Mycorrhizae가 형성된 식물에서 인광석이 인산급원으로 이용될 수 있는 지를 검토하기 위하여 온실 실험을 수행하였다. 멸균된 제주 화산회토에 인광석과 용성인비를 100및 200 mg P/kg 수준으로 처리하고 토마토를 재배하였는데 토마토는 mycorrhizae 접종구와 비접종구를 두고 3개월간 재배한 후 식물생육과 인을 비롯한 무기영양소 흡수를 조사하였다. 용성인비 처리구에 비하여 인광석 처리구에서 생육이 현저히 저해되었는데 이는 인광석처리에 따른 토양중의 유효인산 부족 때문일 것이다. 용성인비와 인광석 200 mg P/kg 처리구에스는 mycorrhizae균의 접종에 따라 건물량이 증가하였다. Mycorrhizae 형성율과 토양중의 포자밀도는 인광석 처리구에서 낮았다. 식물체중의 인 함량은 용성인비 처리구에서 높았으며, mycorrhizae 처리 효과는 없었다. N, K, Ca, Mg 등의 함량에서도 처리별로 차이는 없었다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때, 제주 화산회토양에서 $100{\sim}200\;mg\;P/kg$ 수준의 인광석 처리로는 mycorrhizae 형성 여부에 상관없이 적정 식물생육을 위한 인 공급이 될 수 없는 것으로 판단되었다.

A series of experiments were conducted to assess the effectiveness of rhizobacteria containing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase for growth promotion of peas under drought conditions. Ten rhizobacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of different crops (peas, wheat, and maize) were screened for their growth promoting ability in peas under axenic condition. Three rhizobacterial isolates, Pseudomonas fluorescens biotype G (ACC-5), P. fluorescens (ACC-14), and P. putida biotype A (Q-7), were selected for pot trial on the basis of their source, ACC deaminase activity, root colonization, and growth promoting activity under axenic conditions. Inoculated and uninoculated (control) seeds of pea cultivar 2000 were sown in pots (4 seeds/pot) at different soil moisture levels (25, 50, 75, and 100% of field capacity). Results revealed that decreasing the soil moisture levels from 100 to 25% of field capacity significantly decreased the growth of peas. However, inoculation of peas with rhizobacteria containing ACC deaminase significantly decreased the "drought stress imposed effects" on growth of peas, although with variable efficacy at different moisture levels. At the lowest soil moisture level (25% field capacity), rhizobacterial isolate Pseudomonas fluorescens biotype G (ACC-5) was found to be more promising compared with the other isolates, as it caused maximum increases in fresh weight, dry weight, root length, shoot length, number of leaves per plant, and water use efficiency on fresh and dry weight basis (45, 150, 92, 45, 140, 46, and 147%, respectively) compared with respective uninoculated controls. It is highly likely that rhizobacteria containing ACC deaminase might have decreased the drought-stress induced ethylene in inoculated plants, which resulted in better growth of plants even at low moisture levels. Therefore, inoculation with rhizobacteria containing ACC deaminase could be helpful in eliminating the inhibitory effects of drought stress on the growth of peas.

Orchids are evolutionally known to be the most advanced plants in the order Liliales, and comprise approximately 1,000 genera and 35,000 species world-wide. In Korea, more than 110 species of Orchidaceae have been reported to be cultivated or to be collected in the wild. Orchids aye mostly dependant on orchid mycorrhizae(OM) throughout or in part of their life cycle. The OM endomycorrhizae belonging to basidiomycetes or rarley ascomycetes are needed for orchid seed germination. Various fungi, including plant pathogenic, antagonistic and symbiotic fungi, were isolated from the roots of orchid native to Korea. The OM fungi collected from the roots of Cymbidium goeringii were three species of Rhizoctonia namely, R. repens (anamorph state of Tulsanella repens), R. endophytica (Ceratobasidium cornigerum), and an unidentified species (possibly an anamorph of T. calospora). These symbiotic fungi induced peloton in the cortical cells of orchid roots, and differed biologically and in 18s rDNA sequences from plant pathogenic Rhizoctonia species. Also, the mycorrhyzal fungi enhanced the orchid root absorption of nitrogen sources and minerals from the soil. The activity of mycorrhizal fungal hyphae in the roots caused prevention from pathogenic fungi. In nature, the peloton is observed in the cortical cells of Cymbidium goeriingii roots, indicating mycorrhizal colonization in the native orchid roots. On the other hand, pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium and/or Rhizoctonia species are mostly isolated from commercial orchid plants. These suggest that application of symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi should be needed for orchid cultivation in nurseries and at the time of transplanting.

