For the detection of Tobacco masaic virus (TMV), Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato seeds of 11 table tomato and 7 cherry tomato cultivars were assayed by DAS-ELISA. Among the cultivars, TMV and ToMV were detected from 9 cultivars at the rates lower than 20% and 16%, respectively. In the assay on seed transmission rates, ToMV and CMV were detected as high as 24% and 8% , respectively, but TMV was not detected. In field survey on these viruses from tomato plants of 10 different places in Chungbuk province, ToMV and CMV were detected from most fields. TMV was detected from only 3 fields. The highest detection rates of these viruses were recorded in Cheongwon for TMV Chungju for ToMV, and the other locality of Chungju far CMV. It was difficult to find any relationship between the growth stage of tomato and infection rates. TMV usually caused mosaic on leaves while ToMV caused various symptoms including yellows, necrosis, and mottling. CMV-infected tomato plants showed symptoms of shoestring, fern leaf, and yellows.

One hundred Capsicum accessions were screened for symptomatic response and resistance to Tomato spotted wilt virus-pb1 (TSWV-pb1). Symptom and its severity rating were checked by visual observation at 9, 12, 14, and 45 days after inoculation, respectively. Enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay was performed all tested individuals on non-inoculated upper leaves after the third rating to indentify viral infection. Leaf curling was predominant in almost susceptible individuals of each accession. Stem necrosis was most frequent in wild species while yellowing in commercial hybrids and Korean land race cultivars. Ring spot, a typical symptom of TSWV, was rarely detected in some of a few accessions. Different levels of resistance to TSWV-pb1 were observed among the tested accessions. High level of resistance was detected in 4 commercial cultivars of Kpc-35, -36, -57, and -62, and 8 wild species of PBI-11, C00105, PBC076, PBC280, PBC426, PBC495, PBC537, and PI201238 through seedling test by mechanical inoculation.

Anthracnose symptoms were observed on the community area in Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province in Korea. The symptoms occurred on leaf and stem, and then plants eventually were died. Colony color was whitish gray to dark gray on potato dextrose agar. Conidia were single celled . colorless, cylindrical and was 10.2~20.4$\times$3.6$\times$6.0$\mu$m in size. Appressoria were dark brown, ovate to obovate and 6.2~10.5$\times$4.3$\times$8.6$\mu$m in size. Perithecia were brown to black in color and shaped as globose to obpyriform and 72.6~284.7$\mu$m in size. Asci were clavate to cylindrical in shape and 63.6~98.8$\times$8.3~12.5$\mu$m in size. Ascospores were cylindrical. fusiform, slightly curved at the center and 9.6~21.8$\times$4.0~6.0$\mu$m in size. Optimum temperature fur growth was 3$0^{\circ}C$. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenecity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Glomerella cingulata . This is the first report on the Anthracnose of achyranthes caused by Glomerella cingulata in Korea.

This experiment was carried out to analyze the recent epidemic of rice blast in southern provinces of Korea in 1999 and 2000. Incidences of leaf blast and panicle blast in these years were 1.5 and 2.9 times greater than those in 1998, respectively. Cultivation areas of rice cultivars, Daesan, Ilmi and Dongan bred from Milyang 95 as a recurrent parent increased over the country from 11% in 1998 to 38.4% in 2000, which were grown in more than 85% of total paddy fields in Jeonnam province. Predominant race populations of Pyricularia grisea in the farmers' fields had been changed from KJ-301 to KI-1117 in 1999 and KI-1113 and KJ-105 in 2000. Distribution ratio of the KI-1117 race in 1998 in the southern provinces was 1.7%, but increased to 30% in 1999. Although the cultivars Daesan, Ilmi and Dongan have shown wide spectrum of resistance to many races including KJ-301, they were susceptible to such races as KI-1117, KI-1113 and, KJ-105. These three races could be further classified into two sub-races, KI-1117 and KI-1117a, KI-1113 and Kl-1113a, and KJ-105 and KJ-105a based on virulence to Daesan. The newly classfied races, Kl-1113a, Kl-1117a, and KJ-l05a were also pathogenic to Ilmi and Dongan. This indicates that rice blast epidemic in southern provinces in 1999 and 2000 resulted from the breakdown of the resistance of Daesan, Ilmi and Dongan by the rapid increase of virulent races KI-1117, KI-1113, KJ-105 and their new sub-races.

