본 연구는 고추 논 비가림재배 시 비가림형태가 생육 및 수량에 미치는 영향을 구명코자 수행하였다. 시험품종은 '금마루' 이었다. 비가림형태는 노지(대조구), 간이비가림(2줄재배, 2R), 간이비가림(4줄재배, 4R), 하우스(House) 등 4처리를 하였다. 초장은 House 처리에서 가장 우수하였으며, 엽장과 엽폭은 비가림형태간에 차이가 없었다. 생과중과 건과중은 House > 4R > 2R > 대조구순으로 많았다. ASTA 값은 처리간에 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 역병, 흰가루병, 세균성점무늬병은 전혀 발생하지 않았고, 탄저병은 노지에서만 발생하였다. 응애, 총체벌레, 담배가루이는 모든 처리에서 발생하지 않았다. 진딧물, 담배나방, 바이러스는 모든 처리에서 동일한 수준으로 발생하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 고추 비가림재배는 건고추 수량 및 상품성 증대뿐만 아니라 병해충의 발생 감소시킬 것으로 기대된다.

Tabulis [Astilboides tabularis (Hemsl.) Engl.] has the potential for becoming a useful horticultural crop. This study was conducted to classify the seed dormancy types and to identify the germination conditions that improve the horticultural usefulness of this plant. We found that A. tabularis (Hemsl.) Engl. produced undifferentiated embryos and had a low germination rate of under 50%. In addition, water submersion led to moisture absorption. Therefore, A. tabularis seeds were designated as morphologically dormant. The germination rate was highest (86.3%) at $30^{\circ}C$ under light conditions. Higher temperatures generally led to an acceleration of the germination process, regardless of light condition. To improve the germination rate, seeds were submerged in various concentrations of growth regulators, such as $GA_3$ and kinetin, as well as minerals such as $KNO_3$ and KCl. An analysis of germination characteristics at $30^{\circ}C$ under light conditions revealed that treatment with 200 and $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}GA_3$ led to an excellent germination rate of 97.0%. Treatment with $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}GA_3$ led to a better germination rate than the control as well. However, treatment with kinetin, $KNO_3$, and KCl had no effect on germination, regardless of concentration.

In this study, we investigated the effect of seed collection stage and alternating temperature on the germination of Deutzia paniculata (Hydrangeaceae). The seeds were collected from naturally growing D. paniculata populations in Mt. Palgong, Gyeonsangbuk-do, Korea every two weeks over a three month period from August through October, 2014, totaling five collections. We examined seed characteristics such as seed size (length and width) and weight, and germination percentages for each collection stage under four different germination temperature regimes. We also examined germination after 30 and 60 days of cold moist stratification. Each collection phase had a different germination percentage and the lowest germination percentage was observed in the seeds from phase I (average GP of 15.7%). The germination percentage was similar at the later collection phases and in the higher temperatures suggesting that later collection times and higher temperatures are optimal for D. paniculata germination. We found that the optimum collection stage with high viability and germination percentage of for D. paniculata was during the middle of the September.

This study investigated the effect of exogenous hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) on the antioxidant responses and growth of warm-season turfgrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) and cool-season turfgrass (Poa pratensis L.) subjected to drought stress. Compared with control plants that were not pretreated with $H_2O_2$, plants pretreated with $H_2O_2$ had significantly greater fresh and dry weights of shoots and roots, and increased water content. $H_2O_2$ pretreatments before drought stress significantly decreased the concentrations of malondialdehyde and $H_2O_2$. DPPH radical scavenging and glutathione activities were significantly increased. The responsive activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and peroxidase were also significantly enhanced. Our results suggest that exogenous $H_2O_2$ could improve the growth of warm-season and cool-season turfgrass under drought stress by increasing the activity of their antioxidant enzymes, while decreasing lipid peroxidation.

