The book cover and the logo were designed by Jee-Yeon Koo. Preface The biological resources represent all the composition of organisms and genetic resources which possess the practical and potential values essential for human lives, and occupies a firm position in producing highly value-added products such as new breeds, new materials and new drugs as a means of boosting the national competitiveness. As Nagoya Protocol adopted in 2010 entered into force in the 12th Conference of Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2014, the national and international environment in the approach and common ownership of profit on genetic resources has been rapidly changed, and the competition among the nations surrounding the genetic resources is expected to be highly intense. As a part of the program, each nation in the world is putting into order to secure the information about native organisms inhabiting in its own land. The National Institute of Biological Resources of the Ministry of Environment has been publishing the ‘Flora and Fauna of Korea’ from 2006 to generally manage biological resources and to enhance national competitiveness by setting the foundation for the sovereignty over biological resources. Professional research group consisting of professors of taxonomy and related experts has syste- matically examined a total of 10,752 species for the past 7 years to publish 120 volumes each in Korean and English, and 2 volumes of World Monograph covering 216 species. In addition, 30 volumes of the ‘Flora and Fauna of Korea’, both in Korean and in English, covering 1,665 species of invertebrates, insects and algae are additionally published this year. The publication of the ‘Flora and Fauna of Korea’ serve to identify indigenous species living in Korea, to investigate biota, to improve the quality of national biological resources management and to provide the opportunity to lay the groundwork for the biotechnological industrialization of bio- logical resources. And I hope the project initiated by The National Institute of Biological Resources of the Ministry of Environment will help to discover useful biological resources in Korea and to create high value-added activities including natural products, genetic resources and medical sub- stance development. The National Institute of Biological Resources of the Ministry of Environment will continue to accelerate the project of the publication of the ‘Flora and Fauna of Korea’ to identify the entity of Korean indigenous species in the future. Personally I would like to express my sincere appreciation for those experts who spared no effort to publish the biological monographs; Emeritus Professor Seung Hun Yu of Chungnam National University.

  • The Phylogeny of Plant and Animal Pathogens in the Ascomycota
    Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology (2001) 59, 165±187 doi:10.1006/pmpp.2001.0355, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on MINI-REVIEW The phylogeny of plant and animal pathogens in the Ascomycota MARY L. BERBEE* Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada (Accepted for publication August 2001) What makes a fungus pathogenic? In this review, phylogenetic inference is used to speculate on the evolution of plant and animal pathogens in the fungal Phylum Ascomycota. A phylogeny is presented using 297 18S ribosomal DNA sequences from GenBank and it is shown that most known plant pathogens are concentrated in four classes in the Ascomycota. Animal pathogens are also concentrated, but in two ascomycete classes that contain few, if any, plant pathogens. Rather than appearing as a constant character of a class, the ability to cause disease in plants and animals was gained and lost repeatedly. The genes that code for some traits involved in pathogenicity or virulence have been cloned and characterized, and so the evolutionary relationships of a few of the genes for enzymes and toxins known to play roles in diseases were explored. In general, these genes are too narrowly distributed and too recent in origin to explain the broad patterns of origin of pathogens. Co-evolution could potentially be part of an explanation for phylogenetic patterns of pathogenesis. Robust phylogenies not only of the fungi, but also of host plants and animals are becoming available, allowing for critical analysis of the nature of co-evolutionary warfare. Host animals, particularly human hosts have had little obvious eect on fungal evolution and most cases of fungal disease in humans appear to represent an evolutionary dead end for the fungus.

  • Major Diseases of Horticultural Crops and Their Management
    Major Diseases of Horticultural Crops and this Management Dr.G. Thiribhuvanamala, Dr.S.Nakkeeran and Dr. K.Eraivan Arutkani Aiyanathan Department of Plant Pathology Centre for Plant Protection Studies Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore – 641 003 Introduction: The Horticulture (fruits including nuts, vegetables including potato, tuber crops, mushroom, ornamental plants including cut flowers, spices, plantation crops and medicinal and aromatic plants) has become a key drivers for economic development in many of the states in the country and it contributes 30.4 per cent to GDP of agriculture, which calls for knowledge and technical backstopping. Intensive cultivation of the high valued horticultural crops, resulted in the outbreak of several diseases of National importance. In recent days, stakeholders import planting materials from North American Countries. Introduction of planting materials also impose threat in the introduction of new diseases not known to be present earlier. However, the diseases, if not managed on a war foot, it will result in drrastic yield reduction and quality of the produces. Hence adoption of suitable management measures with low residue levels in the final produces becomes as a need of the hour. In this regard, this paper gives emphasis on the diagnosis of plant diseases and their management. 293 Diseases of Mango and their management 1. Anthracnose :Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Anthracnose symptoms occur on leaves, twigs, petioles, flower clusters (panicles), and fruits. The incidence of this disease can reach almost 100% in fruit produced under wet or very humid conditions. On leaves, lesions start as small, angular, brown to black spots and later enlarge to form extensive dead areas.

Woudenberg, [email protected] Abstract: Alternaria is a ubiquitous fungal genus that includes saprobic, endophytic and pathogenic species associated with a wide variety of substrates. In recent years, DNA- based studies revealed multiple non-monophyletic genera within the Alternaria complex, and Alternaria species clades that do not always correlate to species-groups based on morphological characteristics. The Alternaria complex currently comprises nine genera and eight Alternaria sections. The aim of this study was to delineate phylogenetic lineages within Alternaria and allied genera based on nucleotide sequence data of parts of the 18S nrDNA, 28S nrDNA, ITS, GAPDH, RPB2 and TEF1-alpha gene regions. Our data reveal a Pleospora/Stemphylium clade sister to Embellisia annulata, and a well-supported Alternaria clade. The Alternaria clade contains 24 internal clades and six monotypic lineages, the assemblage of which we recognise as Alternaria. This puts the genera Allewia, Brachycladium, Chalastospora, Chmelia, Crivellia, Embellisia, Lewia, Nimbya, Sinomyces, Teretispora, Ulocladium, Undifilum and Ybotromyces in synonymy with Alternaria. In this study, we treat the 24 internal clades in the Alternaria complex as sections, which is a continuation of a recent proposal for the taxonomic treatment of lineages in Alternaria.

High-throughput sequencing and soil physicochemical analyses were undertaken to investigate the diference of soil fungal communities and environmental driver factors in new and old ginseng felds; the extent of replant disease in old ginseng felds closely related to changes in soil properties and fungal communi- ties was also determined. Results indicated that fungal communities in an old ginseng feld were more sensitive to the soil environment than those in a new ginseng feld, and fungal communities were mainly driven by soil organic matter (SOM), soil available phosphorus (AP), and available potassium (AK). Notably, healthy ginseng plants in new and old ginseng felds may infuence fungal communities by actively recruiting potential disease suppressive fungal agents such as Amphinema, Cladophialophora, Cadophora, Mortierella, and Wilcoxina. When these key groups and members were depleted, suppres- sive agents in the soil possibly declined, increasing the abundance of pathogens. Soil used to grow American ginseng in the old ginseng feld contained a variety of fungal pathogens, including Alternaria, Armillaria, Aphanoascus, Aspergillus, Setophoma, and Rhexocercosporidium.
