This research was conducted to know the appropriate leaf number of scion for tube grafting in context with survival rate and quality of seedlings, and early yield of $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ cluster of cherry tomato plants. Scions were grafted when having leaves 1~2 (LF-2), 2~3 (LF-3), or 3~4 (LF-4). The treatment LF-3 showed the highest survival rates and the best results in 6 factors among 12 seedling quality factors. In case of early yield, the treatment LF-2 showed higher yield than others with the big difference. Economic analysis showed that LF-3 is desirable in case of nursery while LF-2 is better in case of farmers. The compromising solution is that farmers buy a little expensive seedlings grafted at the leaf stage of 1~2 from nurseries in terms of win/win strategy.

This study was conducted to seek optimum sowing time and pinching height for tender shoots production of moloheiya (Corchorus olitorius L.), which is a subtropical leaf vegetables, under an unheated greenhouse in the south of Korea. Seeds of moloheiya did not germinate at all at $10^{\circ}C$, but germinated well at $18{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ with 95.5~98.5% germination rate. Germination rate was 75.0% at $15^{\circ}C$, but germination speed was very low. The pods of moloheiya sown before April 28 was matured after late-August, but those sown after May 7 was not matured in that year. In tender shoot production and harvest frequency, treatment sown on April 14 was most plentiful among sowing time treatments, and showed marketable yield increase by 14~42% compared to other sowing times. Mean-while, pinching at 100cm high from soil surface was more effective than other heights for increment of branches and tender shoot. All above suggest that it was suitable to sow seed on mid-April and to pinch at 100cm high from soil surface for increment of tender shoots in the south of Korea.

Appropriate pruning is very important for southern highbush blueberries cultivated in a heated plastic house to control their severe crowding within the bush canopy after harvest. Pruning treatments at different times were evaluated to find out an appropriate pruning time to southern highbush 'Scintilla' cultivation with heating. Seven-year-old (2018) bushes, grown in 180-L containers, were summer-pruned on May 20 (35-39 days after harvest) and June 20, or dormant-pruned on December 20 (5 days before flowering), consecutively in both 2018 and 2019 removing 30% of the total woods. May pruning activated occurrence of shoots the following years, increasing number of shoot by 17 to 49% and total shoot length by 18 to 32% compared with those of the dormant pruning. Fruit characteristic was not significantly affected by different pruning times the previous year. The first year pruning treatment did not influence the yield the following year, but the second year consecutive May pruning significantly increased yield per bush by 7% compared with the dormant pruning. The results indicated that summer pruning in May could be favorable to promote shoot growth and to maintain stable yield.

To assess the relationship between anti-oxidant and immunomodulatory activities of Diospyros kaki Thunb. fruit, we harvested persimmons on the first Friday of every month from July to October, and conducted a DPPH assay, a T-bet promoter assay, and an ELISA for IL-4 determination. Anti-oxidant activity increased as fruit weight rose. When the fruit was extracted with five different solvents, and the extracts examined for radical scavenging activity, such activity exhibited a pattern similar to that seen when anti-oxidant activity was assessed. T-bet promoter activity decreased on ripening, whereas IL-4 expression increased, as tested in a DNFB-induced animal model. Collectively, the results suggest that inflammation-inhibitory activity, valuable in treatment of some immune diseases, rises as persimmons ripen.

The experiment was carried out to examine the effects of planting date on the growth and marketable yield of bitter gourd grown in rain-shield plastic houses. Bitter gourd cv 'Dragon' seedlings were separately transplanted during the months of June, July and August, 2015. The training method of all plants was made with four lateral vines and pinching the main vine. Lateral length of plants exhibited no significant difference between each planting date. However, bitter gourd planted in June had significantly higher main stem diameter than those treatments planted on August. The application of planting date was found effective in increasing marketable yield and number of fruits. June, as a planting date, had the highest marketable yield (6,439kg/10a), whereas bitter gourd planted in August had the lowest yield (870kg/10a) which were also consistent in terms of the number of fruits. Fruit length and diameter had no significant differences as affected by treatments. Therefore, planting date of bitter gourd in June was effective in increasing yield of fruit in rain-shield plastic house conditions.

