Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating diseases in major Solanaceae crops. The pathogen is easily disseminated and survives for many years in plant farming system. Although chemicals are applied to control the disease, they are of limited efficacy and cause several problems. Therefore, the use of phage therapy has been suggested to control the disease as a biological agent. In this study, we discovered bacteriophages lysing diverse Ralstonia isolates from plant and soil samples obtained from the potato cultivated field in Jeju. Three times repeated pickings of plaques resulted in obtaining 173 single phages showing diverse spectrum of host-specificity. With the results, 12 core phages were selected and dendrogram was generated. Genetic diversity of the selected phages was also confirmed by AFLP (Amplified Fragment of Length Polymorphism) fingerprinting. The stability of the phages was investigated in various temperatures and various conditions of pH in vitro. The phages were stable at $16^{\circ}C-44^{\circ}C$ and pH 6-10. Morphological characterization of the phages revealed they were all classified into the Podoviridae, but had diverse head sizes. The results of this research will contribute to control the disease and further researches regarding genetic and molecular aspects will facilitate understanding phage and bacteria interaction.

Twenty-nine P. polymyxa strains isolated from rhizospheres of various crops were clustered into five genotypic groups on the basis of BOX-PCR analysis. The characteristics of several plant growth-promoting factors among the isolates revealed the distinct attributes in each allocated group. Under gnotobiotic conditions, inoculation of pepper roots with P. polymyxa isolates significantly increased the biomass in 17 of total 29 treated plants with untreated plants. Experiments on induced systemic resistance (ISR) against bacterial spot pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria in pepper by P. polymyxa strains were conducted and only one isolate (KNUC265) was selected. Further studies into ISR mediation by the KNUC265 strain against the soft-rot pathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora in tobacco demonstrated that the tobacco seedlings exposed to either bacterial volatiles or diffusible metabolites exhibited a reduction in disease severity. In conclusion, ISR and plant growth promotion triggered by P. polymyxa isolates were systemically investigated on pepper for the first time. The P. polymyxa KNUC265 strain, which elicited both ISR and plant growth promotion, could be potentially used in improving the yield of pepper and possibly of other crops.

Several plant and microbial genes that could confer disease resistance in transgenic rice plants are being cloned and characterized. We are currently constructing transgenic rice lines that overexpress the gene products, such as a galactinol synthase, a defensin, and a bacterial ACC deaminase. Subtractive hybridization of a rice cDNA library constructed from the Xanthomonas oryzae-infected ice leaves resulted in isolation of many inducible cDNA clones including a elongation factor EF2, a oryzain alpha, a catalase, a aldehyde dehydrogenase, a S-adenosylmethionine synthetase, a caffeic acid O-methyltransferase, a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, a light-regulated protein, nKY transcription factors, and a nucleotide diphosphate kinase. Some genes among those may be useful genetic sources for construction of disease resistant transgenic rice. Full lengths of the rice OsFIERG and a rice oryzain genomic clones were cloned, and serial deletion fragments of the promoter regions of these genes were fused with GUS reporter gene in pCAMBIA1201, respectively. Promoter activities of these constructs will be examined upon various stresses and Pathogen infections to obtain the pathogen specific inducible-promoter. This work was supported by a grant from BioGreen 21 Program, Rural Development Administration, Republic of Korea.

국내에서 분리된 키위 궤양병 원인균인 Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae 균주들에서 스트렙토마이신 저항성 균주가 확인되었다. 2008년부터 2017년 사이에 키위 궤양병이 발병한 111개 과수원에서 분리된 734개 균주의 스트렙토마이신 저항성을 조사하였다. 각 균주의 생존 여부는 100 ㎍/ml의 스트렙토마이신 배지에서 검정하였다. 734개 균주들 중에서 9개 과수원에서 분리된 총 38개 P. syringae pv. actinidiae 균주가 저항성을 나타내었다. Biovar 2에 속하는 저항성 균주들의 경우 몇 개의 특정년도에 발견된 반면, biovar 3에 속하는 저항성 균주들은 2016년 이후에만 발견되었다. 따라서, 키위 궤양병 방제용으로 스트렙토마이신 사용 시 주의해야 하며, 만일 사용하려면 사용 전에 항생제 감수성 테스트가 필요하다.

