Peach (Prunus persica L.) is one of the major fruit crops in South Korea, along with apple, persimmon, and Asian pears. Peach anthracnose is a continuing threat to growers and is accountable for enormous economic loss. In July 2018, anthracnose of peach appeared at different peach orchards in Gyeongsangbuk-do region, Korea. The typical anthracnose symptoms (brown, circular, and necrotic lesions) were observed on the fruits. Anthracnose of peach was surveyed in different peach orchards of Gyeongsangbuk-do, and 20 fungal isolates from 19 diseased fruits were collected. Multigene phylogenetic analyses coupled with morphological characteristic analysis approaches were used for identifying the fungal species isolated from diseased fruits. This study confirmed three Colletotrichum species. Based on the results, Colletotrichum siamense are reported for the first time as causal agents of peach anthracnose alongside C. fructicola and C. fioriniae, which has been reported previously. Pathogenicity assays were performed for the three isolates representing all the species identified, and Koch's postulates on detached healthy peach fruits were verified. All the identified species were pathogenic on peach fruits as the typical anthracnose symptoms were reproduced. Significant variations in the virulence were observed among fungal species on peach fruit.

A severe brown rot on peach fruit caused by a Phytophthora sp. has occurred at peach orchards in Taegu of Korea from late June to early August in 1997. Infected fruits showed irregularly round or circular water soaking brown regions. In the severe case, fruits were entirely rotten and surface of the fruits were wrinkled. Occasionally, white mycelia and abundant sporangia were developed on the surface of fruit. Inner tissues of the fruits were also discolored to brown. The causal fungus was identified as Phytophthora cactorum based on following characteristics. Sporangia were ovoid, conspicuously papillate, caducous and measured as 28.4~48.1$\times$21.9~37.2 (av. 39.9$\times$30.4) ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Sexuality of the fungus was homothallic. Oogonia were 25.0~34.0 (av. 29.9) ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Most antheridia were paragynous and measured av. 10.5$\times$13.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Optimum temperature for mycelia growth was around 25~3$0^{\circ}C$. However none of the isolates grew under 7$^{\circ}C$ and over 35$^{\circ}C$. The fungus revealed high pathogenicity to fruits, shoots and leaves of peach, apple and pear with different degrees. Phytophthora fruit rot of peach caused by Phytophthora cactorum has not been reported in Korea previously.

Peaches have soft tissues compared to other fruits and are vulnerable to softness, wounds, and loss of marketability due to the weak fruit hardness after harvest. It is necessary to develop a technology to improve the shelf-life of the fruit to expand the distribution of peaches. Calcium compounds and chitosan have an important role in improving the shelf-life of fruit by maintaining the hardness and reducing the respiration rate in peach fruits. In this study, to select useful compounds to improve the shelf-life of peaches, calcium citrate, calcium chloride, calcium nitrate, GH-Ca, OS-Ca, chitosan, and chitosan dissolved in calcium chloride were sprayed onto peach trees. The characteristics of the harvested fruits were investigated after the 'Kumhong' and 'Madoka' peach tree treatments. The hardness of the fruit was kept the highest with the combined treatment and remained high with the calcium citrate, chitosan and calcium nitrate treatments. Ethylene production and respiration were effectively inhibited by the GH-Ca and chitosan treatments. There was no significant difference in soluble solids content and acidity among the fruits treated with the chemicals. The coloration of the fruit skin was not delayed by the calcium and chitosan chemical treatments. Calcium compounds were increased in the fruits and leaves of the peach trees treated with the chemicals compared to the untreated ones. These results suggest that the calcium treatment extended the shelf-life by increasing the calcium content in the leaves and fruits of the peach trees.