In this study, four cultivars of strawberry commonly grown in South Korea, 'Daewang', 'Seolhyang', 'Maehyang', and 'Ssanta', were evaluated for several qualities, including the presence of phytochemicals, sugar content, organic acids, and fruit hardness. The plants were cultivated on a high-bench bed system in a plastic greenhouse and drip irrigated. Fruit samples were collected three times in February 2013 to analyze the fruit characteristics. We found that the fruit hardness of the 'Daewang', 'Maehyang', and 'Ssanta' cultivars was greater than that of 'Seolhyang', however 'Seolhyang' showed the highest moisture content of all the cultivars, indicating that fruit hardness was negatively associated with moisture content. Furthermore, 'Seolhyang' was found to have the highest levels of phenolic compounds and anthocyanins compared to the other cultivars. 'Maehyang' had the highest amount of total sugars. 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang' accumulated higher amounts of total organic acids. As a result, 'Daewang' and 'Maehyang' were expected to be preferred by consumers because they had the highest ratio of sugar to total acid in their fruit.

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a plant native to the Andean region that has become increasing popular as a food source due to its high nutritional content. This study determined the optimal photoperiod, light intensity, and electrical conductivity (EC) of the nutrient solution for growth and yield of quinoa in a closed-type plant factory system. The photoperiod effects were first analyzed in a growth chamber using three different light cycles, 8/16, 14/10, and 16/8 hours (day/night). Further studies, performed in a closed-type plant factory system, evaluated nutrient solutions with EC (salinity) levels of 1.0, 2.0 or $3.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. These experiments were assayed with two light intensities (120 and $143{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) under a 12/12 and 14/10 hours (day/night) photoperiod. The plants grown under the 16/8 hours photoperiod did not flower, suggesting that a long-day photoperiod delays flowering and that quinoa is a short-day plant. Under a 12/12 h photoperiod, the best shoot yield (both fresh and dry weights) was observed at an EC of $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of $120{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. With a 14/10 h photoperiod, the shoot yield (both fresh and dry weights), plant height, leaf area, and light use efficiency were higher when grown with an EC of $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and a PPFD of $143{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Overall, the optimal conditions for producing quinoa as a leafy vegetable, in a closed-type plant factory system, were a 16/8 h (day/night) photoperiod with an EC of $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and a PPFD of $143{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$.

본 연구는 환경오염 감소와 암면 배지의 대체를 위해 새롭게 개발된 생육배지인 phenolic foam의 토마토 육묘용 배지로써의 이용가능성을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 토마토 'Madison' 품종을 4종류의 펠릿형 Grodan rockwool(GRW), UR rockwool(URW), phenolic foam LC(LC), phenolic foam LC-lite(LC-lite) 인공배지에 파종하여 육묘 후 19일 후에 4종류의 큐브형 인공배지에 이식하였다. 종자는 식물생장 챔버에($25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 $90{\pm}5%$, 암발아) 4일 동안 발아시켰고, 발아가 시작 된 후에는 유리온실로 옮겨 두상 관수로 양액을 관수하였다. 토마토의 초장, 엽수, 엽면적, 생체중 및 건물중은 LC-lite 펠릿에서 육묘한 후 URW 큐브로 이식한 묘에서 생육이 우수하였다. 뿌리 등급은 LC 펠릿에서 육묘 후 LC와 LC-lite 큐브로 이식한 처리에서 가장 우수하였다. 배지의 화학성은 모든 배지에서 토마토의 생육에 안정적인 범위였다. URW의 물리성은 용기 용수량, 기상률, 총 공극에서 높은 값을 나타냈다. 그러므로, 신개발 배지인 phenolic foam은 토마토 묘의 초기 육묘와 뿌리 발달에 적합하여 암면 대체 가능성을 입증하였다.