Roots of Glycine max and Miscanthus sinensis and soil samples were collected from various field sites at Goesan, Chungbuk in Korea. Microscopic observations of the roots indicated high colonization rates of both arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF) and other fungi. The partial small subunit of ribosomal DNA genes were amplified with the genomic DNA extracted from their roots by nested polymerase chain reaction(PCR) with universal primer NS1 and fungal specific primers AML Restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) was analyzed using the combinations of three restriction enzymes, HinfI, AluI and AsuC21. Nucleotides sequence analysis revealed that ten sequences from Miscanthus sinensis and one sequence from Glycine max were close to those of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Also, 33% of total clones amplified with NS31-AM1 primers from M. sinensis and 97% from G. max were close to Fusarium oxysporum or other pathogenic fungi, and they were successfully distinguished from AME Results suggested that these techniques could help to distinguish arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from root pathogenic fungi in the plant roots. Especially, DNA amplified by these primers showed distinct polymorphisms between AMF and plant pathogenic species of Fusarium when digested with AsuC21.

Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6, isolated from the roots of dryland, field-grown commercial wheat in the USA, enhances plant health and therefore it is used in agriculture as a biofertilizer and biocontrol agent. The metabolites produced by this pseudomonad stimulate plant growth through direct antagonism of pathogens and by inducing systemic resistance in the plant. Studies upon P. chlororaphis O6 identify the pathways through which defined bacterial metabolites generate protection against pathogenic microbes, insects, and nematodes. P. chlororaphis O6 also triggers plant resistance to drought and salinity stresses. The beneficial determinants are produced from bacterial cells as they form biofilms during root colonization. Molecular control these processes in P. chlororaphis O6 involves the global regulatory Gac/Rsm signaling cascade with cross-talk between other global regulatory pathways. The Gac/Rsm regulon allows for coordinate phasing of expression of the genes that encode these beneficial traits among a community of cells. This review provides insights on the Gac/Rsm regulon in expression of beneficial traits of the P. chlororaphis O6 which can contribute to help yield enhancement and quality in agricultural production.

Ammonium- and potassium-loaded zeolite (NK-Z) and other four kinds of environmental friendly fertilizers/agents were applied to characterize their effectiveness on garlic (Allium sativum L.) growth and soil amelioration. Selenium dioxide ($SeO_2$) and germanium dioxide ($GeO_2$) liquid treatments significantly increased selenium (Se) and germanium (Ge) contents in garlic stems, garlic cloves and clove peels. In soil treated with ZBFC, Se contents in garlic stems, cloves, and clove peels was 13.89-, 12.79-, and 10.96-fold higher, respectively, than in the controls. The inorganic contents of plants grown in soil treated with functional strengthened fertilizers were also higher than in plants grown in control soil. Soil treated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) agents exhibited significantly greater spore density and root colonization rate than in untreated soil. The density of chitinolytic microorganisms in soil treated with colloidal chitin was also significantly higher than in untreated soil. The cation exchange capacities (CEC) in ZAFC-, ZBFC-, and ZBF-treated soils was 16.05%, 8.95%, and 8.80% higher than in control soil 28 weeks after sowing.

