Late blight, caused by the hemibiotrophic oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans, has been the most important disease limiting potato production worldwide. P. infestans undergo major population shifts in agricultural systems via the successive emergence and migration of asexual lineages. The phenotypic and genotypic bases of these selective sweeps are largely unknown but management strategies need to adapt to reflect the changing pathogen population. Here, we used molecular markers to divide the 86 South Korea isolates into six clonal lineages: KR_1_A1, KR_2_A2, SIB-1, US-11, SIB-1 like, and KR-2 like. We documented the emergence of a new lineage, termed SIB-1 like, and KR-2 like, and their rapid replacement of other lineages to exceed 35% of the pathogen population across South Korea. Genome analyses of the Korean P. infestans populations revealed extensive genetic polymorphism, particularly in effector genes. Importantly, SIB-1 like isolates carry an intact Avr8 effector gene that triggers resistance in potato carrying the corresponding R immune receptor gene R8 cloned from Solarium demissum. These findings point toward a strategy for deploying genetic resistance to mitigate the impact of the SIB-1 like lineage and illustrate how pathogen population monitoring, combined with genome analysis, informs the management of devastating disease epidemics. Further study is being done on pathogenicity of the SIB-1 like isolates on cultivated potatoes and changes in expression patterns of disease effector genes within the SIB-1 like isolates

Genetic instability of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae has been suggested as a major factor underlying the rapid breakdown of host resistance in the field. However, little information is available on the mechanism of genetic instability. In this study, we assessed the stability of repetitive DNA elements and several key phenotypic traits important for pathogenesis after serially transferring two isolates though rice plants and an artificial medium. Using isolate 70-15, we obtained a total of 176 single-spore isolates from 10 successive rounds of culturing on artificial medium. Another 20 isolates were obtained from germ tubes formed at the basal and apical cells of 10 three-celled conidia. Additionally, 60 isolates were obtained from isolate KJ201 after serial transfers through rice plants and an artificial medium. No apparent differences in phenotypes, including mycelial growth, conidial morphologies, conidiation, conidial germination, appressorium formation, and virulence, or in DNA fingerprints using MGR586, MAGGY, Pot2, LINE, MG-SINE and PWL2 as probes were observed among isolates from the same parent isolate. Southern hybridization and sequence analysis of two avirulence genes, AVR-Pita1 and AVR-Pikm, showed that both genes were also maintained stably during 10 successive generations on medium and plants. However, one reversible loss of restriction fragments was found in the telomere-linked helicase gene (TLH1) family, suggesting some telomere regions may be more unstable than the rest of the genome. Taken together, our results suggest that phenotype and genotype of M. oryzae isolates do not noticeably change, at least up to 10 successive generations on a cultural medium and in host plants.

벼 도열병은 벼를 재배하는 지역에서 가장 중요한 병으로, 벼의 전 생육기에 감염하여 큰 수확량 손실을 초래한다. 우리나라에서는 벼 도열병 방제를 위하여 지속적으로 레이스를 확인하고 저항성 벼 품종을 육성하는 노력을 하고 있다. 북한에서도 벼 도열병은 가장 문제가 되는 곰팡이 병이지만 북한에서 발생하는 도열병균의 레이스 분포를 직접적으로 알기란 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 북한 접경지역에서 도열병 발생 분포를 알아보고 도열병균의 레이스 다양성과 비병원성 유전자 유무를 확인하였다. 단일 저항성 유전자를 도입한 단인자 저항성 계통을 이용하여 남한 내륙지역과 북한 접경지역에서 밭못자리 시험을 수행하였다. 남한 내륙지역인 전주와 수원에서는 도열병균이 단인자 저항성 계통에 다양한 병 반응을 일으킨 데에 반해, 북한 접경지역인 백령도와 중국 단둥에서는 비교적 단순한 병 반응을 보이며 높은 저항성을 보였다. 각 지역에서 분리한 도열병균에 대해 수행한 레이스 판별 결과, 남한 내륙지역과 북한 접경지역의 KI 레이스와 KJ 레이스 비율은 상반되게 나타났으며 남한 내륙지역이 북한 접경지역보다 다양한 레이스 분포를 보였다. 한편, 북한 접경지역에서는 남한 내륙지역에서 발견되지 않은 8개 레이스가 나타나 이에 대한 저항성 품종 육종 대비도 필요하다고 판단된다. 각 지역별로 분리한 대부분 균주에서는 Avr-Pii와 Avr-Pia를 제외한 9개 비병원성 유전자가 확인되었다. 이는 분리균주가 가지고 있는 비병원성 유전자에 변이로 인하여 병원성이 달라졌다고 판단되며, 추후 비병원성 유전자들에 대한 염기서열 분석과 각 균주에 대한 단인자 저항성 계통의 병 반응을 비교 분석함으로써 각 지역에 유효한 저항성 인자를 찾을 수 있을 것이다.

