This study was carried out to investigate the optimum temperature and the cultivation period according to the different growth stages of Gastrodia elata (G. elata). The growth period for the indoor cultivation of G. elata is divided into four stages that require specific temperatures during the enlargement of the tuber. The optimum temperatures and cultivation periods during the growth stages of G. elata were observed to be $20^{\circ}C$ for 30 days during the mycelial growth stage (MGS), $25^{\circ}C$ for 120 days during the tuber formation stage (TFS), $6-24^{\circ}C$ for 60 days during the tuber enlargement stage (TES), and $5^{\circ}C$ for 30 days during the dormant stage (DS). The total cultivation period was shortened by 120 days in the indoor cultivation facilities by reduction of 30 days from the mycelial growth stage, addition of 30 days to the tuber formation stage, and reduction of 120 days from the dormancy stage as compared to the outdoor field cultivation. These results provide a basis for a growth model that permits year-round cultivation of G. elata.

Planting date shift is one of the means of adapting to climate change in Kimchi Cabbage growers in major production areas in Korea. This study suggests a method to estimate the potential yield of Kimchi Cabbage based on daily temperature accumulation during the growth period from planting to maturity which is determined by a plant phenology model tuned to Kimchi Cabbage. The phenology model converts any changes in the thermal condition caused by the planting date shift into the heat unit accumulation during the growth period, which can be calculated from daily temperatures. The physiological maturity is estimated by applying this model to a variable development rate function depending either on growth or heading stage. The cabbage yield prediction model (Ahn et al., 2014) calculates the potential yield of summer cabbage by accumulating daily heat units for the growth period. We combined these two models and applied to the 1km resolution climate scenario (2000-2100) based on RCP8.5 for South Korea. Potential yields in the current normal year (2001-2010) and the future normal year (2011-2040, 2041-2070, and 2071-2100) were estimated for each grid cell with the planting dates of July 1, August 1, September 1, and October 1. Based on the results, we divided the whole South Korea into 810 watersheds, and devised a three - dimensional evaluation chart of the time - space - yield that enables the user to easily find the optimal planting date for a given watershed. This method is expected to be useful not only for exploring future new cultivation sites but also for developing cropping systems capable of adaptation to climate change without changing varieties in existing production areas.

Lactic acid bacteria with amylolytic and acid producing activities can ferment starch directly to lactic acid thereby producing a monomer for the production of biodegradable poly lactic acid (PLA). In this study, the strain producing L-lactic acid from soluble starch was isolated from Nuruk. The isolated strain was identified as Enterococcus sp. through its morphological, cultural, biochemical characteristics as well as the 16S rDNA sequence analysis, and named Enterococcus sp. JA-27. Enterococcus sp. JA-27 produced exclusively L-lactic acid from soluble starch as a carbon source. The optimal conditions for the maximum production of L-lactic acid from Enterococcus sp. JA-27 were 30 C, pH 8, 1.5 % soluble starch as a substrate and 3.5 % tryptone as a nitrogen source, 0.1 % $K_2$$HPO_4$, 0.04 % $MgSO_4$. $7H_2$O, 0.014 % $MnSO_4$$.$4$H_2O$, 0.004% $FeSO_4$$.$$7H_2$O. Batch and fed batch culture were carried out and the former was more effective. L-Lactic acid production in the optimum medium was significantly increased in a 7 L jar fermenter, where the maximum L-lactic acid concentration was 3 g/L. For the purification of lactic acid in fermented broth, two stage ionexchange column chromatographies were employed and finally identified by HPLC.

