The seed borne disease such as bakanae is difficult to control. Crop yield loss caused by bakanae depending on the regions and varieties grown, ranging from 3.0% to 95.4%. Bakanae is an important disease of rice worldwide and the pathogen was identified as Fusarium fujikuroi Nirenberg (teleomorph: Gibberella fujikuroi Sawada). Currently, four Fusaria (F. fujikuroi, F. proliferatum, F. verticillioides and F. andiyazi) belonging to F. fujikuroi species complex are generally known as the pathogens of bakanae. The infection occurs through both seed and soil-borne transmission. When infection occurs during the heading stage, rice seeds become contaminated. Molecular detection of pathogens of bakanae is important because identification based on morphological and biological characters could lead to incorrect species designation and time-consuming. Seed disinfection has been studied for a long time in Korea for the management of the bakanae disease of rice. As seed disinfectants have been studied to control bakanae, resistance studies to chemicals have been also conducted. Presently biological control and resistant varieties are not widely used. The detection of this pathogen is critical for seed certification and for preventing field infections. In South Korea, bakanae is designated as a regulated pathogen. To provide highly qualified rice seeds to farms, Korea Seed & Variety Service (KSVS) has been producing and distributing certified rice seeds for producing healthy rice in fields. Therefore, the objective of the study is to summarize the recent progress in molecular identification, fungicide resistance, and the management strategy of bakanae.

The soil-borne ascomycete fungus Cylindrocarpon destructans causes ginseng root rot disease and produces various secondary metabolites such as brefeldin A and radicicol. The slow growth of this fungus compared with other plant pathogenic and saprophytic fungi in soil disturbs isolation of this fungus from soil and infected ginseng. In this study, we developed a selective medium for C. destructans using radicicol produced by this fungus. Supplementing 50 mg/L of radicicol to medium inhibited the mycelia growth of other fungi including Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani and Alternaria panax, but did not affect the growth of C. destructans. In addition, conidia germination of other fungal species except for C. destructans was inhibited in submerged culture supplemented with radicicol. This medium provides a very efficient tool for isolating C. destructans and also can be used as an enrichment medium for this fungus.

Crops lack genetic resistance to most necrotrophic soil-borne pathogens and parasitic nematodes that are ubiquitous in agroecosystems worldwide. To overcome this disadvantage, plants recruit and nurture specific group of antagonistic microorganisms from the soil microbiome to defend their roots against pathogens and other pests. The best example of this microbe-based defense of roots is observed in disease-suppressive soils in which the suppressiveness is induced by continuously growing crops that are susceptible to a pathogen. Suppressive soils occur globally yet the microbial basis of most is still poorly described. Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae is a major disease of strawberry and is naturally suppressed in Korean fields that have undergone continuous strawberry monoculture. Here we show that members of the genus Streptomyces are the specific bacterial components of the microbiome responsible for the suppressiveness that controls Fusarium wilt of strawberry. Furthermore, genome sequencing revealed that Streptomyces griseus, which produces a novel thiopetide antibiotic, is the principal species involved in the suppressiveness. Finally, chemical-genetic studies demonstrated that S. griseus antagonizes F. oxysporum by interfering with fungal cell wall synthesis. An attack by F. oxysporum initiates a defensive "cry for help" by strawberry root and the mustering of microbial defenses led by Streptomyces. These results provide a model for future studies to elucidate the basis of microbially-based defense systems and soil suppressiveness from the field to the molecular level.

Southern blight, caused by the soil-borne fungus Sclerotium rolfsii, is a serious disease that affects many economically important crops. In this study, we selected Bacillus subtilis GJ6-14, from a total of 260 strains, to control Southern blight in pepper plants. In both seedling and plant tests, GJ6-14 significantly suppressed disease incidence and severity compared to control, furthermore, GJ6-14 demonstrated efficient colonization in the rhizosphere by maintaining the population from log 5.41 to log 3.92 in the pathogen-inoculated plants, indicating its potential as a biocontrol agent. Molecular analysis revealed up-regulation of defense-related genes, such as a 7.6-fold increase in LOX1 and 15.5-fold increase in PR1, at 72 hr after inoculation of S. rolfsii in GJ6-14-treated plants, suggesting activation of plant defense mechanisms. Overall, our findings highlight the promising role of B. subtilis GJ6-14 as a potential biocontrol agent in sustainable management of Southern blight in pepper plants.

