Ralstonia solanacearum에 의한 시들음 피해는 고온기 재배가 증가함에 따라 피해가 증가하고 있다. 이에 재배적 방법으로 토마토대목을 이용하고 있으나 병이 다 발생하는 지역에서는 효과가 기대에 미치지 못한다. 이에 따라서 AVRDC에서 수집한 풋마름병 저항성 가지 대목인 EG203을 재료로 하여 풋마름병 다 발생포장인 부여 토마토시험장 비닐하우스에서 2003-2005년, 구미시 비닐하우스에서 2009-2011년까지 두 곳에서 각각 3년간 실시하였다. EG203(가지)는 광발아 종자로 파종 시 육묘 트레이에 직접 파종하여야 하며 EG-203(가지)의 파종 적기는 토마토 접수보다 3주전에 파종해야 접수와 비슷한 경경(2.5-3.0 mm)에 도달하여 접목하기에 알맞았다. 접목방법은 맞접과 삽접이 93-96%의 활착률을 보여 대목으로 사용가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 접목 후 포장에 정식한 후의 풋마름병 발생을 2003년부터 2005년까지 3년 동안의 평균은 EG203(가지) 접목 시 4.3%로 실생의 58.0%보다 매우 낮았으며 대목용 품종의 25.0-36.7%보다도 낮게 나타났다. 구미에서 2009년부터 2011년까지 3년간 대목 효과에 대하여 시험한 결과는 2009년 5농가에서 EG203과 실생묘를 비교한 결과 EG203에서는 풋마름병 발생률이 2-5%였으나 실생은 20-80%를 보였다. 2010년에는 토마토대목('B-blocking', '청강')과 가지대목(EG203)을 갖고 비교 한 결과 풋마름병 발생률의 차이는 보이지 않았으나 가지대목(EG203)에서 복화방 출현이 늦어 수확이 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 2011년 토마토대목('청강')과 가지대목(EG203)으로 3농가에서 시험한 결과 토마토대목('청강')에서 풋마름병 발생률은 60-85%, 가지대목(EG203)은 0-1%로 가지대목에서 병발생률이 매우 낮았다. 가지대목(EG203)을 이용할 경우 토마토대목과 비교 복화방이 늦게 발생하여 토마토 생산량이 줄었다. 따라서 병 발생이 낮은 곳에서는 토마토대목을 활용하여 접목을 하고 병이 다 발생하는 지역에서는 가지대목(EG203)을 활용하는 것이 재배에 유리하다고 판단되어진다.

An important recent advance in the field of plant-microbe interactions has been the cloning of genes that confer resistance to specific viruses, bacteria, fungi or insects. Disease resistance (R) genes encode proteins with predicted structural motifs consistent with them having roles in signal recognition and transduction. Plant disease resistance is the result of an innate host defense mechanism, which relies on the ability of plant to recognize pathogen invasion and efficiently mount defense responses. In tomato, resistance to the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato is mediated by the specific recognition between the tomato serine/threonine kinase Pto and bacterial protein AvrPto or AvrPtoB. This recognition event initiates signaling events that lead to defense responses including an oxidative burst, the hypersensitive response (HR), and expression of pathogenesis- related genes.

Fusarium wilt disease of tomato plants caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL race2) is one of the most important diseases of tomatoes worldwide. In the competition between tomato and FOL, the FOL can win by overcoming the immune system of tomato plants. Resistant interaction between the FOL race2 and tomato plants is controlled by avirulence genes (AVR2) in FOL and the corresponding resistance genes (I2) in tomato plants. In this study, 7 FOL isolates (KACC) were used to test their pathogenicity, and FOL race2 was selected because it is a broad problem in Korea. The Fol40044 isolates showed the most severe pathogenicity, and the avr2 gene was also isolated and identified. Moreover, to select resistance, 20 tomato varieties were inoculated with the Fol40044, and the degree of pathogenicity was evaluated by analyzing the expression of the avr2 gene. As a result, three resistant tomato varieties (PCNUF73, PCNUF101, PCNUF113) were selected, and the expression of the avr2 gene was much lower than that of the control Heinz cultivar. This result shows that the screening assay is very efficient when the avr2 gene is used as a marker to evaluate the expression level when selecting varieties resistant to tomato wilt disease. Based on these results, it is possible to isolate the I2 gene, which exhibits resistance and molecular biological interactions with the AVR2 gene from the three tomato-resistant varieties. The I2 gene provides breeders more opportunities for Fusarium disease resistance and may contribute to our understanding of their interactions with the FOL and host plant.

Early blight of tomato caused by Alternaria solani, is responsible for severe yield losses in tomato. The conidia survive on soil surface and old dry lower leaves of the plant and spread when suitable climatic conditions are available. Macroclimatic study reveals that highest inoculum concentration of Alternaria spores appeared in May 2012 to 2013 and lowest concentration during January 2012 to 2013. High night temperature positively correlated and significantly (P < 0.01) involved in conidial spore dispersal and low relative humidity (RH) displayed significant (P < 0.05) but negative correlation with conidial dispersal. The objective of the study was to modify microclimatic conditions of tomato crop canopy which may hamper conidial dispersal and reduce disease severity. We evaluated effect of marigold intercropping and plastic mulching singly and in consortia on A. solani conidial density, tomato leaf damage and microclimatic parameters as compar to tomato alone (T). Tomato-marigold intercropping-plastic mulching treatment (T + M + P) showed 35-39% reduction in disease intensity as compared to tomato alone. When intercropped with tomato, marigold served as barrier to conidial movement and plastic mulching prevented evapotranspiration and reduced the canopy RH that resulted in less germination of A. solani spores. Marigold intercropping and plastic mulching served successfully as physical barrier against conidial dissemination to diminish significantly the tomato foliar damage produced by A. solani.

