Microscopic study of chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) infected with Phytophthora capsici, causing Phytophthora blight of chili pepper, was conducted to compare histological and cytological characteristics in the root and stem of susceptible (C. annuum cv. Bugang) and resistant (C. annuum cv. CM334) pepper cultivars. The susceptible pepper roots and stems were extensively penetrated and invaded by the pathogen initially into epidermal cells and later cortical and vascular cells. Host cell walls adjacent to and invaded by the infecting hyphae were partially dissolved and structurally loosened with fine fibrillar materials probably by cell wall-degrading enzymes of the pathogen. In the resistant pepper, the pathogen remained on root epidermal surface at one day after inoculation, embedded and captured in root exudation materials composed of proteins and polysaccharides. Also the pathogen appeared to be blocked in its progression at the early infection stages by thickened middle lamellae. At 3 days after inoculation, the oomycete hyphae were still confined to epidermal cells of the root and at most outer peripheral cortical cells of the stem, resulting from their invasion blocked by wound periderms formed underneath the infection sites and/or cell wall appositions bounding the hyphal protrusions. All of these aspects suggest that limitation of disease development in the resistant pepper may be due to the inhibition of the pathogen penetration, infection, invasion, and colonization by the defense structures such as root exudation materials, thickened middle lamellae, wound peridems and cell wall appositions.

In order to develop chili pepper bacterial spot resistant cultivars and near-isogenic lines (NILs) to prompt the molecular mapping of the resistance gene, we have run backcross breeding program since 1994. Two resistance genes against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria Bs2 from Fla. XVR 3-25 and Bs3 from our breeding line 25-11-3-2, were introduced into a land race, Chilseongcho (abbreviated to Chilseong hereafter) with good fruit guality. We report here the testing of $BC_4F_3\;to\;BC_4F_5$. We found that $BC_4F_5$ lines of the crosses were homozygous with respect to the respective genes of introduction. The lines, in which Bs2 gene was introduced, were hypersensitively resistant to both race 1 and race 3 of X. axonopodis pv. vesicatoria, whereas, those in which Bs3 was introduced were resistant to race 1.

An infection risk model for Phytophthora blight on chili pepper was developed to estimate the first date of disease occurrence in the field. The model consisted of three parts including estimation of zoosporangium formation, soil water content, and amount of active inoculum in soil. Daily weather data on air temperature, relative humidity and rainfall, and the soil texture data of local areas were used to estimate infection risk level that was quantified as the accumulated amount of active inoculum during the prior three days. Based on the analysis on 190 sets of weather and disease data, it was found that the threshold infection risk of 224 could be an appropriate criterion for determining the primary infection date. The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the estimated date of primary infection and the observed date of first disease occurrence was $8{\pm}3$ days. In the model validation tests, the observed dates of first disease occurrence were within the 95% confidence intervals of the estimated dates in the five out of six cases. The sensitivity analyses suggested that the model was more responsive to temperature and soil texture than relative humidity, rainfall, and transplanting date. The infection risk model could be implemented in practice to control Phytophthora blight in chili pepper fields.

The anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum species is well-known as a major plant pathogen that primarily causes fruit rot in pepper and reduces its marketability. Thirty-five isolates representing species of Colletotrichum were obtained from chili fruits showing anthracnose disease symptoms in Chungcheongnam-do and Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. These 35 isolates were characterized according to morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence data of internal transcribed spacer, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase, and ${\beta}$-tubulin. The combined dataset shows that all of these 35 isolates were identified as C. scovillei and morphological characteristics were directly correlated with the nucleotide sequence data. Notably, these isolates were recorded for the first time as the causes of anthracnose caused by C. scovillei on pepper in Korea. Forty cultivars were used to investigate the pathogenicity and to identify the possible source of resistance. The result reveals that all of chili cultivars used in this study are susceptible to C. scovillei.

Trichoderma strains were evaluated under field conditions to assay their efficacy in suppressing Alternaria fruit rot disease and promoting chili plant growth. The experiment was conducted at the Botanical Garden, Rajshahi University, Bangladesh from July 2006 to March 2007. Application of Trichoderma harzianum IMI 392432 significantly (p = 0.05) suppressed the disease compared to Alternaria tenuis (T2) treatment and improved both growth and yield. The treatment T4 (T. harzianum IMI-392432 + A. tenuis) was most effective in reducing disease percentage (72.27%) compared to A. tenuis (T1) treatment. The highest seed germination rate (85.56%) and the highest growth and yield (12.5 g/plant) was also recorded in the same treatment (T4), followed by T5 (T. harzianum IMI-392433 + A. tenuis), T6 (T. harzianum IMI-392434 + A. tenuis), T2 (T. virens IMI-392430 + A. tenuis), and T3 (T. pseudokoningii IMI-392431 + A. tenuis) treatment, while single treatment with A. tenuis significantly decreased these values.

