A new red leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivar, "Mihong" which has late bolting and deep red leaf color was developed from a cross of "Danhongongchukmyeon" (deep red but early bolting and low yield) and "Hajicheongchukmyeon" (late bolting and high yield). The selection and breeding of advanced lines were done by pedigree method during 2000-2006. The advanced lines were evaluated for yield and adaptability in Korea (Gangwon, Kyunggi, Chungbuk, Kyungnam, Jeonnam, Jeonbuk, and Jeju) from 2007 to 2008. The "Mihong" has gray seed color, traverse elliptic leaves and deep red color. Compared to "Dukseomjeokchukmyeon", marketable yield of "Mihong" was higher by 2% (at 291 g per plant) as a 17.3 ton/ha, but with particularly improved good expression of deep red leaf color in high temperature cultivation in the field. The shelf-life of "Mihong" was three weeks longer than "Dukseomjeokchukmyeon" at $4^{\circ}C$. The amount of anthocyanin content of "Mihong" were higher than with "Dukseomjeokchukmyeon" at 28.9 mg/100 g. Especially the degree of leaf hardness in "Mihong" showed $26.9kg/cm^2$ compared to "Dukseomjeokchukmyeon". therefore, its taste is better, more crispy, and sweeter than "Dukseomjeokchukmyeon" This new cultivar "Mihong" can be cultivated in all year around even if summer time cultivation.

'Yeomyeong', a new welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.) variety, is developed by the Bioenergy Crop Research Center, NICS, RDA in 2004. This variety, as interspecific $F_1$ hybrid, is developed by a cross between onion (Allium. cepa L.) and welsh onion (A. fistulosum L). The first cross was conducted in 2003 between MOS8, onion male sterile line and G2, welsh onion inbred line. Horticultural and yield characteristics of this hybrid $F_1$ line was investigated in greenhouse for 2 years from 2004 to 2005 with fall cropping cultivation. It has a single pseudostem plant type, anthocyanin-colored pseudostem, and male sterile umbel. It showed intermediate plant type of the maternal parents in overall plant characteristics. 'Yeomyeong' is fall sawing variety and has higher plant height and pseudostem length than that of check variety 'Gumjang'. The yield potential of this variety was about 130.1MT/ha in greenhouse in spring harvseting season. This variety would be adaptable to the fall sowing cultivation in green house.

The study was carried out to investigate growth of 48.6-L pot-cultivated 1-year-old 'Fuji'/M.9 apple trees depending on different levels of nitrogen concentration. While rise in tree growth was paralleled with increase of nitrogen concentration, more than 32 mM of nitrogen rather restrained tree growth. In particular, growth of 16 mM of nitrogen treated trees was satisfied with criteria for production of high-quality pot-cultivated nursery stocks. Although mineral contents of leaves were higher in 8 and 16 mM nitrogen treatments than commonly recommended mineral contents in apple orchards, such somewhat surplus minerals could be helpful for tree growth after transplanting to apple orchards. In addition, our result indicated that soils of 8 and 16 mM of nitrogen treated pots met appropriate criteria for soil chemical property of apple orchards. Thus, in the light of tree growth, mineral contents of leaves, and soil chemical property in the pots, 16 mM of nitrogen treatment is considered to be suitable for production of 1-year-old 'Fuji'/M.9 apple potted trees.

Various colors of fruit skin and flesh are the most popular commercial criteria for peach classification. In order to breed new red-fleshed peach cultivar, many cross seedlings and generations should be maintained. Therefore it is necessary to develop early selection markers to screen seedlings with target traits to increase breeding efficiency. For the comparison of transcription profiles in peach cultivars differing in flesh color expression, two cDNA libraries were constructed. Differences in gene expression between red-fleshed peach cultivar, 'Josanghyeoldo' and white-fleshed peach cultivar, 'Mibaekdo' were analyzed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Expressed sequence tag (EST) of clones from the two cultivars were selected for nucleotide sequence determination and homology searches. Putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were screened from peach EST contigs by high resolution melting (HRM) analysis displayed specific difference between 8 red-fleshed peach cultivars and 24 white-fleshed peach cultivars. All 72 pairs of SNPs were discriminated and the HRM profiles of amplicons were established. In the study reported here, the development of SNP markers for distinguishing between red and white fleshed peach cultivars by HRM analysis offers the opportunity to use DNA markers. This SNP marker could be useful for peach marker assisted breeding and provide a good reference for relevant research on molecular mechanisms of color variation in peach cultivars.

