This report described a simple, inexpensive, faster, and effective graft inoculation method for the artificial transmission of Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV). Success of grafting and disease transmission was 100％ in this method. Screening of mungbean germplasm using this method will prevent the chance of escape infection, probably as a consequence of non-preference mechanism and loss of vector infectivity. The grafting method described here is applicable to both screenhouse and field trials.

Watermelon plants grafted with the root-stock of wild-cucumber (Sicyos angulatus) were not infected by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum in pot inoculation and infected fields tests. Controlling efficacy of the root-stock grafting with S. angulatus on Fusarium wilt of watermelon was more excellent than that of the root-stock grafting with Lagenaria siceraria. The isolates of Fusarium oxysprum from cucurbitaceae plants had a certain host-specific pathogenicity, but they did not express the absolute one forma specialis-one host-plant phenomenon by the root dipping inoculation. The pathogenic isolates of Fusarium oxysproum from cucurbitaceae crops did not infect the root-stock plant such as S. angulatus, L. siceraria and Cucurbita ficifolia. The fast-wilting of watermelon caused by uncertain agents was observed in watermelon plant grafted with L. siceraria in the continuously cropping fields, but it was not observed in watermelon plants grafted with S. angulatus in the same fields.

Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV), a member of the genus Crinivirus, has caused an epidemic disease in tomato worldwide. ToCV is phloem-limited and transmitted by whiteflies in a semi-persistent manner, but not by mechanical inoculation. Experimental propagation of ToCV has been performed primarily by using whitefly-mediated inoculation. To develop a simple and convenient method for transmission of ToCV, we investigated grafting single-leaflets from tomato plants infected with ToCV to recipient tomato seedlings. Forty-one of 46 tomato seedlings tested were grafted successfully with single-leaflets infected with ToCV. Among them, 36 seedlings (87.8%) were systemically infected with ToCV and developed typical symptoms. Our results demonstrated that single-leaflet grafting could provide a sufficient amount of inoculum for the transmission of ToCV to the grafted seedlings.

Four newly developed cotton mutants (M-111, M-7662, M-358 and M-218) were compared for their resistance against Cotton leaf curl virus(CLCuV) together with commercial resistant (CIM-443, CIM-482, CIM-473, FH-900 and FH-901) and susceptible (5-12) varieties by artificial inoculation through grafting and under natural field conditions. Infectivity and success of grafting were 100% in all cases. None of the grafted plants were found immune or asymptomatic. All the grafted mutants and most of their single plant progeny rows (SPPRs) showed highly resistant responses as the symptoms displayed by these mutants were milder than the commercial cultivars. Grafted mutants also had delayed disease reactions as they took more time (25-30 days) to produce disease symptoms, as compared with resistant commercial varieties that produced disease 18-22 days after inoculation. Growth of the grafted SPPRs of tested mutants was normal, which is an indication that there will be no production losses. Observations under natural infestation of whitefly showed that two SPPRs of M-ll/CE and M-7662-1/2 and one resistant variety CIM-443 exhibited slight incidence of disease, while one SPPR of M-l1/59 and S-12 were moderately susceptible and highly susceptible with 21％ and 97.l％ disease incidence, respectively. This study also showed that plants displaying more disease symptoms through grafting were easily infected under natural conditions. These results suggest that preference should be given to those plants that exhibited highly resistant responses after artificial inoculation.

Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) belongs to Capillovirus and infects pome fruits. Transmission mode of ASGV is known by grafting and mechanical inoculation into susceptible hosts, not by any other natural vectors. But we have observed the spread of ASGV in the field without mechanical inoculation or grafting. Transmission seems to be occurred from tree-to-tree and tree-to-susceptible herbaceous plants along but not across ditches in the field. In order to ascertain this possibility, various fungi were isolated and cultured from ASGV-infected plants and 69 isolates were characterized. By means of RNA dot-blot hybridization and PCR analysis, 3 isolates were sorted out for further studies. The isolates were identified to Tataromyces sp. and belonged to Phenicillium by morphological characteristics and molecular markers. As an experimental host, 10 kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) were screened and Kyunggi-5 was selected for virus amplification and symptom development. Kyunggj-5 infected by fungi which seemed to carry ASGV showed the typical disease symptoms and viral coat protein genes were detected from all tested plants. To confirm the Koch's rule, fungi cultured from inoculation origins of kidney bean were grown on PDA media and re-inoculated to hosts. The fungi isolated from inoculation origins induced the typical disease symptoms on hosts. However virus free fungi did not induce any symptom on the experimental hosts. This bioassay showed that these typical symptoms were caused by virus, not fungi.

Control effect of grafting with rootstocks on Phythophthora blight of pepper was evaluated. The 40∼45 day old seedlings of five pepper cultivars, Wangdaeback, Jinmi, Boosa, Samsungcho and Pochunngchun, as a scion were grafted with ten species of root stocks. There wasn't graft incompatibility in all scion-root stock combinations. After 21 days from inoculation with Phytopkhora capsici, incidence of Phythophthora blight of plant grafted with Kataguruma, R-Safe, R-16, YCM 334 and SCM 334 of rootstocks tested was decreased by 64.6∼100％ compared to non-grafted plant whose disease severity was 3.7. However, plant grafted with Umsung native and Yeongdong native pepper was more sensitive to Phythophthora blight than non-grafed plant. Control effect by grafting was inversely proportional to virulence of inoculum and not significantly different among scion cultivars used. And resistant reaction of scion against Phytophthora blight was not affect that of scion-root stock plant in this study.

