Potato Virus Y(PVY), vein necrosis strain, in Korea causes severe symptoms on burley tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum L.). As the results, programs to incorporate PVY resistance into commercial cultivars were initiatEd. But the development of the homozygous fertile line resistant to PVY is time consumming. This study was conducted whether the Fl hybrid could be used to reduce the yield losses caused by PVY. Four F1 hybrids were made between male - sterile(ms) NC 107 and KB 107 as maternal parent, and TC 612 and TC 613 as Pollen donor, respectively, and were evaluated for their PVY resistance and negatively associated traits. (ms NC 107 X TC 612) F1, named as KB 109, Ivas applied to yield trial and compared with commercial cultivars for the level of disease resistance, agronomic characteristics, chemical contents and physical properties. All Fl hybrid could be used commercially as the PVY resistant cultivar. Especially KB 109 have the resistance against PVY, tobacco mosaic virus and black shank(Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae). It had wider leaves, flowered one day later, and yield of acceptable quality was higher than that of Burley 21, standard cultivar in Korea.

The coat protein (CP) gene was cloned from RNA genome of the Cucumber Mosaic Virus strain ABI (CMV-ABI) isolated in Korea. The comparisons of the nucleotide sequence of the cloned CP gene and its deduced amino acid sequences with other CP genes revealed that the CMV-ABI belongs to subgroup I (type I), CMV-ABI developed the typical mosaic symptom in infected plants. Tobacco plants (Samsun and NC82) were transformed by leaf-disc transformation via Agrobacterium, temefaciens LB4404 harboring pVCP, witch CMV-ABI CP gene was inserted into the pBI121, and a number of mature transgenic tobacco plants were developed. Southern and PCR analysis of genomic DNA from the transgenic plants showed that the CP gene was integrated into the genomes of the most of the transgenic plant. Result of the segregation patterns of resistance in T1 seedlings of the plants to kanamycin showed that the transgenic plants containing l,2 and 3 copies of CP gene were50%, 39% and 11% of the total transgenic plants, respectively.

A Cucumber mosaic virus (named CMV-Tr1) isolated from the white clover (Trifolium repens) showing mosaic and malformation that found in a pepper field. Cucumber mosaic virus was identified through confirmation with PT-PCR, PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism, and sequence analysis of coat protein (CP) gene. CMV-Tr1 mosaic symptom on the upper leaves of five tobacco species including Nicotiana benthamiana, Cucumis sativus, Physalis angulata, and Solanum lycopersicon. In Chenopodium quinoa and Vigna unguiculata the isolate showed local lesions in inoculated leaves. CMV-Tr1 compared with CMV-As in the sequence identity of CP gene. CMV-Tr1 showed 98.9% and 99.5% homologies at nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the CP gene indicated that CMV-Tr1 belongs to the CMV subgroup IB base on the CP. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CMV in T. repens in Korea.

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), TMV-common strain, causes severe damage at growth, yield and leaf quality on flue-cured tobacco in Korea. Controlling TMV outbreak with cultivating practices and chemicals are limited, thus, the best way would be developing TMV resistant variety. A new flue-cured hybrid, KF118, was developed from a cross of maternal parent MSTC175 and TC853 at the Agro-tech. Research Group, KT＆G Central Research Institute. KF118 exhibited more vigorous growth characteristics in early stage than that of NC82, standard variety in Korea, while other characters were favorable to those of NC82, It is highly resistant to TMV and bacterial wilt(Ral-stonia solanacerum), and black shank(phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae) is comparable to that of NC82. It should adapt well to the flue-cured production area, and can reduce premature flowering under unfavorable weather conditions. Yield of KF118 is 1 to 2% higher, and leaf quality is 4% higher than NC82. Fl hybrid, KF118, met acceptable standards for chemical and physical characteristics of cured leaf, and ranked high in good smoking taste by panel members in KT＆G.

