In okra Macrophomina phaseolina and Furasium verticilloides cause collar-rot, seedling-rot and other severe diseases at fruit maturing stages. These stages were located in all the components of the seeds. The seeds collected from seeds infected with Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium verticilloides revealed 100% infection. Such seeds resulted in pre- and post-emergence mortalities. Inoculated seeds also showed pre- and post-emergence death of the seedlings. The fungi seed-transmitted showed disease symptoms at different growth of okra plant. Fusarium verticilloides causes the wilt and Macrophomina phaseolina causes the collar-rot. Until now seed transmission of these fungi have not been studied. Hence, in the present study an attempt has been made to fill this lacunae.

Stem blight symptoms were observed in greenhouse-grown bottle gourds (Lagenaria siceraria) in Wanju, Korea. Infected plants showed leaf chlorosis and wilting; the plants eventually died with the infected leaves remaining attached, and black sclerotia formed on the diseased stem. Based on the morphological characteristics and pathogenicity results and sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer, translation elongation factor 1-α, β-tubulin, and calmodulin regions, the isolated fungus was Macrophomina phaseolina. This is the first report of charcoal rot in Lagenaria siceraria caused by Macrophomina phaseolina in Korea.

참깨종자의 종자전염균을 조사아던중, 우리나라에서는 미기록인 Macrophomina phaseolina가 12개 sample중 7개 sample에서 검출되었다. 본 균의 종자 종자상에서의 생육상 및 병자각과 병포자의 형태를 기술하였다. 본 균의 병자각형성에는 광선이 필순조건이었으나 PDA나 OA배지상에서는 병자각이 형성되지 않았고 물한천잎배지상에서 병자각이 많이 형성되었다. 본 균은 참깨종자의 심한 발아저해와 입고가 원인이 되었고 감자괴경에 탄부병징을 나타내었다. 목 균은 월동후의 참깨식물의 잔재와 포장의 이병유균에서도 검출되었다.

Peanut plants showing mild wilt were found in fields of Iksan, Korea, in August 2021. The diseased peanut plants were collected, and the causal pathogens were isolated using potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. The isolated IS-1 strain formed white mycelia on PDA, which turned black with age. Sclerotia were produced on the PDA and barley leaves laid on water agar 7 d after incubation at 30℃. The sequences of both the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and calmodulin gene of IS-1 showed a 100% similarity with that of Macrophomina phaseolina. A phylogenetic tree constructed using the ITS regions of fungal pathogens causing disease in peanut plants indicated that the IS-1 stain belongs to M. phaseolina. The inoculation of IS-1 sclerotia into peanut seedlings resulted in yellowing and wilt symptoms in aboveground plants and brown to dark rots in roots 35-40 d after inoculation. Overall, the morphological characteristics, molecular identification, and pathogenicity of IS-1 indicate that the causal pathogen is M. phaseolina. This is the first report of charcoal rot caused by M. phaseolina on peanut plants in Korea. Further study is needed to develop the control measures for charcoal rot in peanut plants.

Genetic diversity among selected isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina, a causal agent of charcoal rot (stalk rot) disease in sorghum was studied using PCR-RAPD markers. A set of ten isolates, from ten different rabi sorghum genotypes representing two traditional sorghum growing situations viz., Dharwad- a transitional high rainfall region and Bijapur- a semi-arid low rainfall region in South India. From a set of 40 random primers tested, amplicon profiles of 15 were reproducible. A total of 149 amplicon levels, with an average of 9.9 bands per primer, were available for analysis, of which 148 were polymorphic (99.3%). It was possible to discriminate all the isolates with any of the 15 primers employed. UPGMA clustering of data indicated that the isolates shared varied levels of genetic similarity within a range of 0.14 to 0.72 similarity coefficient index and it was suggestive that grouping of isolates was not related to sampling location in anyway. A high level of genetic heterogeneity of 0.28 was recorded among the isolates.

콩 균핵마름병을 일으키는 Macrophomina phaseolina의 병원성 평가를 위하여 실험실과 온실 검정법을 확립하였다. 실험실 검정에서는 소립균핵과 균사를 접종원으로 사용하였다. 소립균핵을 접종원으로 사용한 실험실 검정에서 M. phaseolina NSW17-108과 HSM17-034의 발병도는 25℃보다 35℃에서 더 높았다. NSW17-108과 HSM17-034 중에서 참깨에서 분리된 HSM17-034의 발병도가 콩에서 분리된 NSW17-108보다 높았다. M. phaseolina의 균사를 접종원으로 사용한 경우, NSW17-108과 HSM17-034는 35℃에서의 발병도가 접종 5일 만에 80%를 상회하였다. HSM17-034는 25℃에서의 발병도가 접종 5일 후에 80%를 상회하였다. 온실의 병원성 검정에는 소립균핵이 형성된 이쑤시개 또는 potato dextrose agar 배지에서 수확한 소립균핵 자체를 접종원으로 사용하였다. 모든 온실 검정에서 M. phaseolina NSW17-10과 HSM17-034는 접종 방법에 따라 병원균을 접종하고 35-65일 후에 40-60%의 발병도를 보였다. 두 균주 중에서 HSM17-034의 병원성이 NSW17-108보다 강했으며, 이 결과는 실험실 검정 결과와 일치하였다. 본 연구에서 확립한 실험실 및 온실 검정법은 각 방법에 따라 장단점이 있기 때문에, 연구의 목적에 부합할 수 있는 시험법을 선택하여 사용하는 것이 필요하다.

