Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate nutritional value and in situ degradability of fruit-vegetable byproducts and their feeding effects on performance of growing Hanwoo steers. Methods: Nutritional value and in situ degradability of cabbage, Chinese cabbage and fruit-vegetable byproducts were assessed. In vivo feeding trial was also performed for 12 weeks. Thirty-six growing steers were randomly allocated into three groups according to body weight (BW) and age in 12 pens (4 replications/treatment) and assigned to one of the three dietary treatments: control (byproduct 0%), FV-B (fruit-vegetable byproduct 20%), and CA-B (cabbage peel 15% plus Chinese cabbage peel 15%, total byproduct 30%). Results: The crude protein contents of cabbage, Chinese cabbage and fruit-vegetable byproducts were 18.69%, 20.20%, and 10.07%, respectively. Concentrations of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were higher in cabbage (22.31%) and Chinese cabbage (28.83%) than fruit-vegetable (13.94%). Higher concentrations of non-fiber carbohydrate were observed for fruit-vegetable (66.72%) than cabbage (44.93%) and Chinese cabbage byproducts (24.69%). The effective degradability (ED) of both dry matter (DM) and NDF for fruit-vegetable byproduct (DM, 84.69%; NDF, 85.62%) was higher (p<0.05) than cabbage (DM, 68.47%; NDF, 55.97%) and Chinese cabbage byproducts (DM, 68.09%; NDF, 54.22%). The DM intake was not different among treatments because the amount of feed was kept constant according to the BW of growing steers to prevent overweight during the growing period. The average daily gain during the whole experimental period was not different among treatments (1.26, 1.25, and 1.34 kg/d for control, FV-B, and CA-B). The ED of both DM and NDF degradability of the total mixed ration (TMR) diets were very similar among treatments. Feed conversion ratio during the whole period showed no significant difference among treatments. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that fruit-vegetable and cabbage byproducts up to 20% and 30% (as fed basis), respectively can be included in TMR diets for growing beef cattle.

This study investigated the applicability of horticultural media with recycled coir substrates the growth of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. Pekinensis) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) crop. The six different types of coir based substrates were A, Coir 45: Perlite 35: Vermiculite 12: Zeolite 8 (%), B, Coir 55: Perlite 25: Vermiculite 12: Zeolite 8 (%), C, Coir 65: Perlite 15: Vermiculite 12: Zeolite 8 (%), D, Coir 75: Perlite 5: Vermiculite 12: Zeolite 8 (%), E, Coir 85: Perlite 5: Vermiculite 5: Zeolite 5 (%) and F, nursery media (control). The pH and Electric conductivity of the horticultural nursery media were 6.06-7.00 and $0.45-1.10dS/m^{-1}$, respectively. The nursery media containing coir substrates had higher level of Total N, Ca, K, Mg and P than those without coir. Additionally, it was observed that the growth of Chinese cabbage was the best on D (containing 75% coir) while that of lettuce was the best on E (containing 85% coir). In general, when substrates containg a higher percentage of coir were used, the growth of Chinese cabbage and lettuce was ideal. Additionally, the P, Ca, and Mg content in both plants was not significantly altered by the amount of coir present in the media. However, with an increase in the amount of coir substrate, the chlorophyll, N, and K content was increased. After harvesting, there was no significant difference in the chemical properties of the horticultural nursery media of both plants. Thus, it can be suggested that, coir substrate after a single use could be recycled as horticulture nursery media.

Commercialization of genetically modified (GM) plants will be required the assessment of risks associated with the release of GM plants that should include a detailed risk assessment of their impacts in human health and the environment. Prior to GM plant release, applicants should provide the information on GM crops for approval. We carried out this study to provide the molecular data for risk assessment of the GM Chinese cabbage plants with insect-resistance gene, modified CryIAc, which we obtained by Agrobacterium-transformation. From the molecular analysis with GM Chinese cabbage, we confirmed the transgene copy number and stability, the expression of the transgene, and integration region sequences between the transgene and the Chinese cabbage genome. Based on the unique integration DNA sequences, we designed specific primer set to detect GM Chinese cabbage and set up the GM cabbage detection method by qualitative PCR analysis. Qualitative analysis with GM Chinese cabbage progenies analysis was revealed the same as the result of herbicide treatment. Our results provided the molecular data for risk assessment analysis of GM Chinese cabbage and demonstrated that the primer set proposed could be useful to detect GM Chinese cabbage.

