Crude extract of Xanthium strumarium inhibited mycelial growth and zoospore germination of Phytophthora drechsleri, the causal agent of Atractylis rot, in vitro. Fresh sap from X. strumarium at 50-fold dilution was highly effective in controlling the disease Incidence in pot and field trials. Purified extracts from cocklebur Inhibited mycelial growth and zoospore germination in vitro at a concentration of 12.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and 15.6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, respectively. Hyphal tips affected by the compound showed malformation. The antifungal compound puri- fied fromX. strumarium was identified as 4-oxo-1 (5), 2,11, (13)-xanthatriene-12,8-olide, known as "deacetyl xanthumin".min".uot;.

Bud6p is a component of a polarisome that controls cell polarity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we investigated the role of the Candide albicans Bud6 protein (CaBud6p) in cell polarity and hyphal development. CaBud6p, which consists of 703 amino acids, had 37% amino-acid sequence identity with the Bud6 protein of S. cerevisiae. The homozygous knock-out of CaBUD6 resulted in several abnormal phenotypes, such as a round and enlarged cells, widened bud necks, and a random budding pattern. In hypha-inducing media, the mutant cells had markedly swollen tips and a reduced ability to switch from yeast to hypha. In addition, a yeast two-Hybrid analysis showed a physical interaction between CaBud6p and CaAct1p, which suggests that CaBud6p may be involved in actin cable organization, like Bud6p in S. cerevisiae. Taken together, these results indicate that CaBud6 plays an important role in the polarized growth of C. albicans.

OSH3 is one of the seven yeast homologues of the oxysterol binding proteins (OSBPs) which have the major binding affinity to the oxysterols and function as regulator of cholesterol biosynthesis in mammals. Mutational analysis of OSH3 showed that OSH3 plays a regulatory role in the yeast-to-hyphal transition through its oxysterol-binding domain in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The OSH3 gene was also identified in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. Deletion of OSH3 caused a defect in the filamentous growth, which is the major cause of the C. albicans pathogencity. The filamentation defect of the mutation in the MAPK-associated transcription factor, namely $cph1{\Delta}$ was suppressed by overexpression of OSH3. These findings suggest the regulatory roles of OSH3 in the yeast filamentous growth and the functional conservations of OSH3 in S. cerevisiae and C. albicans.

Stems and pods of hyacinth bean cultivated in a farmer's field in Gazipur District, Bangladesh, were found rotted in nearly 5% hyacinth bean plants. A fungus having fluffy mycelium and large sclerotia was isolated from affected tissues. Combined results of morphological, molecular and pathological analyses identified the fungus as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib) de Bary. Inoculating the fungus on healthy hyacinth bean plants and pods reproduced the symptoms previously observed in the field. The three isolates obtained from naturally infected plants were cross inoculated in hyacinth bean, okra and African-American marigold and they were pathogenic to these hosts. The optimum temperature and pH for its growth were $20^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0, respectively. Sclerotial development was favored at pH 5.0. Sucrose and mannitol were the best carbon sources to support hyphal growth, while glucose was the most favourable for sclerotial development. The hyacinth bean genotypes, HB-82 (Rupban Sheem) and HB-102 were found highly resistant, while HB-94 (Ashina) was moderate resistant to the fungus. Finally, S. sclerotiorum was sensitive to Bavistin, Dithane M-45 and Rovral fungicides and Ca in the form of $CaCl_2$. This observation could possibly aid in eliminating field loss in hyacinth bean caused by an emerging pathogenic fungus S. sclerotiorum.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi(AMF) is widespread symbiont forming mutualistic relationship with plant root in terrestrial forest in ecosystem. They provide improved absorption of nutrient and water, and enhance the resistance against plant pathogen or polluted soil, therefore AM fungi are important for survival and maintaining of individual or community of plant. For last decade, many studies about the functional variation of AM fungi on host plant growth response were showed that different geographic isolates, even same species, have different effect on host plant. However, little was known about functional variation of AM fungal isolates originated single population, which provide important insight about intraspecific diversity of AMF and their role in forest ecosystem. In this study, four AM fungal isolates of Rhizophagus clarus were cultured in vitro using transformed carrot (Daucus carota) root and they showed the difference between isolates in ontogenic characteristics such as spore density and hyphal length. The plant growth response by mycorrhizas were measured also. After 20 weeks from inoculation of these isolates to host plants, dry weight, Root:Shoot ratio, colonization rates and N, P concentration of host plant showed host plant was affected differently by AM fungal isolates. This results suggest that AM fungi have high diversity in their functionality in intraspecific level, even in same population.

