Three types of veterinary antibiotics, including oxytetracycline (OTC) and chlortetracycline (CTC) of tetracycline class and amoxicillin (AMX) of penicilline class, were artificially introduced into the irrigation water. The residue of veterinary antibiotics in the soil, the absorption-translocation of veterinary antibiotics into the red lettuce and young radish plant, and crops yield were investigated according to the agricultural water irrigation method (surface drip irrigation, underground drip irrigation, and sprinkler irrigation). There was no significant difference in the residue and translocation of veterinary antibiotics in the soils and crops according to the irrigation method and type of veterinary antibiotics (p>0.05). For the edible parts of red lettuce and young radish, all three types of veterinary antibiotics were found to be below the detection limit, indicating that the safety of the crops was secured. The translocation factor of red lettuce and young radish were found to be less than 0.3 and 0.2, respectively. However, continuous introduction of veterinary antibiotics in agricultural arable lands may have negative effects by affecting soil microbial activity and soil microbe species diversity, so continuous management is deemed necessary.

This experiment on intercropping system of Fritillaria thunbergii MIQ, using safflower, young radish, sesame, and periller as intercrops, had been carried out to increase the productivity of natural resources to the fullest and to use farm land most efficiently for 3 years from 2001 to 2003. Every intercrop could be grown up without any harmful effect on the growth of Fritillaria thunbergii MIQ. There was little difference in bulb yield plant of Fritillaria thunbergii MIQ. per among intercropping systems, but there was more bulb yield per the unit area in single cropping than in intercropping system. The income of cropping system containing Fritillaria thunbergii MIQ. was higher $45\%$ and $35\%$ in Fritillaria thunbergii MIQ.+young radish and Fritillaria thunbergii MIQ.+safflower+perilla than in Fritillaria thunbergii MIQ. mono-crop system respectively.

Anionic peroxidases (POD) were isolated from Korean radish (Raphanus sativus L.) root by using fractionation with $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and CM-cellulose ion exchange chromatography and used as the colorimetric enzyme for glucose determination. The chromogen used in this work was o-tolidine or 4-aminoantipyrine/diethylaniline (4AA/DEA) and the colored products were measured at 630 nm. Korean radish anionic POD showed much better colorimetric reaction of glucose determination with 4AA/DEA than with o-tolidine. The r values of calibration curve for glucose determination by o-tolidine and 4AA/DEA were 0.9983 and 0.9963, respectively. In order to compare the reactivity for substrate oxidation by Korean radish POD and horseradish POD, the Km values against o-dianisidine and guaiacol were measured. Korean radish POD had about 40 fold higher affinity for o-dianisidine and 2 fold higher affinity for guaiacol as revealed by Km values. These results showed that Korean radish POD could be developed as the colorimetric diagnosis reagent for glucose determination with high sensitivity.

The inhibitory effects of land race radish (LRR) and wild race radish (WRR) extracts on cancer cell lines were investigated. A and their glucosinolate and sulforaphane contents were analyzed. The anticancer activitiesy of the LRR and WRR extracts on the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were determined by a CCK (cell counting kit) assay, in which WWR showed higher inhibition rates than LRR. The sulforaphane content of WRR was higher than that of LRR. In the lung cancer cell line, A-549, WRR showed higher inhibition rates and a higher total glucosinolate content than LRR. The glucosinolate contents of the radishes were analyzed by the Pd-quicktest method, showing that WRR contained more glucosinolate than LRR in both the trunk and root. In conclusion, these results indicate that wild race radish could be used for the quality improvement of radishes.

Seven vegetables were planted in green houses to compare their yields and damages by insect pests based on three treatments, green music (GM), ultra sonic (US) and control. The vegetable yields of GM treatment were increased by an average of 17.81% than that of control for two years. There was a remarkable statistic difference in the yield between GM and respective controls such as radish, young radish, cucumber, spinach and Brassica oleracea var. acephala. There was no notable yield difference between US and controls for the semen vegetables within two years. The population densities of the insect pests in GM and US treatments were lower than controls. Only a few insect pests of some vegetables in GM and US treatments injured more seriously than in control.

