This experiment was conducted to elucidate the effects of foliar application of monopotassium phosphate on the acceleration of ind color and fruit quality of Satsuma mandarin cultivated in the plastic greenhouse. The 'a'value of peel chromaticity increased seasonably with the increasing frequency of foliar application of monopotassium phosphate, but became gradually irresponsive as the fruit approached to harvesting time. Glucose content increased with the number of foliar applications so did the fructose content. Content of reducing sugars tended to increase with the number of foliar applications by 0.32 to 0.41%.mL$^{-1}$ juice in treatment sof ive or more applications. Sucrose content increased gradually with the increasing number of foliar applications, but there was no significatn difference among treatments. Total sugar also increased with the increasing number of foliar applications Generally, the soluble solid level is considered to be representative of fruit quality. Sugar content increased with the number of foliar application up to 5 times in which sugar content increased by 0.93$^{\circ}$Bx as compared to the control. The fruit acidity of the treatment plots decreased as compared to that of the control, but there was no significant difference in fruit acidity among foliar application times.

The study about maturity and spawning of Korean Mandarin fish, Siniperca scherzeri collected using the set net and gill net in Soyangho Lake from April to November 2014 was conducted. The number of individuals was 401 (female: 204, male: 197). The total length of females ranged from 113 mm to 365 mm and that of males was from 140 mm to 342 mm. The water temperature in May which is the start of spawning season indicated about $15^{\circ}C$ and gradually increased to July ($26^{\circ}C$). Gonadosomatic index (GSI) of females indicated 2.3%, 4.6% and 3.1%, respectively, in May to July. Males' value showed the similar pattern recording 8.0%, 6.6% and 4.5% in the same time. According to histological observations of gonadal tissue, the most of female in May had the gonadal tissue of maturing and mature stage. And the ovary of June was mostly in the stage of ripe and spawning and a number of individuals in July was recovery stage. In the case of male, a number of males in May showed in the stage of mature. The testis of June showed that mature sperm was releasing. And the testis of July was mostly in recovery stage. The total length at 50% group maturity was estimated 245.16 mm. As shown in the above, the main spawning period of S. scherzeri was May to June.

Such fruits as nut persimmons, mandarin oranges and apples stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber at 5$^{\circ}C$ under 90% of relative humidity had been maintained in the fresh state for longer times than the control stored only in the cold chamber. Fruits stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber showed lower values in weight loss rate, microbial colony count and decay ratio and higher ascorbic acid content than the control stored only in the told room through the storage period. We confirmed that fruits stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber under low temperature and high humidity showed least changes in quality properties through the storage period and the far-infrared radiated facilities could be a good storage system.

The present study investigated identification of cultivars through phylogenetic analysis of 108 Citrus varieties and related cultivars using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Two hundred three SSR primer pairs were used to detect polymorphic markers among 8 Citrus cultivars consisting of 4 mandarins, 1 orange, 1 tangor, 1 tangelo, and 1 pumelo. Eighteen SSR primer pairs were reproducible and showed highly polymorphic alleles. These markers were applied to assess genetic variations of the 108 varieties. Each marker detected 5-14 alleles, with an average of 9.28. The polymorphism information content varied from 0.417 to 0.791 with an average of 0.706. Cluster analysis with SSR markers resulted in 13 major groups reflecting cultivar types and pedigree information. Twelve orange cultivars in the $I-1^{st}$ sub-cluster and 23 mandarin cultivars in the $II-1^{st}$ sub-cluster, respectively, were not discriminated using the SSR markers. This could be due to narrow genetic backgrounds originated through bud mutation or nucellars seedlings. The SSR profile database of Citrus cultivars will be useful as a tool for protection of plant breeders' intellectual property rights in addition to assessing genetic diversity in Citrus cultivars and germplasms.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aromatherapy on the autonomic nervous system by the inhalation. The subjects of the study were 64 people aged 20 and under 59 years old, 32 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group. Blending oil with Six aroma(Lavender, Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon, Cedarwood, Roman Chamomile) was applied to the experimental group, and Jojoba oil was applied to the control group for 30min. Before and after the experiment, HRV(TP, VLF, LF, HF, LF/HF) of the experimental group and the control group were compared and analyzed using pulse wave mesuring instrument(uBioClip v70). There was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in 3 out of 5 items analyzed TP(p<.05), LF(p<.05), HF(p<.01). In other words, aromatherapy increases the total activity of the autonomic nervous system by enhancing the TP, increases the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, promotes the activity of the heart, Facilitate the activity of the heart. Therefore, if aromatherapy is used steadily in everyday life, it will enable healthy life by positively affecting the autonomic nervous system response.

