In February 2014, gray mold rotting symptoms were observed in carrots in cold storage at Gangneung, Gangwon province, Korea. The typical symptom of gray mold rot showed abundant blackish gray mycelia and conidia was observed on the infected root. The pathogen was isolated from infected root and cultured on PDA for further fungal morphological observation and confirming its pathogenicity according to Koch's postulates. Results of morphological data, pathogenicity test and rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS 1 and 4) sequence showed that the postharvest gray mold rot of carrot was caused by Botyrtis cinerea. This is the first report of postharvest gray mold rot on carrot in Korea.

The use of microorganisms and their secreted molecules to prevent plant diseases is considered an attractive alternative and way to supplement synthetic fungicides for the management of plant diseases. Strain BS062 was selected based on its ability to inhibit the mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea, a major causal fungus of postharvest root rot of ginseng and strawberry gray mold disease. Strain BS062 was found to be closely related to Streptomyces hygroscopicus (99% similarity) on the basis of 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis. Postharvest root rot of ginseng and strawberry gray mold disease caused by B. cinerea were controlled up to 73.9% and 58%, respectively, upon treatment with culture broth of Streptomyces sp. BS062. These results suggest that strain BS062 may be a potential agent for controlling ginseng postharvest root rot and strawberry gray mold disease.

Several postharvest diseases of table grapes (Vitis vinifera) occur during storage, and gray mold rot is a particularly severe disease because the causal agent, Botrytis cinerea, grows at temperatures as low as $0^{\circ}C$. Other postharvest diseases, such as those caused by Penicillium spp. and Aspergillus spp., also often lead to deterioration in the quality of table grapes after harvest. The use of plant essential oils such as thymol and linalool, to reduce postharvest diseases in several kinds of fruits, including table grapes and oranges, has received much attention in European countries. However, to the best of our knowledge there has been no report of the use of thymol fumigation to control gray mold in table grapes in Korea. Thymol ($30{\mu}g/mL$) and linalool ($120{\mu}g/mL$) significantly inhibited mycelial growth and conidia germination of B. cinerea. The occurrence rate of gray mold rot of B. cinerea and other unknown fungi was significantly reduced by fumigation with $30{\mu}g/mL$ thymol in several table grape cultivars, such as Campbell early, Muscat Bailey A, Sheridan, and Geobong. In this study, fumigation with $30{\mu}g/mL$ thymol, had no influence on the sugar content and hardness of grapes, but reduced fungal infection significantly. This suggests that $30{\mu}g/mL$ thymol could be utilized to reduce deterioration of grapes due to gray mold and other fungal infections during long-term storage.

우리나라 참다래 주요 재배지인 전남과 경남 그리고 제주지역의 16개 포장에서 임의로 수집한 1600개 참다래 과실의 평균 저장병 발병율은 32.0%로 나타났지만, 저장병 발병율은 수확한 과수원에 따라서 5%에서 68%까지 다양했다. 저장병에 걸린 참다래 과실 중에서 15.4%가 외부 병징, 68.4%가 내부 병징을 나타내었고, 외부와 내부 모두에 병징을 나타내는 것은 16.2%였다. 저장병에 걸린 과실들에서 병원균의 검출율은 분리한 지역에 따라 차이가 있었으며, Botryosphaeria dothidea가 83.3%, Diaporthe actinidiae는 11.9%, Botrytis cinerea가 1.4%의 검출율을 보여 주요 저장병원균으로 밝혀졌다. 참다래 주요 저장병원균으로 확인된 B. dothidea와 D. actinidiae에 의해 발생하는 참다래 주요 저장병을 과실에 나타난 각 병징과 각 병원균들의 특성을 고려하여 과숙썩음병과 과실꼭지썩음병으로 각각 구분하여 명명하고자 한다.
