Fusarium verticillioides is an important pathogen of maize, being responsible for ear rots, stalk rots, and seedling blight worldwide. During the past decade, F. verticillioides has caused several severe epidemics of maize seedling blight in many areas of China, which lead to significant losses. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms regulating fungal development and pathogenicity in this pathogen, we isolated and characterized the gene fpk1 (GenBank Accession No. EF405959) encoding a homolog of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, which included a 1,854-bp DNA sequence from ATG to TAA, with a 1,680-bp coding region, and three introns (lengths: 66 bp, 54 bp, and 54 bp), and the predicated protein precursor had 559 aa. The mutant ${\Delta}fpk1$, which was disrupted of the fpkl gene, showed reduced vegetative growth, fewer and shorter aerial mycelia, strongly impaired conidiation, and reduced spore germination rate. After germinating, the fresh hypha was stubby and lacking of branch. When inoculated in susceptible maize varieties, the infection of the mutant ${\Delta}fpk1$ was delayed and the infection efficiency was reduced compared with that of the wild-type strain. AU this indicated that gene fpk1 participated in hyphal growth, conidiophore production, spore germination, and virulence in F. verticillioides.

Rye was used here to dissect molecular mechanisms of resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) and to go deeper with our understanding of that process in cereals. F. culmorum-damaged kernels of two lines different in their potential of resistance to FHB were analyzed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry to identify resistance markers. The proteome profiling was accompanied by measurements of ${\alpha}-$ and ${\beta}-amylase$ activities and mycotoxin content. The proteomic studies indicated a total of 18 spots with clear differences in protein abundance between the more resistant and more susceptible rye lines after infection. Eight proteins were involved in carbohydrate metabolism of which six proteins showed a significantly higher abundance in the resistant line. The other proteins recognized here were involved in stress response and redox homeostasis. Three remaining proteins were associated with protease inhibition/resistance and lignin biosynthesis, revealing higher accumulation levels in the susceptible rye line. After inoculation, the activities of ${\alpha}-$ and ${\beta}-amylases$, higher in the susceptible line, were probably responsible for a higher level of starch decomposition after infection and a higher susceptibility to FHB. The presented results could be a good reference for further research to improve crop resistance to FHB.

벼 붉은곰팡이병에 대한 품종별 반응과 기상조건에 따른 감염영향을 알아보기 위하여 장려품종 재배포장의 기상자료와 수확한 벼의 이병립율과 Fusarium 균을 동정하였다. 출수개화 전인 7월 하순부터 등숙기인 9월말까지의 평균기온이 수확후 산물벼의 이병립율에 크게 영향을 주었으며, 평균기온이 비슷한 2010년과 2013년에는 같은 기간의 누적강우량, 누적 강우일수, 2일 이상 강우지속횟수와 관련이 있었다. 2010년과 2013년에 수확한 벼에서 Fusarium 균의 종복합체별 분리비율은 FGSC에 대해 각각 57%과 45%, FIESC에 대해 35%과 50%, FFSC에 대해 8%과 5%이었다. FGSC와 FFSC의 분포비율은 2010년이 2013년에 비해 높았다. Fusarium 균의 자연감염에 대한 품종반응은 26개 장려품종 중 미향 품종만이 FGSC 자연감염에 대한 저항성을 보였으며, 남평, 하이아미, 영호진미 품종은 총 Fusarium 병원균의 자연감염에 대하여 전반적인 저항성을 보였다. 그 밖의 대부분의 장려품종은 저항성 또는 감수성으로 구분할 수 없었다. 본 연구결과는 Fusarium 균 자연감염에 대한 저항성과 감수성을 판단하는 기초자료로서 의의가 있다.

