  • The objective of this study was to establish the stable cultivating method of adlay in paddy fields. The effect of soil moisture on the early of the transplanted adlay seeding was evaluated in 1996. the suitable transplanting period and the relationship between water management and leaf blight disease were tested in 1997. The critical transplanting date was June 30. rooting of transplanted adlay plants was retarded when soil moisture was saturated. However, sufficient soil moisture since one month after transplanting was required for the control of leaf blight disease and high yield of adlay.

  • Serratia plymuthim A21-4 strongly inhibits the mycelial growth, zoospore formation, and cystospore germination of Phytophthor spp and Pythium species. The bacterial isolate produced antifungal substance and chitinase. The bacteria also enhanced to plant growth remarkably in low nutritional condition. The application of cell suspension of A21-4 to pepper seedlings in greenhouse experiments and soil drenching in farmer's field was proved successfully to control the phythophthora blight of pepper. For the effective control, however, relatively high density of cell number(10$\^$9/cfu/$m\ell$) is required. Density effect was similar in plant growth promoting activity of A21-4. Though this investigation we improved the problem with changes of culture condition of bacteria and some nutritional amendment.

  • Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been shown to suppress phytopthora blight. This suppression has been related to both microbial antagonism and induced resistance. The PGPR isolates were screened by dual culture plate method and most of the isolates were showed varying levels of antagonism. Among the PGPR isolates pyoverdin, pyochelin and salicylic acid producing strains showed the maximum inhibition of mycelial growth of Phytopkhora capsici and increased plant growth promotion in red pepper. PGPR isolates further analysed for its ability to induce production of defence related enzymes and chemicals. The activities such as Phenyle alanin ammonia Iyase (PAL), Peroxidase (PO), Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and accumulation of phenolics were observed in PGPR pretreated red pepper plants challenged with Phytopkhora capsici. The present study shows that an addition of direct antagonism and plant growth promotion, induction of defense related enzymes involved to enhance resistance against invasion of P. capsici in red pepper.

  • During the screening of antifungal compounds from microbial secondary metabolites to control phytophthora blight of red pepper caused by Phytophthora capsici, a soil isolate, strain 38D10 was selected. Based on taxonomic studies, this strain was identified as Streptomyces neyagawaensis. The antifungal compound was purified from culture broth by HP-20 column chromatography, ethyl acetate extraction, silica gel column chromatography, HPLC and identified as concanamycin B by UV. $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR, SIMS analysis. Concanamycin B has strong antifungal activity against some phytopathogenic fungi but not antivacterial activity and preventive value were 50% and 100% at 125ppm and 250ppm in pot assay.

  • Calonectria pseudonaviculata and C. henricotiae are two closely related fungal species responsible for boxwood blight disease of ornamental shrubs (Buxus spp.) in the U.S. and Europe. A previous study has shown isolates of the latter species, which is restricted to Europe, to be less sensitive to tetraconazole, an azole fungicide. In this study, we have analyzed the CYP51 paralogs for polymorphism in 26 genomes, representing geographically disparate populations of C. pseudonaviculata (n = 19) and C. henricotiae (n = 7), from the U.S., Europe, Asia, and New Zealand. The presence of a CYP51A pseudogene and lack of a functional CYP51A paralog in all C. pseudonaviculata genomes examined is a novel discovery for fungi and could have implications for the evolution of resistance to antifungal chemicals.
