The effects of leaf removal time on variation of nodal sink components in determinated soybean ［Glycine max （L.） Merr.］ cultivar 'Danyeobkong' were measured at the experiment field of Chonbuk Provincial Rural Development Administration in 1991. Node order in this experiment was calculated from terminal node to bottom node to clarify the photosynthetic ability of canopy leaves. The upper 5 leaves from terminal node of main stem were removed at 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45 days after flowering(DAF) respectively. In spite of light-receiving increment in lower part of main stem and in branch by removing the upper part leaves of main stem, seed weight of that part was not increased in leaf removal treatment compared with control block. The node position reducing pod went down from terminal to bottom by delaying leaf removal time, and the influence of pod number reduction was bigger in DAF 25 than in DAF 15. But the seed number reduction per pod was the biggest in DAF 35. Cracked seed coat ratio ranged from 25% to 35% in control block, while that of leaf removal block had mostly 10% gap compared with the control block.rol block.

The effects of leaf and pod removal on variation of nodal sink components in determinate soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivar 'Danyeobkong' were measured at the experiment field of Chonbuk Provincial Rural Development Administration in 1991. Contrary to the conventional numbering system, node order in this experiment was numbered from top to bottom node. The leaves and pods of main stem from terminal to 5th node, below 6th node, or branches were removed at the growth stage of beginning pod(R3). In the leaf removal treatment, number and weight of pod and seed were highly decreased in upper part leaf removal, especially in removed part. In the pod removal treatment, number and weight of pod and seed were slightly increased in the other part. Cracked seed coat ratios were also high in the leaf removal treatment compared with control but low in the pod removal treatment.

To investigate antioxidative and antiaging effects of yellow and black soybeans in vivo system, male SD rats (n＝24) were fed the diets containing casein (C), yellow soybean (YS) or black soybean (BS) for 8 weeks. Experimental groups showed the preventive effect on lipid and protein oxidation, especially protein oxidation of plasma was significantly inhibited in BS group. SOD and catalase activities were not different among the groups, but hepatic glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) activity was significantly lowered in YS and BS groups compared with control group. The contents of superoxide anion radical in cytosol were significantly lowered in experimental groups compared with control group. And hydroxyl radical was slightly lowered in soybean groups. Lipofuscin accumulation on the heart and eyes of rats was effectively inhibited by yellow soybean and black soybean, respectively. In conclusion, these results suggest that yellow soybean and black soybean have the antioxidative/antiaging effect in vivo system and they have similar activities despite different color of seed coat.

This study was conducted to compare the changes of isoflavone content grown at different planting dates and to determine a relationship between growing periods and isoflavone content, in soybean. A total fifty six soybean varieties, including summer type soybean, Chinese varieties and domestic soybean varieties, were used this experiment. Mean total isoflavone content of domestic soybean varieties was higher than summer type soybean varieties and Chinese varieties. And, the soybean isoflavone content was significantly increased in growth at late planting dates. Soybean isoflavone contents was increased with longer reproductive growth period. While, the relationship between seed weight and isoflavone content showed significantly negative correlation coefficient, -0.57 at Apr. 15, -0.51 at May 15, and -0.38 at Jun. 15, respectively planting dates.

This objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of nutrition and isoflavone under light with soybean sprouts. Crude protein and crude fat content in green soybean sprouts were higher than common soybean sprouts. Aspartic acid and vitamin $B_1$, $B_2$, C and E content in green soybean sprouts were much higher than general. Green soybean sprouts had crude fiber con­tent slightly larger than normal. Mineral and vitamin C content in isomeal were three to five times larger than aspameal. Daidzein content in green soybean sprouts was 82.3 times larger than soybean seed. Also genistein content was increased 17.5 times.

