This study was conducted to investigate the effect of highland (Daekwallyung, altitude of 800m above sea level) production of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings for retarding culture in lowland (Kangnung, altitude of 20m above sea level). Cucumbers (cv. Jangilbanbaek, Jeongsunyeoreum and Ginseollok) were raised during 25 days from 31st July to 25th August, and then planted under the rain-shelter at Kangnung 25th August. Mean and minimum temperature during raising seedlings at Daekwallyung, $20.9^{\circ}C$ and $16.1^{\circ}C$ were $3.7^{\circ}C$ and $5.3^{\circ}C$ lower than those of Kangnung, respectively. T/R ratio of the seedlings produced at Daekwallyung was lower than that of Kangnung, but chlorophyll contents were higher. Daekwallyung seedlings were higher female/male ratio compared with seedlings from Kangnung. Marketable yield from cucumber seedlings (cv. Jeongsunyeoreum) produced at Daekwallyung was 32% higher than that of Kangnung. These results showed that cucumber seedling raising place was Daekwallyung for the retarding culture during summer season, particularly, and the best cultivars was Baekchim (cv. Jeongsunyeoreum).

The antioxidative activities and biological properties in the EtOAc extracts and purified extracts of Orostachys japonicus were measured by assay of DPPH, xanthine/xanthine oxidase and mammalian cells(2-12). Scavenging of DPPH radical and inhibition of xanthine/xanthine oxidase of EtOAc extracts were showed the highest activity in the arable land and in September. The S-4 fraction showed the highest activity among the silica-gel column chromatography fractions. LH-4 fraction showed higher activity than the other fractionsins in assay of DPPH and xanthine/xanthine oxidase. Fatty acids and phenolic compounds were identified by GC/MS and main compounds were 1,2,3-benzenetriol, alpha-androsta-7,14-diene in LH-4 fraction. The activities of POD and SOD in samples havested on different habitats were high such as arable land> intermountain> seashore. That of POD and SOD in crude extracts of late stage were higher than early stage. Isozyme bands of crude extracts samplinged in all habitats and all growing stages showed two bands and the signal intensity showed strongly according to passage of growing stage. The purified extracts of LH-4 fraction showed excellent inhibition effect in proliferation of HL-60 cells and markedly suppressed colony formation in mouse fibroblast cells. Dose response between partially purified extracts(400ppm) and negative control did not produced statistically significant reduction in colony formation.

Oak mushroom (Lentinus edodes) is cultivated by using oak logs and sawdust medium. Green mold (Trichoderma) infection on these media severely suppresses the growth of oak mushroom. Usages of antibiotics and chemicals are not generally allowed to control of green mold since the mushroom is a fresh food. Tolaasin and its analogues, peptide toxins secreted by Pseudomonas tolaasii, have the antifungal activity and they have been successful to control the green mold disease. When the green mold, Trichoderma harzianum H1, was cultured in the presence of these toxins, the growth of fungus was effectively suppressed. In sawdust media, when the bacterial culture supernatants were sprayed on the aerial hyphae of green molds, the fungal growth was completely suppressed. Particularly, the antifungal activity was greatly increased by the combined culture extracts of P. tolaasii 6264 and HK11 strains. Therefore, these bacterial strains and their peptide toxins were able to suppress the growth of green molds and these can be good candidates to prevent from Trichoderma disease in oak mushroom cultivation.

Germination test, nutrient culture test and pot experiment were conducted to determine selectivity of naproanilide between rice plants and paddy weeds. Naproanilide more severely inhibited growth of Scirpus juncoides, Sagittaria pygmaea and Cyerus serotinus than that of rice plant and Echinochloa crus-galli at germination stage. Root growth was severely inhibited than that of shoot growth by naproanilide treatment. Naproanilide severely inhibited rice plant and Echinochloa crus-galli at 30 uM, Sagittaria pygmaea at 1 uM and Cyperus serotinus at 10 uM in nutrient culture test, Rice plant and Echinochloa crus-galli did not show the difference of tillers and dry weight, but Scirpus juncoides, Morzochoria vaginalis and Aneilema keisak were severely inhibited at 15g/a and Sagittaria pygmaea and Cyperus serotinus at 30g/a in pot trial.

This study was conducted to develop labor and chemical cultural practice improvement for weed control in ginseng field. Five crop species were screened in vitro and three crop extracts were sprayed in the test allelopathic effect for weed species. Methyl alcohol extracts of rice, oat, rye and wheat straw showed inhibitory effect on the germination of six weed species, Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium album, Arthraxon hispidus, Digitaria adscendens, Echinochloa crus-galli, and Setaria viridis. Especially, extract of oat straw was most effective to inhibit the germination of six weed species tested. Also, spraying the extract solution of rice, rye and wheat straw was effective to inhibit the growth of weeds in ginseng field. Ginseng root length, diameter, fresh and dry weight in extract spraying plot were higher than those of non-treatment plot.