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) tomato strain was isolated from tomato "Seo-Kwang" in Korea. The virion was purified by density gradient centrifugation, and total viral RNA was isolated from the purified particles. Coat protein (CP) cDNA of the virus was synthesized by RT-PCR, and the purified cDNA fragment was subcloned to pBluescript II SK-. The analysis of nucleotide sequence showed that this cDNA was 693 nucleotides long from the insert of clone p1571 and p1572 which contain complete codons of the viral coat protein gene (474 nucleotides) and 3' untranslated region. The nucleotides of coat protein encoding cDNA of the strain were 6 nucleotides less than that of TMV common strain isolated from tobacco plant in Korea. The CP gene showed 70% maximum homology with that of the common strain in the nucleotide level and 86% maximum homology in amino acid level.cid level.

Gelatin particle agglutination test (GPAT) was optimized for detection of Tobamovirus and contamination of the virus in commercial pepper seeds was evaluated. The optimum concentration of ${\gamma}$-globulin G, specific to tobacco mosaic virus pepper strain, was 100 ug/ml. The sensitivity of GPAT for the detection of Tobamovirus in pepper seeds was as high as enzyme-linked immunosorbent and dot immunoblotting assays. Optimum dilution ranges of the seed extract for GPAT was 5-25 folds. Using the optimized GPAT with above conditions, the rate of Tobamovirus contamination in seeds was turned out to be average of 79.1%.

Viral RNA was extracted from a purified orchid strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV-O) from Cymbidium "Grace Kelly". Polyadenylated viral RNAs were primed with Not I-oligo (dT) primer-adapter. First-strand cDNAs were reversely transcribed by Moloney murine leukaemia virus reverse transcriptase (RNAse H-), and then second-strand cDNAs were synthesized by RNase H and DNA polymerase I. The resulting double-stranded cDNAs were ligated into pSPORT1 vector and transformed into competent E. coli strain JM109 cells. The size of cDNAs within the recombinant plasmids was ranging from 0.9 to 3.9 kb. Among the selected clones, pTMO-0205 and -0210 covered the 3' half and the 5' half of the viral genomic RNA, respectively, which were covering more than 99% of the viral genemo size based on sequencing analysis. Two cDNA fragments which were 3.1 kb BamHI and NotI fragement released from pTMO-0.205 and 3.3 kb SalI and BamHI fragment released from pTMO-0210 were ligated with T4 DNA ligase. The clone was almost entire length, lacking only 31 nucleotides from the 5' terminus based on the sequencing result. This method was shown to be efficiently applicable to other plant viral gnomic RNA for the construction of cDNA.n of cDNA.

Numerous chemicals were tasted to show antiviral activity in vitro against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). With a brief exposure of TMV to 1 N HCl or 1-0.1 N NaOH, Virions and their encapsidated RNAs were degraded completely and rapidly. When TMV was exposed to 0.1 N HCl, the hydrolysis of viral capsid in 5 min after treatment was observed in the 1% agarose gel. Virions and their encapsidated RNAs were not degraded by 0.01N HCl of 0.01N NaOH. These characteristics indicate that a short exposure to optimal concentration of acid or base is of practical value in eliminating infectious virus. The treatment of 50% isopropanol or UV light did not damage in viral integrity or their encapsidated RNAs. Disinfection of the agricultural tools and laboratory equipments using appropriate disinfectants is necessary to prevent cross contamination if farm and laboratory.

During the screening of antiviral substances having inhibitory effects on tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection to tobacco plants, we found a bacterial isolate KTGBP10, which was identified as a Stenotrophomonas sp., strongly inhibited the infection of TMV. When the culture filtrate from KTGBP10 was applied on the upper surface of leaves of Xanthi-nc tobacco plants at the same time or 24 hours before TMV inoculation, almost complete inhibition of TMV infection was achieved. And $40\%$ inhibition was shown with application of the culture filtrate to the under surface of leaves. In field trials, transmission of TMV from diseased seedlings to the healthy ones during transplanting work was reduced by $87.1\~92.6\%$ when the culture filtrate or cell suspension was sprayed onto the tobacco seedlings, cv. NC82, 24 hours before transplanting. No toxic effect was observed on the tobacco plants. When the broth filtrate of KTGBP10 was supplied by soaking through the cut-leaves before and/or after virus inoculation, the TMV infection was also inhibited by $50.4\~65.3\%$.