Streptococcus diacetylactis and Leuconostoc cremoris were isolated from commercial culture and the effects of culture conditions on the diacetyl production by these strains and their mixture(1:1) were investigated. Optimum temperatures and culture times for the diacetyl production by Str. diacetylactis, Leu, cremoris and their mixture were 60hr at $22^{\circ}C$(diacetyl content, 2.24ppm), 48hr at $22^{\circ}C$(2.29ppm) and 48hr at $22^{\circ}C$ (2.21ppm), respectively Optimum initial pH for the diacetyl production by Str. diacetylactis, Leu. cremoris and the mixture were all 4.8(4.32, 6.66, 7.30ppm, respectively) and optimum sodium citrate concentrations(%, w/v) were 0.30(2.58ppm), 0.1(2.54ppm) and 0.1(2.52ppm), respectively. The diacetyl contents were gradually increased according as inoculation rates(%, w/v) were increased. The amounts of diacetyl produced under optimum conditions at 24hr incubation by Str. diacetylactis, Leu. cremoris and the mixture were 4.40, 6.59 and 7.25ppm, respectively. The most effective factor affecting diacetyl production under optimum condition was pH.

Since the growth and quality of oak mushrooms are sensitively affected by environmental conditions, an adequate environmental control is very essential to improve the yield and quality under protected cultivation. In this study, the diameter, thickness, length and hardness of cap and stipe, the dry weight, fresh weight and moisture content of the mushrooms were analyzed under the environmental conditions such as night air temperatures (control, $5{\~}11^{\circ}C$ and $12{\~}18^{\circ}C$), relative humidities in the daytime (control, humidifying for 6 h and 12 h), and wind velocities (control, fan-operation for 6 h and 12 h). At a lower night temperature, the quality of the mushrooms was improved, and considered to be optimum at $3{\~}8^{\circ}C$ in terms of fresh weight and quality. At $70{\~}80{\%}$ of relative humidity in the daytime, the fresh weight was increased, but the quality decreased. Considering the quality, the relative humidity in the daytime is adequate at around $50{\%}$. At 6 h of maintaining the wind velocity at $1{\~}2\;my{\cdot}s^{-1}$, the growth and quality were better, but the lightness became higher at 12 h although the fresh weight was reduced by evaporation. It is concluded that even though both of the yield and quality are not easily improved at a same time, optimum approaches should be required by using the relationship among environmental factors and the growth and quality.

A bacterium which grows on D-$\alpha$-Amino-$\varepsilon$-Caprolactam as sole carbon, energy and nitrogen source was isolated from the sludge of industrial areas in Taegu, and identified as Alcaligenes eutrophus. The optimum pH, temperature and concentration of D-$\alpha$-Amino-$\varepsilon$-Caprolactam for the growth were 6.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 0.2% respectively. The bacteria could utilize glucose and fructose as a carbon source, and utilize ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate and sodium nitrate as a nitrogen source, and utilize L-Iysine and L-glutamate as a carbon and nitrogen source. It was found with thin layer chromatography and polarimeter that D-$\alpha$-Amino-$\varepsilon$-Caprolactam was converted to L-Iysine by the cell-free extracts of Alcaligenes eutrophus A52.

In this study, germination characteristics and herbicidal response of green kyllinga(Kyllinga brevifolia var. leiolepsis H.) were investigated. The storage method desirable for a rapid dormancy release was to keep the seed under low temp. and wetting condition for one to two months, or high temp($40^{\circ}C$) and drying condition for three months. The dormancy of rhizome was hardly observed. The optimum temperature for germination of seed and rhizome was around $30^{\circ}C$ and 16-$20^{\circ}C$, repectively. The germination of dormancy-breaked seed was completely dependent on light. Shoot emergence ratio(%) was decreased with increase of planting depth ; for example, only 18% of rhizome segments planted in the depth of 4cm under soil surface emerged above soil surface. Flooding at earlier growth stage resulted in significant decrease in shoot emergence as well as in dry weight. The germinablity of rhizome was almost lost as a decreased in fresh weight reached to 50%. Usually, green kyllinga was sensitive to herbicides such as bentazone, bensulfuron and benfuresate etc. which were known to be effective in Cyperaceae weeds, indicating that green kyllinga can be used as a representative plant in the screening of herbicides for Cyperus weeds.
