The commercial product "pyto-patch" prepared as nano sized silver particle less than 5 nm, has effective antifungal activity against Collectotrichum gloeosporioides, Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in vitro. As a fungal growth inhibiton mechanism, it can reduce spore germination rate and mycelial growth. As s promising fungicide, Phyto-patch can control anthracnose effectively. The spore of C. gloeosporioides dipped in 5 ppm phyto-patch dilute suppressed germination rate to 13.2%, and mycelial growth stopped for 15 days at 10 ppm. The spore postinoculated on 10 ppm phyto-path smeared PDA surface could not germinate for 3 days and prohibit pathogen infection effectively. In field test, the anthracnose development of 4 ppm phyto-patch treated plot was less than 7% after 21 days compaired to 40% of it in untreated plot. In heavy rainfall season, pepper anthracnose effectivly contrrolled by regular 10 ppm phytopatch spraying every 7 days. The diseased pepper fruit decreased to 5.8% compaired to 94.6% in untreated plot. During drying period, the diseased pepper fruit havested in phyto-patch treated plot was 24.2%, but pepper fruit havested in untreated plot destroyed to 100% within 3 days. The nano silver particle coated on multching textile prevented late blight of pepper effectively and disease occurance delayed about month.

Twelve Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolates were isolated from genetically modified (GM) and non-GM Capsicum annuum in two GM fields, Namyangju and Anseong, and their properties were investigated in this study. Coat protein (CP) gene of the CMV isolates were synthesized by RT-PCR using genus-specific primers which designed to amplify a DNA fragment of 950 bp. Purified cDNA fragments were cloned into the pGEMT easy vector for sequence determination. Nucleotide sequences (internal 657 bp) of CMV isolates were compared with Fny-CMV CP sequences and there were no significant collection site specific sequence similarities found. When predicted amino acid sequences (219 amino acids) were compared with Fny-CMV CP amino acids sequences, there were 96.8% to 97.3% similarities found from Namyangju collections and 95.9% to 96.8% similarities from Anseong collections. The phylogenetic analysis with nucleotide sequences showed definite differences in CMVs which have been isolated from the two regions.

The cDNA of tobacco mosaic virus-pepper strain (TMV-P) coat protein (CP) genes were introduced into tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun nn) using a binary Ti plasmid vector of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. these cDNAs introduced into tobacco plants were detected by polymerase chain reaction. Symptom development was distinctly suppressed in the transgenic plant introduced buy sense CP cDNA when the plant was inoculated with TMV-P, while in transgenic tobacco plants of antisense CP gene, symptom development was not suppressed as in non-transgenic plants. TMV-P concentration in the sense CP transgenic tobacco plant was decreased to 1/14 of the concentration in non-transgenic plants. Expression of the kanamycin resistance gene of these transgenic plants could be detected in the progeny.

In this study, experiments were performed for various drying air temperatures, air flow rates tray distance to analyze drying characteristics of batch type tunnel dryer. In comparison of tunnel drying with cabinet drying which is currently used in the farm, the results of drying simulation model of cabinet dryer was used and then the possibility of applying the drying simulation model of cabinet dryer to batch type tunnel dryer was investigated. The results showed that as the drying temperature increased, the drying rte and moisture difference in the direction of air flow increased and as the air flow rate increased, the drying rate increased and moisture differences decreased. In tunnel dryer, drying through bottom of the tray had large effect on drying rate and the effect was more significant when the drying temperature increased. As air flow rate increased, the difference of drying rates between tunnel and cabinet drying increased and drying rate of tunnel of drying was higher. The drying simulation model could estimate moisture content in tunnel more precisely by using modified effective moisture diffusion coefficient for air flow rate.

P. wasabiae was isolated from discolored seeds of wasabi(Wasabia japonical Mtsum.) and inoculated to fresh seeds, then the effect of fungicides on suppression of diseases were determined. Emergence rate of wasabi seeds where suppressed to 52.5% by the inoculation and it reached up to 92.7% by dipping treatment of inoculated seeds ito benomyl solution. The incidence rate of black leg disease and damping off were 32.0 and 22.0%, respectively, in control treatment that sown in the soil inoculated with P. wasabiae. But dipping treatment of inoculated seeds into benomyl solution resulted in 12.0% and 10.7% in incidence rate of those two diseases, respectively.

We investigated the use of mashed red pepper in the manufacture of kimchi using various freezing point depression agents (glucose, pectin, ascorbic acid or NaCl). In sensory evaluation results, overall acceptance seemed to be highly related to NaCl content. Kimchi was prepared using mashed red pepper with different levels of NaCl (3, 5, and 10% w/w), and quality characteristics were investigated during storage at $10^{\circ}C$. Salt concentrations of kimchi prepared with addition of 3, 5, or 10% NaCl, and control kimchi, were 2.28, 2.47, 3.10 and 1.92%, respectively. pH values varied significantly among treatments but acidity levels did not differ significantly except during the early stages of production. With increasing NaCl addition, the acidity of kimchi was lower than that of control samples during later fermentation periods. At day 20, the reducing sugar level in control kimchi had decreased by 70% whereas NaCl treatment caused decreases of 45 - 55%. The vitamin C contents of kimchi prepared with addition of NaCl (125.88-145.23 mg/100 g) were higher than that of control (37.22 mg/100 g). In sensory evaluation tests, appearance and texture did not differ significantly with treatment or fermentation period. When taste and overall acceptance were scored, kimchi prepared with the addition of 3% NaCl attained the highest marks throughout the entire fermentation period.

Quality changes in semi-dried red pepper (SRP) treated with ozone water were observed upon storage (at $-18^{\circ}C$) after freezing at $-10^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$, and $-40^{\circ}C$. Drip loss after treatment was greater than in control peppers, but no significant difference was evident between treatments (p<0.05). We observed that differences between samples decreased as storage time increased. Texture after treatment did not change significantly over a 3-month period. The redness (a-value) after treatment was greater than in the control, but no sample showed significant color alteration after the 3-month period. The capsaicinoid content decreasedas storage time increased, and was also affected by the freezing temperature. However, carotenoid content was not influenced by freezing or storage temperature. Ascorbic acid and free sugar contents showed decreases of 47% and 6.5%, respectively, after semi-drying. The results of sensory evaluation indicated no significant difference between samples in terms of color appearance.

their survival rates could be affected by various factors such as diet, stress, senescence, and antibiotics. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of various spices (garlic, ginger, scallion, onion, Chungyang red pepper, and red pepper) which have antimicrobial properties and used frequently in Korean diet, and propolis on probiotics isolated from Koreans. As a result, most Korean probiotic strains were resistant to all spices tested and propolis, and the growth rates of some Korean probiotic strains (Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Streptococcus thermophiles) were even increased by specific spices or propolis. But on the other hand, the growth rates of most of european probiotic strains were reduced by various spices or propolis, and the growth rates of a few european probiotic strains (L. helveticus, S. thermophiles) were greatly decreased in the presence of specific spices. Likewise, all commercial probiotic products including Korean probiotic strains were rarely affected by spices tested. However, european probiotic product tended to be greatly reduced by garlic, onion, scallion, and propolis. Therefore, these results indicate that probiotic strains isolated from Korean have the strong viability and resistance to various spices with antimicrobial properties, so that they might be appropriate for Korean intestine.
