A fungus associated with gray blight on tea plant (Camellia sinensis) was identifed as Pestalotiopsis theae based on the mycological characteristics. Mycelial growth on potato dextrose agar and size and shape of conidia of P. theae were similar to those of P. longiseta, but P. theae was different from P. longiseta in the color of three median cells and the number of apical appendages. Artificial inoculation of conidial suspension or mycelial mats on the wounded leaves and shoots of healthy plants induced the same disease, respectively. The Korean native variety was relatively. The Korean native variety was relatively more resistat to P. theae than a Japanese variety‘Yabukita’which has bee recently introduced and planted in large areas of southern parts of Korea. Here, we report the report the first record of gary blight caused by P. theae on tea plant in Korea.

We aimed to evaluate the effects of climatic elements on potato yield and create a model with climatic elements for estimating the potato yield, using the results of the regional adjustment tests of potato. We used 86 data of the yield data of a potato variety, Sumi, from 17 regions over 11 years. According to the results, the climatic elements showed significant level of correlation coefficient with marketable yield appeared to be almost every climatic elements except wind velocity, which was daily average air temperature (Tave), daily minimum air temperature (Tmin), daily maximum air temperature(Tmax), daily range of air temperature (Tm-m), precipitation (Prec.), relative humidity (R.H.), sunshine hours (S.H.) and days of rain over 0.1 mm (D.R.) depending on the periods of days after planting or before harvest. The correlations between these climatic elements and marketable yield of potato were stepwised using SAS, statistical program, and we selected a model to predict the yield of marketable potato, which was $y=7.820{\times}Tmax_-1-6.315{\times}Prec_-4+128.214{\times}DR_-8+91.762{\times}DR_-3+643.965$. The correlation coefficient between the yield derived from the model and the real yield of marketable yield was 0.588 (DF 85).

This study was performed to optimize the processing conditions and to select the optimum species for colored sweet potato chips (Shinjami, Juhwangmi and Hayanmi varieties) baked by far-infrared radiation. Sweet potato chips were prepared by different slicing thickness (1~3 mm), concentration of sucrose solution for soaking (15~30%), blanching time (15~60 sec), baking temperature ($110{\sim}140^{\circ}C$) and baking time (23~31 min) through sensory evaluation and failure stress measurement. Optimal processing condition of sweet potato chips using Shinjami was determined to 1 mm, 20%, 45 sec, $120^{\circ}C$ and 31 min, and those using Juhwangmi was determined as 1 mm, 25%, 45 sec, $130^{\circ}C$ and 29 min. Sweet potato chips using Hayanmi was determined as 1 mm, 20%, 45 sec, $120^{\circ}C$ and 31 min, respectively. Free sugar content of sweet potato chips was higher in chips than in raw materials. In the sensory evaluation, appearance, sweet taste, hardness, and overall acceptance were higher in Juhwangmi than in the Shinjami and Hayanmi varieties. Overall acceptance, sugar content, b-value and failure stress were highly correlated among factors affecting the sensory characteristics (p<0.01). From the results of this study, Juhwangmi variety was selected for production of sweet potato chips.

Molecular structural Properties of Potato starches from Irish cobbler(mealy Potato), Dejima(waxy or soggy potato) and Shepody were investigated. iodine reaction of Irish cobbler, Sephody and Dejima starches were 0.45, 0.44 and 0.43. ${\beta}-amylolysis$ limit of the starches was not different between the three potato types. The percentage of each fraction was different among samples : in general, Dejima starch had higher proportion of $F1(more\;than\;{\overline}{DP})$, $F2({\overline}{DP}40{\sim}50)$ and lower proportion of $F3({\overline}{DP}15{\sim}20)$ than those of Irish cobbler starch. When the starch was heated in excess water at $98^{\circ}C$ for 8min, the yield of hot water-soluble starch were higher in waxy type than in mealy one. Each potato variety showed different gel chromatography pattern of the hot water soluble starch. When the potato starches were hydrolyzed with 2.2N HCI at $37^{\circ}C$ for 48 hr, the molecular weight of the starch was decreased.

Cultivated varieties of sweet potato were from dry texture type to tender texture type on the basis of consumer preferences. There are many differences in the quantity of sweet potato, starch content, pigment, and sugar content depending on the cultivation season and area, even in the same variety. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to establish optimum time of harvesting through growth characteristics and variation in component like starch, sugar, polyphenol and flavonoid. Four sweet potato varieties were used in this experiment. Among them, Jinhongmi (JHM) & Yulmi (YM) were as dry texture type and Pungwonmi (PWM) & Hogammi (HGM) were as tender texture type. Sweet potatoes were transplanted on 23 May, 2016 and were investigated storage root weight and component contents every 20 days from 60 days to 120 days and surveyed yield at 110, 120, 130 days after transplantation. Result revealed that storage root weight of YM, JHM, and HGM were 30.1, 38.9, 20.8 g respectively in 60 days after transplanting. Storage roots of PWM gerw faster with the weight of 88.2 g. In 120 days after transplanting, storage root weight varied from 88.3 to 118.7 g, HGM was the smallest, and PWM was the largest. Sugar contents of sweet potato ranged from 21.0 to $23.8Brix^{\circ}$ in 60 days after transplanting and from 27.5 to $30.78Brix^{\circ}$ in 120 days after transplanting. In particular, the sugar content of HGM was the highest over $30Brix^{\circ}$ after 80 days. The starch content of dry texture type (YM, JHM) increased from 15.5% to 20.4% and tender texture type (PWM, HGM) increased from 11.0% to 17.3%. Starch content tended to be high in dry type sweet potatoes. The content of polyphenol and flavonoid were highest in 60 days after transplanting and was reduced according to cultivation period. The total yield of PWM was high as 3,154 kg/10a and large storage root of over 250 g accounted for 47.4% in 110 days after transplanting. Storage root (YM, JHM, HGM) of 81~150 g accounted for 34.9% ~ 43.2% in 120 days after transplanting. These are the most marketable. Because consumer in Korea prefers small, round and about 100g size sweet potato. The ratio of large storage root (over 250 g) were increased in all varieties at 130 days after transplanting. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to harvest PWM at 110 days and YM, JHM, HGM at 120 days after transplanting, which planted in late May.

