'Gangbaek' is a japonica rice variety developed and registered by the rice breeding team of Department of Rice and Winter Cereal Crop, NICS, RDA in 2006. 'Gangbaek' was derived from a cross between 'Suweon345' with good grain quality and 'DV85' resistant to bacterial blight, $K_{3a}$. $F_1$ plants were grown in the greenhouse in winter of 1992/1993 and backcrossed with 'Suweon345' as the recurrent parent. Plants resistant to $K_{3a}$ race of bacterial blight (BB) were selected from $BC_1F_1$ to $BC_4F_1$ and used as parents in the backcrossing processes. This variety has about 120 days growth duration from transplanting to harvesting in west-southern coast and Honam plain of Korea. It is about 69 cm in culm length and tolerance to lodging. In reaction to biotic and abiotic stresses, it shows moderately resistance to blast, and resistance to bacterial blight pathogen, $K_1$, $K_2$, $K_3$ and $K_{3a}$, but susceptible to other major diseases and insect pests. The milled rice of 'Gangbaek' exhibits translucent, relatively clear non-glutinous endosperm and midium short grain. It has lower amylose content of 18.6% and protein content of 6.4% compared with 'Nampyeongbyeo'. The milled rice yield performance of this variety is about 5.28 MT/ha in local adaptability test for three years. This cultivar would be adaptable to the bacterial blight-prone area in the south-western coastal and Honam plain of Korea.

In order to investigate the cause of wilting symptoms in red pepper field of Korea, the frequency of occurrence of red peppers showing wilting symptoms was investigated in pepper cultivation fields in Goesan, Chungcheongbuk-do for 5 years from 2010 to 2014. There was a difference in the frequency of wilting symptoms depending on the year of investigation, but the frequency of occurrence increased as the investigation period passed from June and July to August. During this period, Ralstonia solanacearum causing the bacterial wilt was isolated at a rate four times higher than Phytophthora capsica causing the Phytophthora late blight. In wilted peppers collected in Goesan of Chungbuk and Andong of Gyeongbuk in 2013 and 2014, R. solanacearum and P. capsici were isolated from 20.3% and 3.8% of the total fields, respectively. In the year with a high rate of wilting symptoms, the average temperature was high, and the disease occurrence date of the bacterial wilt, estimated with disease forecasting model, was also fast. The inconsistency between the number of days at risk of Phytophthora late blight and the frequency of occurrence of wither symptoms is thought to be due to the generalization of the use of cultivars resistant to the Phytophthora late blight in the pepper field. In our study, the wilting symptoms were caused by the bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum rather than the Phytophthora late blight caused by P. capsica, which is possibly caused by increasing cultivation of pepper varieties resistant to the Phytophthora late blight in the field.

Compatible and incompatible interactions of near-isogenic lines containing one of Xa1, Xa3, and Xa7 resistance genes with Japanese bacterial blight isolates (T7174, T7147, and T7133) were examined in order to determine the variation of bacterial blight resistance and the stability of resistance gene. IRBB 101 line having a Xal gene was compatible (host susceptible) with T7147 and T7133 isolates but incompatible (host resistant) with T7174 isolate at all the tested rice growth stages. IRBB 103 line having a Xa3 gene was susceptible or moderately resistant to the three isolates at seedling and maximum tillering stage but resistant at heading stage. IRBB 101 line having a Xa7 gene was semi-compatible with the three isolates at seedling stage but incompatible at the other growth stages. Overall there were clear differences between compatible and incompatible interactions of rice with Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae races. In the mixed inoculations of compatible and incompatible isolates, the lesion length from near-isogenic lines decreased as the ratios of incompatible races increased. When the distinction between compatible and incompatible isolates was unclear, there was almost no variation of lesion length regardless of mixed ratios. The pathogenicity of the mixed races in the incompatible Interactions increased rather than the individual inoculation whereas the lesion length of compatible interactions was similar to that of the individual inoculation. These data indicate the incompatible races inhibit the virulence of a compatible race but compatible races increase the disease occurrence due to incompatible races. Furthermore, IRBB 107 line that showed resistance to all the isolates at all the tested growth stages was considered as a good parent f3r breeding of resistant variety.

Black shoot blight disease caused by Erwinia pyrifoliae have damaged economic loss to apple and pear growers until now since it was firstly reported in 1995 in Korea. This study was performed to reduce economic loss by mandatory eradication of all infected trees in case of more 10% disease incidence per orchard as official control. It also aims to set up effective management protocol for this disease by examining how far bacterial pathogen is present from the border of symptomatic and asymptomatic regions in infected apple twigs. Colony-PCR using isolated bacterial cells instead of genomic DNA was used to identify bacterial pathogen, EpSPF/EpSPR primer designed in enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) region was selected as specific for E. pyrifoliae. As results of monitoring of this disease during April to October in 2014-2015 by colony-PCR, occurrence of this disease was frequent from mid-May to early-July, when daily average temperature was around $25^{\circ}C$. Moreover, bacterial cells were continuously detected only in symptomatic regions and also asymptomatic regions of less than 20 cm from symptomatic regions. Therefore, we concluded that pruning of infected twigs at the region of more than 20 cm from symptomatic regions might be effective to manage black shoot blight disease in apple trees.