Soil-borne fungal pathogens such as Verticillium and Rhizoctonia can colonize in the stem tissue of plant through root and lead to wilting symptoms of plant by blocking. water transportation. During the colonization of Rhizoctonia solani in the vascular tissue of tomato stems, particularly, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene induction pattern was cyclized showing peak induction at two different time points (10 and 80 h) after fungal spores inoculation in vivo. In leaves or roots, however, no such cycling pattern was observed. The first induction peak may be due to an initial sporulation events leading to a second induction peak by a proliferation of fungal spores to the upper stems or other tissues from an initial spore trapping sites. Tomato PAL gene was also dramatically induced by wounding, light illumination and mercury chloride treatment but was not cyclized. Mercury chloride showed the earliest induction with all tissues even at half an hour after treatment.

현대 농업은 과도한 인구 증가에 따른 필요한 식량을 충족하기 위해 화학비료에 많이 의존하고 있다. 이는 농작물의 집약적인 경작으로 인해 토양의 중요 식물영양소가 점차 고갈되고 유기물 함량이 낮아진 토양에서 양분을 공급하기 위해 화학비료를 많이 사용하기 때문이다. 그러나 화학비료의 무분별한 사용은 화학비료의 가격상승과 더불어 화석연료의 소모를 늘리며, 심각한 환경오염을 일으키게 되었다. 따라서, 현재 세계가 주목하고 있는 새로운 방안은 농업 환경을 유지시키는 토양에 인산과 질소를 높이는 bacteria, fungi, algae와 같은 미생물의 접종과 함께 유기물 비료를 시비함으로서 화학 비료의 효능을 증가시키거나 화학비료의 대체 영양분으로 이용하는 것이다. 이러한 미생물비료 중 Azospirillum은 식물뿌리에 군집화 함에 있어 기주 식물에 특이성이 없으며, 넓은 범위의 pH 환경과 질소화합물이 존재하는 환경에서도 질소고정이 가능하다. Azospirillum 균 접종은 10-25%의 수확량 증가를 나타냈으며 질소비료시비를 25% 절감시키는 효과를 나타내었다. 질소고정 외에 Azospirillum은 뿌리의 생육을 증가시켜 무기양분과 수분의 흡수를 증가시킨다. 또한, Azospirillum은 식물 생장 호르몬을 생성하여 뿌리호흡 및 물질대사와 뿌리의 생장 및 활력을 높이고 polyhydroxybutyrate를 생성 이용하여 thermosplastic을 분해할 수 있다고 보고되고 있으며, 이러한 Azospirillum의 호르몬 생성 및 질소 고정 효능을 증대 향상시키기위해 많이 연구되고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 친환경농업을 위한 유용미생물로써 Azospirillum의 효율적 가치를 평가하였다.

생물적 방제균인 Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6는 phenazine, protease와 HCN 등과 같은 여러 가지 2차 대사 산물들을 분비하여 식물병원균의 생육을 억제하였다. 또한 O6 균을 밀종자에 접종하였을 때, F. culmorum에 의한 뿌리 썩음병을 방제하는 효과가 있었다. 오이 뿌리 분비액내의 주 유기산은 fumaric acid, malic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid 였고, 당으로는 glucose와 fructose가 검출되었으며, 유기산의 농도는 당의 농도보다 10배 정도 높았다. O6 균은 오이 뿌리 분비액을 영양원으로 하는 배지에서 생육하였다. 유기산을 흡수하는데 관여할 것으로 추정되는 O6 균의 dctA 유전자는 1,335 bp의 open reading frame을 가지고 있었으며, 444개의 아미노산으로 구성된 약 47 kD 의 pI가 8.2인 단백질을 암호화하였다. DctA 단백질은 10개의 putative trans-membrane domains를 가지고 있어, 세포막에 내재된 단백질로 추정되었다. 오이의 뿌리 분비액 중 유기산이 O6 균의 뿌리 정착에 중요한 물질로 작용한다면 본 연구에 의해 클로닝된 dctA 유전자는 식물 정착이나 생물적 방제균의 유용 형질의 발현을 연구하는데 중요한 유전자로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
