This study was conducted to select the cultivars and strains which are suitable in cultivation of the Chinese cabbage having good horticultural characteristics and the resistance to clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, which is a widespread disease that causes serious problems in many Brassica growing areas. Thirty four cultivars and nineteen strains of the Chinese cabbage were planted in the contaminated fields in highland and investigated the wilting symptom due to the initial disease occurrence and high temperature. Disease occurrence rate and severity of clubroot and the horticultural characteristics were also examined. According to the results, Bulamplus, Kangryeokyeoleumbaechu among cultivars of Chinese cabbage, SP-05, SP-02, CR DB 50, and CR DB 29 among strains of Chinese cabbage were resistant to hot weather by showing delayed above-ground symptom (wilting) of clubroot in 30 days after transplanting. In case of below-ground clubroot rate, Daetong, super CR Kimi 85 and super CR Hiroki among the cultivars of Chinese cabbage were resistant to clubroot in 60 days after transplanting. When fresh weight of Chinese cabbage among cultivars were compared, super CR Hiroki of over 2,500 g was the highest among other cultivars. Although the resistant and susceptible reactions of Chinese cabbage cultivars and strains against clubroot disease were somewhat different from the above-ground symptoms (wilting) of clubroot in 30 days and below-ground symptoms of clubroot in 60 days, we recommend that super CR Hiroki, CR Kimi 85, CR Janggun among cultivars of Chinese cabbage and CR DB 50 and CR DB 29 among strains of Chinese cabbage will be more suitable in cultivation of Chinese cabbage in highland.

This study was conducted to evaluate the use of biological monitoring to determine the factors that influence the effects of exposure to pyrethroid pesticides among highland cabbage farmers. Urine was collected from farmers who was cultivating Chinese cabbage in the relatively highground in Gangwon-do the morning following pesticide application and was analyzed for cis- and trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcy-clopropane carboxylic acid (DCCA) and 3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylic acid (DBCA). Factors affecting exposure to pesticides, such as wind speed, spraying location, and the use of protective gear, were also investigated. Statistical analysis was performed by the Kruskal-Wallis test. Our analysis indicated that highland cabbage farmers were exposed to a higher level of pesticides than the general public or other types of farmers. When the wind speed was low, workers who sprayed pesticides were exposed to a higher level of pesticides compared to the exposure level in an assistant. However, there was no difference in exposure between the two when wind speed was high.

Major characteristics of brines produced from the salting process were compared among winter, spring, and summer (highland) Chinese cabbages. The soluble-solids contents of final brine were decreased to 87~90% of initial brine during salting process, and showed 16.3, 15.8, and 14.4$^{\circ}$Brix for winter, spring, and highland Chinese cabbages, respectively. The pHs showed similar changes during salting process from pH 8.40~8.63 for initial to pH 6.03~6.24 for final. The high salting(12.4~14%) of final brine needs dilution or reuse treatemnt before discard. The COD of final brine were increased to 39.6 ppm, 52.1 ppm, 37.7 ppm, respectively. During salting total microbial counts of final brine were increased ten times from those of the initial brines for all samples.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes of soil properties for potato and Chinese cabbage after application adding phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in the mounded highland soil from 1999 to 2001. Experimental plots were designed with control(NPK+Lime+Compost) and chemical improvement(Control+Application adding P and K). Mounded soil before field experiment of first year(1999) was low in organic matter, available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium, and the soil texture was loamy sand soil. After 3 years, the contents of soil organic matter increased a little, and available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium contents were remarkably increased. The crop growth in chemical improvement plot was better than control plot. Yield of chemical improvement plot in comparison with control plot was increased by 5~22% for potato and 6~25% for Chinese cabbage after 2~3 years.

