  • Leaves of two-week old seedlings of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) were treated with various concentrations (0∼100 M) of $CdCl_2$ for up to 9 days and subsequent growth of seedlings, symptoms of oxidative stress and isozyme activities of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and peroxidase (POX) were investigated. Compared with the non-treated control, Cd exposure decreased biomass but increased Cd accumulation, hydrogen peroxide production and lipid peroxidation as malondialdehyde (MDA) formation in leaves and roots. Further studies on the developmental changes of isozyme activities showed that Fe-SOD, Cu/Zn-SOD and one of three APX isozymes decreased and CAT and one of four POX isozymes increased in leaves, whereas Fe-SOD, one of three POX isozymes and two of four APX isozymes decreased and CAT increased in roots, showing different expression of isozymes in leaves and roots with Cd exposure level and time. Based on our results, we suggest that the reduction of seedling growth by Cd exposure is the oxidative stress resulting from the over production of $H_2O_2$ and the insufficient activities of antioxidant enzymes particularly involved in the scavenging of $H_2O_2$. Further, the decreased activities of SOD and APX isozymes of chloroplast origin, the increased activities of CAT and POX and high $H_2O_2$ contents with Cd exposure might indicate that Cd-induced oxidative stress starts outside chloroplast.

  • 본 연구는 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici(FOL)에 의해 발생하는 토마토 시들음병의 간편 대량 유묘 검정 방법을 확립하고자 수행하였다. 토마토 시들음병 연구에는 root dip 접종 방법을 많이 사용하고 있으나, 대량의 시료에 대한 병 저항성 검정에서 이 방법은 시간이 많이 소요되고 힘이 많이 드는 어려움이 있다. 대량 검정을 위한 간편한 접종 방법을 선발하고자 FOL race 2와 3 균주를 root dip, tip 및 scalpel 등의 방법으로 접종하고 두 토마토 품종에서 시들음병 발생을 조사하였다. Tip 방법에 의해 접종한 토마토는 root dip 방법으로 접종한 토마토보다 더 낮은 발병도를 보였으며 개체 간 발병도 차이가 더 컸다. 반면에 scalpel방법은 root dip 방법에서처럼 토마토 시들음병에 대하여 분명한 감수성과 저항성 반응을 나타내었다. 이들 결과로부터 대량 시료를 위한 토마토 시들음병 저항성 검정에서 root dip 접종 방법보다 더 간단하고 효율적인 scalpel 이용 접종 방법을 선발하였다. Scalpel 접종 방법은 실험한 접종원 농도 및 재배 온도 등의 발병 조건에 의해 토마토 품종들의 저항성 및 감수성 반응은 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 토마토 시들음병에 대한 대량 유묘 검정 방법으로 연결 포트에서 재배한 2엽기 토마토 유묘의 뿌리를 scalpel을 이용하여 상처를 준 후에 FOL 포자 현탁액을 관주하여 $25-30^{\circ}C$ 생육상에서 하루에 12시간씩 광을 조사하면서 4주 동안 재배하는 것을 제안한다.

  • 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 role of inorganic nitrogen assimilation in the production of amino acids, organic acids and soluble sugars is one of the most important biochemical processes in plants, and, in order to achieve normally, nitrate uptake and assimilation is essential. For this reason, the characterization of nitrate assimilation and metabolite composition from leaves, roots and xylem sap of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) was investigated under different nitrate levels in media. Tomato plants were grown hydroponically in liquid culture under five different nitrate regimes: deficient (0.25 and 0.75 mM $NO_3{^-}$), normal (2.5 mM $NO_3{^-}$) and excessive (5.0 and 10.0 mM $NO_3{^-}$). All samples, leaves, roots and xylem sap, were collected after 7 and 14 days after treatment. The levels of amino acids, soluble sugars and organic acids were significantly decreased by N-deficiency whereas, interestingly, they remained higher in xylem sap as compared with N-normal and -surplus. The N-excessive condition did not exert any significant changes in metabolites composition, and thus their levels were similar with N-normal. The gene expression and enzyme activity of nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NIR) and glutamine synthetase (GS) were greatly influenced by nitrate. The data presented here suggest that metabolites, as a signal messenger, existed in xylem sap seem to play a crucial role to acquire nitrate, and, in addition, an increase in ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate pathway-derived amino acids under N-deficiency may help to better understand plant C/N metabolism.

  • In 1997, 103 isolates of Verticillium were obtained from roots and stems of tomato plants showing wilt symptoms in greenhouses in eight areas of Korea. Out of these isolates, 75 were edintified as V. dahliae while 28 were identified as V. albo-atrum based on their morpho-logical and cultural characteristics. Both Verticillium species produced colonies with conidiophores, which were more or less erect, hyaline, with verticillate branches, and with 3-4 phialides at each node. V. dahliae produced microsclerotia, while V. albo-atrum produced resting dark mycelium. Optimum temperatures for mycelial growth of V. dahliae and V. albo-atrum on PDA were 22 and $26^{\circ}$, respectively. Mycelial growth of V. albo-atrum was slower than that of V. dahliae. Pathoge-nicity tests revealed that tomato cvs. Zuikoh No. 102, Kyoryokubeiju No. 2, Zuiken, Kagimuza, and Momotaro were susceptible to V. albo-atrum, while cvs. Zuikoh No. 102 and Kyoryokubeiju No.2 were susceptible to V. dahliae.

  • Twenty two rhizobacteria were isolated from the roots and rhizosphere of radish, carnation, potato and tomato. There isolates produced a fluorescent pigment in King's B medium and identified as Pseudomonas spp. These isolates colonized roots and rhizosphere of the host plants. In the study of cultural characteristics of the bacteria, the pH of the culture broth was changed from neutral (7.0) to alkali (8.8∼9.41) and the numbers of cells were increased from 106 to 108 after 40 hr of incubation in basal standard succinate medium. The salicylic acid production identified by pink color reaction were observed in 7 bacteria. Out of these 7 salicylic acid producing bacteria, only 2 strains of bacteria such as Pseudomonas fluorescens RS006, and Pseudomonas sp. EN401 were confirmed as salicylic acid producers by optical density measurement. Therefore, for screening of salicylic acid producing bacteria from the roots and rhizosphere, color reaction of the culture medium should be done in the first step, and then optical density measurement of culture extract should be made for the confirmation of salicylic acid production.

  • 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.
