Fifty eight isolates of R. solani collected from rice plants infected to sheath blight disease at seven different locations through the country were evaluated for their cultural characteristics on media. Degree of resistance of nine rice varieties were tested by the seven isolates representing each culture type from the grouped pathogene-city. Great variation of cultural characterisics on PSA media was observed among isolates, and 58 isolates tested were grouped into 7 culture types. Locational distribution of isolates belong to each culture type was different between types, and only isolate type 'Ia' was distributed in all locations collected. The degree of pathogene-city of each isolate to rice adult plant was different between 7 culture types grouped, and no isolates infected severely on all tester rice varieties. The degree of resistance to the disease showed great variation among 9 tester varieties, and varietal reaction to the disease was varied along with isolates inoculated. An isolate, la, shown strong pathogenecity and distributed through 7 locations was selected for the screening of varietal resistance to rice sheath blight disease.

Rice varieties showing different degree of resistance were compared with their yield losses due to the damage of sheath blight disease in field condition through 1985 to 1986. Gayabyeo showed the lowest value of disease severity among 5 varieties tested in 1985 and 8 in 1986. and Taebaekbyeo, Kwanakbyeo and Labelle showed higher value of disease severity under the condition of artificial or natural disease inoculation. Grain yield of Gayabyeo, a moderate resistant rice variety, was reduced by 0.3 to 5％ in the rate due to sheath blight disease damage and Taebaekbyeo. a susceptible variety. showed the highest in the rate of yield loss, 6.8 to 25.8 ％. The matured grain rate and 1000-grain weight of the matured tiller were decreased when the developing disease lesion reached to the flag leaf, and then panicle weight was decreased more than 25 ％ compared with panicle of healthy culm. In conclusion, Gayabyeo showed the lower rate of yield loss because of slow development of disease to the upper leaves after initial disease occurence on the lower parts of rice plants.

Two types of Rhizoctonia solani esterases induced by cutin hydrolysate were partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration. The esterase I with hydrolyzing activity toward both ${\rho}-ni-trophenyl$ butyrate and ${\rho}-nitrophenyl$ palmitate and the esterase II with hydrolyzing activity toward only ${\rho}-ni-trophenyl$ butyrate were inhibited by ebelactone B, an esterase inhibitor produced by actinomycetes with $IC_{50}$ values of 0.01 and $0.09{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/l$, respectively. Spraying on rice seedling with ebelactone B at a concentration of $30{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ completely suppressed infection by R. solani. Ebelactone B could not protect the wounded rice seedling and did not show any inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. These results indicate that ebelactone B, an esterase inhibitor protects rice plants from infection with R. solani by inhibition of penetration, not through fungitoxic or fungicidal effect.

Two isolates of mucous bacteria, mc75 and pc78, were isolated from fungal culture plate as culture contaminants with an interesting swarming motility. Both isolates were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens based on microscopy, biochemical analysis, Biolog test and DNA sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. Both strains have the exactly the same 16S rRNA gene sequences, and yet their biological control activity were not identical each other. In vitro analysis of antagonistic activity of two isolates against several plant pathogenic fungi indicated that both produced diffusible and volatile antifungal compounds of unknown identities. Treatment of the bacterial culture of P. fluorescens pc78 and its culture filtrate exhibited a strong biological control activity against rice sheath blight in vivo among six plant diseases tested. More effective disease control activity was obtained from treatment of bacterial culture than that of culture filtrate. Therefore, in addition to antifungal compound and siderophore production, other traits such as biofilm formation and swarming motility on plant surface may contribute to the biological control activity of P.fluorescens pc78 and mc75.

Transplanting date, planting space and nitrogen level were evaluated for disease development of rice sheath blight using two rice cultivars, Jinheung and Yushin. Sheath blight disease was more severe in early transplanting plot (May 16), narrow planting space($27{\times}12cm$) and high nitrogen level (220kg/ha for Jinheung and 300kg/ha for Yushin) conditions than in May 26 transplanting plot, wide planting space ($27{\times}15cm$) and standard nitrogen level (110kg/ha and l50kg/ha). At the same time, cultural conditions favorable for disease development during growth stage resulted in greater damage at maturing stage.

Methanol extracts of fresh materials of 57 plants were screened for in vivo antifungal activity against Magna-porthe grisea, Corticium sasaki, Botrytis cinerea, Phyto-phthora infestans, Puccinia recondita, and Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei. Among them, seven plant extracts showed disease-control efficacy of more than 90％ against at least one of six plant diseases. None of the plant extracts was highly active against tomato gray mold. The methanol extracts of Chloranthus japonicus (roots) (CjR) and Paulownia coreana (stems) (PcS) displayed the highest antifungal activity; the CjR extract controlled the development of rice blast, rice sheath blight, and wheat leaf rust more than 90％, and tomato gray mold and tomato late blight more than 80％. The PcS extract displayed control values of more than 90 ％ against rice blast, wheat leaf rust, and barley powdery mildew and more than 80％ against tomato gray mold. The extract of PcS also had a curative activity against rice sheath blight and that of CjR had a little curative activity against rice blast. On the other hand, the extract of Rumex acetocella roots reduced specifically the development of barley powdery mildew. Further studies on the characterization of antifungal substances in antifungal plant extracts are underway and their disease-control efficacy should be examined under greenhouse and field conditions.

The rice diseases occurring on the transgenic rice plant carrying protox gene (CPPO06) was assessed and compared with other varieties of rice such as Dongjin, Chucheong, Ilpeum, and Onnuri in the fields located in Cheongwon of Chungbuk, Suwon of Gyeunggi, and Gwangju of Chonnam. In the field of Cheongwon, the diseases such as blast, leaf spot, sheath blight and Fusarium blight were observed. False smut were observed only in the field of Suwon, where the ratio of diseased plants was 0.28% in CPPO06 and 0.37% in Onnuri, respectively. In the field of Gwangju, leaf spot caused by Cochlioborus miyabeanus was the most severely occurring disease among rice diseases mentioned above. Fusarium blight occurred in all the 3 fields, which were more severe in CPPO06 plants treated with or without oxadiazon as the herbicide. Except for Fusarium blight, there was no significant difference in the rice diseases as blast, leaf spot, sheath blight and false smut between CPPO06 and other rice varieties.
