In 2003, a survey of sweet potato virus disease was carried out in seed boxes as well as in various sweet potato fields. Virus infection rate was $5\sim100%$ and 100% at seed boxes and fields, respectively. No relationship of the disease incidence and severity was observed between sweet potato cultivating areas and cultivars. A total of 179 samples were collected and analyzed based on serological, electron microscopic and molecular properties. Field-grown sweet potatoes were examined to inspect 8 different viruses using NCM-ELISA, resulting that 30% of sweet potato was infected by one virus, whereas 70% was by more than 2 viruses. However, RT-PCR using primers selected for seven viruses, such as Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) revealed that of one-hundred seventy-nine tested; 71 of SPFMV, 29 of SPGV, 19 of SPFMV+SPGV, 1 of SPFMV+SwPLV, 1 of SPFMV+SPLCV, 2 of SPFMV+SPGV+SwPLV, 6 of SPFMV+SPGV+SPLCV, 2 of SPFMV+SPGV+SwPLV+SPLCV and 48 of unknown viruses were identified from the field samples. In root, viral diseases were severer in Yeoju than in Mokpo Experiment Station and infection rate was much different depending on sweet potato cultivars.

Black leg occurred in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) grown in Pyungchang, Kangwon-Do, Korea. The symptoms began as small water-soaked lesions on stem, and the affected stems discolored black to brown. It became yellow under dry condition. When lower parts of potato were affected in the field, wilting of leaves and desiccation of the stem were developed. The causal organism was isolated from lesions and identified as Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica based on the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics. E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica is the first described bacterium which causes black leg in potato in Korea.

Sweet potato symptomless virus 1 (SPSMV-1) is a single-stranded circular DNA virus, belonging to the genus Mastrevirus (family Geminiviridae) that was first identified on sweet potato plants in South Korea in 2012. Although SPSMV-1 does not induce distinct symptoms in sweet potato plants, its co-infection with different sweet potato viruses is highly prevalent, and thus threatens sweet potato production in South Korea. In this study, the complete genome sequence of a Korean isolate of SPSMV-1 was obtained by Sanger sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicons from sweet potato plants collected in the field (Suwon). An infectious clone of SPSMV-1 (1.1-mer) was constructed, cloned into the plant expression vector pCAMBIA1303, and agro-inoculated into Nicotiana benthamiana using three Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains (GV3101, LBA4404, and EHA105). Although no visual differences were observed between the mock and infected groups, SPSMV-1 accumulation was detected in the roots, stems, and newly produced leaves through PCR. The A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 was the most effective at transferring the SPSMV-1 genome to N. benthamiana. We confirmed the viral replication in N. benthamiana samples through strand-specific amplification using virion-sense- and complementary-sense-specific primer sets.

The concentration of potato(Solanum tuberosum L.) glycoalkaloids(PCA) (i.e., ${\alpha}$-chaconine and ${\alpha}$-solanine) in Korean cultivated potato plant, and in the different varieties, parts and weights of the potato tubers, were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The highest concentrations of PGA in potato plants were found in the roots, followed by the stems and leaves. A large quantity of PGA existed in the periderm of 'Atlantic' potatoes, whereas 'Irish Cobbler' contained the lowest amount in five cultivated potato tubers.'Irish Cobbler' potatoes were divided into three parts and the PGA content in each part was determined. It was found that both of the end parts of the potatoes contained higher PGA than the middle part. The PGA contents in four different sizes of potatoes increased toward the smaller size. Thesignificantly high level of PGA was contained in the smallest size potato tubers, which have been used widely for Korean cooking.

In vitro plant regeneration of inbred breeding line of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) was established using leaf and petiole segments as explants. About 28 days old plants were excised and cultured on MS medium supplemented with TDZ and NAA or in combination with Zeatin. In all of the media compositions tested, combination of TDZ 0.5 mg/L, Zeatin 0.5 mg/L, and NAA 0.1 mg/L was found to be the best medium for shoot bud initiation. Young petiole was the most appropriate explant type for the plant regeneration as well as genetic transformation in hot pepper. In this study, HpMADS1 gene isolated from hot pepper was introduced using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. Based on the analysis of Southern blot and RT-PCR, HpMADS1 gene was integrated in the hot pepper genome. It has been known that floral organ development is controlled by a group of regulatory factors containing the MADS domain. Morphological characteristics in these transgenic plants, especially flowering habit, however, were not significantly altered, indicating this MADS gene, HpMADS1 may be non-functional in this case.

PSTVd 를 접종시킨 감자의 Superior 품종으로부터 PSTVd RNA를 분리하여 역전사효소와 PSTVd genome 중 356 uncleotides를 증폭할 수 있는 PSTVd 특이적 primer 쌍을 사용하여 RT-PCR를 수행한 결과 356 nuclcotides의 DNA 절편이 증폭되었고 이 절편을 sequencing인 결과 PSTVd 의 유전자임을 확인하였다. 감염된 잎과 괴경에수 모두 RT-PCR 기법을 이용한 PSTVd 의 검정이 가능하였고 특히 RT 반응시 downstream primer만을 이용할 때보다 downstream과 upstream primer를 동시에 사용할 때가 PSTVd 의 검정에 더 효과적이었다.

최근 감자 바이러스의 발생 양상은 과거에는 PLRV의 이병율이 높았으나 현재에는 PVY의 발생이 많아지고 있는 추세인데 이는 '대서'와 '추백' 같은 감수성 품종의 재배 면적의 증가와 바이러스 이병율이 높은 재배 환경에서의 채종 때문일 것이다. 특히 2기작 감자 포장에서의 당대 감염율을 보더라도 '대서'와 '추백'의 이병율이 높아 감수성 품종으로 '수미'와 '대지'는 이병율이 비교적 낮아 저항성으로 나타났다. 또한 2기작 감자 재배지대에서 PVY에 감수성인 '추백' 품종의 안전한 씨감자 생산을 위해서 주위에 일반감자 재배가 없는 격리가 양호한 환경에서의 채종과 그렇지 못한 환경에서의 채종을 비교하여 재감염 정도를 조사하였는데 조직 배양후 2세대 걸친 노지 재배에서 바이러스 이병율이 약 3배의 차이를 보여 씨감자 생산에서 채종 환경의 중요성을 입증한 결과로 판명되었다.

Drought and salinity are the most important abiotic stresses that affect the normal growth and development of plants. Glycine betaine is one of the most important osmolytes present in higher plants that enable them to cope with environmental stresses through osmotic adjustment. In this study, a betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) gene from spinach under the control of the stress-induced promoter rd29A from Arabidopsis thaliana was introduced into potato cultivar Gannongshu 2 by the Agrobacterium tumefaciens system. Putative transgenic plants were confirmed by Southern blot analysis. Northern hybridization analysis demonstrated that expression of BADH gene was induced by drought and NaCl stress in the transgenic potato plants. The BADH activity in the transgenic potato plants was between 10.8 and 11.7 U. There was a negative relationship (y = -2.2083x + 43.329, r = 0.9495) between BADH activity and the relative electrical conductivity of the transgenic potato plant leaves. Plant height increased by 0.4-0.9 cm and fresh weight per plant increased by 17-29% for the transgenic potato plants under NaCl and polyethylene glycol stresses compared with the control potato plants. These results indicated that the ability of transgenic plants to tolerate drought and salt was increased when their BADH activity was increased.