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) occurred abruptly with a high incidence rate in 14 vegetable crops in Anyang area, Gyunggido in 2004. TSWV was identified by the symptoms on the indicator plants, immunocaptured reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (IC/RT-PCR), virion captured (VC)RT-PCR and RT-PCR using total RNA from the infected plants. Vegetable crops infected with TSWV included table tomato, cherry tomato, red pepper, lettuce, chicory, red leaf chicory, red mustard, dragon tongue, treviso, potato, perilla, sesame, pumpkin, and ssamchoo (hybrid of oriental cabbage and cabbage). The incidence of TSWV in fields ranged from 30 to $100\%$. TSWV usually produced necrosis, wilt and/or severe mosaic with typical single or double ring spots on the leaves. TSWV could be detected in Frankliniella occidentalis collected from the crops in the fields with $90\%$ rate by IC/RT-PCR.

Single spores were isolated from infected roots of Chinese cabbage with a typical clubroot symptom, collected from different Chinese cabbage cultivation areas in Korea. When the single spore isolates were inoculated on Chinese cabbage, radish, turnip, kale, leaf mustard and Williams' differential varieties, among 321 roots harvested two weeks after inoculation, a visual symptom was observed on only one root and light/uncommon symptoms were done on 70 roots. These 71 individuals were homogenized and used as inocula. These inocula caused generally higher pathogenicity than that of single spore. Finally 15 isolates, with enough growth for conducting further experiment, were selected. These 15 individuals were grouped four, seven, two and two into race 1, race 4, race 9 and race 11, respectively, using Williams' differential set. It was confirmed that race 4 were dominantly present in Korea. These 15 had been obtained from roots of Chinese cabbages, radishes and turnips inoculated with single resting spores and had shown pathogenicity to Laurentian and Wilhelmsburger belong to Rutabaga in Williams' differential variety set. Therefore, we assume that such characteristic pathotypes including race 4, especially, of P. brassicae showing strong pathogenicity to Chinese cabbage, radish and turnip may be dominant in Korea.

Plant specific gene family, NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) transcription factors have been characterized for their roles in plant growth, development, and stress tolerance. In this study, we isolated OsNAC69 gene and analyzed expression level by inoculation of bacterial leaf blight pathogen, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). NAC transcription factor family can be divided into five groups (I-V). On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, OsNAC69 was fall into group II. OsNAC69 was strongly induced 1 hr after infected with Xoo. To investigate its biological function in the rice, we constructed vector for overexpression in rice, and then generated transgenic rice lines. Gene expression of OsNAC69-overexpressed transgenic rice lines were analyzed by northern blot. Analysis of disease resistance to pathogen Xoo, nine OsNAC69-overexpressed transgenic rice lines showing high expression level of OsNAC69 were shown more resistant than wild type. These results suggest that OsNAC69 gene may play regulatory role during pathogen infection.

While rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch) was identified as a host of at least five viruses, including Rehmannia mosaic virus (ReMV), Youcai mosaic virus (YoMV), Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2), Plantago asiatica mosaic virus (PlAMV), and Rehmannia virus 1 (ReV1), viral incidence surveys have not been performed yet in rehmannia fields in Korea. In this study, we performed field surveys during 2017-2018 to investigate the incidence of 5 major viruses in rehmannia. A total of 145 symptomatic samples were collected from the rehmannia fields in major cultivation areas of Korea. Molecular diagnosis assays showed that all the collected leaf samples were infected with more than two viruses. Particularly, two species of Tobamovirus, ReMV and YoMV, were detected in all the samples. In addition, our analysis showed that the root stocks of 4 rehmannia cultivars were infected with at least two viruses. Since rehmannia is propagated by vegetative propagation, it is highly important to produce virus-free root stocks of rehmannia to control virus diseases in rehmannia.

