Due to complicate canopy structures of Irwin mangoes grown in greenhouses, it is difficult to determine their growth parameters accurately. Leaf area, leaf fresh weight, and leaf dry weight are widely used as indicators to diagnose the tree growth. Therefore, it is necessary to establish models that can non-destructively estimate these growth indicators. The objective of this study was to establish regression models to estimate leaf area, leaf fresh weight, and leaf dry weight of Irwin mangoes (Mangifera indica L. cv. Irwin) by using leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, and SPAD value. The input values of leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, and SPAD value of 6-year old Irwin mangoes were measured, and the corresponding output values of leaf area, leaf fresh weight, and leaf dry weight were also measured. After 14 models were selected among the existing models, coefficients of the models were estimated by regression analysis. Three models with higher $R^2$ and lower RMSE values selected. In validation the $R^2$ values for the selected models were 0.967, 0.743, and 0.567 in the leaf area, leaf fresh weight, and leaf dry weight models, respectively. It is concluded that this models will be helpful to conveniently diagnose the growth of the Irwin mango.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the individual glucosinolate (GSL), total phenol, total flavonoid, and vitamin C content, and antioxidant activity under various light quality condition, mainly focusing on red (R) to far-red (FR) light ratios in three Brassica sprouts (radish, Chinese cabbage, and broccoli). Three R/FR ratio of 0.6, 1.3, and 2.0 were exposed to 5-day old sprouts for 48 h in a controlled environment, and the targeted phytochemical contents and antioxidant activities were compared with three separate control plot of dark, fluorescent, and red:blue 8:2 conditions. Total GSL content was highest in broccoli among the cultivars throughout the respective treatments, and increased with the increasing of R/FR ratio in the broccoli sprouts, while the content showed non-significant results in the Chinese cabbage sprouts. The progoitrin, a major GSL in Chinese Cabbage and broccoli, content decreased by upto 38% and 69%, respectively, with decreasing the R/FR ratio compared to the control plots (fluorescent, red:blue 8:2, and dark condition). The contents of phenol, flavonoid, and vitamin C were lowest in dark condition in all the three Brassica sprouts. The total phenol content and antioxidant activities increased with decreasing the R/FR ratio in all the Brassica sprouts, while total flavonoid and vitamin C content showed different patterns depending upon the Brassica sprouts. These results suggest that additional use of FR is expected to improve the functional quality of Brassica sprouts in different ways.

This study was conducted to evaluate on the freezing tolerance of introduced blueberry cultivars in Korea and to investigate availability of portable timber moisture meter for simple and rapid diagnosis of blueberry-shoot damage by freezing during wintering. Frost tolerance of blueberry cultivars showed big difference that rates of blueberry-shoot death were widely distributed from about 0% to 100% after wintering. Optical density in TTC reduction of blueberry twig treated low temperature was low in order of $-40^{\circ}C$ < $-21^{\circ}C$ < $4^{\circ}C$. Hardiness evaluation of visible injury in the cross-sectional surface color did not agree with that of rates of blueberry-shoot death during wintering. Lowest water content of blueberry stem measured by timber moisture tester during wintering was about 15%. During wintering, water contents of blueberry stems were higher at lower part of tree, but were low at end part of stems, and then when the blueberry grew again for spring, the water content gradually increased to 20~40%. Water content of blueberry stem with freezing injury during wintering decreased to under 5% by desiccation. Therefore it is assummed that the moisture content of blueberry stem injured by freezing during wintering was about under 14%, and it is expected that portable timber moisture meter could be available for rapid diagnosis of blueberry freezing injury in field.

'Gangha' is new strawberry ($Fragaria{\times}ananassa$ Duch.) cultivar, which was released by National Institute of Highland Agriculture, RDA, in 2008. In 2004, this cultivar was originated from a cross between 'Samahberi' and 'Elan' and showed excellent ever-bearing characteristics including continuous flowering habit, high yield under long-day and high temperature condition. It was named 'Saebong No.2' after examining its characteristic and productivity in summer culture from 2006 to 2007. Again, after two regional adaptability tests in 2008, 'Gangha' was selected as an elite cultivar. The general characteristics of 'Gangha' include semi-spreading type, middle vigor, elliptic leaf, and long cluster in growth. The fruit shape is oval and fruit color is red. Fruit quality had 1ow activity, hardness but high soluble solids contents. This average fruit weight of 'Gangha' is about 12.0 g and the marketable yield is relatively high because of more flower cluster appearance. It is resistant against powdery mildew, anthracnose, and fusarium wilt. 'Gangha' is suitable for summer culture using domestic consumption because it is shows continuous flowering habit, high yield, and fruit quality under long-day and high temperature condition.