본 연구에서는 벼 생육시기별로 염수 관개가 벼 작물에 미치는 생육 영향정도(민감도)를 평가하기 위하여 벼 재배실험(포트실험)을 수행하였다. 벼 재배실험은 일반 논토양(삼광벼)과 간척 논토양(신동진벼)을 대상으로 하였고, 벼 생육시기는 이앙기~활착기, 활착기~유수형성기, 유수형성기~수잉기, 수잉기~출수기, 등숙기의 5단계로 구분하였다. 벼 재배는 3반복 실험을 위해 총 126개의 포트(Φ215×Φ170×210mm(H))를 조성하여 5월 20일에 1주 3본으로 이앙을 하였다. 물 관개방식은 생육시기별로 염도를 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500 ppm으로 조절한 각각의 염수를 관개하고, 그 이외의 기간에는 담수(지하수)를 관개하였다. 벼 생육시기별로 염수 관개에 의한 벼 생육에 대한 민감도를 평가하고자 벼의 초장, 분얼수, 수확량을 조사하였다. 간척 논토양에서 초장, 분얼수는 생육초기인 이앙기의 염수에 의해 가장 민감하게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났고, 수확량은 이앙기, 분얼기, 유수형성기 순으로 민감하게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 일반 논토양에서는 초장, 분얼수는 생육시기에 따른 염수관개에 의한 영향이 크지 않았으며, 수확량은 염분농도에 관계없이 이앙기, 분얼기, 유수형성기 순으로 염수에 의해 민감하게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 다수의 선행연구(Hassen Ebrahimi 등, 2011)의 벼 생육기인 분얼기, 유수형성기의 염수 관개가 수확량에 가장 많은 영향을 받는 결과와 일치하였다. 일반 논토양과 간척 논토양 모두 이앙기, 분얼기, 유수형성기 순으로 염수 관개에 민감한 영향을 나타내고 있으며, 특히 염분 배경농도가 높은 간척토양은 저농도의 염수에서도 민감한 반응을 보이고 있는 것으로 나타나, 벼 생육초기의 관개용수 염도관리는 매우 중요하다고 판단된다.

This study was conducted to find out optimum fruiting node order, pinching node order, and harvesting time in hydroponics using coir substrates to produce high quality melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit. Three plants per coir slab (100 × 20 × 10 cm) were planted for each treatment. Yamazaki standard nutrient solutions for melon were supplied with 1.8, 2.0, and 2.3 dS·m^-1 at the early, middle (fruit enlargement step), and late growth stages, respectively. Two cultivars of 'PMR Dalgona' and 'Earl's Aibi' were used for fruiting node order and pinching node order experiments. Fruiting node treatments were conducted three replications (8-10 ^th, 11-13 ^th, and 14-15 ^th nodes) and pinching node treatments treated with three replications (18 ^th, 21 ^th, and 24 ^th nodes). Two cultivars of 'PMR Dalgona' and 'Earl's Crown' were used for fruit harvesting time experiment and treated with in four replications (45, 50, 55, and 60 days after fruiting). In growth characteristics, the leaf width and leaf area of 'PMR Dalgona' were the greatest 28.2 cm and 10,845 ㎠. Respectively, 11-13 ^th fruiting nodes or more. The node length of 'Earl's Aibi' was the longest by 147.6 cm at 11-13 ^th fruiting nodes. For fruit quality characteristics, the fruit weight of 'Earl's Aibi' at 11-13 ^th fruiting node fruiting was the greatest by 2.0 kg. The soluble solids content (SSC) of 'PMR Dalgona' was the highest by 14.5 °Brix at 8-10 ^th nodes in fruiting node orders and 14.5 °Brix at the 24 ^th pinching node order, respectively with significant difference. The SSC tends to increase in the same for both cultivars of 'PMR Dalgona' and 'Earl's Aibi' as the position of fruiting node was lower. The SSC and fruit weight of melon harvested at 55-60 days after fruiting was the best. From the results of this study, most of SSC tends to increase in the lower position of fruiting node order and the higher pinching node order, whereas the fruit weight shows a tendency of increasing with higher fruiting node. In addition, the SSC of fruit increased as the number of days after fruiting increased, and further research is needed for more various cultivars. In melon hydroponics using coir substrates, it is needed to figure out the characteristics of each cultivar to determine optimum fruiting node order, pinching node order, and fruit harvest time.