Rye (Secale cereal L.) is the most tolerant to abiotic stress including low temperature, drought, and unfavorable soil conditions among the winter cereals. Rye is the rapid growth of early spring results from increasing areas for the use of the forage and green manure in the middle part of Korea. "Jungmo2509", a rye cultivar was developed by the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), RDA in 2014. It was developed from a cross between "Olhomil", a self-compatible cultivar, and "Synthetic II", a self-incompatible line. "Jungmo2509" is an erect plant type and of a middle size, with a green leaf color, a yellowish-white colored culm, and a yellowish brown-colored, small-size grain. The heading date of "Jungmo2509" was April 23, which was 5 days later than that of "Gogu", respectively. But "Jungmo2509" showed greater resistance to lodging compared to that of the check cultivar, with similar to winter hardiness, wet injury, and disease resistance. "Jungmo2509" was a higher to than "Gogu" in terms of protein content (9.4% and 8.0%, respectively), total digestible nutrients (TDN) (55.7% and 55%, respectively). The seed productivity of "Jungmo2509" was approximately 2.08 ton 10a-1, which was 11% lower than that of the check. Almost all rye cultivars are out-crossing due to genes controlling incompatibility, but "Jungmo2509" is higher seed fertility (56%) than that of Gogu (0%). it has self-compatible genes. "Jungmo2509" is erect in plant type and resistance for lodging. Therefore, "Jungmo2509" can produce uniform seeds for processed grains of human consumption and utilize them as parents for breeding the rye hybrids with high forage yields.

곰취는 주로 쌈용, 장아찌, 나물용 등으로 이용되고 있으며 주로 자생 곰취의 일종인 '곤달비' 라고 하는 종이 많이 재배되고 있다. 일반 곰취에 비해 곤달비는 향이 진하지 않고 씁쓸한 맛이 적어 인기가 많은 종이다. 또한 농가에서는 엽수가 많아 수량이 높기 때문에 재배를 선호하게 된 종이기도 하다. 그러나 곤달비는 수확후 여름을 지나면서 고온건조기에 흰가루병과 식물체가 위축되는 로젯현상으로 잎이 작고 진록색으로 되거나 고사하여 다음해의 수량을 저하시키는 원인이 되고 있다. 이렇게 2~3년 재배를 하면 연작장애와 더불어 결주가 생기기 시작하고 수량이 급격히 감소하는 문제가 발생되는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 흰가루병에 저항성이면서 세력이 우수한 한대리곰취와 일반곰취를 교배하여 흰가루병에 강하고 수량성이 뛰어난 계통을 선발하여 그 동안 '쌈마니', '다목이', '곰마니', '수마니', '그린베어' 등 5품종을 육성한 바 있다. 이번에는 용도 다양화를 위하여 잎이 매우 커서 김밥처럼 곰취 밥말 이용을 선발하여 품종을 만들고자 하였다. '대마니' 품종은 2007년 7월에서 9월까지 인공교배를 하여 종자를 얻었으며 2008년 3월에 파종하여 육묘후 포장에 정식하여 생육관리를 하였다. 2013년 생육 및 수량특성 조사에서 일반적으로 많이 재배되는 '곤달비' 종보다 우수한 7033-1번 개체를 선발하였다. 선발된 7033-1번 개체는 2014년부터 2020년까지 노지포장에서 증식되면서 고농G-7호로 계통화 되었으며 2019년부터 2년간의 생육특성 검정을 통하여 최종 선발하였다. 그리고 2020년 농작물직무육성 품종선정위원회에서 신품종으로 선정되어 '대마니(Daemani)'로 명명되었다. '대마니' 품종의 특성은 엽병귀의 색이 연녹색을 띠고 엽병에 털이 있으며 잎 뒷면에 털은 없으나 광택이 없고. 엽맥밀도는 보통이다. 쌈용, 데침쌈용, 묵나물용으로 이용이 가능하다. 특히 엽장과 엽폭이 39cm와 49cm로 '잎이 커서 밥말이용으로 적당하다. 주당 엽수는 54개로 '쌈마니' 품종보다 매우 적다. 주당 수량은 4,961g 으로 '쌈마니' 1,362g 보다 3배 정도 많았다. 추대시는 8월 28일, 개화시는 9월 16일로 '쌈마니' 품종보다 약 6일 정도 늦었다. 흰가루병 저항성 정도는 '쌈마니' 품종의 중도 저항성에 비하여 전혀 병에 감염되지 않는 강한 저항성을 보였다. 이와 같은 특성의 흰가루병 저항성 품종이고 잎이 큰 '대마니' 품종이 농가에 보급되어 출하된다면 밥말이용 등 용도다양화를 통한 새로운 소비창출이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