Crinum asiaticum and Hymenocallis littoralis, commonly known as spider lilies are bulbous perennial and herbaceous plants that widely planted in Malaysia as ornamental. During 2015-2016, symptom of leaf blight was noticed on the hosts from several locations in Penang. The symptom appeared as irregular brown to reddish lesions surrounded by yellow halos. As the disease progressed, the infected leaves became blighted, dried, and fell off with the presence of black microsclerotia and pycnidia on the lesions parts. The present study was conducted to investigate the causal pathogen of leaf blight on C. asiaticum and H. littoralis. Based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-α) gene, the causal pathogen was identified as Macrophomina phaseolina. Phylogenetic analysis of combined dataset of ITS and TEF1-α grouped the isolates studied with other isolates of M. phaseolina from GenBank. The grouping of the isolates was supported by 96% bootstrap value. Pathogenicity test proved the role of the fungus in causing leaf blight on both hosts.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa $GRC_2$, siderophore-producing strain, inhibited growth of Macrophomina phaseolina in vitro and reduced charcoal rot in seeds of Brassica juncea in field when coated with adaptive strains. P. aeruginosa $GRC_2$ and Azotobacter chroococcum $AC_1$ produced indole-3-acetic acid and solubilized insoluble phosphate. A. chroococcum $AC_1$ fixed nitrogen asymbiotically. Urea and diammonium phosphateadaptive variant strains of P. aeruginosa and A. chroococcum strongly inhibited M. phaseolina in comparison to parental strains. Bacterization of seeds induced seed germination, seedling growth, and enhanced yield of B. juncea by 10.87% as compared to full doses of urea and diammonium phosphate. Both adaptive strains of chemical fertilizers aggressively colonized roots, showing effectiveness to growth and developments of B. juncea.

Fifty two Macrophomina phaseolina isolates were recovered from 24 host plant species through the 14 Iranian provinces. All isolates were confirmed to species using species-specific primers. The colony characteristics of each isolate were recorded, including chlorate phenotype, relative growth rate at $30^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$, average size of microsclerotia, and time to microsclerotia formation. The feathery colony phenotype was the most common (63.7%) on the chlorate selective medium and represented the chlorate sensitive phenotype of the Iranian Macrophomina phaseolina population. Meantime, inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) Markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of the fungus. Unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustering of data showed that isolates did not clearly differentiate to the specific group according to the host or geographical origins, however, usually the isolates from the same host or the same geographic origin tend to group nearly. Our results did not show a correlation between the genetic diversity based on the ISSR and phenotypic characteristics. Similar to the M. phaseolina populations in the other countries, the Iranian isolates were highly diverse based on the phenotypic and the genotypic characteristics investigated and needs more studies using neutral molecular tools to get a deeper insight into this complex species.

2016년 콩을 재배하는 포장에서 마름 증상에 의한 콩의 피해가 심하게 발생하였다. 유묘기 때에는 잘록 증상과 자엽에 갈색 또는 검은 색의 반점이 나타나기 시작하다가, 8월 이후 개화기에는 지상부 잎이 황화되기 시작하면서 부분적으로 갈변되었다. 이 시기에 채집한 콩의 뿌리는 생육이 많이 억제된 상태이며, 표피가 벗겨지면서 균핵이 형성되기 시작하였다. 9월 이후부터는 지상부의 마름 증상이 더 뚜렷해졌으며 고사하기 시작하였고, 수침상 병징을 보이던 줄기에도 균핵이 형성되었다. 수확기인 10월 중순 이후에는 줄기의 표피가 벗겨지면서 피층 부위에 소립균핵이 다량으로 형성되었다. 이런 병징으로부터 분리한 병원균은 32-35℃에서 균사 생육이 가장 양호하였고, 소립균핵의 형성은 20-28℃에서 가장 많았다. 병원균의 균학적인 형태 관찰과 internal transcribed spacer 영역 유전자의 염기서열 분석을 실시한 결과, 병원균은 Macrophomina phaseolina로 동정되었다. 또한 이쑤시개를 이용한 인공접종에서도 포장에서와 같은 병징을 보였을 뿐만 아니라, 재분리에서도 동일한 병원균이 분리·동정되었다. 그 결과 이 병을 콩 균핵마름병(가칭)으로 보고하는 바이다.