The objective of this research was to elucidate the physicochemical, structural, pasting and rheological properties of potato starch isolated from a foreign potato cultivar ('Atlantic') and new domestic potato cultivars ('Goun', 'Sebong', and 'Jinsun'). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D NMR) showed that the structural properties of potato starch did not vary significantly with cultivars. RVA analysis demonstrated that the 'Atlantic' starch had the highest breakdown viscosity among all potato starches. In steady shear rheological analysis, all potato starch dispersions showed shear-thinning behaviors (n =0.63-0.72) at $25^{\circ}C$. The highest apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,5}$), consistency index (K), and yield stress (${\sigma}_{oc}$) were observed in the 'Goun' starch dispersion. In dynamic shear rheological analysis, storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") values of new domestic potato starch dispersions were higher than those of the 'Atlantic' starch dispersion.

This study analyzed the effect on weight and average daily gain, carcass grade, and blood characteristics and immunity in case of dietary addition of pegmatite to Hanwoo steers. Relative to Hanwoo steers, initial body weight was $257.3{\pm}11.74kg$ (8-months old after birth). Forty-eight Hanwoo steers were fed for 24 months using random arrangement (4 treatment plots${\times}$4 heads${\times}$3 repeat). The treatment plot (498.75~500.82 kg) had higher weight during the early fattening stage compared with that of the control plot (474.37 kg) (p<0.05). Regarding total cholesterol of the blood, the value was similar to one during initiation of testing, but the value increased gradually based on the progress of fattening. In addition, the triglyceride was considerably low in T2~T3 plots with high addition of pegmatite during the late fattening stage compared with other treatment plots (p<0.05). This study revealed a tendency in the IgG content that represented immunity as the addition of pegmatite became higher (p>0.05). This study found that the treatment plot (441.55~452.10 kg) had higher carcass weight compared with the control plot (436.30 kg). However, this study revealed that the treatment plot (2.30~2.55 points) had higher carcass quantity grade compared with the control plot (2.11 points). This study found that the control plot (3.55 points) had higher carcass quality grade compared with the treatment plot (2.67~3.09 points) (p>0.05). With studies combined, it was determined that dietary addition of pegmatite to the feed as clay minerals in fattening Hanwoo steers would improve feed intake, body weight gain and carcass quantity grade.

This study evaluated the baby-leaf growth, leaf red color intensity, and phytochemical compounds, such as total phenols and total flavonoids using domestic Amaranthus accessions, to select promising germplasm for the use of baby-leaf vegetable. The 39 accessions, upper 15% of 262 Amaranthus germplasm collection showing high red color intensity in baby-leaf, measured as Hunter's a value, were primarily selected. The eleven accessions including IT199970, showing stable red color intensity in baby-leaf both in high-temperature and low temperature cultivation, were finally selected as promising germplasm for the use of baby-leaf vegetable Amaranthus. The leaf red color intensities when they were cultivated at low temperature period were generally higher than those at low temperature period, and all the eleven selected germplasm, including four Amaranthus sub-species and five unknown species, showed stable red color expression in baby-leaf. The total phenol and total flavonoid contents were also presented for finally selected germplasm including their baby-leaf fresh weights. These finally selected germplasm could be potentially used as baby-leaf vegetable resources, through fortifying the color balance of salad vegetable.

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a major disease that affects tomato plants widely. R. solanacearum is a soil born pathogen which limits the disease control measures. Therefore, breeding of resistant tomato variety to this disease is important. To identify the susceptible variety, degree of disease resistance has to be determined. In this study, micro sap flow sensor is used for accurate prediction of resistant degree. The sensor is designed to measure sap flow and water use in stems of plants. Using this sensor, the susceptibility to bacterial wilt disease can be identified two to three days prior to the onsite of symptoms after innoculation of R. solanacearum. Thus, this find of diagnosis approach can be utilized for the early detection of bacterial wilt disease.

Huge amount of persimmon peels, which are byproducts usually arising after making dried persimmons from fresh persimmons, are generated in fall, every year. As the dry matter of persimmon peel contains carbohydrates over 80%, it could be a good candidate for feed. In this study, we evaluated the persimmon peel as a feed resource for a hen laying eggs. Persimmon peel has lower ratio of crude protein and fat composition while higher ratio of crude fiber composition compared to a basal laying hen feed. Feeding the persimmon peel by adding to the feed at the level of 2% or 5% did not affect the egg-laying rate from beginning to the peak of laying. In addition, feeding the persimmon peel did not affect the egg quality either, as the pH, Haugh unit, yolk color and shell thickness of the egg were not different from each other. The composition of amino acids and fatty acids were also almost same for each other, except for the linolenic acid which was slightly higher in the persimmon peel feeding groups. In conclusion, addition of persimmon peel to the feed up to 5% might be helpful to increase the income and reduce the waste produced from the agricultural byproduct.
