During a field survey in 2014, a Rorippa palustris plant showing virus-like symptom was collected from a pepper field in Dangjin in Korea. The collected sample was subjected to examine infection with pepper-infecting viruses. Molecular diagnosis assay showed that the collected R. palustris sample was co-infected with Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). This is the first identification of PMMoV from R. palustris and the first report of CMV infection of R. palustris in Korea. To examine phylogenetic positions of the identified PMMoV and CMV isolates, their complete genome sequences of were determined and compared with those of previously reported isolates of the cognate viruses. Phylogenetic analyses revealed the isolates of PMMoV and CMV obtained from R. palustris are closely related to the pepper isolates of the cognate viruses. Our results suggest that R. palustris could act a weed reservoir of PMMoV and CMV.

Recently, there has been increased attention to the development of new plant cultivars with enhanced resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. To develop ginseng cultivars with such traits, systematic breeding programs and comprehensive field studies are prerequisites. In this study, we applied a pure-line selection method to identify a ginseng cultivar with enhanced stress resistance. Phenotypic and agronomic characteristics, seed yield, and physiological responses to biotic and abiotic stresses were investigated according to the guidelines of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). In the newly developed 'Kowon' cultivar, the time of emergence, flowering, and berry maturity were intermediate between those of the controls, 'Yunpoong' and 'Chunpoong'. The stem length of 'Kowon' was intermediate, whereas the root length was shorter and the main root diameter was greater than those of 'Chunpoong'. In local adaptability tests conducted in three regions, the yield of 'Kowon' was $666kg{\cdot}10a^{-1}$; 27% and 4% higher than that of 'Chunpoong' and 'Yunpoong'. Diseases such as Alternaria blight, Phytophthora blight, mulberry mealybug, and nematode infestation did not occur in 'Kowon'; and it also exhibited moderate resistance to damping-off and anthracnose. In these cases, yellow spots occurred on aerial parts and the rusty skin of the root, and it exhibited moderate resistance at high temperatures. Our study demonstrates that 'Kowon', which has a high root weight and enhanced biotic/abiotic stress resistance, is a superior cultivar that could increase farmers' income.

Field surveys to investigate the incidence and occurrence pattern of viruses in red pepper were conducted during 2015-2016 in Korea. A total of 424 samples in 2015 and 368 samples in 2016 were collected based on selection of plants showing symptoms from farmer's field from every June to September. Reverse transcription-Polymerase chain reaction was used to test all samples for the presence of one or more of following viruses: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2), Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Beet western yellows virus (BWYV), Pepper mottle virus (PepMoV), Potato virus Y (PVY) and Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV). The average disease incidence was 91.7% in 2015 and 98% in 2016 and the all seven viruses were found although there were different kinds of regions. The percent virus incidence in collected samples during 2015 was as follows: CMV, 73.8%; BBWV2, 68.3%; BWYV, 46.9%; PMMoV, 14.6%; TSWV, 12.7%; PepMoV, 6.6% and PVY, 3.3%. For 2016, incidence was as follows: CMV, 73.3%; BBWV2, 71.4%; BWYV, 34.7%; TSWV, 27.9%, PMMoV, 19.2%; PepMoV, 13.5% and PVY, 3.5%. Mixed infections were prevalent over single infections and infection rate was 83% and 86.7% in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Damages of medicinal crops by thrips and identification of thrips species were investigated by periodic surveys on major medicinal crops, Platycodon grandiflorum, Schizandra chinensis, Codonopsis lanceolata, Lycium chinense, Bupleurum falcatum, Ledebouriella seseloides, Angelica gigas, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Liriope platyphylla, Atractyloides sp., once or twice a month in Suwon, Eumseong, Jecheon, Pyeongchang, Chyungyang from May to October in 2012. Thrips and their damages were found at all of the medicinal crops investigated, mostly occurring at early growing stages of each medicinal crop and causing apical meristem region withered, thereby inhibiting the growth of plants. For species identification of thrips collected from each medicinal crops, DNA from each individual was extracted and ITS2 and COI regions were amplified by PCR. As a result, Frankliniella intonsa, Thrips tabaci, and Megalurothrips distalis have been identified as dominant species on medicinal crops in open field, whereas Frankliniella occidentalis was restricted to Lycium chinense in which protected cultivation. This study suggests that the occurrence of thrips species on medicinal crops seems to be affected by host specificity and environmental factors such as cultivation types.

While rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch) was identified as a host of at least five viruses, including Rehmannia mosaic virus (ReMV), Youcai mosaic virus (YoMV), Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2), Plantago asiatica mosaic virus (PlAMV), and Rehmannia virus 1 (ReV1), viral incidence surveys have not been performed yet in rehmannia fields in Korea. In this study, we performed field surveys during 2017-2018 to investigate the incidence of 5 major viruses in rehmannia. A total of 145 symptomatic samples were collected from the rehmannia fields in major cultivation areas of Korea. Molecular diagnosis assays showed that all the collected leaf samples were infected with more than two viruses. Particularly, two species of Tobamovirus, ReMV and YoMV, were detected in all the samples. In addition, our analysis showed that the root stocks of 4 rehmannia cultivars were infected with at least two viruses. Since rehmannia is propagated by vegetative propagation, it is highly important to produce virus-free root stocks of rehmannia to control virus diseases in rehmannia.

Among more than 30 viruses infecting strawberry, aphid-transmitted viruses including Strawberry mild yellow edge virus (SMYEV), Strawberry mottle virus (SMoV), Strawberry crinkle virus (SCV), and Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) have been considered as the most economically important viruses of strawberry in the world. To determine the incidence of these four viruses in major Korean strawberry cultivars, field surveys were conducted in major production areas during 2018-2019. In our surveys, SMYEV and SMoV were detected with low infection rates of 0.7% and 1.3%, respectively, whereas SCV and SVBV were not detected. No obvious symptoms were observed in the strawberry plants infected by SMYEV or SMoV. Since no sequences of SMoV Korean isolates have been reported, we initially determined nucleotide sequence of the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of seven SMoV isolates obtained during the surveys. The 3' UTR sequences (782 nt) of seven Korean isolates were phylogenetically compared with those of the previously reported SMoV isolates. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that most Korean isolates are closely related to Canadian isolates and only little evolutionary differentiation occurred among the Koreans isolates. This might be due to the low incidence of SMoV in strawberry in Korea.
