The inheritance of resistance in rice to bacterial blight (Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae) was studied in the $F_2$ generation of the cross between resistant cultivar IR50 and susceptible cultivar Zhu-Lian-Ai. Resistance was found to be controlled by two dominant complementary genes in IR50. The resistance gene(s) was linked with gene(s) for earliness with the recombination value of $6.1\~25.6\%$ in this cross.

Selection procedures for breeding lines resistant to both bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum and Phytophthora blight caused by P. capsici were executed to generations from $F_2$ and $BC_1F_1$ to $F_4$ and $BC_1F_3$ of crosses between a Phytophthora resistant breed, 'Chilbok No. 1' and bacterial wilt resistant accessions introduced from Vietnam during 2009 and 2010. The breeding populations or lines were tested for resistance to P. capsici and resistant plants were selected. The resistant selections were inoculated with R. solanacearum to discard susceptible plants. Resistance to P. capsici was conspicuously improved by selection from $F_2$ and $BC_1F_1$ and the final selections showed a similar level of resistance to P. capsici as a commercial Phytophthora resistant cultivar, Muhanjilju. A few $BC_1F_2$ selections were crossed to a cytoplasmic male sterile line, Chilbok-A, to identify their nuclear genotype interacting with male sterile cytoplasm. Majority of them was fixed to maintainer (Nrfrf) and only two resulted segregating into male sterile and male fertile plants indicating that the pollen parents were heterozygous in the fertility-restoring gene.

Peanuts, also known as groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), are globally recognized as a vital oilseed crop. Peanuts are rich in proteins (e.g., arginine), oils (e.g., oleic acid and linoleic acid), fiber, vitamins (e.g., niacin and tocopherol), and carbohydrates and are consumed worldwide. However, the presence of aflatoxin (AF) has garnered substantial attention since its initial discovery as the causative agent of Tukey's X disease in the United Kingdom in 1960. Among the 18 aflatoxins identified, aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) has the highest toxic activity and causes hepatocellular carcinoma. It is classified as Group I by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The present study was conducted to evaluate aflatoxin B₁ resistance of 102 peanut accessions and select putative aflatoxin B₁-resistant peanut accessions to aflatoxin B₁. One hundred and one Korean germplasms harvested in 2020 were inoculated with A. flavus to identify aflatoxin-resistant cultivars, and the aflatoxin B₁ concentration was measured using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector. Twenty-six accessions with aflatoxin B₁ concentrations lower than those of the check plant 55-437 were chosen for the development of aflatoxin-resistant varieties in Korea. As Korean aflatoxin-resistant varieties have not yet been developed, the findings of the present study are expected to provide useful information for the development of aflatoxin-resistant cultivars.

Root-knot nematodes represent a significant problem in cucumber, causing reduction in yield and quality. To develop screening methods for resistance of cucumber to root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, development of root-knot nematode of four cucumber cultivars ('Dragonsamchuk', 'Asiastrike', 'Nebakja' and 'Hanelbakdadaki') according to several conditions such as inoculum concentration, plant growth stage and transplanting period was investigated by the number of galls and egg masses produced in each seedling 45 days after inoculation. There was no difference in galls and egg masses according to the tested condition except for inoculum concentration. Reproduction of the nematode on all the tested cultivars according to inoculum concentration increased in a dose-dependent manner. On the basis of the result, the optimum conditions for root-knot development on the cultivars is to transplant period of 1 week, inoculum concentration of 5,000 eggs/plant and plant growth stage of 3-week-old in a greenhouse ($25{\pm}5^{\circ}C$). In addition, under optimum conditions, resistance of 45 commercial cucumber cultivars was evaluated. One rootstock cultivar, Union was moderately resistant to the root-knot nematode. However, no significant difference was in the resistance of the others cultivar. According to the result, we suggest an efficient screening method for new resistant cucumber to the root-knot nematode, M. incognita.

In order to investigate histopathologically the nature of varietal resistance and infection process of the rice bast fungus, Pyricularia oryzae. this experiment was undertaken by using the resistant cultivar Tongil and susceptible cultivars Norin No.6 and Jinheung in 1973 to 1974. 1) It was found that appressorium of the fungus forms not only at 4 hours after incubation under the favorable conditions but also peak of appressorial formation is at 48 hours treatment. Physical stimulus known to be a definite factor for appressorial formation. The optimum temperature range for appressorial infection was at $24^{\circ}C$ to $28^{\circ}C$, and pH was between 4.8 to 8.0 with 6.8 as the optimum. 2) Although percent of appressorial formation on the leaves of resistant Tongil and susceptiible Norin No.6 were only slightly different, there was a remarkable difference between resistant and susceptible cultivars with regard to percent of hyphal infection and index for hyphal extension. Index of hyphal extension was 1.6-2.7 in Tonyil. while in susceptible cultivar was 3.4-6.6. The rate of discoloration of infected cells, a indication of hypersensitivity, was greater in the resistant than in susceptible cultvar. 3) Therefore, it could be concluded that resistance of Tongil cultivar may be attributable to a higher degree of mechanical barriers as well as a higher level of antifungal substance accumulation.

A new vegetable peanut cultivar "Charmwon" (Arachis hypogaea ssp. fastigiata.L.) was developed at the Yeongnam Agricultural Research Institute, NICS, in Milyang 2006. It was developed from the cross between the disease resistant cultivar "HYQ(CG)S-10" and the high-yielding cultivar "Sinkwang". "Charmwon" which has been classified as Shinpung plant type is less branch number with early flowering and ellipse-shaped large kernel. Each pod which showed very shallow constriction had two grains with red testa and 100 seed weight was 90g in the regional yield trials (RYT). This variety also showed higher free sugar and protein contents in seed quality, and had more resistant to early and late leaf spot diseases compared with check one. In the regional yield trials "Charmwon" was out-yielded than check variety by 18% with 8.93 ton/ha for fresh pod and by 4% with 3.95 ton/ha for grain.

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum has become a severe problem on tobacco in Korea. No effective single control measure is available at present time. One of the most potential way for controlling the bacterial wilt on tobacco is growing tobacco cultivars resistant to the bacterial wilt. In this study, optimal conditions for screening tobacco cultivars resistant to the bacterial wilt were examined to provide reproducible and efficient methods in growth chamber testing and field experiments for evaluating plant disease resistance. For this, already-known inoculation methods, inoculum densities, and incubation temperature, and plant growth stages at the time of inoculation were compared using tobacco cultivars resistant (Nicotiana tabacum cv, NC95), moderately resistant (N. tabacum cv. SPG70), and susceptible (N. tabacum BY4) to the bacterial disease. It was determined that root-dipping of tobacco seedlings at six true leaf stage into the bacterial suspension with inoculum level of $10^8$ colony-forming units (CFU)/ml for 20 min before transplanting was simple and most efficient in testing for resistance to the bacterial wilt of tobacco caused by R. solanacearum, for which disease incidences and severities were examined at 2 weeks of plant growth after inoculation at $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ in a growth chamber. These experimental conditions could discriminate one tobacco cultivar from the others by disease severity better than any other experimental conditions. In field testing, the optimum time for examining the disease occurrence was late June through early July. These results can be applied to establishing a technical manual for the screening of resistant tobacco cultivars against the bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum.
