Over 98％ of Dendranthema x grandiflorum plants growing under a glasshouse in Gumi, Korea were infested with Meloidogyne hapla. Dendranthema x grandiflorum cv, 'Ardilo' had fewer eggmass (3.3/g root), followed by cv. 'Euro' (6.5), and cv. 'Monarisa' had the most eggmasses(17). The coefficient correlation between plant growth and nematode reproduction(number of eggmass per plant) indicated that nematode reduced chlorophyll content in leaf (r = -0.418, p = 0.059; r = -0.463, p = 0.040). Number of flowers, number of leaves and stem height to flower were positively correlated with flower weight(p < 0.05).

Nineteen pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivars were screened for the resistance to two common species of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria. The tested pepper cultivars showed different degrees of resistance to M. incognita but all were resistant to M. arenaria. The cultivars cv. Gonggongchil, Green No. 500 Pimento, Dahonggeon, Manitta, Shinbaram, Perfecto, and Hanmaeum were resistant to the both species of root-knot nematodes. Therefore, seven selected resistant pepper cultivars are recommended as resistant rotation crops in greenhouses where root-knot nematodes are problematic.

This study aims to examine the potential reasons for the current prevalence of the fusarium wilt in the oriental melon. Twenty-seven Fusarium isolates obtained from oriental melon greenhouses in 2010-2011 were identified morphologically and by analysis of elongation factor-1 alpha gene (EF-$1{\alpha}$) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences as 6 Fusarium species (8 isolates of F. oxysporum, 8 F. commune, 5 F. proliferatum, 3 F. equiseti, 2 F. delphinoides, and 1 F. andiyazi), which were classified as same into 6 EF-$1{\alpha}$ sequence-based phylogenetic clades. Pathogenicity of the Fusarium isolates on the oriental melon was highest in F. proliferatum, next in F. oxysporum and F. andiyazi, and lowest in the other Fusarium species tested, suggesting F. proliferatum and F. oxysporum were major pathogens of the oriental melon, inducing stem rots and vascular wilts, respectively. Oriental melon and watermelon were more susceptible to F. oxysporum than shintosa and cucumber; and cucumber was most, oriental melon and watermelon, medially, and shintosa was least susceptible to F. proliferatum, whose virulence varied among and within their phylogenetic subclades. Severe root-knot galls were formed on all the crops infected with Meloidogyne incognita; however, little indication of vascular wilts or stem and/or root rots was shown by the nematode infection. These results suggest the current fungal disease in the oriental melon may be rarely due to virulence changes of the fusarium wilt pathogen and the direct cause of the severe root-knot nematode infection, but may be potentially from other Fusarium pathogen infection that produces seemingly wilting caused by severe stem rotting.

This study was conducted for ten years to evaluate the effective soil management for preventing the infection of root-knot nematode in the field of continuous cultivation with oriental melon under plastic house in Songju area of kyongbuk province. The content of available phosphate, total nitrogen, organic matter, CEC, and exchangeable base in the soil increased with the increase of continuous cultivation year. Especially salt content in the soil increased form 1.2 to 4.55 mS/cm and the yield of oriental melon dramatically decreased with the continuous cultivation year. The number of root-knot nematode was 91 per $300\;cm^3$ of soil in the field of continuous cultivation for 3 years and showed slight damage on the oriental melon, but it was 518 in the field of $4{\sim}6$ years continuous cultivation and showed that 50% of plants died in August, and the yield of late season was less than 50% compared to normal plant. For the seasonal changes in infection rate of root-knot nematode on oriental melon plant, 15% of the normal plant was infected by nematode in February and increased gradually by $10{\sim}20%$ per month, 60% of plants was infected in July. The density of root-knot nematode nymph was 167 in February and increased to 1,625 in August. The infection rate of nematode was 35%, and the number of nematode was about 54 in nursery soil originated from paddy soil, upland soil, and river sand. There were no relationship between the number of nematode and available phosphate or exchangeable base in the soil of plastichouse where oriental melon plants were grown.

