Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered to be a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics for future generations. We identified four novel hexapeptides with antimicrobial activity: KCM11 (TWWRWW-$NH_2$), KCM12 (KWRWlW-$NH_2$), KCM21 (KWWWRW-$NH_2$), and KRS22 (WRWFIH-$NH_2$), through positional scanning of a synthetic peptide combinatorial library (PS-SCL). The ability of these peptides to inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria and unicellular fungi was evaluated. KCM11 and KRS22 preferentially inhibited the normal growth of fungal strains, whereas KCM12 and KCM21 were more active against bacterial strains. Bactericidal activity was addressed in a clear zone assay against phytopathogenic bacteria, including Pectobacterium spp., Xanthomonas spp., Pseudomonas spp., etc. KCM21 showed the highest activity and was effective against a wide range of target organisms. Application of KCM21 with inoculation of Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum on detached cabbage leaves resulted in an immune phenotype or a significant reduction in symptom development, depending on the peptide concentration. Cytotoxicity of the four hexapeptides was evaluated in mouse and human epithelial cell lines using an MTT test. The results revealed a lack of cytotoxic effects.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain NJZJSB3 has shown antagonism of several phytopathogens in vitro, especially Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Both the broth culture and cell suspension of strain NJZJSB3 could completely protect the detached leaves of canola (Brassica napus) from S. sclerotiorum infection. In pot experiments, the application of strain NJZJSB3 cell suspension ($10^8CFU/ml$) decreased the disease incidence by 83.3%, a result similar to commercially available fungicide (Dimetachlone). In order to investigate the potential biocontrol mechanisms of strain NJZJSB3, the nonvolatile antifungal compounds it produces were identified as iturin homologs using HPLC-ESI-MS. Antifungal volatile organic compounds were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The detected volatiles toluene, phenol, and benzothiazole showed antifungal effects against S. sclerotiorum in chemical control experiments. Strain NJZJSB3 also produced biofilm, siderophores and cell-wall-degrading enzymes (protease and ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase). These results suggest that strain NJZJSB3 can be a tremendous potential agent for the biological control of sclerotinia stem rot.

Changes in the proline accumulation of ten-day-old seedlings of Vigna angularis in response to NaCl treatment were monitored. The proline content increased gradually both with an increase in the exposure time to salt stress and in a concentration-dependent manner. The increased proline accumulation was stronger in the shoots than in the roots. The salt stress by itself resulted in a significant inhibition of the chlorophyll content. Pre-treatment with proline before salinization lasting 48 h did not significantly affect the endogenous proline level in the roots, in contrast, a considerable increase of proline was observed in the shoots. The application of exogenous proline to the seedlings increased the endogenous proline content and improved the root and shoot growth under saline conditions. Detached leaves also exhibited an increased proline level in response to the applied NaCl, however, at a lower magnitude than in the intact seedlings. The proline alleviated the inhibitory effect of the NaCl in a concentration-dependent manner, thereby suggesting that salinity is a strong inducer of proline accumulation. In addition, abscisic acid eliminated the inhibitory effect of the salt salinity, thereby indicating a protective role on salinity stress and a regulatory role in proline synthesis. Accordingly, it would appear that proline may be involved in salt tolerance.

본답에서 재배되고 있는 방사선돌연변이계통들의 도열병 저항성 검정을 위하여 절리엽편접종법이 시도되었다. 즉 포장에서 절취한 잎을 항온항습실내에서 punch압상을 만들고 그 위에 도열병균의 포자현탁액을 접종한 후 형성된 병반의 크기를 측정하여 계통간의 저항성정도를 비교한 결과 방사선조사된 풍광으로부터 Upland short row method에 의하여 선발된 저항성계통들은 모품종 풍광에 비하여 저항성으로 나타났다. 따라서 이 방법은 포장에서 재배되는 성숙식물체의 도열병저항성 검정을 위한 하나의 선발방법으로서 효과적이라 생각되었다.

This study was conducted to investigate growth characteristics of irrigation period of greenary mats focused on management as a material to apply on rooftop. Using Sedum kamtschaticum, Sedum takesimense, Sedum reflexum, Sedum album and Sedum burrito greenary mats were made. The irrigation periods were every 3 days, 7 days, and 10 days after made each greenary mats.1. All treatments on survival ratio of 5 Sedum species were over 96%. Especially, new individuals were emerged from naturally detached leaves. 2. Growth of S. kamtschaticum, S. takesimense, S. reflexum were good on 7 day irrigation treatment. 3. The highest covering ratio of S. burrito was 3 day irrigation treatment, and the hightest of the others were 7 day irrigation treatment. Considerations for species selection, mixture, ratio and management were obtained from this study.