Objective of this study was to evaluate the adaptation and the soil conservation effect of improved wild vine in sloped upland of highland about 600m from sea level in Korea. A mainly producing district of the improved wild vine in Korea was distributed 230m to 540m from sea level, and its rainfall ranged 1,200 to 1,700 mm. The lowest temperature was from -19.6 to $-25.4^{\circ}C$. Their soil texture was from sandy loam to clay loam, where drainage class was well drained and the contents of soil organic matter and total nitrogen in the improved wild vine's cultivation area were higher than those of Chinese cabbage's cultivation area in the highland. According to improved wild vine's cultivation methods, the amounts of soil erosion were 25.5,4.1, and $1.8MT\;ha^{-1}$ in clean culture, part sod + mulching, and nature sod, respectively. Those were below 30 to $80MT\;ha^{-1}$ of sloped upland at highland in Korea. The result suggests that it is possible to cultivate the improved wild vine over wintering at 600m of highland above the sea level. We can substitute the improved wild vine for Chinese cabbage in the highland for soil conservation.

The sugar beet cyst nematode, Heterodera schachtii is a well known pathogen on Chinese cabbage in the highland fields of Korea. However, a race of cyst forming nematode with close morphological resemblance to H. trifolii was recently isolated from the same Chinese cabbage fields. Morphological species differentiation between the two cyst nematodes is challenging, with only minor differences between them. Thus, this study described the newly intercepted H. trifolii population, and reviewed morphological and molecular characteristics conceivably essential in differentiating the two nematode species. A comparison of morphometric measurements of both infective juveniles and vulval cones of cysts showed significant differences between the two cyst nematodes. When total RNA and genomic DNA were extracted from a mixed field population, COI genes and ITS regions were clearly amplified with primers of the two Heterodera species, suggesting that Heterodera population collected from the Chinese cabbage field consisted of a mixture of two species. COI and ITS of H. trifolii were predominantly amplified from nucleotides prepared from H. trifolii monoxenic population whereas those of H. schachtii were strongly detected in H. schachtii monoxenic cultures. Thus, this study confirms the coexistence of the two species in some Chinese cabbage fields; and the presence of H. trifolii in Korea is reported here for the first time.

This study was conducted to investigate the developmental characteristics of cabbage armyworm, Mamestra brassicae L. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) by different temperatures and its seasonal occurrence in pepper field. Under four constant temperatures, 15, 20, 22 and $25^{\circ}C$, developmental periods from egg to adult were 88.3, 63.0, 52.3, and 42.8 days, respectively, with egg periods being 9.2, 6.2, 5.0 and 3.9 days, and larval periods being 40.5, 30.1, 23.3 and 21.2 days, respectively. Developmental threshold and thermal requirement in degree-days (DD) were $7.9^{\circ}C$ and 69.4 DD for egg, $4.8^{\circ}C$ and 434.8 DD for larva and $6.7^{\circ}C$ and 344.8 DD for pupa. Fecundity of female increased as temperature increased laying 1262.1 eggs at $15^{\circ}C$, 1663.8 eggs at $20^{\circ}C$ and 1763.2 eggs at $25^{\circ}C$. Mean numbers of eggs per egg-mass were 99.4, 114.7 and 167.9 under the three constant temperatures, respectively. In Daegwallyeong highland area, this noctuid occurred from mid June to late August and has two generations a year reaching peak two times, one at late June and the other at early August.

High temperature stresses have caused growth inhibition and delayed heading in highland cultivation Chinese cabbage during summer in Korea. We have studied high temperature stress responses in the terms of changes of inorganic components and proteins by proteomic analyses. Insufficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus have affected growth rate and calcium deficiency has caused blunted heading. Proteins extracted from Brassica seedling grown at the altitude of 600m and 900m in the Mount Jilun were extracted and analysed by 2-dimentional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Profiles of protein expression was then analyzed by 2-dimentional gel analyses. Protein spots showing different expression level were picked using the spot handling workstation and subjected to MALDI-TOF MS. Total 48 protein spots were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS and 30 proteins spots out of 48 were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting analyses. Fourteen proteins were up-regulated in extracts from the altitude of 900m and they were identified as oxygen-evolving proteins, rubisco activase and ATPase etc. Sixteen proteins were up-regulated in extracts from the altitude of 600m and they were identified as glutathione S-transferase(1, 28kD cold induced- and 24 kD auxin-binding proteins) and salt-stress induced protein etc. These stress-induced proteins were related to the mediated protective mechanism against oxidative damage during various stresses. The results indicated that physiological phenomenon in response to high temperature stresses might be resulted by complex and multiple array of responses with drought, heat, oxidative, salt, and cold by high temperature.
