Wasabies showing mosaic symptoms were collected and extracted for virus purification. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was identified as causal agent by electron microscopy and nucleic acid and coat protein analyses. TMV strains were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). TMV was identified as W and C strain in wasabi. The results of host reaction indicated that this virus induced local lesions on Nicotiana tabacum cv. Bright Yellow and N. glutinosa, leaf spots on Chenopodium amaranticolor and mosaic symptoms on wasabi. Rot shape virus particles were observed and was about 300 nm in length. About 6.5 kb single RNA molecule was observed from extracted viral RNA sample and 26 KDa coat protein was detected in denatured acrylamide gel. Infection ratio of TMV was 8% for the first cultivation year, but was 22% for the second year when TMV-W antiserum was used. The results of this experiment showed that infection ratios of both TMV-W and TMV-C strains were higher compared to that of TMV-P strain.

To obtain genetic information for breeding aromatic tobacco, broad sense heritabilities, phenotypic, and genotypic correlations were obtained for the following characters : days to frowert, plant height, number of leaves, leaf shape and nicotine. Six pure line varieties and the first and second generations of 5 crosses among them were employed in this study. The heritabilities for number of leaves and nicotine were very high in pure line varieties. However, the heritabilities for days to flower and yield were low in six varieties as well as in F2. Genotypic correlations had higher values than phenotypic did. Heritabilities calculated from segregating generations were lower than those from pure varieties, regardless of crosses involved. Positive phenotypic correlations between yield and plant height were observed in all crosses. Same phenomenon was observed with correlations between days to flower and number of leaves. The genotypic and phenotypic variances and covariances entering into the computation of correlations were used to construct the seletion indices for yield. The use and limitation of selection index was also discussed.

Essential oil components were isolated both from Oriental and- Korean using a modified distillation/solvent extraction method. The essential oils were then analyzed by high-resolution glass capillary gas chromatography, to give characteristic GC profile from each tobacco. Varietal differences were detected from the quantitative comparison of the GC data.

Volatile compounds in the headspace vapors of five aromatic tobacco varieties have been examined us ins the polymer adsorption method and high- resolution glass capillary gas chromatography. The gas chromatographic profiles thus obtained were compared, and the aroma composition was found to be characteristic of each tobacco sample with significant differences in the concentrations of major components.

During the process of curing of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. ) leaves the concentration change of Nonvolatile organic acids and Higher fatty acids of the flue-cured tobacco leaves was observed. The contents of Nonvolatile organic acids in flue-cured tobacco leaves were as follows, malic> oxalic>malonic>citric>succinic acid. Higher fatty acids was linolenic>Palmitic>oleic >stearic$\geqq$linoleic acid, Citric acid content of last curing time was increased about 4~5 times in compare to before curing tobacco. It was concluded that significant changes of three variety flue-cured tobacco but a significant difference was observed in the composition of Daegu gold variety.

This experiment was conducted to obtained basical source for gathering seeds in flue- cured (NC 2326), and to investigate some characters on the relation to gathering number of capsules per a plant; amount of gathering seeds, weight per 1000 seeds and germination rate, respectively. As a results; correlation coefficient of number of capsules and amount of gathering seeds was pros(live correlation (r =0.9771**) , Weight per 1000 seeds (0.16g) was good from 39$\pm$2 capsules and amount of gathering seeds was 4.8g. So it is considered that method of gathering seeds wise proved to be a desirable 39: 2 capsules and amount of gathering seeds was 4- 5 gram.

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of soil water potenial on the growth and internal changes of stressed plants. The experimental imposition of soil water potential ( $\Psi$soil) were -0.1 to -0.2, -0.2 to -0.5, -0.5 to -3.0, -3.0 to -10.0 bar respectively. During water stress all growth rates were depressed, and the most sensitive period to water stress was found to be 10 to 25 days after transplanting. The water potential of leaf was declined rapidly within 12 hours after with holding of water. Nitrate reductase activity was decreased progressively as water deficit was built up in tobacco leaves, but the activity of alpha- amylase and super contents were increased. There were differences in peroxidase isozyme patterns between tile control and water stressed plant. New isozymes started to appear as tobacco leaf water potential decreased.

This survey was been conducted to classify the distribution of morphological and chemical characteristics of soils in the major districts cultivating flue-cured tobacco plant. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. Tobacco was mainly grown in local valley, 7-15% slopes, loam and sandyloam containing gravels, and productivity classes of soil were corresponded to 3-4 degree for upland crops. 2. most soils were acidic (below pH 5.5) and contained low organic matters. (below 2%) 3. Dominant soil series were SANGJU, JIGOG, SEOCTO, SAMGAG ANRYONG, SUAM, and YESAN.

Recent characterization of several genes involved in plant defense responses suggested that ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation has a role in these responses. We isolated two cDNAs (NtUBA1 and NtUBA2) encoding ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1) from Nicotiana tabacum cv. BY-2. The open reading frames of both encoded 1080 amino acids, corresponding to molecular masses of 120 kDa. The E1s and corresponding transcripts were upregulated by infection with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), and to a lesser extent by cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Furthermore, they were also upregulated by wounding stress, and the plant hormones salicylic acid, jasmonic acid and the ethylene precursor, aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). Our findings support the idea that the ubiquitin-proteasome system plays a role in plant disease defenses.

The cDNA of tobacco mosaic virus-pepper strain (TMV-P) coat protein (CP) genes were introduced into tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun nn) using a binary Ti plasmid vector of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. these cDNAs introduced into tobacco plants were detected by polymerase chain reaction. Symptom development was distinctly suppressed in the transgenic plant introduced buy sense CP cDNA when the plant was inoculated with TMV-P, while in transgenic tobacco plants of antisense CP gene, symptom development was not suppressed as in non-transgenic plants. TMV-P concentration in the sense CP transgenic tobacco plant was decreased to 1/14 of the concentration in non-transgenic plants. Expression of the kanamycin resistance gene of these transgenic plants could be detected in the progeny.