표고(Lentinula edodes (Berk.))는 담자균강 주름버섯목 느타리과 잣버섯속에 속하는 식용버섯으로 봄에서 가을에 걸쳐 주로 재배하며, 예부터 식용 및 약용으로 널리 이용되어져 왔다. 우리나라를 비롯하여 일본, 중국 등의 동남아시아 지역뿐만 아니라 최근에는 미국, 캐나다 및 네덜란드 등의 서구 나라에서도 관심이 높으며, 전 세계적으로 중요한 식용 버섯으로써 주목을 받고 있다. 표고는 혈중 콜레스테롤 수준의 감소, 항당뇨, 혈압조절, 면역증강, 간 보호 및 비만 억제 등의 다양한 생리활성이 밝혀져 있어 현대인의 식생활에서 수요가 더욱 증가되고 있는 추세에 있다. 버섯의 생육은 크게 균사의 생장과 자실체의 생육으로 구분되는데, 표고 균사의 배양 기간이 86~123일 정도 소요되며, 자실체의 생육 기간은 10~20일 정도로, 균사의 배양 기간이 훨씬 긴 것으로 나타났다. 버섯의 생육 단계에서 영양, 생식, 생장은 모두 수분으로부터 비롯되며, 생육 조건, 조도, 환기 정도 등에 따라 버섯의 품질은 상당한 차이를 보일 수 있다. 일반적으로 봄에 수확한 표고는 대가 짧고 단단하며 감칠맛이 풍부하며, 가을에 수확한 표고는 대가 길고 육질이 부드럽고 비교적 강수량이 높아 수분함량이 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 현상은 표고의 수확 시기에 따라 기후, 온도, 강수량 등의 차이가 이화학적 특성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되어, 본 연구에서는 봄과 가을에 각각 표고를 수확하여 이화학적 특성 및 기능성성분을 비교하였다. 분석결과 가을에 수확한 표고가 봄에 수확한 표고에 비해 수분, β-glucan, ergosterol 그리고 ergothioneine 함량이 유의적으로 높게 나타나, 소재 개발 시에 경제적 경쟁력을 고려했을 때 가을에 수확한 표고 활용이 유리할 것으로 고려된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of delayed controlled atmosphere (CA) storage on fruit quality and the incidence of storage disorders during CA storage of 'Fuji' apples (Malus x domestica Borkh.). In the first year of experiment, 'Fuji' apples showed 40% of watercore disorder at the commercial harvest time (Oct. 22). Twenty days delayed CA storage caused to develop the incidence of flesh browning while 30 days delayed CA storage did not. In the second year of experiment, watercore was increased with delaying harvest time. As the estabilishment of delayed CA storage was delayed, the incidence of flesh browning increased at 10 to 30 days delayed CA storage but 40 days delayed CA storage did not have any flesh browning incidence. Respiration rate increased with extending the storage duration. Delayed CA storage reduced respiration rate but was not different compared to the rapid CA. Ethylene production rate was lower in delayed CA storage than in cold storage but higher in delayed CA storage, compared to rapid CA storage. Titratable acidity was lower in delayed CA storage as CA storage progressed. Firmness was not different between rapid CA storage and delayed CA storage after 8 months of CA storage. Therefore, the results indicate that delayed CA storage should be a promising approach to reduce the risk development of flesh browning and watercore during CA storage of 'Fuji' apples.
