Brown rot symptoms severely occurred on fruits of apricot and mume grown in Changnyeong, Suwon and Yeongi in Korea during a disease survey in June 2002. A total of 32 isolates of Phomopsis sp. was obtained from the fruit rot symptoms. All isolates were identified as Phomopsis vexans based on their morphological and cultural characteristics. Four isolates of the fungus were tested for pathogenicity to fruits of apricot and mume by artificial inoculation. All isolates induced brown rot symptoms on the fruits of apricot and mume by wound inoculation. Unwounded inoculation also induced symptoms on mume fruits but not on apricot fruits. The symptoms on the fruits induced by artificial inoculation were similar to those observed in the orchard. The pathogenicity tests revealed that mume was more susceptible to the pathogen than apricot. This is the first report of brown rot of apricot and mume caused by P. vexans.

An unreported disease of apricot was observed in orchards in Zhejiang province, China. Symptoms started as water soaked lesions on the fruit surface. Later, water-soaked areas developed and spread to the entire fruit, resulting in soft rot of the whole fruit. The causal organism isolated from symptomatic fruits was identified as Burkholderia cepacia based on its biochemical and physiological characteristics and confirmed by the cellular fatty acid composition and Biolog data as well as 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The bacterial isolates caused similar symptoms when inoculated onto fruits of apricot. In addition, European plum, Japanese plum, nectarine and kiwifruit were susceptible to the B. cepacia pathogen. However, the B. cepacia pathogen failed to cause any visible symptoms when it was inoculated onto 16 other fruits. This is the first report of a bacterial disease of apricot caused by B. cepacia in China.

The Burkholderia cepacia complex isolates causing bacterial fruit rot of apricot were characterized by speciesspecific PCR tests, recA-HaeIII restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assays, rep-PCR genomic fingerprinting, recA gene sequencing, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis. Results indicated that the isolates Bca 0901 and Bca 0902 gave positive amplifications with primers specific for B. vietnamiensis while the two bacterial isolates showed different recA-RFLP and rep-PCR profiles from those of B. vietnamiensis strains. In addition, the two bacterial isolates had a higher proteolytic activity compared with that of the non-pathogenic B. vietnamiensis strains while no cblA and esmR marker genes were detected for the two bacterial isolates and B. vietnamiensis strains. The two bacterial isolates were identified as Burkholderia seminalis based on recA gene sequence analysis and MLST analysis. Overall, this is the first characterization of B. seminalis that cause bacterial fruit rot of apricot.

2015년 6월에 살구나무(Modern과 Alexander 품종)에 잿빛무늬병이 발생하였으며, 과실에 대한 발병률은 5% 정도였다. 잿빛무늬병은 발생 초기 살구 과실의 표면에 작은 갈색 반점이 생기다가 병이 진전된 후에는 점차 확대되어 수침상의 병반이 퍼지고, 시간이 더 지나면 갈변된 원형의 병반 위에 백색의 포자 덩어리가 밀생하여 결국에는 과실 전체가 부패하였다. 특히, 수확기 1-2주를 앞두고 잿빛무늬병 발생이 더욱 심하였다. M. fructicola 분생포자는 분지된 염주상으로 사슬모양을 나타냈으며, 단생, 투명하고, 난형-레몬형으로 크기는 $14.6-18.0{\times}8.5-11{\mu}m$였다. 살구 잿빛무늬병을 일으키는 병원균의 형태적 특징, 병원성 검정, rDNA의 ITS 영역의 염기서열 분석을 기초로 M. fructicola로 동정하였으며, NCBI에서 BLAST search한 결과 M. fructicola로 등록된 GenBank accession Nos. KC544809, JN176564, FJ515894, KM279616 등과 100% 일치하는 것으로 확인되었다.

To investigate Phomopsis species causing fruit decays of Japanese apricot, apple and kiwifruit, we collected diseased fruits from the fruit markets in 1995 and 1996 respectively. Phomopsis mali Roberts was identified based on cultural characteristics, morphological aspects and pathogenicity. There were no remarkable differences with respect to $\alpha$ and $\beta$ conidia, growth rates and colony characters among the isolates from Japanese apricot, apple and kiwifruit. The pathogens grew more than 70 mm on potato dextrose agar in 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$. The agar was slightly discolored by the production of a reddish purple pigment under the light at $25^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Only $\alpha$ spores of the different isolates of P. mali were formed at 15$^{\circ}C$ and $\beta$ spores were mainly produced at 3$0^{\circ}C$, but and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ spores were produced in approximately equal numbers at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$. Pycnidia were a few under the dark condition but were abundant at wide range of 15~3$0^{\circ}C$ under near ultra violet illumination. Conidia were two types : $\alpha$ spores were unicellar, fusoid, hyaline and biguttulate, whereas $\beta$ sores were unicellar, acicular to filiform, straight or hooked and hyaline. An ascigerous stage was not formed in cultures or in nature. Isolates of Phomopsis mali from japanese apricot, apple and kiwifruit could infect fruits of apple, pear, apricot, Japanese apricot and kiwifruit. There were some differences in pathogenicity depending on stocks of fruit crops tested.

2015년과 2017년 6-7월에 전라북도 전주와 임실에서 매실, 복숭아, 살구, 자두, 체리 등 핵과류에 잿빛무늬병이 2-5% 정도 발생하였다. 잿빛무늬병은 일부 꽃과 잎에서도 발생하였지만, 주로 과실에 발생하였다. 초기병징은 과실의 표면에 작은 원형의 갈색 반점이 생기고, 병이 진전됨에 따라서 점차 수침상으로 확대되었으며, 후기에는 갈변된 원형의 병반 위에 백색 내지 회백색의 포자 덩어리가 밀생하여 눈꽃처럼 피고, 과실 전체로 확대되었다. 핵과류에서 분리된 분생포자는 분지된 염주상으로 사슬모양(monilioid chains)을 나타냈으며, 단생, 투명하고, 난형-레몬형이었다. 분리된 균주들의 온도별 균사생장 적온은 $20-25^{\circ}C$이며, 균사생장에 적합한 배지는 OA와 PDA이었다. 핵과류 잿빛무늬병을 일으키는 병원균의 형태적 특징, 병원성 검정, ribosomal DNA (rDNA)의 ITS 영역의 염기서열 분석을 기초로 Monilinia fructicola로 동정하였다. 대표 균주에 대한 병원성은 인공접종으로 확인하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 핵과류에서 발생하는 M. fructicola에 의한 잿빛무늬병에 대한 최초 보완자료이다.
