Six pathogenic Pythium isolates obtained from diseased ginger rhizomes were identified as Pythum myriotyrum Drechsler based on various morphological and physiological characteristics. The isolates showed strong virulence on underground parts of buds, crowns, rhizomes, roots and aerial parts of leaves and stems as well. The isolates caused rot of germinated seeds of 10 different crops tested, including cucumber and pepper, and markedly inhibited seedling growth of 3 crops tested, including corn and barley. Maximum, optimum and minimum growth temperatures for P. myriotylum were 39~45$^{\circ}C$, 33~37$^{\circ}C$ and 5~7$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Optimum pH for the growth was 6~7. Mycelial linear growth was most rapid on V-8 juice agar, but aerial mycelia were most abundant on PDA and corn meal agar. Zoosporangial and oogonial formation was greatest on V-8 juice agar. Optimum temperatures for the production of zoosporangia and oogonia were 20~35$^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

We immunized BALB/c mice with purified Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus isolate HY1 (CGMMV-HY1). Through the selection of positive clones that were grown on the HAT medium, four sensitive monoclonal clones (CG99-01, CG99-02, CG99-03, and CG99-04) were selected from 500 Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase positive hybridoma cells. Four sensitive clones of CGMMV-HYI were determined as IgM type of the subclass of mouse immunoglobulins Ig group. The titer of monoclonal antiserum against CGMMVHY1 was estimated 1:12,800 by the indirect ELISA. Although monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) from CG99-01 and from CG99-04 cross-reacted with Zucchini green mottle mosaic virus and Kyuri green mottle mosaic virus, MAb from the cell line CG99-03 was highly specific to CGMMV. No MAbs cross-reacted with Cucumber mosaic virus-Fny. Only CG99-04 reacted with Pepper mild mottle virus weakly and CG99-02 reacted with both CGMMV and KGMMV. CGMMV was detected from the rind of watermelon fruit by DAS-ELISA of CGMMV-HY1, but not from the flesh of watermelon. Average seed transmission rate of CGMMV in watermelon was $24\%$ from symptomatic watermelon collected from 5 regions of Gyeongnam province. CGMMV was detected by DAS-ELISA with specific MAb of CGMMVHY1 periodically from root stock, during the sequential process for nursery seedling in Haman. Necrotic spots on cotyledons of root stock seedling progressed to reveal the typical symptomatology on the primary leaves of scion upon grafting. Here, we have established MAb based ELISA system, which could accurately detect CGMMV from watermelon seeds, nursery seedlings, transplants and field samples from greenhouse or open out door field as well.

Upon germination, a conidium was septated in accordance with number of germ tubes. The percentages of ppressorial formation were not different between the resistant cultivars (Kumchang NO. 2 and Hongilpum) and the susceptible cultivars (Haneulcho and Saegochu). Appressorial form was various such as round, elliptic or star-shapped. The maximum number of appressoria was shown at 12 hours after inoculation. By 24 hours fter inoculation, hypersensitive tiny brown lesions were observed on the leaves and fruits of the resistant cultivars. Epidermal cells under cuticle layer of the resistant Kumchang NO. 2 fruit showed severe plasmolysis, while on the susceptible cultivars, the lession was largely extended to following incubation. Subcuticular infection hyphae were profusely colonized in the disintegrated tissues. Acervuli and setae on the stromatic structure ere formed at 96 hours. The infected seed coat was not only severely collapsed, but also infection hyphae were observed on the disintegrated seed coat, resulting severe plasmolysis of nucellus and embryo.

This study was undertaken to survey the usage of environment-friendly materials for 8 vegetable crops including cucumber, tomato, strawberry, eggplant hot pepper, lettuce, perilla leaves, and Welsh onion, cultivated under protected houses. Total of 78 environment-friendly growers in the Southern part of Korea were surveyed from 2003 to 2004. The number of materials used for a crop based on the effectiveness claimed by farmers was $21{\sim}87$ for pest control, $0{\sim}9$ for fertilizing, $2{\sim}41$ for growth promotion and $10{\sim}37$ for soil improvement. It is needed to clarify the ingredients and effectiveness of those environment-friendly materials reaching 323 items, on a science-basis in the future.