The loci of the 5S and 45S rRNA genes were localized on chromosomes in five species of Capsicum, namely, annuum, chacoense, frutescens, baccatum, and chinense by FISH. The 5S rDNA was localized to the distal region of one chromosome in all species observed. The number of 45S rDNA loci varied among species; one in annuum, two in chacoense and frutescens, and chinense, and four in baccatum, with the exceptions that 'CM334' of annuum had three loci and 'tabasco' of frutescens gad one locus. 'CM334'-derived BAC clones, 384B09 and 365P05, were screened with 5S rDNA as a probe, and BACs 278M03 and 262A23 were screened with 25S rDNA as a probe. Both ends of these BAC clones were sequenced. FISH with these BAC probes on pachytenes from 'CM334' plant showed one 5S rDNA locus and three 45S rDNA loci, consistent with the patterns on the somatic chromosomes. The 5S rDNA probe was also applied on extended DNA fibers to reveal that its coverage measured as long as 0.439 Mb in the pepper genome. FISH techniques applied on somatic and meiotic chromosomes and fibers have been established for chili to provide valuable information about the copy number variation of 45S rDNA and the actual physical size of the 5S rDNA in chili.

Rhizoctonia solani와 Pythium ultimum에 의한 모잘록병은 대부분의 작물에서 전 세계적으로 발생하여 종자와 유묘에 심각한 피해를 주고 있다. Serenade 제제(1.34%, SC)의 Rhizoctonia 및 Pythium 모잘록병 방제 효과를 조사하기 위하여, 병원균 접종 토양에 파종된 고추와 오이에 Serenade 제형 9배, 19배 및 39배 희석액을 관주 처리하였다. Serenade 제제를 9배 및 19배 희석액으로 처리하였을 때, 고추의 Rhizoctonia 모잘록병에 대한 Serenade 제제의 방제효과는 각각 58%와 29%이었다. 그리고 오이에서도 고추의 Rhizoctonia 모잘록병과 유사한 각각 54%와 28%의 방제효과를 보였다. 반면에 오이 Pythium 모잘록병에 대한 Serenade 제형의 방제효과는 Rhizoctonia 모잘록병에 비하여 아주 낮은 방제효과를 나타내었고, Serenade 9배 희석액으로 처리한 고추의 Pythium 모잘록병에 대해서만 무처리구와 유의성 있는 발병도 차이를 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 Serenade 제형은 Rhizoctonia 및 Pythium 모잘록병을 효과적으로 방제할 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

농업생태계에 심겨진 탄저병 저항성 유전자인 PepEST 유전자가 내재된 유전자변형 고추의 환경위해성을 평가하기 위하여 2006년 고추의 생육기간 동안 절지동물의 군집구조를 3회(6월 20일, 7월 25일, 8월 28일)에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 두 가지의 고추 즉 모본(nTR, WT512)와 유전자 변형 고추(TR, line 68)의 꽃과 잎에 서식하는 곤충을 포함한 절지동물의 군집구조를 파악하기 위하여 곤충을 포획할 수 있는 진공 흡입기를 이용하여 절지동물을 정량적으로 채집하였다. 생육 기간 중에서 7월에 가장 많은 종수, 종다양도, 그리고 종구성의 차이를 보여주었지만(P<0.05), 각 생육기간별 두 작물간의 군집구조는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 각 분류군 별로 통계적인 유의성을 검증한 결과, 초식자의 먹이 기능군이 통계적인 유의성을 나타냈으며 (P<0.05), 그초식자군의 고추에 대한 잠재적인 피해 가능성을 검정한 결과, 섬서구메뚜기, 진딧물, 그리고 총채벌레의 잠재적 피해가능성이 크다고 판단되었다. 지금까지 수행된 본 연구결과를 근거로 판단하여 볼 때, 유전자 변형 고추로 인한 비표적 생물체의 군집구조의 차이가 없었으므로, 환경위해도는 없는 것으로 판단되지만, 추후 환경 위해도의 잠재 가능성 때문에, 환경위해성 평가연구가 지속적으로 수행되어야 한다고 결론 내릴 수 있다.