본 실험은 10개의 겨울정식 파프리카 품종에서 재배기간 동안 관찰되는 생육과 착과의 특성을 비교하기 위해서 수행되었다. 본 실험을 위해서 공시된 품종은 적색계 파프리카 'Maduro', 'Maranello', 'Nagano', 'Sirocco'와 'Special', 황색계 파프리카 'Coletti', 'Sven', 'Thialf', 'Volante'와 'Zagato'이었으며, 실험은 2013년 겨울부터 2014년 가을까지 42주 동안 실시되었다. 각 품종별 생육 특성의 검정은 파프리카의 생육 단계를 기준으로 하여 Group 1에서부터 Group 6까지 6회로 나누어 수행하였다. 실험에 이용된 파프리카 품종에서 생육초기 상대적 절간비율은 모든 품종에서 평균 이상의 범위를 보였다. 하지만 생육이 진전될 수록 상대적 절간비율은 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 이러한 경향은 적색계 품종에서 황색계 품종에 비해서 컸다. 여름 재배기간 동안 'Special'과 'Zagato'는 생장이 억제가 된 반면, 'Maranello'와 'Volante'은 생육균형이 잘 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 착과율은 황색계 품종이 적색계 품종에 비해서 전체 마디수가 4.1마디 적었음에도 불구하고 적색계 품종에 비해서 10.8% 높았다. 6월과 7월에 성과기를 거친 이후에 측정된 Group 4에서의 착과량은 'Sirocco'와 'Coletti'가 다른 품종에 비해 적었던 것으로 보아 공시 품종 가운데 장마기 환경에 민감한 품종으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 측고가 높은 온실에서 여름 재배에 적합한 품종은 'Maranello', 'Nagano', 'Sven', 'Thialf', and 'Volante' 이며, 측고가 낮은 온실에서 여름재배에 적합한 품종은 'Maranello', 'Special', 'Volante'와 'Zagato'으로 판단된다.

Clubroot caused by the protist Plasmodiophora brassicae is one of the most destructive diseases of Brassica crops. Developing Chinese cabbage cultivars with durable clubroot resistance (CR) is an important goal of breeding programs, which will require new genetic resources to be identified and introduced. In this study, we evaluated resistance to P. brassicae race 4 using 26 Chinese cabbage (B. rapa ssp. pekinensis ) cultivars compared to the clubroot-susceptible Chinese cabbage inbred line 'BP079' and the clubroot-resistant European turnip (B. rapa ssp. rapifera ) inbred line 'IT033820'. No symptoms of clubroot disease were found in 'IT033820' infected with P. brassicae race 4, whereas the Chinese cabbage cultivars exhibited disease symptoms to various degrees. The Chinese cabbage cultivars that were reported to be clubroot-susceptible were susceptible to P. brassicae race 4; however, seven of the 20 cultivars reported to be clubroot-resistant were susceptible to this race of P. brassicae to varying degrees. Resting spores of P. brassicae were abundant within the infected root tissues of 'BP079', as revealed by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), but they were not detected in root tissues of 'IT033820'. Although resting spores were not detected by light microscopy in root tissues of the clubroot-resistant Chinese cabbage cultivar 'Kigokoro 75', a few spores were observed by SEM. The $F_1$ hybrids from a cross between 'IT033820' and 'BP079' showed no disease symptoms, and all $BC_1P_1$ progenies from a cross between the $F_1$ hybrid and 'IT033820' exhibited a resistance phenotype. In the $BC_1P_2$ population from a cross between the $F_1$ hybrid and 'BP079', this trait segregated at a ratio of 3(R):1(S) (${\chi}^2=1.333$, p = 0.248) at a 5% significance level. Inoculated $BC_1P_2$ plants were either highly resistant or highly susceptible to the pathogen, indicating that the CR to race 4 of P. brassicae carried by 'IT033820' is dominant. In the $F_2$ population, this trait segregated at a ratio of 15(R):1(S) (${\chi}^2=0.152$, p = 0.696) at a 5% significance level, suggesting that CR in 'IT033820' is mainly controlled by two dominant genes. Therefore, 'IT033820' represents a promising genetic resource for developing durable CR breeding lines in Chinese cabbage.