Biological and structural mechanisms of the nematode disease development in chili pepper caused by the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, were investigated. Out of 39 chili pepper cultivars/lines tested, six were found resistant, while 33 were susceptible to M. incognita, of which a susceptible cultivar Chilseongcho and three resistant cultivar/lines CM334, 02G132 and 03G53 with different resistance degrees were selected for microscopic studies on the disease development. Gall formation was greatly reduced in the resistant cultivars/lines. Nematode penetration occurred both in the susceptible and resistant chili pepper roots; however, the penetration rates were significantly lowered in the three resistant peppers compared to the susceptible pepper cv. Chilseongcho. In the susceptible pepper, giant cells were extensively formed with no discernible necrosis around the nematode feeding sites. In the highly resistant pepper cultivar CM334, no giant cell was formed, but extensive necrosis formation was observed around the penetrating nematodes. In the other two resistant pepper lines (02G132 and 03G53), both giant cells and prominent necroses were formed, and the necrotic responses appeared to inhibit the further development of giant cells or accelerate their early degeneration. Although the nematode penetration was retarded significantly in the resistant cultivar/lines, all of the above results suggest that the disease resistance of pepper may be related to post-infectional defense mechanisms (nematode growth and development) more than pre-infectional ones (penetration and establishment). Variations in structural modifications in the resistant cultivar/lines may reflect their genetic differences related to the nematode resistance.

To survey the incidence of plant-parasitic nematodes, 187 soil samples from leguminous plant fields in Chungnam province, Korea were assessed from June to August 2018. As the result, four nematode genera - the cyst nematode (Heterodera spp.), root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.), root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp.), spiral nematode (Helicotylenchus spp.) - were detected. Among them, the incidence of cyst nematode was the highest in Taean (73%) and lowest in Hongseong (10%). The cyst nematode was detected from the adzuki and kidney bean fields as well as soybean fields. The incidence of cyst nematode in upland fields was higher than in paddy fields. In addition, the extracted cyst nematodes consisted of two species, which was identified as Heterodera glycines and H. sojae. The incidence of H. glycines (22%) was higher than H. sojae (10%), and a few of the fields (5%) was mixed with two cyst nematodes. This result suggested that we should consider that the cyst nematode is the major plantparasitic nematode when controlling the nematodes in soybean fields in Chungnam province.

The effect of nematicides on root-knot nematode were investigated in the mulberry nursery farm of Jeonnam province from 1985 to 1986. The nematicides applied were Fenamiphos, D-D(92%), Aldicarb, D-D(55%), Ethoprop and Carofuran. The control effects of nematicides used were similar in two years (1985 and 1986). The Fenamiphos and D-D(92%) both were a highly effective than any of Aldicarb, D-D (55%) and Ethoprop, Carbofuran. Mulberry sampling showed good growth when the above nematicides were applied.

A lot of SSRs (simple sequence repeats) in peach and pear from enriched genomic libraries and in peach from a cDNA library were developed. These SSRs were applied to other related species, giving phenograms of 52 Prunes and 60 pear accessions. Apple SSRs could also be successfully used in Pyrus spp. Thirteen morphological traits were characterized on the basis of the linkage map obtained from an $F_2$ population of peach. This map was compiled with those morphological markers and 83 DNA markers, including SSR markers used as anchor loci, to compare different peach maps. Molecular markers tightly linked to new root-knot nematode resistance genes were also found. A linkage map including disease related genes, pear scab resistance and black spot susceptibility, in the Japanese pear Kinchaku were constructed using 118 RAPD markers. Another linkage map, of the European pear Bartlett, was also constructed with 226 markers, including 49 SSRs from pear, apple, peach and cherry. Maps of other Japanese pear cultivars, i.e., Kousui and Housui, were also constructed. These maps were the first results of pear species.

A liquid bio-formulation containing chitinolytic bacteria, chitin and their products was assessed for its potential biological control against root-knot nematodes on cucumber. The bio-formulation was prepared by cultures of three chitinolytic bacteria, Chromobacterium sp. strain C-61, Lysobacter engymogenes and Serratia plymuthica in minimal medium supplemented with chitin. Under pot conditions, the bio-formulation showed better growth of cucumber plants, and less root galls and population density of Meloidogyne spp. than control media without the bio-formulation. In a greenhouse, 75-fold diluted bio-formulations were treated instead of water around cucumber plants through hoses for drip irrigation six times at 5-day intervals from the transplanting date. After 30 and 60 days, the treatment provided about 7% and 10% enhancement in the plant height and about 78% and 69% reduction in population density of Meloidogyne spp. in the rhizosphere, respectively. In addition, the experiments showed that the control effects occurred only in the soils contacted with the bio-formulation. Undiluted bio-formulations were drenched three times at 10-day intervals around cucumber plants severely infested with Meloidogyne spp. The treatment showed about 37% plant enhancement without dead plants compared with 37% death in the untreated control, and about 82% nematode reduction. These results suggest that the bio-formulation can be practically used to control the root-knot nematode on cucumber.