This study was carried out to predict fruit surface temperature (FST) causing sunburn symptoms and assess the correlation between solar radiation and FST in satusma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc. 'Iwasaki'). And to reduce sunburn when ambient temperature was at 31℃, sprinkler system was repeated spraying every at 5 minutes of 30 minutes intervals and 1% calcium carbonate and 4% kaolin solution applied on citrus tree three times to investigate quality and sunburn of fruits. It showed highly significant positive correlation between FST and solar radiation (R = 0.788, p < 0.01), The FST increased up to 16℃ than ambient temperature at daytime. To estimate FST, a linear model y = 0.099 × (air temperature) + 0.018 × (solar radiation) + 20.779 (R = 0.687, p < 0.01) was derived. The canopy temperature of citrus trees was 5.1℃ lower in sprinkler system than in control. The incidence of sunburn showed at 2.1% in sprinkler system twice lower than in control and there was different significance. Fruit quality was similar between treatments. In conclusion, sunburn can be reduced by reflecting sunlight or downing of FST through sprinkler system.

An abandoned mandarin orange orchard in southwestern Japan was set-stocked by Japanese Black cows at two stocking rates (1.0 and 2.0 animals/ha), and vegetation dynamics and diet selection by cattle were monitored for two years, in an effort to obtain information on effective use of abandoned agricultural fields for low-cost animal production and environmental conservation. Two dominant species at the commencement of grazing, kudzu (Pueraria lobata Ohwi) and tall goldenrod (Solidago altissima L.), showed different responses to grazing during the two years; the composition of kudzu decreased, contrasting with that of tall goldenrod which increased at both stocking rates. This was caused by high preference for kudzu and avoidance or low preference for tall goldenrod by cattle. Retrogression of vegetation due to cattle disturbances occurred at both stocking rates, with the high stocking rate leading to a lower degree of succession than the low stocking rate. It was shown that cattle grazing, particularly at a high stocking rate, was effective in the management of vegetation of an abandoned orchard.

Citrus canker is very important disease in international trade of citrus. The disease was usually take place from late of June, and severe middle of July to middle of August, though disease occurrence was affected by environmental conditions. In pathogenicity test, three varieties, orange, lemon and kiyomi among 7 varieties, were succeptible, two varieties, satsuma mandarin and iwasachi, intermediate resistant. On the other hand, shiranuhi and yuzu were resistant relatively. The pathogen, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, grew well in PD broth adjusted to pH 7.0 at 26$^{\circ}C$. It's growth was best in medium containing group of monosaccharide as a carbon source and group of ammonium as a nitrogen source. Tow isolates were resistant to streptomycin among 11 isolates isolated from diseased leaves in field in Jeju-Do. The streptomycin sensitives isolate was controlled by in greenhouse test. On the other hand, the resistant and sensitive isolates were controlled by treatment with copper sulfate, the control value is 88.7％ and 90.6％, respectively.

Rainfall, on Jeju Island varies regionally in relation to Mt. Halla with higher rainfall within southern area and lower in western area, and its variability is expected to expand according to the climate change scenario. Non-parametric trend analysis for rainfall, using both historic (1971-2010) and simulated (2011-2100) data assuming the A1B emissions scenario, shows regionally increasing trends with time. In perspective of agricultural land use, area for market garden including various crop types with high water demand is increasing over the Island, especially in the western area with lower rainfall compared to southern area. On the other hand, area for fruit including mandarin and kiwi with low water demand is widely distributed over southern and northern part having higher rainfall. These regional disparity of water demand/supply may be more affected by extreme events such as drought and heavy rainfall that has not yet been considered. Therefore, it is necessary to make policies for water resource management considering both demand and supply in different regions with climate change impacts over Jeju Island.