Plasmodiophora brassicae Woron.에 의한 뿌리혹병은 배추과 작물에 발생하여 전세계적으로 심각한 피해를 주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 뿌리혹병균에 대한 양배추의 저항성 특성을 조사하기 위하여, 일반 품종, 뿌리혹병 저항성(CR) 품종 및 CR 계통 그리고 저항성과 감수성 계통의 교배로부터 얻은 $F_3$ 계통에서 뿌리혹병균 균주들에 의한 뿌리혹병 발생 조사하였다. 국내 시판 중인 일반 양배추 16품종에서 뿌리혹병균 4균주(DJ, HN1, GN1 및 YC)에 의한 뿌리혹병 발생을 조사한 결과, 이들 뿌리혹병균들은 감수성 배추에서는 유사한 뿌리혹병 발생을 보였으나, 양배추 16품종에서는 균주에 따라 뿌리혹병 발생에 큰 차이가 있었다. 양배추에서 병원력이 가장 강한 균주는 YC 균주였고, 그 다음은 GN1, HN1, DJ 균주순이었다. 일반 양배추 품종에서 뿌리혹병 발생이 뿌리혹병균의 병원력에 따라 차이를 보이는 것과 달리, CR 양배추 계통인 'YCR478'과 CR 양배추 2품종은 YC, GN1, HN1 및 DJ 균주를 포함한 뿌리혹병균 12개 균주에 대하여 모두 고도의 저항성을 보였다. 한편, 'YCR478'과 감수성 계통 'C1176'의 교배로부터 얻은 $F_3$ 107계통의 뿌리혹병균 3개 균주에 대한 저항성 차이를 조사한 결과, YC, GN1 및 DJ 균주에 대하여 감수성 반응을 나타내는 $F_3$ 계통은 각각 89, 33, 6개였다. 이와 반대로 이들 균주에 대하여 저항성을 보이는 계통은 각각 6, 36, 67개였다. 이상의 결과로 양배추의 뿌리혹병 저항성은 P. brassicae 균주들의 병원력 정도에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 생각되었다.

The parentage of the horticulturally important pear cultivar 'Niitaka' was confirmed by determining its S-genotypes based on the S-RNase and $PpSFBB^{-{\gamma}}$ genes, and genotyping using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Previous reports suggested that the cultivars 'Amanogawa' and 'Imamuraaki' were the parents of 'Niitaka', although the cultivars 'Chojuro' and 'Shinchu' were also examined as candidate parents, along with two other cultivars. In the present study, the S-genotype of 'Niitaka' was determined to be $S^3S^9$. The $S^9$-RNase of 'Niitaka' was found to be likely inherited from the parent 'Amanogawa' ($S^1S^9$) and the $S^3$-RNase from 'Chojuro' ($S^3S^5$) or 'Shinchu' ($S^3S^5$). Based on the S-genotypes, the cultivar 'Imamuraaki' ($S^1S^6$) had no contribution to the parentage of 'Niitaka' ($S^3S^9$). A total of 67 polymorphic SSR markers were used to further confirm the parentage of 'Niitaka'. Discrepancies were found at several SSR loci between 'Niitaka' and the cultivars 'Imamuraaki' and 'Shinchu', whereas 'Niitaka' inherited alleles from 'Amanogawa' and 'Chojuro' at all SSR loci. Therefore, our findings established that 'Amanogawa' and 'Chojuro' are the parents of pear cultivar 'Niitaka', and not 'Imamuraaki' as previously reported.

