It has been pointed out that various substances such as "toxoalbumin", glycoside, choline or readily hydrolysable choline derivatives, alkaloid, lysolecithine etc. are associated with the toxicity of the infected grain. But animal tests and analysis of paper chromatography by author's indicated that a basic substance present in the concentrated extracts from the grain may neither be acetylcholine, betaine, nor choline. This problem still have to be examine further.

In this report, some practical problems that are concerned with the infected barley were examined. Most of the toxic substance is present in the bran. It was almost impossible to remove the toxic substance with water or methanol completly, however, we found it is effectively eliminated by soaking the whole grain with 2%, calcium hydroxide suspension for 24 hours. As a detoxifying agent, kieselguhr was very effective; the grain mixed with little amounts (0.4-0.5%) of kieselguhr may be used as an animal feed.

본 연구는 국내 생산 볏짚의 곰팡이독소 오염 실태를 파악하기 위하여 벼의 생육 단계별, 볏짚의 보관 형태별 및 곤포사일리지의 지역별 오염을 조사하였다. 수확하기 전 논에서 생장 중인 비에서 곰팡이독소 및 곰팡이 오염이 확인되었다. 벼의 생장 초기에는 deoxynivalenol($297{\mu}g/kg$) 이 발견되었고, 중기에는 ochratoxin A($1.8{\mu}g/kg$) 및 deoxynivalenol($264{\mu}g/kg$) 이 오염되어 있었다. 그리고 수확시기에는 deoxynivalenol($190{\mu}g/kg$) 및 zearalenone ($168{\mu}g/kg$) 이 오염되어 있었다. 그리고 곰팡이 오염은 생장 초기에는 $10^{3-4}$ cfu/g 그리고 생장 중기와 수확시기에는 $10^{4-5}$ cfu/g 이었다. 오염된 곰팡이로는 Fusarium sp., Fusarium proliferatum, Penicillium sp., Gibberella sp., Gibberella zeae, Mucor circinelloides, Aspergillus oryzae 등 다양한 종류가 발견되었다. 사료용 볏짚의 통 볏짚단, 사각 볏짚단 및 곤포사일지 등 저장 방법에 따른 오염원 mycotoxin을 조사하였을 때 zearalenone, deoxynivalenol 및 ochratoxins A가 검출되었다. 통 볏짚단의 곰팡이독소 오염도는 23% 이었고, 사각 볏짚단과 곤포사일지지는 각각 38%가 오염되어 있었다. 그리고 105점의 볏짚 곤포사일리지에서 곰팡이독소를 분석하였을 때 46%의 샘플에서 곰팡이독소가 발견되었고, 지역적으로는 경기, 강원, 충청, 영남 및 호남지역에서 각각 48, 33, 40, 50 및 57%의 샘플이 오염되어 있었다. 2가지의 곰팡이독소(zearalenone, deoxynivalenol)가 발견된 충청지역을 제외한 모든 지역의 볏짚 곤포사일리지에서 3가지의 곰팡이독소(zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, ochratoxins A)가 발견되었다. Ochratoxins A의 오염 수준은 전체적으로 $2.6{\mu}g/kg$으로 충청지역에서는 발견되지 않았지만 호남지역은 $3.0{\mu}g/kg$으로 다른 지역보다 높았다. Deoxynivalenol의 오염 수준은 전체적으로 $413{\mu}g/kg$으로 충청지역이 $800{\mu}g/kg$로 가장 높았고, 다른 지역은 $246{\mu}g/kg$에서 $433{\mu}g/kg$의 수준으로 발견되었다. 그리고 zearalenone은 전체적으로 $338{\mu}g/kg$으로 경기지역이 $168{\mu}g/kg$로 다른 지역보다 낮았고, 강원과 호남지역이 각각 $467{\mu}g/kg$과 $442{\mu}g/kg$으로 높았다. 이상의 연구 결과는 볏짚은 수확하기 전 벼의 생장 기간에도 곰팡이독소 및 곰팡이 오염에 노출되어 있으며, 볏짚의 보관 형태 및 지역에 상관없이 곰팡이독소의 오염이 발생할 수 있음을 명확히 시사한다. 따라서 안전하고 질 좋은 조사료를 확보하기 위해서는 이들 곰팡이독소 관련 더 구체적 연구와 대책관련 탐구가 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Fusarium graminearum (telomorph：Gibberella zeae), an important fungal pathogen of cereal crops with ubiquitous geographic distribution, produces mycotoxins on diseased crops that has threaten human and animal health. Recently severe epidemics of scab diseases of barley and rice by this fungus occurred in Korea, causing serious economic losses. To determine genetic diversity of F. graminearum from rice in Korea, a total of 269 isolates were obtained from Southern part of Korea during 2001-2002. A phylogenetic tree of the isolates was constructed by using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Population structure of the rice isolates consists of a single lineage (lineage 6). Frequency of female fertility among these Isolates was relatively low (37％) compared to that among lineage 7 isolates from Korean corn. PCR amplification using chemotype specific primers derived from Tri7 and Tri13 genes at the trichothecene biosynthesis gene cluster revealed that most isolates (260) were NIV chemotype；9 isolates were identified as DON chemotype by Tri13 but as either NIV chemotype or unknown by Tri7. The result of chemical analysis also supported the chemotype determination；all of the NIV chemotype isolates produced NIV, whereas the 9 isolates produce either DON or no toxin.