쓰가루 사과 과실과 백향 복숭아 과실에서 1-MCP 처리에 대한 반응의 차이를 조사하였다. 쓰가루 사과는 수확 직후 1회의 1 또는 5 ppm의 1-MCP처리에 의하여 2주간의 저장 기간 중 품질의 지표인 과육의 경도와 적정 산도의 저하가 크게 억제되었다. 또한 1-MCP의 처리는 지속적으로 과실의 호흡을 억제하였으며 에틸렌 생성의 개시 시점을 늦추는 효과를 나타내었다. 그러나 백향 복숭아에서는 수확 후 반복적인 1-MCP의 처리에 의해서만 약간의 연화 억제 효과를 관찰할 수 있었으며 호흡 또는 에틸렌 생성 억제 효과는 일시적이었다. 이는 백향 복숭아의 에틸렌에 대한 반응성이 1-MCP처리 후 빠르게 회복되기 때문으로 생각된다. 백향 복숭아에서 1-MCP처리에 의해 과실의 저장성을 향상하려면 반복적인 처리가 요구되며 처리 중에 에틸렌의 축적을 회피하기 위한 방법이 강구되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

A soft rot of fruits caused by Rhizopus nigricans occurred on peach (Prunus persica var. vulgaris) in The Chinju City Agricultural Products Wholesale Marke during in summer season of 2000. The disease infection usually started from wounding after harvest fruits, and then moved to outside. At first, the lesions started with water soaked and rapidly softened and diseased area gradually expanded. In severely infected film house, the rate of infected fruits reached 65.2%. Numerous sporangiospores were produced on the diseased fruits. Most of the sporangiospores were appeared to be readily dispersed in the air. The mycelia grew surface of fruits and produced stolons. Colonies on potato dextrose agar at $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ white cottony at first becoming heavily speckled by the presence of sporangia and the browinish black at maturity, spreading rapidly by means of stolons fired at various points to the substrate by rhizoids. Sporangia were $85.3{\sim}243.5{\times}53.4{\sim}219.2\;{\mu}m$ in size and were globose or sub-globose with. somewhat flattened base. The color of sporangia was white at first and then turned black with many spores, and never over-hanging. Sporangiophores were $8.9{\sim}36.6\;{\mu}m$ in width, smooth-walled, non-septate, light brown, simple, long, arising in groups of $3{\sim}5$ from stolons opposite rhizoids. Sporangiospores was $9.7{\sim}24.8{\times}5.9{\sim}15.8\;{\mu}m$, irregular, round, oval, elongate, angular, and browinish-black streaked. Columella was $70.2{\times}149.7{\mu}m$. brownish gray, and umberella-shaped when dehisced. The causal organism was identified as. Rhizopus nigricans Lind on the basis of the morphiogical characteristics of the fungus. Rhizopus soft rot on peach (Prunus persica) caused by the fungi has not been reported in Korea. This is the first report of rhizopus soft rot on peach caused by Rhizopus nigricans in Korea.

Environmental conditions may cause the quality change of fruits during distribution after harvest. In order to prevent the damage or quality change of fruits for distribution, the characteristic of fruits affected by the environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity under various distribution conditions should be known. This research was performed to analyze how the environmental conditions affect the factors such as weight loss rate and ethylene production of the peach under several distribution conditions. Environmental conditions of the actual distributed route were evaluated and the data obtained from the conditions were used for the simulated environmental tests. Regression models of the weight loss rate and the ethylene production of peach were developed and used in predicting peach quality. The weight loss rate of the peach estimated by the ASHRAE data was shown the higher value on the transportation temperature condition than on the low and room temperature conditions. The weight loss rate and the ethylene production of the peach on the simulated distribution conditions were measured and the measured weight loss rate of peach was the smaller than the theoretically estimated one. The regression models of the weight loss rate and the ethylene production were developed respectively.

Anthracnose symptoms were frequently observed on fruits of peach trees grown in Yeongi in Korea during disease survey in August from 2000 to 2005. The disease incidence was as high as 40% at its maximum in the orchards investigated. A total of 24 isolates of Colletotrichum species were obtained from the anthracnose symptoms, out of which 20 were identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and the four remaining ones as C. acutatum based on their morphological and cultural characteristics. Two isolates of each C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum caused anthracnose symptoms on the fruits by both wound and unwound inoculation, which were similar to those observed in the orchard. The symptoms appeared more rapidly by the wound inoculation than by the unwound inoculation. There was no difference in pathogenicity between the C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum isolates tested. In Korea, only C. gloeosporioides has been recorded as the causal fungus of anthracnose of peach tree. This is the first report that C. acutatum also causes anthracnose of peach tree in Korea.