본 연구는 원예적 가치가 높은 멸종위기 해안식물인 갯봄맞이(Glaux maritima L.)의 기내번식 체계를 확립하기 위하여 수행되었다. 2009년 개인 원예가로부터 갯봄맞이가 심겨진 화분을 분양 받아 줄기와 꽃의 색을 기준으로 'Red type'(RT)과 'Pistachio type'(PT)으로 구분한 후 본 연구의 식물 재료로 사용하였다. 분양 받은 모식물체는 예전 연구 보고에서와 일치하는 꽃, 삭과 및 종자의 외형을 나타내었다. 기내 파종 후 $4^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 4주 이상 처리하였을 때 종자 발아율이 최대에 달했는데, 이는 종자흡습에 이어서 저온처리가 종자의 발아에 필수적이라는 것을 나타내는 것이다. 기내 실생은 모식물체와 동일하게 'RT'와 'PT' 표현형으로 분리하는 것이 관찰되었다. 새롭게 신장한 액아 유래 신초의 마디 수 합을 기준으로 판단한 증식 효율은 표현형과 배지의 종류에 따라 다소 차이가 있기는 했지만 기내 실생에서 절취한 제4절과 제5절을 배양했을 때 가장 높았다. 더불어, 'RT'와 'PT' 표현형의 마디를 BA $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 단용 배지와 BA $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ + IAA $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 혼용 배지에서 각각 배양하는 것이 신초 분화율을 가장 높였다. 마디배양 유래 유식물체는 배양실에서 양호하게 기외 순화되었고, 비록 내륙 환경에서 담수 관수를 하는 재배법을 사용했지만 염습 자생지에서와 동일하게 유사일년생 생활환을 완성하였다. 본 연구는 갯봄맞이의 기내 번식에 관한 한 최초인 것으로 판단되며 본 연구의 결과는 이 희귀 종의 서식지외 보존, 자생지 복원 및 원예용으로의 개발에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study aimed to determine the effects of floral fragrances on human brain waves and moods. A total of 44 subjects participated in this experiment. Group 1 consisted of 11 male and 14 female college students with a mean age of 24.5 years (${\pm}2.23$) and Group 2 consisted of 10 males and 9 females with a mean age of 54.3 years (${\pm}2.98$). Subjects were exposed to floral fragrances of Rosa hybrida, 'Hera' (hereafter referred to as "rose"), Cymbidium faberi (hereafter referred to as "orchid"), or odorless control flowers (hereafter referred to as "control"). Experiments took place in three rooms (rose, orchid, and control). Electroencephalographs (EEGs) were recorded during exposure to the odors and the data were processed using quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG) techniques. The changing EEG patterns were analyzed by brain mapping and compressed spectral arrays, and the subjects' preferences (hedonic evaluations) were quantified with an A1 index. Increased activation of absolute alpha waves was verified on six of the eight EEG channels, with the right frontal and left occipital lobes exhibiting no changes and the left parietal region showing the greatest activation. According to the QEEG measurements in the electrode sites over the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, the strongest absolute alpha waves were induced in the parietal lobes, followed by the temporal lobes, with the other lobes showing no significant changes. On brain maps, the orchid fragrance induced greater absolute alpha and absolute mid-beta activities compared with the rose and control fragrances, and the rose fragrance induced high absolute mid-beta activation. To identify emotional responses to floral fragrances, the subjects were requested to fill in a questionnaire and the resulting odor-related emotional descriptors were analyzed using semantic differential and factor analysis. Principal component analysis identified "elegant" as the first principal component describing the floral fragrance, followed by "refreshing" and "aromatic." The subjects gave orchid higher scores for "elegant" and "refreshing," while finding rose more "aromatic." Differences in hedonic evaluation revealed by the A1 index appeared in the 65-115 sec range of scent exposure time. The subjects with ages of around 50 years showed olfactory preferences throughout the entire experimental time of 160 sec, most markedly in the later time segment (115-165 sec), showing an increasing preference with increasing exposure time. We conclude that rose fragrance can improve concentration by creating an aromatic environment conducive to a concentrated and calm state of mind, and orchid fragrance can make people feel pampered and relaxed by creating an elegant and refreshing environment.

Irrigation applications (IA) and increased bud load (BL) are fundamental practices that are used to achieve optimum yields in grape production, while maintaining fruit quality parameters. Two different irrigation amounts (IA-I and IA-II) based on growth stages, in addition to a non-irrigated (rain-fed) control, along with two different BL applications [normal bud load based on traditional pruning practices (1BL) and double bud load (2BL)] were evaluated over a two-year experiment for their effects on the biochemical composition of the berries. Berries from the rain-fed vines had higher sugar levels, whereas no significant change was detected in organic acid levels. The increased bud load (2BL) treatment yielded less sugar in the berries compared to the 1BL control in both years. The total non-colored phenolic compounds (NPC) were greater in the irrigated (especially IA-I) and 2BL treatments than in those of the rain-fed and 1BL control. However, total anthocyanin was greater in the non-irrigated and 1BL control than in the irrigated and 2BL treatments. The antioxidant contents of the berries also varied according to the treatments and years. Our results implied that implementing a higher bud load along with the IA-I irrigation application, in which irrigation applications were 50 and 75% of the cumulative evaporation from the Class A pan during berry set to veraison and veraison to harvest growth stages, respectively, can help in obtaining greater yields in high-plateau viticulture. Thus, if more buds are left on the vines, along with sufficient irrigation and rainfall, yield may increase while maintaining or increasing the biochemical composition of the berries.