Tomato black leaf molds were collected from the six metropolitan cities, which were occurred mainly from the end of August until November. There was no significant difference on the fungal growth between potato dextrose agar and tomato-oatmeal agar media. The mycelial growth of the fungus was robust at a relatively high temperature, from 28 to $30^{\circ}C$. The suppression rates of hyphal growth ranged from 17-98% on the media supplemented with four different chemicals such as difenoconazole, fluquinconazole and prochloraz manganese complex, metconazole, and flutianil and there is no different suppression rates of the fungicides on the tested Pseudocercospora fuligena isolates.

새로운 페니실린 발효방법으로서, Penicillin chrysogenum의 포자를 담체의 미세구멍 조직에 흡착시킨 후 배양하여 얻은 균사증식담체를 이용하여 페니실린 발효를 시도하였다. 고정화 담체로써는 Celite가 가장 효율적이었으며, 이때 균사는 담체의 내부에서부터 포자가 발아하여 담체의 표면에서 증식하기 때문에 매우 안정된 biofilm growth를 얻을 수 있었다. 프라스크 배양에서 담체의 양을 5-10% 첨가하였을 때 세포의 증식과 페니실린의 생산이 전통적인 dispersed filamentous growth 에 의한 발효방법보다 현저히 증가되었다. 그러나 두 경우 모두 세포의 활성은 1900 unit/mg-cellㆍhr로 일정하였다. 균사증식 담체를 이용하여 유동층 발효조에서 반연속식으로 발효를 진행시킨 결과 페니실린의 연속생산이 가능함을 발견하였다. 그러나 발효조내에서 biofilm growth시 film두께의 조절과 페니실린 생산성을 일정수준으로 오랫동안 유지시킬 수 있는 방법이 앞으로 연구되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

본 시험은 오이 양액재배시 배양액내 규산칼륨($K_{2}SiO_{3}$) 처리에 의한 생육단계별 규소의 흡수특성, 체내분표 병원균의 침입억제 효과를 검토하기 위하여 수행하였다. 잎에서의 규소 분포는 TEM, SEM 및 EDX-ray를 사용하여 4개(SEM, Ca, Si, K)의 구성원소를 각각 측정하였다. 흡수된 규소는 잎으로 이동하여 모용(毛茸, trichome, hair)을 둘러싸고 있는 기부 세포에 축적되었다. 모용에서의 규소는 고농도의 칼슘 및 칼륨과 혼재하여 분포하였고, 저농도 처리시에는 모용기부를 제외한 표피세포에서는 감지 할 수 없는 수준으로 분포하였다. 잎에서의 규소 축적은 처리 후 24시간에서 48시간 사이에 세포벽 주위에 가장 많이 축적되었고, 그 이후에도 다소 증가하는 경향이었다. 처리된 규소는 발아하고 있는 흰가루병 분생포자의 인접 조직의 세포벽과 병원균 흡기 주변에 다량 축적되어 물리적인 장벽으로 작용하였다. 고농도의 규산 처리된 잎 병반상의 발아관 길이는 낮은 농도의 처리구와 비교하여 현저히 짧았으며, 규산 처리농도와 부의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 배양액내 처리된 규산 농도는 오이가 생장함에 따라 감소하여 뿌리를 통하여 작물체내로 흡수되었으며, 저농도 처리구(0.85 mM이하)에서는 흡수되는 양이 현저히 적었다.

Like many fungal pathogens, the conidium and appressorium play key roles during polycyclic dissemination and infection of Magnaporthe oryzae. Ran-binding protein microtubule-organizing center (RanBPM) is a highly conserved nucleocytoplasmic protein. In animalia, RanBPM has been implicated in apoptosis, cell morphology, and transcription. However, the functional roles of RanBPM, encoded by MGG_00753 (named MoRBP9) in M. oryzae, have not been elucidated. Here, the deletion mutant ΔMorbp9 for MoRBP9 was generated via homologous recombination to investigate the functions of this gene. The ΔMorbp9 exhibited normal conidial germination and vegetative growth but dramatically reduced conidiation compared with the wild type, suggesting that MoRBP9 is involved in conidial production. ΔMorbp9 conidia failed to produce appressoria on hydrophobic surfaces, whereas ΔMorbp9 still developed aberrantly shaped appressorium-like structures at hyphal tips on the same surface, suggesting that MoRBP9 is involved in the morphology of appressorium-like structures from hyphal tips and is critical for development of appressorium from germ tubes. Taken together, our results indicated that MoRBP9 played a pleiotropic role in polycyclic dissemination and infection-related morphogenesis of M. oryzae.
