against rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae) and barley powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis).

Physiologic races of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei were isolated from diseased barley plants collected from 93 locations in Korea, 1980 and 1982. Nine races, 3,8,11,19, J13, K1A, K1B, K2, and K3, were identified by using Cherewick's differential plants. Among them, races K1A, K1B, K 2, and K 3 were firstly recorded by authors in Korea. These races were mainly collected from Jeonnam and Gyeongnam province, whereas race 8 was isolated only in Buan, Jeonbug province. On the other hand, race J 13 previously reported in Japan was prevalent as $36.6\%$ of total isolated races, mostly being isolated in southern region of Korea.

Even though many pesticides are known for barley powdery mildew and wheat leaf rust, alternative controls are necessary, because of consumer rejection of chemical pesticides and the appearance of fungi resistant to fungicides. To discover biopesticides, many broths of microorganisms were screened. Of those, a culture broth of Burkholderia ambifaria showed an excellent antifungal activity against both Erysiphe graminis and Puccinia recondita, which cause barley powdery mildew and wheat leaf rust, respectively.

Papilla and cytoplasmic aggregates clearly formed on the epidermal cells of barley leaves in response to the primary germ-tubes of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei, but their sizes were much smaller than those in response to the appressoria. Some cells of barley leaves exposed to powdery mildew for 36-48h were more deeply stained as compared to the other cells by acid fuchsin. However, the content of malondialdehydein in powdery mildewed leaves, one of the product of lipid peroxidation, did not increase by 96h after inoculation. Positive reactions for callose, protein and phenolics were recognized in the papilla and cytoplasmic aggregates at 6h after inoculation, but cutin, suberin, cellulose and lignin were not noticeable until 72h after inoculation. The total phenol content in methanol extracts increased with increasing time after inoculation. All histochemical reactions were not race-specific in barley­powdery mildew combinations tested.

A series of bis-aromatic ${\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated ketone derivatives with mesaured fungicidal activities in vivo against rice blast(Pyricularia oryzae), tomato leaf blight (Phytophtora infestans) and barley powdery mildew(Erysiphe graminis) were studied by using quantitative structure activity relationship equations. The QSAR model for the activity of phenyl substituents, $1{\sim}11$, clearly reveals three important factors, namely, resonance(R<0), optimal molecular hydrophobicity(${\pi})_{opt.}=0.38$) and optimal distance($((L_{1})_{opt.}=5.69({\AA}))$ of substituent, respectively. But in case of 2-pyridyl substituents, $12{\sim}28$, the activity were governed by optimal molecular refractivity $((M_{R})_{opt.}=8.04{\sim}39cm^{3}/mol)$, steric effect(Es<0) and LUMO energy(e.v). The fungicidal activity relationship of phenyl and 2-pyridyl substituents against Erysiphe graminis have been proportioned.

The fungicidal activities of Coptis japonica (Makino) extracts and their active principles were determined against Botrytis cineria, Erysiphe graminis, Phytophthora infestans, Puccinia recondita, Pyricularia grisea, and Rhizoctonia solani using a whole plant method in vivo, and compared with natural fungicides. The responses varied according to the plant pathogen tested. At 2,000 mg/l, the chloroform and butanol fractions obtained from methanolic extracts of C. japonica exhibited strong/moderate fungicidal activities against B. cinerea, E. graminis, P. recondita, and Py. grisea. Two active constituents from the chloroform fractions and one active constituent from the butanol fractions were characterized as isoquinoline alkaloids, berberine chloride, palmatine iodide, and coptisine chloride, respectively, using spectral analysis. Berberine chloride had an apparent $LC_{50}$ value of approximately 190, 80, and 50 mg/l against B. cinerea, E. graminis, and P. recondita, respectively; coptisine chloride had an $LC_{50}$ value of 210,20, 180, and 290 mg/l against B. cinerea, E. graminis, P. recondita, and Py. grisea, respectively; and palmatine iodide had an $LC_{50}$ value of 160 mg/l against Py. grisea. The isoquinoline alkaloids were also found to be more potent than the natural fungicides, curcumin and emodin. Therefore, these compounds isolated from C. japonica may be useful leads for the development of new types of natural fungicides for controlling B. cinerea, E. graminis, P. recondita, and Py. grisea in crops.