To investigate the changes of taste perception by aging, sixty one healthy elderly people and sixty five young adults were participated in the study. Most preferred levels of salt sour and sweet taste were chosen in bean sprout soup radish salad and yaksing respectively. Threshold levels of each taste were also chosen in NaCl solution for salt taste in citric acid solution for sour taste and in sucrose solution for salt taste, in citric acid solution for sour taste and in sucrose solution for sweet taste. The results are as follow: 1.Most preferred salt concentration in bean sprout soup was significantly higher in the elderly than in the young adults(p$\leq$0.001). There was no difference in sour taste preference of radish salad in both age groups. Most preferred sweetness in yacksig was significantly higher in both elderly men and women(p$\leq$0.001) 2. Threshold levels of salt and sweet taste were significantly higher in the elderly (p$\leq$0.001) However there was no difference in threshold level of sour taste in both age groups.

Cadmium was transported through the special carrier system into the cells of cotyledons, hypocotyls, and roots spring radish young plants. The transport of cadmium was inhibited by metabolic inhibitor, like DNP. The $K_m$ values for cadmium were 0.7 ppm for cotyledons, 1.72 ppm for hypocotyls, and 0.3 ppm for roots, and $V_{max}$ for cadmium was $40ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for cotyledons, $313ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for hypocotyls, and $606ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for roots. Cadmium cannot prove to be inducer for proline accumulation. Therefore, proline accumulation cannot be used as a marker to test the level of heavy metal pollution.

The purpose of this study is to enhance utilization of the waste nutrient solution (WNS) disposed at the hydroponic greenhouse. Several sets of testing were conducted to examine the effects of WNS: (a) a fertilizer effect, (b) soil column leaching, and (c) crop cultivation. The fertilizer effect test was applied in young radish cultivation by examining the growth characteristics of young radish and soil based on inorganic nitrogen according to the soil treatment of the nitrogen fertilizer (NF) and the WNS. The fertilizer effects and crop cultivation test were conducted with five treatments (A-E): A, non-treatment (water); B, 100% of NF; C, 70% of NF + 30% of WNS; D, 50% of NF + 50% of WNS; and E, 30% of NF + 70% of WNS. The soil column leaching test was conducted with three treatments: non-treatment (water), 100% of NF, 50% of WNS + 50% of NF. As a result, the chemical properties of the WNS were pH 6.0, EC 2.4dS·m^-1, total phosphorus (T-P) 28mg·L^-1, ammonium nitrogen (NH₄-N) 5.0mg·L^-1, and nitrate nitrogen (NO₃-N) 301mg·L^-1. The chemical properties of the soil were pH 5.51, EC 0.31dS/m, organic matter 2.08g·kg^-1, NO₃-N 9.64mg·kg^-1, and NH₄-N 3.20mg·kg^-1. The results of fertilizer effects showed that the ratio of 50% or less of NF and 50% or more of WNS was high in young radish growth. There was no statistically significant difference between the soil chemistry in the C-E treatments where WNS was mixed with NF and the B treatment where only NF was applied. As a result of the soil column leaching test, there was no significant difference in the concentrations of NO₃ and NH₄ in the treatment of 100% of NF and 50% of NF + 50% of WNS. The study indicates, if the mixed fertilizer of WNS and NF is applied in the soil cultivation of young radish, it will reduce the use of NF and environmental pollution. This also helps reduce production costs on farmers and increase the yield of young radish.

Young radishes which were grown in the soil containing sulfur increased quinine reductase (QR) activity in Hepa 1clc cells and isothiocyanate-like compound analyzed by HPLC. QR inducing activity was maximum in young radishes grown with 1,818 g/㎥ sulfur and was decreased when the soil was neutralized with lime mortar in order to improve a recovery. These results have suggested that consumption of young radishes, especially grown in the presence of sulfur, would prevent from cancer incidence through inducing detoxification enzymes and could have therapeutic effects for chemoprevention.