Kimchi cabbage (Chinese cabbage), radish and Cabbage are major Brassicaceae vegetables in Korea. Especially, we can easily develop whole plant from one microspore in Kimchi cabbage. To develop clubroot resistant doubled-haploid (DH) inbred lines, we pollinated a clubroot resistant turnip of 'IT 033820' with a Kimchi cabbage (Chinese cabbage) inbred of 'BP 079'. More than 85 DH inbred lines were developed from this combination. We screened about 400 materials including these DH inbred lines, commercial cultivars and breeding materials during 3 years using hydroponic system after inoculating single spore isolation race 4(SSI-04) inoculate. One inbred line derived from this combination selected as clubroot resistant and registered as 'Wonkyo20036ho'. We inoculated 26 DH inbred lines derived from 'Zoong-baek 2ho' using SSI-4, the percent of resistant plants varied from 0 to 83%. However the horticultural traits of highly resistant DH inbred line was poor. Thus we selected one DH line showing 77% resistant with yellow inner leaf and maid good head, was registered as 'Wonkyo20034ho'. Another DH inbred line derived from Korean variety of 'Wol-dong' showing 86% resistant was registered as 'Wonkyo20037ho'. Other DH inbred lines were derived from Chinese cultivar of 'Choon-hi-go-hang-wang' and 'Hwang-shim-zo48' showed 80 and 71% resistant, respectively, was also selected for registration. Even though DH inbred lines derived from turnip showed highly resistant to SSI-04 and provincial inoculate, they showed poor characteristics in horticultural traits. However, commercial seed companies showed interesting for adapting these DH inbred lines in commercial breeding.

Persistence of cyanofenphos on Chinese cabbage under the different climate conditions was studied by spraying the insecticide at the rate of 0.5 and 0.75 ㎏ AI/ha at 22 and 36 days after transplanting and monitoring its residues upto 35 days after the final spray. At both spraying rates the degradation patterns of the insecticide, regardless of climate condition, showed similar trends; cyanofenphos residues on Chinese cabbage declined rapidly upto 14 days after the final spray but more slowly thereafter. Half-life for cyanofenphos on Chinese cabbage was $6{\sim}7$ days. The half-life was little affected by the spraying rate and time. Based on the FAO/WHO maximum residue limit of cyanofenphos on common cabbage (2 ppm), it is recommended that the pre-harvest intervels of the insecticide on Chinese cabbage could be 16 and 19 days for 0.5 and 0.75 ㎏ AI/ha, respectively.

This study was conducted to determine the economic injury levels and control thresholds for the striped cabbage flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), on Chinese cabbage at two different planting times. The number of inoculated adults per 10 cabbages was 0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 at the early developmental stage of the cabbage5 days after planting) and 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 at the middle developmental stage (30 days after planting). Damages to the leaves at the first inoculation were 2.5-21.1% and at the second inoculation were 1.8-26.3% after harvesting. The linear relationships between population density and yield reduction were as follows: Y = 1.3475X + 2.135 ($R^2$ = 0.8699) at the early developmental stage and Y = 0.703X - 1.78 ($R^2$ = 0.966) at the middle developmental stage. On the basis of these results, the economic injury levels caused 5% loss of yield; there were 2.1 adults per 10 Chinese cabbage at the early developmental stage and 9.6 adults per 10 Chinese cabbage at the middle developmental stage.

Chinese cabbage is produced and consumed as a main material for kimchi and as a staple vegetable in Korea throughout the year. However, due to environmental changes unbalance between supply and demand is repeated annually, requiring development of long-term storage technologies. Chinese cabbages, were harvested, put in plastic boxes, and precooled at $2^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours using forced air precooler. After precooling, Chinese cabbages were MAP-treated with 0.02 mm HDPE film and functional film and stored at low temperature ($1{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$). The weight-loss rates after 9-weeks of storage were 8.47% in the control group, 4.07% in the HDPE film-treated group, and 3.07% in the functional film-treated group, respectively, suppressing weight loss. Trimming loss rate after 6-weeks of storage was 6.86% in the functional film MAP-treated group and lower than 7.50% in the control group. In the sensory test with 7 points as the limit of commodity, the control group lost it after 6-weeks of storage while the MAP-treated groups retained over 7 points. The functional film MAP-treated group showed over 6 points for processing as kimchi until 9-weeks of storage, proving that Pallet-type MAP storage is effective for extending storage life of spring Chinese cabbage.

To develop a selection system for regenerating plants from transformed tissues, effects of four antibiotics (kanamycin, hygromycin, carbenicillin, cefotaxime) and herbicide (phosphinotricin) on shoot regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis) were studied. For cotyledon, shoot induction was not significantly affected by kanamycin at $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, but the number of shoots formed was significantly reduced at $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, and no shoots were regenerated from any explants at $6mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ or higher. Hypocotyl explants showed similar result as cotyledon. Kanamycin at $7mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ may be adequate for selecting Chinese cabbage transformants. Hygromycin at $4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ or higher completely inhibited the growth and shoot regeneration of Chinese cabbage explants. Therefore, resistance gene to hygromycin may also be used as a selective marker for Chinese cabbage transformation. Carbenicillin and cefotaxime, the cephalosporin type of antibiotics, had little effect on shoot regeneration of Chinese cabbage explants. Since carbenicillin and cefotaxime have low toxicity to Chinese cabbage, they are suitable for use in tissue culture to eliminate Agrobacterium in transformation experiments after co-cultivation. Shoot regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants was significantly reduced in presence of $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ phosphinotricin (PPT) and completely inhibited by $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ or higher. PPT, same as antibiotics, may also be used to select transformed cells. Since Chinese cabbage is known to be recalcitrant to in vitro shoot regeneration compared to other Brassica species, even though lower levels of selectable markers result in more transformants but simultaneously allow more untransformed escapes to develop, lower levels of antibiotics and herbicides could be successfully used as a selectable marker to reduce selection pressure.
