Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire-blight disease in apple and pear trees, was first isolated in South Korea in 2015. Although numerous studies, including omics analyses, have been conducted on other strains of E. amylovora, studies on South Korean isolates remain limited. In this study, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis of the strain TS3128, cultured in three media representing different growth conditions. Proteins related to virulence, type III secretion system, and amylovoran production, were more abundant under minimal conditions than in rich conditions. Additionally, various proteins associated with energy production, carbohydrate metabolism, cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis, and ion uptake were identified under minimal conditions. The strain TS3128 expresses these proteins to survive in harsh environments. These findings contribute to understanding the cellular mechanisms driving its adaptations to different environmental conditions and provide proteome profiles as reference for future studies on the virulence and adaptation mechanisms of South Korean strains.

Herein, we explored the potential of the apple's core microbiota for biological control of Erwinia amylovora, which causes fire blight disease, and analyzed the structure of the apple's bacterial community across different tissues and seasons. Network analysis results showed distinct differences in bacterial community composition between the endosphere and rhizosphere of healthy apples, and eight taxa were identified as negatively correlated with E. amylovora, indicating their potential key role in a new control strategy against the pathogen. This study highlights the critical role of the apple's bacterial community in disease control and provides a new direction for future research in apple production. In addition, the findings suggest that using the composition of the apple's core taxa as a biological control strategy could be an effective alternative to traditional chemical control methods, which have been proven futile and environmentally harmful.

Fire blight disease, caused by Erwinia amylovora, is a devastating affliction in apple cultivation worldwide. Chemical pesticides have exhibited limited effectiveness in controlling the disease, and biological control options for treating fruit trees are limited. Therefore, a relatively large-scale survey is necessary to develop microbial agents for apple trees. Here we collected healthy apple trees from across the country to identify common and core bacterial taxa. We analyzed the endophytic bacterial communities in leaves and twigs and discovered that the twig bacterial communities were more conserved than those in the leaves, regardless of the origin of the sample. This finding indicates that specific endophytic taxa are consistently present in healthy apple trees and may be involved in vital functions such as disease prevention and growth. Furthermore, we compared the community metabolite pathway expression rates of these endophyte communities with those of E. amylovora infected apple trees and discovered that the endophyte communities in healthy apple trees not only had similar community structures but also similar metabolite pathway expression rates. Additionally, Pseudomonas and Methylobacterium-Methylorobrum were the dominant taxa in all healthy apple trees. Our findings provide valuable insights into the potential roles of endophytes in healthy apple trees and inform the development of strategies for enhancing apple growth and resilience. Moreover, the similarity in cluster structure and pathway analysis between healthy orchards was mutually reinforcing, demonstrating the power of microbiome analysis as a tool for identifying factors that contribute to plant health.

1. 소규모접종시험을 위해서는 wire brush 접종 또는 다침접종법이 가장 효과적이었으며 포장에서의 대규모시험을 위해서는 전착제를 첨가한 세균현탁액의 살포가 좋았다. 2. 조사지역내에서의 발견된 병은 세균성 점무늬병과 세균성 불마름병 뿐이었고 담배 불마름병균에 의한 피해는 발견할 수 없었다. 3. 병원균은 이병조직속에서 겨울철인 경우 실내에서 6개월까지 생존할 수 있었고 냉장고 속에서는 10개월이상 존재했으며 토양속에서는 불마름병균이 4일, 점무늬병균이 30일간 생존하였다. 4. 종자표면에 부착된 세균은 전염원으로서 중요하지 않았으나 실험실내의 배양기 상에서는 종자의 발아를 억제했다.

청양지역을 비롯한 멜론 연작재배지에서 매년 피해를 나타내고 있는 시들음 증상 발생주의 뿌리로부터 뿌리씩 음병 원균 Monosporascus cannonballus(28.4%), Fusarium spp.(27.4%), Didymella bryoniae(24.2%), Phytophthora spp.(20.0%) 등을 각각 분리하였다. 멜론 연작재배 토양내 뿌리썩음병 방제를 위해 고온수 관주 및 훈증제 3종 살균처리하고 방제효율을 검정하였다. 고온수($92{\sim}98^{\circ}C$) 토양관주 살균처리는 $'05{\sim}'06$년 정식전 4시간(관주량: $52{\sim}55$ tons/10a) 관주하였다. 그 결과 발병율이 0.01$\sim$0.08%로 무처리의 발병량(6.6$\sim$81.4%)보다 높은 방제효과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 이는 토양훈증 살균제 3종의 방제효과(54.8$\sim$79.7%) 보다 20.2$\sim$45.1% 높았다. 또한, 고온수 관주처리 토양에서의 역병(Fire blight), 시들음병 (Fusarium wilt)의 발병율도 극히 낮았다 한편, 2005-2006년 고온수 관주처리구의 수량은 39톤/ha으로 무처리구(13.6톤/ha)에 비해 매우 높아 고도의 유의성을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 그러나, Dazomet, methyl bromide등 훈증제 처리는 약제 처리간 유의성은 없었으나 수량은 무처리 보다 39$\sim$47% 높았다. 결과적으로 고온수($92{\sim}98^{\circ}C$)를 이용한 연작재배지 토양 살균은 토양병해에 높은 방제효과를 나타내어 약제에 의한 훈증살균보다 효과적이라 판단되었다.
