We investigated influence of three commercial antibiotics viz., oxolinic acid, streptomycin, and validamycin A, on biocontrol and plant growth promoting activities of Bacillus vallismortis EXTN-1 and BS07M in Chinese cabbage. Plants were pre-drenched with these strains followed by antibiotics application at recommended and ten-fold diluted concentration to test the effect on biocontrol ability against soft rot caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum SCC1. The viability of the two biocontrol strains and bacterial pathogen SCC1 was significantly reduced by oxolinic acid and streptomycin in vitro assay, but not by validamycin A. In plant trials, strains EXTN-1 and BS07M controlled soft rot in Chinese cabbage, and there was a significant difference in disease severity when the antibiotics were applied to the plants drenched with the two biocontrol agents. Additional foliar applications of oxolinic acid and streptomycin reduced the disease irrespective of pre-drench treatment of the PGPRs. However, when the plants were pre-drenched with EXTN-1 followed by spray of validamycin A at recommended concentration, soft rot significantly reduced compared to untreated control. Similarly, strains EXTN-1 and BS07M significantly enhanced plant growth, but it did not show synergistic effect with additional spray of antibiotics. Populations of the EXTN-1 or BS07M in the rhizosphere of plants sprayed with antibiotics were significantly affected as compared to control. Taken together, our results suggest that the three antibiotics used for soft rot control in Chinese cabbage could affect bacterial mediated biocontrol and plant growth promoting activities. Therefore, combined treatment of the PGPRs and the commercial antibiotics should be carefully applied to sustain environmental friendly disease management.

Sphaerotheca aphanis var. aphanis에 의한 딸기 흰가루 병은 수확기에 발생하여 국내에서 가장 큰 문제가 되고 있는 중요한 병해이다. 딸기 흰가루병은 초기에 적절히 방제하지 않았으 경우 급격히 전반되어 방제가 어렵기 때문에 재배초기의 적절한 약제처리가 흰가루병 방제에 필수적이다. 이 연구는 효과적인 수확기 흰가루병 방제를 위한 최적의 약제처리시기를 밝혀내고자 감수성 품종인 'Akihime'와 'Dochiodome'를 대상으로 개화 전 약제 처리체계에 따른 방제효과를 비교, 분석하였다. Strobilulin 계통의 azoxystrobin과 kresoxim-methyl 및 유기동제인 DBEDC를 처리시기와 방법을 달리하여 딸기 수확기까지 처리하였다. 여러 가지 처리조합 가운데 딸기 묘를 정식 전 DBEDC에 침지 처리한 후 개화 전 멀칭시기에 kresoximmethyl 엽면살포하는 방법이 흰가루병 방제에 가장 효과적이었다. 이 방제체계는 촉성재배시 수확기 흰가루병 방제에서 처리시기의 중요성을 제시할 뿐만 아니라 재배자에게도 저농약 재배방법을 제공하고 경영비도 감소시켜 줄 것이다.