Calmodulin (CaM), a $Ca^{2+}$ binding protein in eukaryotes, mediates cellular $Ca^{2+}$ signals in response to a variety of biotic and abiotic external stimuli. The $Ca^{2+}$-bound CaM transduces signals by modulating the activities of numerous CaM-binding proteins. As a CaM binding protein, AtCBP63 ($\b{A}$rabidopsis thaliana $\b{C}$aM-binding protein $\underline{63}$ kD) has been known to be positively involved in plant defense signaling pathway. To investigate the pathogen resistance function of AtCBP63 in potato, we constructed transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants constitutively overexpressing AtCBP63 under the control of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. The overexpression of the AtCBP63 in potato plants resulted in the high level induction of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes such as PR-2, PR-3 and PR-5. In addition, the AtCBP63 transgenic potato showed significantly enhanced resistance against a pathogen causing bacterial soft rot, Erwinia carotovora ssp. Carotovora (ECC). These results suggest that a CaM binding protein from Arabidopsis, AtCBP63, plays a positive role in pathogen resistance in potato.

For the knowledge of characteristics of the cooking condition of different varieties of patato, 4 kinds of spring cultivated (Namjak, Sumi, Daiji, and Dowon) and 4 kinds of summer cultivated (Namjak, Sumi, Bintze, Radosa) were selected. The quality of potato starch, the viscosity, and the palatability of each potato soup were measured respectively. The amylograph characteristics of potato starch showed great difference not only between the spring and the summer cultivated, but also among the various kinds of potatoes. The amylograph of the spring cultivated didn't show the breakdown and the set back largely but showed the gradual increase of the viscosity and the high gelatinization temperature. Bintze and Namjak among the summer cultivated were gelatinized easily and in low temperature, and showed the beakdown. The low gelati-nization temperature of the summer cultivated infers that the starch granules of the summer cultivated are less compact then those of the spring ones. Sumi, Daiji and Dowon of the spring products showed the soup was falling down, but the viscosity of Namjak and 4 summer cultivated increased only slightly. The taste of soup is different according to the consistency of soup, and so the taste of soup of Daiji, Dowon, and Sumi of the spring cultivated products was good at the consistency 19.8％ and 23.5％. All the summer cultivated products and Namjak of the spring cultivated were good at 27％.

Potato plants carrying the Ry gene are extremely resistance to a number of potyviruses, but it is not known which variety expressed the resistance. In this investigation, combined classical and molecular techniques were used to identify virus resistance potatoes. Mechanical inoculation of 32 varieties of Korean potato cultivars, with potato virus Y (PVY), induced various symptoms, such as mosaic, yellowing, necrosis, mottle, vein clearing and vein bending. Different virus spreading patterns were observed, such as highly sensitive, moderate and resistant to $PVY^o$ inoculated leaves in different cultivars. From the results of double antibody sandwich-enzyme links immunosorbant assays (DAS-ELISA), coupled with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Winter valley and Golden valley were found to be highly susceptible and resistant cultivars to $PVY^o$ respectively. TEM was used as a complementary method to conform the localization of the virus in leaf tissues. TEM detect virus particles in Golden valley, where, ELISA and RT-PCR were unable to detect the CP gene. However, the interior part of the tissues was severely deformed in $PVY^o$ infected Winter valley, than Golden valley The Ry gene is involved in an induced response in $PVY^o$ infected Golden valley plants. The methods described in this study could be applied for the screening and development of antiviral potatoes.

Effects of various dosages of gamma ray ranging from 0 to 16 krad on sprout inhibition and nutritive value of potato tubers were investigated with Irish Cobbler variety. Sprout growth was gradually suppressed with increasing dosage, and completely inhibited with 16 krad treatment. Under this optimum dosage, weight loss of tubers was markedly reduced and tubers kept firm throughout the 2 month storage period. Irradiation had no adverse effects on the cooking quality of potato tubers. Moisture content of stored potato tubers was shown to be in inverse proportion to sprout growth. Tubers treated with 16 krad tended to contain somewhat higher percentage of total carbohydrate than those treated with lower dosages. Significantly larger amounts of ascorbic acid were retained in 8 and 16 krad treatments than in 0 and 2 krad treatments.