Botrytis cinerea is a major fungal plant pathogen that causes gray mold disease in strawberries, leading to a decrease in strawberry yield. While benzimidazole is widely used as a fungicide for controlling this disease, the increasing prevalence of resistant populations to this fungicide undermines its effectiveness. To investigate benzimidazole resistant B. cinerea in South Korea, 78 strains were isolated from strawberries grown in 78 different farms in 2022, and their EC₅₀ values for benzimidazole were examined. As a result, 64 strains exhibited resistance to benzimidazole, and experimental tests using detached strawberry leaves and the plants in a greenhouse confirmed the reduced efficacy of benzimidazole to control these strains. The benzimidazole resistant strains identified in this study possessed two types of mutations, E198A or E198V, in the TUB2 gene. To detect these mutations, TaqMan probes were designed, enabling rapid identification of benzimidazole resistant B. cinerea in strawberry and tomato farms. This study utilizes TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis to swiftly identify benzimidazole resistant B. cinerea, thereby offering the possibility of effective disease management by identifying optimum locations and time of application.

인삼탄저병에 감염된 포기의 종자에는 $42\%$, 겉으로 건전한 포기의 종자에도 $4\~17\%$의 탄저병균을 보유하고 있었으며, Fusarium, Alternaria, Phoma, Trichoderma 등도 많이 분리되었다. 탄저병균은 실내에 있는 잎의 조직에서 18개월간 생존하였으며, 옥외의 노지, 지하 10, 30cm에서도 월동할 수 있었다. 인삼잎에 탄저병균의 분생자를 접종하였을 때에 $25-35^{\circ}C$ 발병하였고, $17^{\circ}C$이하에서는 전혀 병반이 형성되지 않았다. 암흑구, 400룩스구에서 탄저병반은 미소하였고, 1200룩스구에서 중정도, 직사광선에서는 극심하였다. 그리고 연령이 어린 잎일수록, 분생자수가 많을수록 병반면적율은 높았다. 병원균의 균사생장 및 분생자형성의 최적온도는 $25^{\circ}C$였고, 균사생장의 최적 pH는 2.8-4.2였으며 분생사형성은 5.2-5.8이었다. 포장에서 살균제와 인삼${\cdot}$탄저병균의 분생자를 함께 3년생식물에 처리했을 때 방제효과가 큰 것은 difolatan 그리고 maneb, zineb, captan, phaltan의 순위였으며 ferbam과 보르도액은 약간 낮았다.

감자역병은 감자재배에서 가장 중요한 병 중의 하나다. 감자역병의 친환경방제를 위하여 SH-1와 SH-2을 이용하여 감자역병균의 균사생장, 예방효과, 잎을 이용한 생물검정 및 포장시험을 통해 평가하였다. 실내에서 유묘를 이용한 시험에서 SH-1와 SH-2 제형을 살포 후 역병균을 접종 후 예방효과를 조사한 결과 95% 이상 발병을 억제하는 효과가 있었다. SH-1과 SH-2의 균사생장 억제 효과는 $300{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 균총의 크기를 74% 이상을 억제하였다. 잎을 이용한 생물검정에서 1% SH-1와 SH-2을 살포 후 1시간 뒤에 병원균을 접종한 결과 병의 발달을 줄였다. 감자 줄기에 총 폴리페놀 함량도 SH-1와 SH-2을 살포한 구에서 증가하였다. 포장에서 역병방제효과 시험에서 1% SH-1와 SH-2을 7일 간격 4회 살포한 처리구에서 각각 72%와 53%의 역병 방제 효과가 있었으며, 14일간 3회 살포한 구에도 유사한 병 방제효과를 보였다. 감자비대기에 1% SH-1와 SH-2 살포는 감자 생체 중을 증가시켰으며, 상품의 비율도 높았다. 이 결과에 의하면 SH-1와 SH-2의 살포는 친환경 유기농업에서 천연살균제로서 역병 방제에 사용 할 수 있으며, 감자 수확량도 증가시킬 수 있다.

Genetic transformation carried out to induce the pathogenicity mutants from the two isolates, Elsinoe fawcettii R-34 and MUD of citrus scab fungus to hygromycin resistant by transferring plasmides (pUCATPH) that contain hygB gene. We produced protoplast for transformation by using of combinations of available enzymes including ${\beta}$-D-glucanase, ${\beta}$ -glucuronidase, Iyticase and driselase. The protoplasts regenerated at 64 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of hygromycin B but not 128 $\mu\textrm{g}$ in sensitivity test to identify the concentration of useful marker for the selection of transformants. Approximately 1200 and 67 hygromycin resistant isolates from strain R-34 and strain MUD, respectively, were isolated on PDA added with 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /ml of hygromycun B. Fifty seven and 4 of hygromycin resistant isolates from strain R-34 and MUD, respectively, did not produce necrotic lesions on the leaf in detached-leaf assay. Finally, 9 isolates were isolated from strain R-34, and these Isolates produced non or very few symptoms on seedlings of citrus in greenhouse pathogenicity test. And it's very interesting that some isolates produced melanose-like symptom on very young leaves which it was not typical symptom and somtimes produced on only expanded leaf.