Ultraviolet B (UV-B) irradiation is a negative factor that induces skin damage, inflammation, and aging. UVB irradiation induces the inflammatory response through interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 expression in keratinocytes. In addition, it induces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the activation of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), which plays an important role in collagen 1 degradation in the extracellular matrix. We investigated the antiaging effects of five kinds of berry in human skin keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells using juice of black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis), blueberry wild (Vacciniun angustifolium) and cultivar (Vacciniun corymbosum), black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott), and mulberry (Morus abla). HaCaT cells irradiated with UV-B exhibited increased ROS generation, as well as IL-6, IL-8, and MMP-1 gene expression, when compared to the control cells that were not irradiated with UV-B. However, pre-treatment of berry juice before UV-B irradiation significantly down-regulated the UV-B-induced ROS generation and inflammatory cytokine and MMP-1 expression. The results suggest that all berries have anti-aging effects including lowering inflammatory cytokine levels, ROS generation, and MMP-1 expression in HaCaT cells during UV-B irradiation.

Weight-loss, general-appearante, yellowing, and compositions such as chlorophyll, carotenoid, vitamin C and nitrate, were studied to investigate the influence of pre-(cultivar and growing season) and post-(low-temperature and high-density polyethylene film packaging) harvest factors on the shelf-life and quality of leaf lettuce(Lactuca sativa L). Weight-loss was reduced by the treatment of high-density polyethylene film packaging, and more at $0{\sim}1^{\circ}C$ than $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$. Leaf-lettuce grown in Winter lost less fresh weight than that grown in Autumn. In experiment on difference between cultivars, the reduction of weight-loss in 'Cheongchima' lettuce was somewhat significant than that in 'Jeokchukmyeon' lettuce. The tendency of changes in general appearance was similar to that of weight-loss. The yellowing of leaf lettuce during the storage was caused by chlorophyll degradation. Vitamin C content before the storage was 128.0 mg/100 g FW. in lettuce grown in Winter, 123.8 mg/100g FW. in that grown in Autumn, and more 'Cheongchima' lettuce than 'Jeokchukmyeon' lettuce. In all treatment, vitamin C content decreased rapidly, and this tendency was more obvious at $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ than $0{\sim}1^{\circ}C$. The nitrate content of 'Jeokchukmyeon' was 3812.6 ppm and that of 'Cheongchima' was 2855.6 ppm before the storage. Nitrate content decreased more at $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ than $0{\sim}1^{\circ}C$ during the storage.

우리나라에서 여름철 기상의 특징은 고온다습하면서 년중 강우량의 60-70%가 집중되어 과채류 재배시 효과적으로 강우를 차단할 수 있고, 고온다습을 자연환기로 최대한 억제토록한 성력화된 간이시설이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 여름철의 과다한 강우피해를 극복하고, 강우를 차단한 재배기술이 비가림재배법이며 간이한 시설로 강우를 차단하여 수량과 품질향상을 위한 노력이 80년대 중반부터 급격히 증가하였으나 간이시설내 환경불량을 개선하고자 하는 노력은 전무하다시피 하였다. (중략)

미스티블루는 안개초와 함께 배경화로서 널리 이용되는 꽃으로 사계성이지만 한 여름철에는 추대본수가 감소하고 봄, 가을에 분지가 활발히 이루어진다. 한 번 정식한 묘를 보통 3년간 재배 하고 있는데 시장의 꽃가격에 맞춰 개화기를 다양하게 조절하고 있다. 보통 비가림하우스 재배시 6월 ∼ 10월 사이에 개화하는데 여름철 고온에 의해 품질이 저하되고 있다. 본 실혐은 시설내에서 미스티블루 재배시 잡초의 발생을 억제하오 절화의 품질을 향상시키고자 몇가지 토양피복제를 처리하여 그 효과를 구명하고자 실시하였다. (중략)

시설호박은 재배작형이 매우 다양하여 시설억제, 촉성, 반촉성 및 시설조숙 재배 등으로 실시된다. 또한 재배 품종도 애호박, 풋호박 및 츄키니 호박 등 소비 경향에 따라 다양한 양상을 보인다. 시설호박의 암꽃분화는 저온단일에서 유기되지만 수확하기 위해서는 개화 당일 오전 8시 이전에 수분이 제대로 되어야 하고 일기불순, 질소과다, 고온관리, 밀식 및 정지불량 등은 낙화나 낙과의 원인이 된다. (중략)