Fifty isolates of myxobacteria were isolated from soils from several areas in Korea during 1996-1997 and bioactivity against plant pathogenic fungi of these isolates was examined. A myxobacterial isolate KR025 showed good antifungal activities against Pyricularia oryzae, Cryphonectria parasitica, Colletotrichum lagenarium, and C. gloeosporioides but did not against Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum and Pythium ultimum. The bacterium was identified as Myxococcus fulvus based on morphological and physiological characteristics. Antifungal substances were extracted from culture broth and bacterial cell of Myxococcus fulvus KR025 by ethyl acetate. Antifungal substance of Myxothiazole (100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/ml) produced by Myxococcus fulvus KR 025 controlled 97.0% rice blast, tomato late blight, wheat leaf rust, and barley powdery mildew and showed 45.0 and 82.6% disease control of rice sheath blight and cucumber gray model, respectively.

For isolation of antagonistic fungi antagonistic to Phytophthora capsici, a total of 157 isolates of fungi were screened from soil. Among the 157 isolates further screened by the dual culture test on potato dextrose agar and V-8 juice agar, 16 isolates were tested to show their antagonistic activity against P. capsici and Fusarium oxysporum. Fungal cul-ture filtrates of screened 16 isolates were shown to inhibit germination of zoospoorangia of P. capsici entirely and conidia of F. oxysporum considerably. Antagonistic fungi were shown to suppress of P. capsici infection of red-pepper plants maintained in the green house. Four isolates. 27 J5, 37 J10, 36 J13 and 31 K10, with the reduced disease incidence 53.3∼60.0% were identified as Fusarium sp. (27 J5). Trichoderma sp. (37 J10, 36 J13) and Penicillium sp. (31 K10).

The ascomycete fungus Fusarium graminearum is an important plant pathogen responsible for Fusarium head blight in small grains and ear rot on maize. This fungus also produces the estrogenic metabolite, zearalenone (ZEA) that causes estrogenic disorders in humans and animals. Previously, we developed a conditional gene expression system for this fungus using a ZEA-inducible promoter (Pzear). In the present study, four other estrogenic compounds, including ${\beta}$-estradiol, estriol, estrone, and secoisolariciresinol, were screened as possible substitutes for ZEA in this system. Among them, ${\beta}$-estradiol was able to successfully induce the expression of a gene controlled by Pzear, while estrone was only able to partially induce its expression but the other two compounds were not effective. In combination, these results demonstrate that ${\beta}$-estradiol can replace ZEA in this conditional gene expression system, thereby eliminating the need to use the more expensive reagent, ZEA, and facilitating high-throughput functional analyses of F. graminearum in future studies.

In 2014, abnormal brown spots were observed on Hongro apples in fields in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and during low-temperature storage. The spots were round, blight brown, and different from the symptoms of previously reported apple diseases. A fungal pathogen was isolated and cultured on potato dextrose agar, and it was morphologically similar to Fusarium decemcellulare. A pathogenicity test showed the same brown spots on both wounded and unwounded Hongro and Fuji apple cultivars. RPB1 and RPB2 sequences of F. decemcellulare KNU-GC01 matched with those of F. decemcellulare NRRL 13412 (98.3% and 97.6% similarities, respectively); both strains clustered together in the phylogenetic tree, indicating their close relationship at the species level. Therefore, F. decemcellulare is a newly reported pathogen that causes brown spots on apples in Korea.

대표적인 식물병원성 곰팡이 인 Phytophthora infestans와 Fusarium oxysporum의 생장을 저해하는 근권세균들을 토양에서 분리하여 동정하였으며 이 균주들이 분비하는 항진균성 물질인 siderophore, $\beta-1$,3-glucanase, hydrogen cyanide와 chitinase의 생성능을 조사하였다. 분리균주 중 Bacilus sp. RFO41은 F. oxysporum의 생장을 가장 효율적으로 억제하였으며, siderophore 생성능과 $\beta-1$,3-glucanase의 활성이 가장 우수하였다. 또 다른 분리균주인 Bacilus sp. PS2는 P. infestans의 생장을 가장 많이 억제하였으며, chitinase 활성과 hydrogen cyanide 생성능이 가장 우수하였다. F. oxysporum과 P. infestans에 대한 항진균 효과는 근권세균이 생산하는 siderophore, $\beta-1$,3-glucanase, hydrogen cyanide와 chitinase의 활성에 따라 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
