Roles of nutrients in controlling plant diseases have been documented for a long time. Among the nutrients having impact on susceptibility/resistance to crop diseases, nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth and development. In rice plants, excess nitrogen via fertilization in agricultural systems is known to increase susceptibility to the rice blast disease. Mechanisms underlying such phenomenon, despite its implication in yield and sustainable agriculture, have not been fully elucidated yet. A few research efforts attempted to link nitrogen-induced susceptibility to concomitant changes in rice plant and rice blast fungus in response to excess nitrogen. However, recent studies focusing on phytobiome are offering new insights into effects of nitrogen on interaction between plants and pathogens. In this review, I will first briefly describe importance of nitrogen as a key nutrient for plants and what changes excess nitrogen can bring about in rice and the fungal pathogen. Next, I will highlight some of the recent phytobiome studies relevant to nitrogen utilization and immunity of plants. Finally, I propose the hypothesis that changes in phytobiome upon excessive nitrogen fertilization contribute to nitrogen-induced susceptibility, and discuss empirical evidences that are needed to support the hypothesis.

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an economically important vegetable crop worldwide. However, various fungal diseases, including Fusarium basal rot (FBR), neck rot, and white rot, reduce onion production or bulb storage life. FBR caused by Fusarium species is among the most destructive onion diseases. In this study, we identified Fusarium species associated with FBR in Jeolla and Gyeongsang Provinces in South Korea and evaluated fungicides against the pathogens. Our morphological and molecular analyses showed that FBR in onions is associated with Fusarium commune, Fusarium oxysporum, and Fusarium proliferatum. We selected seven fungicides (fludioxonil, hexaconazole, mandestrobin, penthiopyrad, prochloraz-manganese, pydiflumetofen, and tebuconazole) and evaluated their inhibitory effects on mycelial growth of the pathogens at three different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg/mL). We found that prochloraz-manganese was highly effective, inhibiting 100% of the mycelial growth of the pathogens at all concentrations, followed by tebuconazole. Fludioxonil showed < 50% inhibition at 1 mg/mL for the tested isolates.

본 연구는 소면적 재배작물인 산마늘을 대상으로 tebuconazole 및 fludioxonil의 잔류특성을 조사하여 잔류허용기준(MRL) 및 안전사용기준 설정을 위한 자료로 활용하고자 수행하였다. Tebuconazole 20% 액상수화제 및 fludioxonil 20% 액상수화제 농약을 기준량과 배량의 농도로 토양관주처리한 후, 15, 30, 45일차에 시료를 채취하여 분석하였다. 두 약제 모두 dichloromethane을 이용하여 분배하였으며, SPE-Silica cartridge와 SPE-$NH_2$ cartridge를 사용하여 정제한 후, GC/NPD를 이용하여 분석하였다. Tebuconazole과 fludioxonil의 회수율은 각각 108.8~119.5%, 91.3~104.8%였으며, 이 때의 분석검출한계는 모두 $0.01mg\;kg^{-1}$이었다. 산마늘 중 tebuconazole의 잔류량은 <$0.01{\sim}0.12mg\;kg^{-1}$이었으며, fludioxonil의 경우 $0.01{\sim}0.09mg\;kg^{-1}$이었다. 두 약제의 잔류량으로부터 산출한 ADI 대비 식이섭취율(% ADI)은 각각 17.44%, 25.75%로 산마늘 중 tebuconazole 및 fludioxonil에 대한 ADI 대비 식이섭취율(% ADI)은 80%를 초과하지 않으며, 식이를 통한 두 약제의 노출 위험도는 안전한 수준인 것으로 판단된다. 이에 따라 tebuconazole 20% 액상수화제 및 fludioxonil 20% 액상수화제는 산마늘의 병해를 방제하는데 활용할 수 있으며, 잔류농약 문제를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