The rpf genes and $colS_{XOO1207}/colR_{XOO1208}$ were known to require for virulence of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). In Xoo KACC10331 genome, two more colS/colR genes, $colS_{XOO3534}$ (raxH)/$colR_{XOO3535}$ (raxR) and $colS_{XOO3762}/colR_{XOO3763}$ were annotated. The $colS_{XOO3534}/colR_{XOO3535}$ were known to control AvrXa21 activity and functions of $colS_{XOO3762}/colR_{XOO3763}$ were unknown in Xoo. To characterize the relationship between rpf and colS/colR genes, expression of colS/colR genes in Rpf mutants of Xoo were analyzed with quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Expressions of all three colS/colR genes increased in the rpfF mutant in which DSF synthesis is defective. Expression of $colS_{XOO1207}/col-R_{XOO1208}$, $colS_{XOO3534}/colR_{XOO3535}$ and $colS_{XOO3762}/colR_{XOO3763}$ increased 2, 2-7, 3-13 folds respectively. Expression of $colS_{XOO3534}$ and $colS_{XOO3762}$ also increased 2-4 folds in the rpfG mutant in which the signal from DSF is no longer transferred to down-stream. Expression of the other colS/colR genes was not significantly changed in the rpfG mutant compared to the wild type. Since RpfF and RpfG are responsible for DSF synthesis and signal transfer from DSF to down-stream to regulate virulence gene expression, these results suggest that the DSF and DSF-mediated signal regulate negatively three colS/colR genes in Xoo.

Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines (Xcg) is a major pathogen of soybean (Glycine max) in South Korea, despite the availability of soybean varieties with some resistance. We conducted a nationwide survey of the incidence and severity of bacterial pustule caused by Xcg. The percentage of infected fields was 7% to 17% between 2015 and 2017. We characterized the diversity of a nationwide collection of 106 Xcg isolates based on avrBs3 banding patterns. The isolates fell into 11 groups, each represented by a type strain; only two of these were similar to isolates collected from 1999 to 2002. The diversity of Xcg strains increased and the dominant strains changed between 1999 and 2017, with three new type strains comprising 44% of the isolates examined in 2012 to 2017. Pathogenicity tests did not show evidence for a shift in the races or aggressiveness of Xcg strains. Korean soybean cultivars, including the widely-grown Daewon cultivar, were susceptible to the 11 new type strains. The cultivar CNS, which carries the rxp resistance gene, was susceptible to most type strains, including two representing 83% of the Korean Xcg strains. In contrast, Williams 82, which also carries rxp, showed resistance to at least five type strains. Collectively, these results suggest that Williams 82 has resistance loci in addition to rxp. The widespread distribution of Xcg, the high virulence of the current endemic strains, and the low resistance of most Korean soybean cultivars collectively favor widespread disease in Korea in years that are favorable to pustule development.

벼 흰잎마름병은 세계적으로 벼 재배치에서 가장 문제시되는 병해충의 하나이다. 우리나라의 경우 상습발생지를 중심으로 Xa1과 Xa3 이 저항성 유전자로 활용되었으나, 소수의 저항원이 집중적으로 활용됨으로 인해 최근 이병화가 급속히 진행되고 있다. 특히 최근 Xa1과 Xa3 모두를 침해하는 새로운 균계 K3a가 확인됨에 따라 새로운 저항성 유전자의 동정 및 활용의 중요성이 높아가고 있다. 국내육성 자포니카품종 화성벼와 야생벼 O. minuta 간의 종간교잡을 통해 확립된 수원506호의 흰잎마름병에 대한 유전분석을 실시하였다. 수원506호와 통일계 품종인 밀양23호간의 교잡을 통해 확보한 F2 개체들을 활용하여 흰잎마름균주 HB3011 의 접종에 따른 병반장의 변이와 유전자지도 작성에 사용된 SSR 마커의 유전자형간의 연관성분석을 수행하였다. 수원506호의 흰잎마름병 저항성을 지배하며 우성유전자로 작용하는 주동유전인자가 염색체 4변 하단에서 SSR 마커 RM255 에 의해 표지 되었는데, 해당 염색체영역은 Xa1과 Xa2 및 Xa22 등이 보고되었던 영역과 매우 유사할 것으로 추정되었다.