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.

A variety of fungal species are known to degrade cyanide through the action of cyanide hydratase, a specialized nitrilases which hydrolyze cyanide to formamide. This work is a report on two unknown and un-characterized members from Neurospora crassa and Aspergillus nidulans. Recombinant forms of three cyanide hydratases (CHT) originated from N. crassa, Gibberella zeae, and A. nidulans were prepared after their genes were cloned with N-terminal hexahistidine purification tags, expressed in E. coli and purified using immobilized metal affinity chromatography. These enzymes were compared according to their pH activity profiles, and kinetic parameters. Although all three were similar, the N. crassa CHT has the widest pH range of activity above 50% and highest turnover rate ($6.6{\times}10^8min^{-1}$) among them. The CHT of A. nidulans has the highest Km value of the three nitrilases evaluated in here. Expression of CHT in both N. crassa and A. nidulans were induced by the presence of KCN, regardless of any presence of nitrogen sources. These data can be used to determine optimal procedures for the enzyme uses in the remediation of cyanide-containing wastes.

A disease survey on the carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) wilt was conducted during the high temperature period (June through August) and the low temperature period (February through May) in 58 greenhouses of its major cultivation areas, including Pusan, Kimhae, and Changwon in Korea from 1998 to 1999. The disease incidence was averaged 5.4% and 11.9% in the low and high temperature periods, respectively. Severe damage was found in summer with high incidences of around 50% in some greenhouses. Close examination of the symptoms and isolation of the causal agent revealed that there was a new disease different from Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi, which was determined as the stub dieback caused by F. was cetermined as the stub dieback caused by F. graminearum (teleomorph : Gibberella zeae). The stub dieback symptoms involved brown rot of stem that started usually from the portion of cutting without discoloration of inner vascular tissues. Seven out of 38 isolates from the wilted plants were identified as F. graminearum, while the others as F. oxysporum f. sp. dianthi. Mycological characteristics of the stub dieback pathogen including colony color, absence of microconidia, and the shape of macroconidia, were consistent with F. graminearum previously described. This is the first report of the carnation stub dieback in Korea.

The plant pathogen Fusarium graminearum causes Fusarium head blight in cereal crops and produces mycotoxins that are harmful to animals and humans. For the initiation and spread of disease, asexual and sexual reproduction is required. Therefore, studies on fungal reproduction contribute to the development of new methods to control and maintain the fungal population. Screening a previously generated transcription factor mutant collection, we identified one putative $C_2H_2$ zincfinger transcription factor, pcs1, which is required for both sexual and asexual reproduction. Deleting pcs1 in F. graminearum resulted in a dramatic reduction in conidial production and a complete loss of sexual reproduction. The pathways and gene ontology of pcs1-dependent genes from microarray experiments showed that several G-protein related pathways, oxidase activity, ribosome biogenesis, and RNA binding and processing were highly enriched, suggesting that pcs1 is involved in several different biological processes. Further, overexpression of pcs1 increased conidial production and resulted in earlier maturation of ascospores compared to the wild-type strain. Additionally, the vegetative growth of the overexpression mutants was decreased in nutrient-rich conditions but was not different from the wild-type strain in nutrient-poor conditions. Overall, we discovered that the pcs1 transcription factor positively regulates both conidiation and sexual reproduction and confers nutrient condition-dependent vegetative growth.