본 연구는 저면관수와 엽면살포의 두 가지 관수방법에서 세 가지 규산염($CaSiO_3$, $K_2SiO_3$, $Na_2SiO_3$)의 처리가 칼랑코에의 생육에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행하였다. 칼랑코에 'Peperu'를 2010년 7월 17일 삽목하고, 2010년 8월 3일에 삽목묘 중 균일한 개체를 선발하여 상토(토실이상토, 신안그로)가 담긴 10.5cm 포트에 정식하였다. 정식 후 세 가지 규산염($CaSiO_3$, $Na_2SiO_3$, $K_2SiO_3$)을 $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Si의 농도로 엽면살포 또는 저면관수로 처리하였다. 재배 중의 EC는 1.4-$1.6mS{\cdot}cm^{-1}$로, pH는 6.0의 범위를 유지하도록 공급양액과 공급량을 조절하였다. 규산염 처리 12주째에 수확하여 초장, 경경, 엽록소 함량, 꽃대 수, 꽃대 길이, 생체중과 건물 중, 그리고 식물체 내 축적된 규소함량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 저면관수와 엽면살포 처리 시 초장과 꽃대길이가 줄어들었지만, 엽면살포 처리 시 잎이 썩거나 물러지는 현상이 발견되었다. 세 가지 다른 규산염 종류 사이에서는 저면관수를 통해 공급한 $CaSiO_3$ 처리에서 규소가 칼랑코에 잎에 가장 많이 흡수되었고, 그 영향으로 엽록소 함량이 증가하였다. 신초 조직의 원소 함량은 $CaSiO_3$, $K_2SiO_3$, 그리고 $NaSiO_3$ 처리에 따라 $Ca^+$, $K^+$, 그리고 $Na^+$가 각각 높았고, 저면관수한 $K_2SiO_3$와 $NaSiO_3$ 처리에서는 $Ca^+$와 $Mg^+$, 그리고 $K^+$와 $Ca^+$가 각각 낮았다. 최종적으로 저면관수 $CaSiO_3$ $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리한 칼랑코에의 잎에 Si가 가장 많이 축적되었고, 축적된 Si 함량의 영향으로 엽록소 함량이 증가되었다. 또한 대조구에 비해 규산염처리에서 초장과 같은 생장량이 감소되어 칼랑코에와 같은 소형 분화류의 품질을 향상시켰으나 각 규산염 처리구 사이에서의 생육에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is an important oil seed crop of Asia. Yields can be negatively impacted by various factors, including disease, particularly those caused by fungi which create problems in both production and storage. Foliar diseases of sesame such as Alternaria leaf blight may cause significant yield losses, with reductions in plant health and seed quality. The work reported here determined the incidence of Alternaria species infecting sesame seeds grown in the Punjab, Pakistan. A total of 428 Alternaria isolates were obtained from 105 seed samples and grouped into 36 distinct taxonomic groups based on growth pattern and morphological characters. Isolation frequency and relative density of surface sterilized and non-surface sterilized seeds showed that three isolates (A13, A47 and A215) were the most common morphological groups present. These isolates were further identified using sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and the Alternaria major allergen gene (Alt a 1). Whilst ITS of rDNA did not resolve the isolates into Alternaria species, the Alt a 1 sequences exhibited > 99% homology with Alternaria alternata (KP123850.1) in GenBank accessions. The pathogenicity and virulence of these isolates of Alternaria alternata was confirmed in inoculations of sesame plants resulting in typical symptoms of leaf blight disease. This work confirms the identity of a major source of sesame leaf blight in Pakistan which will aid in formulating effective disease management strategies.

Biological control activity of Acremonium strictum BCP, a mycoparasite on Botrytis cinerea, was examined against six plant diseases such as rice blast, rice sheath blight, cucumber gray mold, tomato late blight, wheat leaf rust, and barley powdery mildew in growth chambers. The spore suspension of strain BCP showed strong control activities against five plant diseases except against wheat leaf rust. On the other hand, the culture filtrate of A. strictum BCP was effective in controlling only cucumber gray mold and barley powdery mildew. Further in vivo biocontrol activities of A. strictum BCP against tomato gray mold were investigated under greenhouse conditions. Control efficacy of the fungus on tomato gray mold increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Treatment of more than $1{\times}10^6$ spores/ml significantly controlled the disease both in tomato seedlings and in adult plants. The high disease control activity was obtained from protective application of the strain BCP, whereas the curative application did not control the disease. Foliar infections of B. cinerea were controlled with $1{\times}10^8$ spores/ml of A. strictum BCP applied up to 7 days before inoculation. In a commercial greenhouse, application of A. strictum BCP exhibited the similar control efficacy with fungicide procymidone (recommended rate, $500{\mu}g/ml$) against strawberry gray mold. These results indicate that A. strictum BCP could be developed as a biofungicide for Botrytis diseases under greenhouse conditions.

