Sinjami' is a new sweetpotato variety with purple flesh developed from the Mokpo Experiment Station, National Honam Agricultural Experiment Station (NHAES), Rural Development Administration (RDA) in 2001. This variety was selected from the cross between '

To evaluate growth habits, fresh pod yield potential, and possibility of early and late seeding, seeding dates were extended from March 21 to June 20 by PE mulching and non-mulching. Soil temperature, under 5cm from surface, above 15~circC at 10 a.m. in early seeding reached about March 25 in mulching and April 5 to April 12 in non-mulching. Days to emergence and first flowering were accelerated owing to increasing temperature, as seeding was delayed. Days to emergence according to seeding dates reduced 21 to 8 day in mulching and 33 to 10 day in non-mulching. Days to flowering were ranged from 51 to 26 day in mulching and from 69 to 32 day in non-mulching and differences between mulching and non-mulching on each seeding date had 18 to 4 days. Early seedings till April 21 had 160-170 flowers per plant for 8 weeks, while late seedings from May 21 increased more speedily with 200 flower for 6 weeks. Harvesting of fresh peanut, at 80 days after first flowering, was possible from Aug. 1 to Oct. 7 (133-108 days to harvest) by mulching and from Aug. 19 to Oct. 12 (151 to 114 days) by non-mulching. Yields between mulching and non-mulching in early seeding until April 21 had more difference, but in late seeding after May 21 was higher and showed insignificance. Pod setting periods by early and late seeding were about 3 weeks equally. In late seeding pod setting were almost concentrated for front 15 days. In spite of difference of fresh pod weight between two seeding times, the distributions of average of seed weight showed nearly same tendency.

A new sesame variety 'Namback'was developed at the National Crop Experiment Station through a cross between commercialiy utilized varieties of high yielding 'Danbackkae' and late seeding of second cropping daptable 'Chinjukkae' at 1989 and had been select

A new covered barley variety, 'Daeyeonbori' was developed from the cross between Milyangketbori, a stabile for machine harvest, and Olbori by the barley breeding team in the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES) in 1999. An elite line,

Sunmang' is a new rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) of F₁ hybrid with high yield and high quality for oil and meal. This hybrid was developed from the cross between Mokpo-CGMS (male sterile line) and 84055-B-10-3-1-6 (restore line) in 1996. It was a

The backcross population obtained from a reciprocal cross between PD7 (A. inodora × 수식 이미지 A. psittacina) and P002 (A. inodora) was used for the QTL analysis. A total of 122 individual BC₁ 수식 이미지 plants were scored for 12 traits and interval ma

Genetic linkage maps of Alstroemeria Brazilian species were constructed using AFLP markers. Reciprocal backcross mapping population with 122 individuals was obtained between A. inodora and A. psittacina, Brazilian species that are commonly used in the com

Scented lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) may be highly valued in certain lettuce growing areas, and the trait may be useful as a marker for genetic studies in lettuce. Crosses were made between the scented cultivar ‘Baimach’ and the nonscented cultivar ‘Oaklea

The main problem of the Korean rice improvement program is narrow genetic background of genepool used as crossing parents. Although some successes have been reported for introduction of genes from the germplasm of distant genetic relationship such as indi

The natural pigment Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) content of rice bran was analyzed with different polishing degrees in pigment layer of Heugjinjubyeo produced at National Crop Experiment Station in 1999. The general composition of rice bran of Heugjinjubyeo

현행 유기식품생산에 관한 국제규격인 IFOAM Basic Standard와 Codex guidelines이 지나치게 유럽과 미주의 밭농사 위주에 적합하도록 규정되어져 있어, 논농사 위주의 아시아 유기농업에 얼마나 불공정한 국제규약인가를 지적하고 있으며, 가까운 장래에 이러한 불공정 유기농업 국제규격이 대폭 수정 개정되어야 함을 주장하고 있다. 또한 세계3대 식량 작물의 하나인 벼에 대한 유기식품생산규격이 없는 까닭에 소농규모 및 논농사 중심의 아시아 유

We compared the long-term metabolic effects of equal amounts of carbohydrate from potato, rice and buckwheat on glycemic indices and blood lipids in healthy subjects. Nine healthy volunteers-2 men and 7 women were studied. All subjects ate diets based on the same-7-day rotating menu differing only in that the major source of carbohydrate (about 50% of daily total calories) came either from buckwheat, rice or potato. The study was conducted with a triple crossover design over three 7 day periods. On the morning of the 8th day, fasting blood was drawn from each subject to determine serum glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total and HDL-cholesterol. Subjects were then asked to eat breakfast with their respective carbohydrate within a 20 min period. Blood samples were drawn at 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after the start of breakfast to determine glucose and insulin levels. At 30 min the glucose response to the rice meal(7.15mmol/L) and potato meal(6.71mmol/L) were greater than the response to the buckwheat meal(5.855mmol/L) (P < 0.05). The mean area under the glucose response to the curve following the rice meal was greater than that following the buckwheat meal(P < 0.05). The insulin responses to the potato and rice meals at 30 and 60 min were greater than those to the buckwheat meal (P < 0.05). The mean area under the serum insulin response curve after the rice meal was greater than of buckwheat. Blood lipids, uric acid and glycosylated hemoglobin were not affected by the three meals. The study shows that the buckwheat meal has more beneficial effects on glycemic indices than either the rice meal or potato meal in healthy subjects.

Momilactones A and B, the major phytotoxins and phytoalexins in rice plants, were quantified by a HPLC-APCI-MS-MS (APCI-MS-MS) system under multiple reaction monitoring conditions. Since MA and MB were found to be easily extracted with water, these phytotoxic compounds may affect germination and growth of other plant species when the rice straws were left in the fields.