In order to establish a fully automatized pest control in the a greenhouse , the authors developed a prototype of microcomputer installed spraying vehicle which traveled along the furrows. Since a power sprayer mounted on the vehicle was driven by gasoline engine, plants grown in the greenhouse might be injured by the gas exhausted from the engine. Thus , effects of exhausted gas on photosynthetic rate and the shedding of flowers and buds of plants were examined. At first, effects of exhausted gas on photosynthetic rate of potted sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and eggplant(Solanum melongena L.) plants were examined. In a closed vinyl house the engine was operated for 5 minutes and plants were exposed to the gas for 2hours in the daytime on a fine day. Photosynthetic rate did not significantly decreased by the treatment in both species. Secondly, effects of ehtylene on the shedding of flowers and buds of sesame (Sesamum indicum L. ) were examined. In the closed and partiall opened vinyl house, the engine was operated for 5 minutes and potted sesame plants were exposed to the gas for 12 hours in the night. In partially opened vinyl house, ethylene concentration decreased to 0 ppm 3 hours after the engine was stopped and flower and bud did not shed. In contrast, when vinyl house was closed ethylene concentration was 0.75 pm even 12 hours after the engine was stopped and flowers and buds shed markedly and epinasty was observed in upper young leaves. As mentioned above , it was revealed that injury of plants in the greenhouse caused by the gas exhausted from a gasoline engine could be prevented by providing suitable ventilation.

Sixteen introductions of pepper (Capsicum annuum) were tested for drought resistance. Watering was stopped to the plants grown in perlite in pots to induce drought. After certain period of time, WSD value and stomatal density of mature leaves were measured for evaluation of drought resistance. A correlationship between WSD value and stomatal density was determined. On the basis of WSD value, the most drought-resistant varieties were No.3446, C. chacoence, Gogoshari, and Yatsufusa in a descending order and a significant positive correlation, r=0.581, between WSD value and stomatal density was observed.

Kudzu vine(Pueraria montana var. lobata) is an invasive climbing woody vine that envelops trees and shrubs, pressing physically and shutting out sunlight, which needs to be controlled. Kudzu vine pathogens were surveyed as a way to seek its biocontrol agents in 2002. Occurrence of a bacterial halo blight disease of kudzu vine was observed at several localities in Korea including Euiwang and Suwon in Gyeonggi Province, Daejon, and Gochang and Buan in Jeonbuk Province. Symptoms of brown to black spots with a surrounding yellowish halo appeared from June and lasted till the rainy season without much expansion, but accompanying often leaf blight and defoliation. Isolated bacteria were identified as Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola based on physiological and cultural characteristics, Biolog, fatty acid and 16S rDNA sequencing analyses. In artificial inoculation test, these bacteria produced the same halo spot symptoms on kudzu vine and bean plants. They also induced hypersensitive responses (HR) on tobacco, tomato, and chili pepper leaves. This is the first report of a bacterial disease of kudzu vine in Korea, and the bacterial pathogen can be used as a biocontrol agent against the pest plant.

The symptom of anthracnose of chinese matrimony vine (Lycium chinense Mill) was darkbrown to black, water­soaked lesions with acervuli on fruits. Field survey revealed that the incidence rate of anthracnose ranged from $0.8\%\;to\;23\%$. to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz and C. dematium(Fr.) Grove were identified as the causal organisms of the disease. C. gloeosporioides and C. dematium produced severe symptoms on fruits resulting in complete necrosis, but produced no or mild symptoms on leaves and stems of chinese matrimony vine. Of three isolates of C. dematium, isolate I and isolate III caused severe infection on immature fruits and isolate I was the most pathogenic on mature fruits of the plant. Isolates II of C. dematium caused relatively severe lesions on pepper fruit, but C. gloeosporioides was pathogenic on apple fruit.

The full-length cDNA of LebZIP2 (Lycopersicon esculentum bZIP2) encodes a protein of 164 amino acids and contains a N-terminal basic-region leucine zipper domain. Analysis of the deduced tomato LebZIP2 amino acid sequence revealed that it shares 85% sequence identity with both tobacco bZIP and pepper CcbZIP. LebZIP2 mRNA is expressed at a high level exclusively in flowers. Presently, LebZIP2 was strongly increased also following NaCl and mannitol treatments. No significant LebZIP2 expression was evident following cold treatment. Transient LebZIP2 overexpression resulted in increased NbNOA1 and NbNR transcript levels in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Our results indicate that LebZIP2 might play roles as an abiotic stress-signaling pathway and as a transcriptional regulator of the NbNOA1 or NbNR genes.