Pigeonpea Sterility Mosaic Disease (PSMD) is an important foliar disease caused by Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus (PPSMV) which is transmitted by eriophyid mites (Aceria cajani Channabasavanna). In present study, a F2 mapping population comprising 325 individuals was developed by crossing PSMD susceptible genotype (Gullyal white) and PSMD resistant genotype (BSMR 736). We identified a set of 32 out of 300 short decamer random DNA markers that showed polymorphism between Gullyal white and BSMR 736 parents. Among them, eleven DNA markers showed polymorphism including coupling and repulsion phase type of polymorphism across the parents. Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA), revealed that the DNA marker, IABTPPN7, produced a single coupling phase marker (IABTPPN $7_{414}$) and a repulsion phase marker (IABTPPN $7_{983}$) co-segregating with PSMD reaction. Screening of 325 F2 population using IABTPPN7 revealed that the repulsion phase marker, IABTPPN $7_{983}$, was co-segregating with the PSMD responsive SV1 at a distance of 23.9 cM for Bidar PPSMV isolate. On the other hand, the coupling phase marker IABTPPN $7_{414}$ did not show any linkage with PSMD resistance. Additionally, single marker analysis both IABTPPN $7_{983}$ (P<0.0001) and IABTPPN $7_{414}$ (P<0.0001) recorded a significant association with the PSMD resistance and explained a phenotypic variance of 31 and 36% respectively in $F_2$ population. The repulsion phase marker, IABTPPN7983, could be of use in Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) in the PPSMV resistance breeding programmes of pigeonpea.

Yam anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (C.g) is the most devastating disease of yam (Dioscorea sp.). In the present study, we evaluated the culture filtrate extract (CFE) of azalomycin-producing Streptomyces malaysiensis strain MJM1968 for the control of yam anthracnose. MJM1968 showed strong antagonistic activity against C.g in vitro. Furthermore, the MJM1968 CFE was tested for inhibition of spore germination in C.g, where it completely inhibited spore germination at a concentration of 50 μg/ml. To assess the in planta efficacy of the CFE and spores of MJM1968 against C.g, a detached leaf bioassay was conducted, which showed both the treatments suppressed anthracnose development on detached yam leaves. Furthermore, a greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate the CFE from MJM1968 as a fungicide for the control of yam anthracnose. The CFE non-treated plants showed a disease severity of >92% after 90 days of artificial inoculation with C.g, whereas the disease severity of CFE-treated and benomyl-treated yam plants was reduced to 26% and 15%, respectively, after 90 days. Analysis of the yam tubers from the CFE-treated and non-treated groups showed that tubers from the CFE-treated plants were larger than that of non-treated plants, which produced abnormal smaller tubers typical of anthracnose. This study demonstrated the utility of the CFE from S. malaysiensis strain MJM1968 as a biofungicide for the control of yam anthracnose.

The present study describes the bacterial blight of walnut, caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis (Xaj) in the northern Gyeongbuk province, Korea. Disease symptoms that appear very similar to anthracnose symptoms were observed in walnut trees in June 2016. Pathogens were isolated from disease infected leaves, fruits, shoots, bud, flower bud of walnut, and cultured onto yeast dextrose carbonate agar plates. Isolated bacteria with bacterial blight symptoms were characterized for their nutrient utilization profiles using Biolog GN2 and Vitek 2. In addition, isolates were subjected to physiological, biochemical, and morphological characterizations. Furthermore, isolates were identified using 16S rDNA sequence analysis, and multi-locus sequence analysis using atpD, dnaK, efp, and rpoD. To confirm pathogenicity, leaves, fruits, and stems of 3-year-old walnut plants were inoculated with bacterial pathogen suspensions as a foliar spray. One week after inoculation, the gray spots on leaves and yellow halos around the spots were developed. Fruits and stems showed browning symptoms. The pathogen Xaj was re-isolated from all symptomatic tissues to fulfill Koch's postulates, while symptoms were not appeared on control plants. On the other hand, the symptoms were very similar to the symptoms of anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. When walnut plants were inoculated with combined pathogens of Xaj and C. gloeosporioides, disease symptoms were greater in comparison with when inoculated alone. Xaj population size was more in the month of April than March due to their dormancy in March, and sensitive to antibiotics such as oxytetracycline and streptomycin, while resistant to copper sulfate.