Machine vision system was used for analyzing leaf color disorders of tomato plants in a greenhouse. From the day when a few leave of tomato plants had started to wither, a series of images were captured by 4 times during 14 days. Among several color image spaces, Saturation frame in HSI color space was adequate to eliminate a background and Hue frame was good to detect infected disease area and tomato fruits. The processed image ($G{\sqcup}b^*$ image) by OR operation between G frame in RGB color space and $b^*$ frame in $La^*b^*$ color space was useful for image segmentation of a plant canopy area. This study calculated a ratio of the infected area to the plant canopy and manually analyzed leaf color disorders through an image segmentation for Hue frame of a tomato plant image. For automatically analyzing plant leave disease, this study selected twenty-seven color patches on the calibration bars as the corresponding to leaf color disorders. These selected color patches could represent 97% of the infected area analyzed by the manual method. Using only ten color patches among twenty-seven ones could represent over 85% of the infected area. This paper showed a proposed machine vision system may be effective for evaluating various leaf color disorders of plants growing in a greenhouse.

Bacillus licheniformis N1, previously developed as a biofungicide formulation N1E to control gray mold disease of plants, was investigated to study the bacterial traits that may be involved in its biological control activity. Two N1E based formulations, bacterial cell based formulation PN1E and culture supernatant based formulation SN1E, were evaluated for disease control activity against gray mold disease of tomato and strawberry plants. Neither PN1E nor SN1E was as effective as the original formulation N1E. Fractionation of antifungal compounds from the bacterial culture supernatant of B. licheniformis N1 indicated that two different cyclic lipopeptides were responsible for the antimicrobial activity of the N1 strain. These two purified compounds were identified as iturin A and surfactin by HPLC and LCMS. The purified lipopeptides were evaluated for plant disease control activity against seven plant diseases. Crude extracts and purified compounds applied at 500 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentration controlled tomato gray mold, tomato late blight and pepper anthracnose effectively with over 70% disease control value. While iturin showed broad spectrum activity against all tested plant diseases, the control activity by surfactin was limited to tomato gray mold, tomato late blight, and pepper anthracnose. Although antifungal compounds from B. licheniformis N1 exhibited disease control activity, our results suggested that bacterial cells present in the N1E formulation also contribute to the disease control activity together with the antifungal compounds.

Ralstonia solanacearum에 의해 발생하는 토마토 풋마름병에 대하여 저항성으로 알려진 토마토 순계 품종의 국내 병원균에 대한 저항성 반응을 온도별로 평가하였다. 한국에서 분리된 R. solanacearum 균주로 토마토 순계 6 품종의 저항성을 평가한 결과 기존에 저항성으로 알려진 토마토 순계들이 한국 분리균주에 대하여는 대부분 저항성을 유지하지 못하였다. 병원성이 강한 균주인 SL341 (race 1, biovar 4) 균주는 검정한 대부분의 품종에서 온도에 관계없이 강한 병원성을 보였다. 반면, 담배에서 분리된 균주인 SL1944(race 1, biovar 4)은 온도에 따라 발병진전이 현저하게 차이가 났다. Moneymaker와 Bonny Best와 같은 품종은 온도에 관계없이 SL1944에 대하여 감수성이었다. 그러나, 풋마름병 저항성 품종으로 알려진 Hawaii 7998, Hawaii 7996, B-blocking 품종은 오히려 상대적으로 고온인 조건($35^{\circ}C$에서 14시간 명조건과 $28^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 암조건)에서 급격히 발병하였다. 병 진전은 동일한 품종의 낮은 온도에서 병 진전이나 Moneymaker나 Bonny Best 같은 품종에서 동일한 고온 조건의 발병에 비해 눈에 띄게 빨랐다. 본 연구결과는 국내에서 분리된 균주들이 기존에 저항성 토마토 품종을 가해할 수 있으며 고온조건에서는 품종의 저항성 붕괴의 가능성으로 급격한 풋마름병이 유발될 수 있음을 제시한다.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in tomato plants by Ralstonia solanacearum infection and the role of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) and nitric oxide in tomato bacterial wilt control were demonstrated. During disease development of tomato bacterial wilt, accumulation of superoxide anion ($O_2{^-}$) and $H_2O_2$ was observed and lipid peroxidation also occurred in the tomato leaf tissues. High doses of $H_2O_2$ and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) nitric oxide donor showed phytotoxicity to detached tomato leaves 1 day after petiole feeding showing reduced fresh weight. Both $H_2O_2$ and SNP have in vitro antibacterial activities against R. solanacearum in a dose-dependent manner, as well as plant protection in detached tomato leaves against bacterial wilt by $10^6$ and $10^7$ cfu/ml of R. solanacearum. $H_2O_2$- and SNP-mediated protection was also evaluated in pots using soil-drench treatment with the bacterial inoculation, and relative 'area under the disease progressive curve (AUDPC)' was calculated to compare disease protection by $H_2O_2$ and/or SNP with untreated control. Neither $H_2O_2$ nor SNP protect the tomato seedlings from the bacterial wilt, but $H_2O_2$ + SNP mixture significantly decreased disease severity with reduced relative AUDPC. These results suggest that $H_2O_2$ and SNP could be used together to control bacterial wilt in tomato plants as bactericidal agents.

Three plant growth-promoting yeasts and two rhizobacteria were tested for controlling tomato wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici under green-house and field conditions. Under greenhouse and field conditions, all treatments were significantly reduced disease severity of tomato wilt relative to the infected control. The highest disease reductions in pots (75.0, 67.4%) and field (52.5, 42.4%) were achieved by Azospirillum brasilense and Bacillus subtilis compared to infected control. Under field condition all treatments produced the highest tomato yield compared to the control plants inoculated with the pathogen.