Disease incidence of Codonopsis lanceolata was surveyed at the major cultivating fields in Chonbuk province in 1996 to 1997. The main diseases of Codonopsis lanceolata were ovserved as leaf spot caused by Septoria codonopsis, anthracnose by Glomerella cingulata, brown leaf spot by Cercospora sp., rust by Coleosporium koreanum, powdery mildew by Erysiphe sp., Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxyporum, and white root rot by Sclerotium rolfsii. Anthracnose, leaf spot and brown leaf spot occurred severely on leaves from early July to late August. They were caused early fallen leaves. Fusarium wilt and white root rot occurred severely on stem and below the soil line in late August. They resulted in withering to death or chlorosis and fallen of leaves. Disease incidence of Codonopsis lanceolata was also substantially different in occurrence with a method of cultivation in late growth stage. Fusarium wilt and white root rot were more severe with a method of no support cultivation than those with a method of support cultivation with a stick. Fusarium wilt occurred 48.8% in a method of no support cultivation but 3.1% in a method of support cultivation with a stick. And white root rot occurred 18.9% in a method of no support cultivation but 0.3% in a method of no support cultivation with a stick. Thus, it proved that soil-borne diseases could be controlled support cultivation with a stick.

Plasmodiophora brassicae is an obligate parasite, a causal organism of clubroot disease in crucifers that can survive in the soil as resting spores for many years. P. brassicae causes great losses in susceptible varieties of crucifers throughout the world. In this present study, an in planta molecular marker for the detection of P. bassicae was developed using an oligonucleotide primer set foam the small subunit gene (18S like) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA. The specific primer sequences determined were TCAGCTTGAATGCTAATGTG (ITS5) and CTACCTCATTTGAGATCCTTTGA (PB-2). This primer set was used to specifically detect p. bassicae in planta. The amplicon using the specific primer set was about 1,000 bp. However, the test plant and other soil-borne fungi including Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia app., as well as bacteria such as Pseudomonas app. and Erwinia sup. did not show any reaction with the primer set.

Disease suppression by ectomycorrhizal(ECM) fungi has been demonstrated on red pine seedlings. Culturing of pathogenic fungi on petri plates containing culture filtrates of ECM fungi showed that culture filtrates of the ECM fungus Hebeloma cylindrosporum may inhibit the mycelial growth of all tested soil-borne plant pathogenic(SBPP) fungi upto 60％, In order to examine the effects of ECM fungi on SBPP fungi and on red pine seedlings, both symbiotic and pathogenic fungi were inoculated into the soil with red pine seedlings by three inoculation methods; pre-inoculation of SBPP fungi 10 days before inoculation of ECM fungi, simultaneous inoculation of both fungi, post-inoculation of SBPP fungi 60 days after inoculation of ECM fungi. Seedling mortality, seedling growth, and ectomycorrhizal formation by the combined treatments were examined and compared. Pine seedlings were dead by the pre-inoculation of pathogenic fungi, except Rhizina undulate which required 9-12 days, within 6 days after inoculation. Among pathogenic fungi tested, Fusarium oxysporum was the most pathogenic with the mortality of 44％. However, no dead seedlings were shown by simultaneous inoculation of both fungi or pre-inoculation of ECM fungi. In addition, pine seedlings treated by simultaneous or post-inoculation of SBPP fungi were relatively higher than those treated by pre-inoculation in diameter at root crown and the number of ectomycorrhizal roots. There were no significant differences among inoculation methods in root length and dry weight of treated seedlings. It means that ECM fungi somehow play a role in protecting primary roots of red pine seedlings against invasion by the SBPP fungi.

Plant growth-promoting Psudomonas fluorescens GL20 was isolated from a ginseng rhizosphere on chrome azurol Sagar. P. fluorescens GL20 produced a large amount of hydoxamate siderophore in an iron-deficient medium. The siderophore showed significantly high specific activity of 20.2 unit. Using an in vitro antifungal test, P. fluorescens GL20 considerably suppressed growth of phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium solani, inhibiting spore germination and germ tube elongation. In pot trials of kidney beans with P. fluorescens GL20, disease incidence was remarkably reduced up to $68{\%}$ compared with that of F. solani alone, and plant growth was also increased nearly 1.6 fold as compared to that of the untreated control, promoting elongation and development of the roots. These results indicate that the plant growth-promoting activity of P. fluorescens GL20 can play an important role in biological control of soil-borne plant disease in a rhizosphere, enhancing the growth of plants.