잔디는 공익적 기능, 오락 및 휴양 그리고 미적인 측면에서 인간에게 다양한 이점을 제공한다. 잔디병해는 골프장, 운동장, 공원, 잔디재배지 등에 피해를 일으키는 주요 원인이며 이를 방제하기 위하여 막대한 비용이 소요된다. 한국의 잔디병해 연구는 아직 다른 분야에 비하여 관심이 낮은 편이지만 잔디병해에 대한 연구의 필요성은 매우 높다고 본다. 본 연구에서는 지금까지 우리나라에서 이루어진 잔디병 관련 연구 결과들을 분석하고, 국내 잔디병 연구사를 정리하여 앞으로의 잔디병리 분야의 발전방향을 고찰하고자 한다. 연구논문은 국내학술지와 한국교육학술정보원에서 제공하는 논문탐색 시스템을 이용하여 잔디병과 관련된 논문을 수집, 분석하였다. 국내 잔디병과 관련된 논문은 약 80여 편이 한국잔디학회지에 게재되어 전체 논문의 50%를 차지하였다. 이 중 잔디병 방제에 대한 논문이 전체논문 대비 50%를 차지하였다. 잔디병해 별로는 라이족토니아마름병(large patch)에 대한 연구가 36%로 가장 많았으며 다음으로 동전마름병(dollar spot) 18%, 피티움마름병(Pythium blight) 10%, 설부병(Typhular blight) 8% 순으로 나타났다. 국내에서 처음으로 보고된 잔디병은 15종류이다. 잔디병 방제를 위하여 국내에 등록된 약제의 수는 542개로 갈색잎마름병, 녹병, 누른잎마름병, 동전마름병, 라이족토니아마름병, 설부소립균핵병, 여름잎마름병, 탄저병, 피티움마름병, 흰가루병과 조류에 등록되어 있다. 향후 우리나라에서 미보고된 잔디병해의 학문적 탐색과 병명의 정립이 필요하고, 효과적인 병방제를 위하여 잔디병에 대한 생리, 생태학적인 연구와 더불어 친환경적 방제 방법의 개발이 필요할 것으로 본다.

In order to protect fungal diseases, leaf disc explants of Solanum tuberosum cultivar, Belchip, was infected with an Agrobacterium MP90 strain containing chimeric gene construct, consisting of antibiotic resistance and chitinase gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter, for transformation. Regenerated multiple shoots were selected on a medium containing kanamycin and carbenicillin after exposure to Agrobacterium. The presence and integration of the npt II and chitinase gene were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Northern blot analysis indicated that the genes coding for the enzyme could be expressed in potato plants. The chitinase activity of transgenic potato plants was higher than the control potato.

The root of Hibiscus syriacus (Malvaceae) has been used for treatment of fungal diseases such as tinea pedis (athlete's foot). In this study, we investigated the antifungal constituent of the root of Hibiscus syriacus Ggoma, which was produced by a mutation breeding using gamma ray irradiation, and compared the antifungal activity of H. syriacus Ggoma and its parent type. According to the results, the methanolic extract of H. syriacus Ggoma exhibited four times higher antifungal activity than its parent type against Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Following purification through various column chromatographies, the antifungal substance was identified as nonanoic acid on the basis of spectroscopic analysis.

Invasive Candida infections (ICI) have become the third most common cause of late-onset infection among premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Risk factors include birth weight less than 1,000 g, exposure to more than two antimicrobials, third generation cephalosporin exposure, parenteral nutrition including lipid emulsion, central venous catheter, and abdominal surgery. Candida colonization of the skin and gastrointestinal tract is an important first step in the pathogenesis of invasive disease. Strict infection control measures against the infection should be done in the NICU. The following practices are likely to contribute to reducing the rate of ICI: (1) restriction of broad-spectrum antibiotics, antacids and steroid; (2) introduction of early feeding and promoting breast milk. Fluconazole prophylaxis may be an effective control measure to prevent Candida colonization and infections in individual units with high incidence of fungal infection. In addition, there is a need of further data including the development of resistant strains and the effect on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants exposed to drugs before the initiation of routine application of antifungal prophylaxis in the NICU.

Dimethomorph is a novel fungicide with a high level of activity against diseases induced by certain Oomycetes, including fungal populations that are resistant to other products. In several ways, this fungicide illustrates the opportunities and challenges presented by many modern pesticides. The specific mode of action, which affects cell wall formation, is associated with a very high level of performance and low dose rates under field conditions. These low dose rates, combined with a low level of toxicity to non-target organisms present an outstanding safety profile. This same highly-specific mode of action, however, limits the spectrum of activity and suggests the need for a resistance management plan, both of which must be addressed in new product development. In addition, the biological and physiochemical properties of this, and other new products are not adequately described by the traditional classification of fungicides into“protectant”and“systemic”types. These unique profiles provide novel and useful products for disease control.

The succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) is a class of fungicides, which is widely and rapidly used to manage fungal pathogens in the agriculture field. Currently, fungicide resistance to SDHIs has been developed in many different plant pathogenic fungi, causing diseases on crops, fruits, vegetables, and turf. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of fungicide resistance is important for effective prevention and resistance management strategies. Two different mechanisms have currently been known in SDHI resistance. The SDHI target genes, SdhB, SdhC, and SdhD, mutation(s) confer resistance to SDHIs. In addition, overexpression of ABC transporters is involved in reduced sensitivity to SDHI fungicides. In this review, the current status of SDHI resistance mechanisms in phytopathogenic fungi is discussed.
