Perilla plant is a special crop that is used as oilseed and food in Korea. Root lesion nematodes have caused great damage to perilla plants, so for effective management of root lesion nematodes, it is necessary to understand their ecology in perilla. In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature in the development of Pratylenchus penetrans (Pp) and Pratylenchus vulnus (Pv) when the nematodes infected the perilla plant. To estimate the effect of temperature, we assessed the reproduction factor (RF); final population/initial population (Pf/Pi) of these two nematode species. We used perilla plants as inoculated hosts and investigated the density of nematodes at 10 weeks after inoculation. As a result, the RF of Pp was highest at 20°C (0.41 (1st test), 2.2 (2nd test)) followed by 25, 30, and 15°C. The RF of Pv was highest at 30°C (9.84 (1st test), 31.39 (2nd test)), followed by 25, 20, and 15°C. Comparing the RF by temperature between Pp and Pv, Pv was higher than Pp at all temperatures used in the test. This study showed the optimal development temperature of Pp was 20-25°C and Pv was 30°C, respectively.

Root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus vulnus) and pin nematode (Paratylenchus sp.) were detected with high population density at the spray chrysanthemum greenhouse in Gumi, Gyeongbuk. The average density of P. vulnus and Paratylenchus sp. was 667 and 716 nematodes per 100 g soil and P. vulnus density were distributed 87% to the depth of 0~30 ㎝ in greenhouse. When spray chrysanthemum cv Chopin, was transplanted in September 2004 in greenhouse, P. vulnus were 854 nematodes/100 g soil in planting and increased 14,985 nematodes/100 g soils and 1g root after 10 weeks in harvest. Shoot weight and shoot height of spray chrysanthemum decreased 24.8% and 8.0% compared with non-infested P. vulnus after 10 weeks in greenhouse.

본 연구는 뿌리썩이선충(Pratylenchus vulnus)이 옥수수뿌리조직을 침입했을 때, 조직의 해부학적.생화학적 변화를 밝힘으로써 식물과 선충의 상호관계를 이해하고, 이들 정보를 바탕으로 선충저항성 작물의 육종 및 선별에 활용하기 위함이다. 옥수수뿌리 표피를 뚫고 들어온 선충은 뿌리 피층에 자리를 잡고, 세포벽을 파괴하면서 다른 세포로 이동한다. 마침내 선충들은 피층의 내피와 세근의 기부에 밀집했다. P.vuinus의 암컷들은 세포내에 공간(cavity)을 형성하여 그 속에 알을 낳는 습성을 지니고 있다. 선충에 의한 주된 피해양상은 세포벽이 파괴되고 부서져서 공간을 형성하는 것으로 나타난다. 이러한 현상은 세근의 기부에서도 관찰된다. 선충의 피해로 야기된 옥수수 뿌리의 생화학적 변화는 선충접종구와 무접종구간 총단백질양과 esterase활력조사를 통해 비교.분석되었다. Denaturing gel 상에서 총단백질양의 비교는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았고, esterase 의 pattern 및 활력에서도 유의할 만한 차이는 발견되지 않았다.