Periwinkle seedlings (Cantharanthus roseus) were inoculated with jujube witches'- broom (JWB) phytoplasma via grafting to analyze the migration of JWB phytoplasmas within the host plant. The phytoplasmas were detected using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence microscopy. Fluorescence microscopy was a simple and easy method of detecting phytoplasmas; however, it was not sufficiently sensitive to detect very low phytoplasma concentrations. Therefore, the migration of JWB phytoplasma was investigated through PCR. The first migration of JWB phytoplasma from an infected tissue to healthy tissues occurred late. After grafting, the phytoplasmas moved from the inoculated twig (or scion) to the main stem, which took 28 days. Afterward, the phytoplasma migrated faster and took less than 4 days to spread into the roots from the main stem. All twigs were then successively colonized by the JWB phytoplasmas from the bottom to the top. JWB phytoplasma was detected via nested PCR in all parts of the periwinkle seedling 82 days after inoculation. Based on these results, the inoculated JWB phytoplasma appeared to migrate downward to the roots along the main stem during the early stages, and then continued to move upward, colonizing twigs along the way until they reached the apex.

Apple scar skin, one of the most destructive diseases affecting apple, is caused by Apple scar skin viroid (ASSV d). Fruit dappling appeared on several cultivars in Korea and has been distributed to major cultivated areas since 2001. ASSVd was identified from infected fruits by using nucleic acid sequence-based amplification with electrochemiluminescence (NASBA-ECL). NASBA-ECL method was faster and hundredfold more sensitive than reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for ASSVd detection in apple leaves/ stems. ASSVd was rapidly transmitted to the entire tree in the second year after artificial inoculation. The ASSVd could be transmitted efficiently by using contaminated pruning scissors to both lignified stems (60 to $70\%$) and green shoots (20 to $40\%$) of apple tree and young plants. Dipping of contaminated scissors in $2\%$ sodium hypochlorite solution effectively prevented viroid transmission. In the ASSV d-infected fruits, the viroid was easily detected from fruit skin, seed coat, and embryo. Moreover, embryo and endosperm separately excised from the ASSVd-infected seeds were ASSVd positive in NASBA-ECL assay. Seedlings germinated from ASSVd-positive seeds showed $7.7\%$ infection rate., which indicated that ASSVd is seed-borne.

Bt-cotton germplasm, consisting of 75 genotypes was evaluated against cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) under high inoculum pressure in the field and using graft inoculation in glasshouse by visual symptom scoring assessments. None of the tested genotype was found disease free under both evaluation tests. Under field conditions in 2011, 3 genotypes were found resistant, 4 moderately resistant, 3 tolerant, 2 moderately susceptible and one susceptible; in 2012, 3 genotypes were tolerant, 7 moderately susceptible, 5 susceptible and 38 highly susceptible; in 2013, one was moderately susceptible and 51 were highly susceptible with varying degree of percent disease index (PDI) and severity index (SI). However, through graft evaluation in glasshouse, none of the graft inoculated plant was symptomless. All tested genotypes showed disease symptoms with SI values ranging between 5.0 and 6.0, and latent period between 12 and 14 days. Of the 75 genotypes evaluated using graft inoculation, 11 were found susceptible with SI values of 5.0 to 5.4 while remaining 64 were highly susceptible with SI values of 5.5 to 6.0. Inoculated plants of all tested genotypes exhibited severe disease symptoms within 10 days after the appearance of initial symptoms. No reduction in SI value was observed until the end of the experiment i.e., 90 days after grafting. Information generated under the present study clearly demonstrates that no sources of resistance to CLCuD are available among the tested Bt-cotton genotypes. So, a breeding programme is needed to introgress the CLCuD-resistance from other resistant sources to agronomically suitable Bt-cotton genotypes.

한국 전역에 널리 발생하는 아까시나무의 모자이크병에 대해서, 그 병징을 관찰 기재하고 접목전염시험을 하였다. 본병은 전형적인 mosaic의 양상을 이루며, 접목에 의하여 용역하게 전염되는 것으로 미루어 일종의 virus병으로 생각된다. 접목전염시험에 있어서는 건묘에 병수를, 또는 병근에 건수를 접함으로써, 공히 용역하게 전염시킬 수 있었다. 건묘에 병수를 접한 것에서는, 접하고 일정기간 경과 후 (10-30일) 접수(병)를 박리한 것이, 박리않고 그대로 방치한 것에 비하여 훨씬 감염발병이 양호하였으며, 대목과 접수가 접착한 10-30일간에 있어서의 접착기간의 장단에 따르는 감염율의 증감은 인정할 수 없었다. 그리고 대목과 접수(병)의 유착이 안되었을 경우에도 전염이 되었다. 목병은 그 병징, 접목에 의한 전염, 그리고 즙액전염의 가능(미발표) 등으로 미루어 Atanasoff(1935), 그리고 Milinko등(1961)이 보고한 동남유럽에 분포하는 아까시나무 mosaic disease와 근연의 것이 아닌가 생각된다. 한편 김명오 등(1961)은 한국에 아까시나무 witches broom이 발생하는 것으로 기록했는데, 이는 본 모자이크병을 가리킴이 아닌가 생각된다.