Pseudomonas sp. antagonistic to Colletotrichum truncatum and C. gloesporioies was selected as a biological control agent for soybean anthracnose. Pseudomonas sp. inhibited the mycelial growth of pathogens effectively as the funhicides such as benomyl and fluazinam in vitro tests without any adverse effects on soybean. Seed treatment with Pseudomonas sp. increased emergence rate of soybean seeds significantly after inoculaton with C. truncatum. When the suspension of Pseudomonas sp. was sprayed on soybean plants, the control efficacy was not different from that of fungicides, benomyl and fluazinam two weeks after treatment, however the efficacy did not last long enough after three weeks.

The differential response of soybean cultivars with or without sulfur (S) application was observed under fold conditions. Plant biomass decreased by sulfur deficiency but the reduction was less in Bragg variety about 26 % relative to the control than other ones over 45%, probably due to less reduction in loaves and pods. The photosynthetic rate of Bragg cultivar was also unaffected by the absence of sulfur application while it depressed in other lines. Soybean cultivars were compared in terms of storage protein, protein quality and biomass production by application of sulfur nutrition. The storage protein concentration tended to decrease without sulfur application in all the cultivars, however the differential response of protein quality only by 11S/7S ratio to sulfur nutrition status was observed: For instance, Bragg cultivar had higher biomass and protein production but protein quality decreased at sulfur deficiency. On the other hand, biomass and protein production in other cultivars remained louver at sulfur deficiency but protein quality differed genetically in spite of sulfur nutrition status. These results suggest that the response of soybean to sulfur nutrition is controlled by genotypic difference and sulfur supply status.

The purpose of this study is to analyze antioxidant activity and multidrug resistance reversing activity in several Korean colored soybean (Glycine max Merr.) cultivars. Antioxidant activity of methanol extracts from colored soybean cultivars was evaluated by TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) methods. By means of TBARS, cultivar "Jeonnam #1" showed the highest activity until 7 days, and followed by "Black #1", "Jinyul" and "Black #3", showing lower activity than that of BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene). Methanol extracts of all cultivars proved that DPPH radical scavenging activity is dose-dependent. Methanol extract from cultivar "Jeonnam #1" showed highest DPPH radical scavenging activity, and followed by cultivars "Black #1". MDR (multi-drug resistance reversing) activity, however, showed the highest effect in "Black #3" and the lowest "Black #1" cultivar. These results suggest that seed colors of soybean may play an important role in antioxidant activity and MDR activity.

The preparation method for traditional kochujang (fermented hot pepper-soybean paste) at home were surveyed by 1,436 housewives through the country by premade questionnaires. The kochujang meju (Korean style soybean Koji for kochujang) were made by solely soybean (45.3% of respondents) or soybean with rice (26.3%) from September to November (52.2%) or December to February (32.7%). The shape of meju was either doughnut (28.4%) or brick (25.6%) type. Kochujang making seasons were either from March to May (56.6%) or December to February (25.0%) and it was prepared in proportion of mostly $6{\sim}10%$ meju powder (32%) with over 20% of red pepper powder (57.2%) prepared by seed removed dry red pepper. Subsidiary ingredients for kochujang making were boiled waxy rice (73.5%), malt (33.3%), corn syrup (18.9%) or corn syrup with malt (21.9%). After mixing all ingredients, kochujang in clay pot were occasionally exposed to the sun for fermentation for $3{\sim}4$ months (35.0%) or $1{\sim}2$ months (34.7%).

Soybean seeds were treated with blue, red and far-red lights for 0, 6, 12, and 24 hours during 24-hour imbibition before culture for 6 days. The soybean sprouts raised were classified by their hypocotyl lengths; normal (＞4cm), abnormal (＜4cm) and non-germination, and their lateral roots, hypocotyl diameters and component dry weights were measured. Red light treatment and dark imbibition reduced the abnormal soybean sprouts more than far-red and blue light treatments, meaning that the former treatments produced more commercial sprouts. The lateral roots were more formed in blue light and dark imbibition than the other light treatments, but were completely blocked by any light treatment lasted during the whole imbibition. Although any light quality treatment did not influence their primary root lengths, blue light one lengthened the hypocotyl more than the others treated during the imbibition, and far-red light enlarged its diameter. Despite this morphological change, component, total or economic yield was not significantly different among the light quality treatments during the imbibition.