Rice wild relatives have been recognized as reservoirs of genetic reinforcements to improve cultivating rice against biotic and abiotic stresses. A wild relative, Oryza. minuta(BBCC; Acc. 101141), was hybridized with a Korean Japonica cultivar, 'Hwaseong'(AA), followed by ovule culture and several times of back crossings to overcome high level of sterility. During evaluation of the introgression lines, breeding line exhibited resistance to bacterial blight with reasonable agronomic performances, and nominated as an elite breeding line, the 'Suweon497'. A mapping population, to dissect genetic basis of the resistance, was constructed by using $F_2$ progenies of the 'Suweon497' ${\times}$ 'Milyang23'. Association analysis between SSR marker genotypes and pathogenisity levels of each $F_2$ progeny revealed the end terminal region of rice chromosome 11 as the nesting place for the wild rice derived bacterial blight resistance gene, where at least four other genes, Xa3, Xa4, Xa26 and Xa31, have been reported.

Bacterial blight of carrot caused by Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae (Xhc) is one of the serious diseases of carrot, of which control measures has not been still established in the domestic farm. In this study, in order to select effective sterilizer for bacterial blight of carrots, three antibiotics such as streptomycin, oxolinic acid, kasugamycin, two copper compounds like copper hydroxide and copper sulfate basic and three rhizobacteria Burkholderia gladioli MRL408-3, Pseudomonas fluorescens TRH415-2 and Bacillus cereus KRY505-3 were selected to investigate their direct antibacterial effects using artificial media, aiming to identify effective pesticides against Xhc. Among them, treated medium with antibiotics such as streptomycin, oxolinic acid, and the antagonistic rhizobacteria MRL408-3 were formed inhibition zone. The agrochemicals and the rhizobacteria MRL408-3, which showed antibacterial effects on carrot leaves, pre-treated on the carrot leaves and then inoculated with Xhc. High control effects were shown on the carrot leaves pre-treated with both streptomycin and oxolinic acid. Scanning electron microscopy images of the carrot leaf surfaces showed that the population of bacteria decreased significantly on leaves pre-treated with streptomycin and oxolinic acid. From these results, it can be inferred that antibiotics like streptomycin and oxolinic acid exhibit superior control effects compared to other agents. This study provides valuable insights towards establishing an effective control system for bacterial blight of carrot.

In 2004, average temperature was higher, and rainfall was less than those of previous year, The diseases of rice, barley, pepper, chinese melon, apple and oriental pear were surveyed. Seedling diseases, leaf blast, sheath blight and bacterial blight of rice, phytophthova blight, virus diseases and anthracnose of pepper, and sudden wilt syndrome and powdery mildew of chinese melon grown in plastic greenhouse were severe. Especially, sheath blight and bacterial blight of rice occurred two times higher than those of previous year, Panicle blight of rice decreased about 4 times, compared with the previous year, presumed that the lower rainy days, rainfall and RH suppressed spread of the fungal pathogens to panicles of rice. Lower rainfall during mid- and late Aug caused three-times less occurrence of phytophtora blight of red-pepper than that of the previous year, Another diseases surveyed occurred similar or less than those of the previous year.

The experiments were conducted to examine the formation of chemical resistance of Xanthomonas oryze, the causal organism of rice bacterial leaf blight, to Agrepto in the succeeding geerations. The measurements of the bacterial growth were determined with the optical density as indirect method, and the results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. The Agrepto was effective in hindering the bacterial growth in the treatment of first generation, which was added in the broth even as low concentration as 30ppm. 2. when the successive four generations were treated with same concentrations, the bacterial growth increased conspicuously with succeeding generations and this phenomenon showed remarkable in the plots treated with 30ppm than in that of 10ppm. 3. When selections were repeated at treatment of 20 ppm, increasing the concentrations of the treatment in successive generations, the resistance increased with succeeding generations. 4. There was a tendency to acquire the higher rate of resistance in the progenies which selected from the treated plot of higher concentrations in previous generation than that of low concentrations.

Selection procedures for breeding genic male sterile lines for resistance to both Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora capsici and bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas euvesicatoria were executed to $F_3$ and $F_4$ generations derived from a cross between a Phytophthora resistant genic male sterile (GMS) breeding line and a bacterial spot and Phytophthora resistant breeding line. Resistance to P. capsici was originally introduced from KC294(CM334) and KC263(AC2258), the well-known sources of resistance to P. capsici. Resistance to bacterial spot was introduced from KC47(PI244670). GMS lines with high resistance to P. capsici were obtained and the selected lines are expected to be quantitatively resistant also to bacterial spot.