During initial interactions of bacteria with their host plants, most plants recognize the bacterial infections and repel the pathogen by plant defense mechanism. The most active plant defense mechanism is the hypersensitive response (HR) which is the localized induced cell death in the plant at the site of infection by a pathogen. A primary locus induced in gram-negative phytopathogenic bacteria during this initial interaction is the Hrp locus. The Hrp locus is composed of a cluster of genes that encodes the bacteral Type 111 machinery that is involved in the secretion and translocation of effector proteins to the plant cell. DNA sequence analysis of hrp gene in phytopathogenic bacteria has revealed a Hrp pathogenicity is]and (PAI) with a tripartite mosaic structure. For many gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, colonization of the host's tissue depends on the type III protein secretion system (TTSS) which secrets and translocates effector proteins into the host cell. Effectors can be divided into several groups including broad host range effectors, host specific effectors, disease specific effectors, and effectors inhibit host defenses. The role of effectors carrying LRR domain in plant resistance is very elusive since most known plant resistance gene carry LRR domain. Host specific effectors such as several avr gene products are involved in the determination of the host specificity. Almost all the phytopathogenic Xanthomonas spp. carry avrBs1, avrBs2, and avrBs3 homologs. Some strains of X. oryzae pv. oryzae carry more than 10 copies of avrBs3 homologs. However, the functions of all those avr genes in host specificity are not characterized well.;

E. pyrifoliae에 의한 과수 가지검은마름병은 국내에서 1995년 최초 발생이래 2016년까지 꾸준히 발생하여 과수농가에 피해를 주고 있는 세균병해이다. 가지검은마름병 발생 농가의 폐원조치 및 공적방제로 인한 경제적 피해 감소를 위하여, 병징이 관찰되는 이병조직 및 건전조직 내의 병원 세균을 검출하여 효율적 관리방안을 마련하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 가지검은마름병원세균의 검출은 genomic DNA 추출과정을 생략한 순수 균총만을 이용하는 colony-PCR을 이용하였으며, 이를 위해 ERIC 지역에서 제작된 가지검은마름병원세균 특이 프라이머 EpSPF/EpSPR 프라이머쌍을 선발하였다. 특이 프라이머를 활용한 colony-PCR 방법으로 2014-2015년 4-10월까지 사과나무 생육기간 동안 가지검은마름병 발생상황을 모니터링한 결과, $25^{\circ}C$ 일 평균 온도 기간인 5월 중순부터 7월 초순까지 발병이 가장 빈번하였다. 발병가지 내 병원세균의 존재유무 검정 결과 병징 부위와 이로부터 20 cm 내 건전조직에서만 병원세균이 지속적으로 검출되었다. 따라서 이미 발생한 가지검은마름병을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 이병조직과 건전조직 경계 부위로부터 20 cm 이상에서 가지치기를 하는 것이 매우 적절할 것으로 판단된다.

경상북도 북부지역 7개 시 군의 담배재배 농가를 대상으로 병해 발생상황과 농민들의 병해방제법과 관련된 재배방법을 조사하였다. 육묘기와 본밭초기의 담배에서 발생되는 전염성 병해는 극히 미미하였으며, 수확기의 담배에 가장 피해를 주는 병은 감자바이러스 Y에 의한 모자이크병과 세균성마름병(Ralstonia solanacearum)이었다. 담배모자이크바이러스(TMV)에 의한 모자이크병은 저항성 품종의 확대 보급으로 인하여 10년 전에 비하여 크게 감소되었으며, 세균성마름병 발생은 감수성 품종 보급으로 인하여 증가하였다. 30% 이상의 담배 재배 농민들이 농약을 오용하고 있었으며, 같은 수의 농민들이 10년 이상 담배를 연작하고 잘못된 윤작 작물을 선택하였다.

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a key virulence determinant in the infection process of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000). Pathogen constructs a type III apparatus to translocate effector proteins into host cells, which have various roles in pathogenesis. 4-Hydroxybenozic acid and vanillic acid were identified from root extract of Sedum middendorffianum to have inhibitory effect on promoter activity of hrpA gene encoding the structural protein of the T3SS apparatus. The phenolic acids at 2.5 mM significantly suppressed the expression of hopP1, hrpA, and hrpL in the hrp/hrc gene cluster without growth retardation of Pst DC3000. Auto-agglutination of Pst DC3000 cells, which is induced by T3SS, was impaired by the treatment of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillic acid. Additionally, 2.5 mM of each two phenolic acids attenuated disease symptoms including chlorosis surrounding bacterial specks on tomato leaves. Our results suggest that 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillic acid are potential anti-virulence agents suppressing T3SS of Pst DC3000 for the control of bacterial diseases.