Color-fleshed potatoes 'Hong-young' and 'Ja-young' were developed by RDA, and it has reported that they have high content of anthocyanin. Additionally they show higher radical scavenging activity compared to white or yellow fleshed potatoes. So it will be expected that the consumption of color-fleshed potatoes gradually increase by pre-peeled potatoes and color potato chips. This study was conducted to enhance the utilization of the tuber of color-fleshed potatoes. At first, we isolated four compounds from the organic solvents soluble layer in ethanol extract of tuber, and their structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods and by comparing their data to those in the literature. Their structures were characterized to be caffeic acid (1), chlorogenic acid (2), gallic acid (3) and protocatechuic acid (4) for the first time reported from this source. These compounds were already reported ingredients but considered to exhibit a high physiological activity. The quantitative determination on the four compounds in tuber of color-fleshed [Hong-young (HY) & Ja-young (JY)] and white-fleshed [Superior (SP)] potatoes samples were measured using HPLC. The concentration of caffeic acid in each total fractionations of HY (184.4 g/g) and JY (435.1 g/g) were higher than in total fractionation of SP (31.1). The concentration of gallic acid in each total fractionations of HY (282.1 g/g) and JY (315.2 g/g) were higher than in total fractionation of SP (143.3 g/g). The concentration of chlorogenic acid contents appeared to be highest in total fractionation of SP (954.2 g/g). The concentration of protocatechuic acid in total fractionation of HY (120.3 g/g) was higher than in each total fractionationss of JY (74.4 g/g) and SP (102.7 g/g). Overall, color-fleshed potatoes had higher amount of physicochemical properties than 'Superior'. Therefore, color-fleshed potatoes are expected to be highly valuable items for the development and applications of a functional food. In addition, these results will provide fundamental information for improving sitological value, and breeding of new cultivar.

This study developed a high-utility type of vinegar from Rubus coreanus by optimizing its fermentation conditions. In the alcohol fermentation process, the optimal conditions for the maximization of the alcohol contents were an initial sugar concentration of 15 $^{\circ}Brix$, a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and 4 days. The optimal conditions for the acetic acid fermentation were 9 days of fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm, with 6% alcohol and 2% initial acidity. The sucrose, fructose, and glucose contents were 952.90, 491.01, and 386.62 mg%, respectively. The free organic acids were acetic, malic, succinic, malonic, oxalic, and lactic acids. The total free amino acid content was 104.33 ${\mu}g/mL$, with alanine, glutamic acid, ${\gamma}$-amino-N-butyric acid, and o-phospho-ethanolamine as the major amino acids. The K, Na, and Mg contents were 1,686.10, 172.50, and 69.33 ppm, respectively. The total phenolic and anthocyanin contents were 25.19 and 80.71 mg/100 mL, respectively. The DPPH- and $ABTS^{.+}$ radical scavenging activities were approximately 65 and 94%, respectively. Moreover, the vinegar's ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching activity and reducing power showed that it had strong anti-oxidant properties. These results show that Rubus coreanus vinegar has anti-oxidant properties and may be used as functional food.

The berry thinning was a useful practice to reduce bunch size and to alter bunch shape for improving fruit quality. The grape cv. 'Muscat Bailey A' bunches were removed to find berry thinning effect on the bunch, in the apical end of the main stem about 4~6 laterals or conventional treatment and then compared a quality of fruit and wine between the treatments. Bunch weights on the different berry thinning treatment were in the range of 300 to 650g and conventional treatment was 550 to 750g. As a result, according to decreased lateral number of bunch in the treatments, total soluble sugar was increased but total acid was decreased. Our results was shown that wine color and taste components such as total anthocyanin, polyphenol and tannin were depended mainly by berry thinning. Also Berry thinning treatments of bunches was ranked higher sensory score than conventional ones.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of yogurt dressing prepared with different amounts (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) of black currant (Ribes nigrum L) extract. All samples were evaluated for chemical composition, pH, viscosity, sugar content, color, organic acid content and antioxidant activity. Our findings revealed that with increasing amounts of black currant extract in yogurt dressing, the moisture, crude protein and crude lipid contents decreased. The pH and viscosity gradually decreased, whereas the sugar increased with increase in black currant extract. Further, the lightness (L) value decreased, while the redness (a) and yellowness (b) values increased with increase in added black currant extract. Among the organic acids, the contents of citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid and acetic acid increased, while that of tartaric acid and lactic acid decreased with increasing levels of added black currant extract. The total polyphenol and total anthocyanin contents were 5.90-245.97 mg/100 g and 0.62-190.09 mg/100 g, respectively. In addition, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-thylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities significantly increased with increase in added black currant extract.

This study was accomplished to investigate the effect of harvest time on the contents of polyphenolic compounds such as epicatechin, catechin, resveratrol and quercetin in grapes (Vitis spp.). The souble solids contents were increased with harvest time delay, while the titratable acidity continuously decreased in all cultivars. Brightness (L) was higher in 'Campbell Early' and 'Shigyoku', Hunter a value was high in 'Shigyoku' which was harvested later. Hunter b value seemed to be different in 'Shigyoku' depending on harvesting time. The contents of EC which was extracted 'Campbell Early, 'Shigyoku' and 'M.B.A' were higher late harvest time than early harvest time, reapectively, In 'Shigyoku which requires the direct light, the contents of EGC and EC showed distinct differences depending on harvesting time. The compositions of epicatechin were different depending on cultivars. The contents of catechin and resveratrol were higher in 'Campbell Early' and 'M.B.A' which were harvested later, but 'Shigyoku' which was harvested earlier. The contents of quercetin was higher in 'Campbell Early' which was harvested earlier, but 'Shigyoku' and 'M.B.A' which were harvested later. In comparison with 'Shigyoku' and 'M.B.A', catechin and resveratrol contents were seen to be higher in 'Campbell Early' irrespective of harvesting time.
