A new vegetable soybean variety, “Danmiput” was selected from the cross Keunol/Wasehakucho (Introduced), and developed in 2002 on the basis of its yield performance and seed quality for vegetable soybean at the National Yeongnam Agricultural Station. “Dan

A new soybean variety, “Daol” was developed at the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station in 2002. It was selected from the cross Keunol//Josaengbaekjo/Keunol. The preliminary, advanced, and regional yield trials for evaluation and selection of

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among five cultivated Capsicum species were assessed using both mor-phological characters and DNA finger-printing patterns. Based on the clustering analysis using morphological characters withineach species

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

Three interspecific hybrid populations, Glycine max/G. gracilis, G. max/G. gracilis, and G. max/G. soja, were developed for genetic analysis. Genetic inheritance of 8 quantitative traits (days to flowering, days to maturity, reproductive period, leaf shap

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is known to produce the highest total digestible mutrients (TDN) yield among summer grain legumes in Jeju area but little is known about the effects of cultural practices on forage yield and quality. A determinate soybean cv. Baegunkong was planted on 5 June, 20 June, and 3 July and grown at four plant densities (30, 50, 70 and 90 plants m-2 in 1998 in Jeju to evaluate the effects of planting date and plant density on the yield and quality of soybean forage. Days to flowering decreased from 47 to 38 days, average plant height from 61 to 51cm and main stem diameter from 6.31 to 5.00mm as planting was delayed from 5 June to 3 July. Average plant height quadratically increased from 45 to 62cm as plant density increased from 30 to 90 plants m-2 . Planting date did not affect the average dry matter, crude protein, and TDN yields. The average dry matter and TDN yields displayed a quadratic response to plant density and the optimum plant density for both dry matter and TDN yields was estimated about 60 plants m-2 . Plant density had no effect on crude protein yield. Planting date did not significantly influence forage quality. The crude protein content was not significantly influenced by plant density. Increasing plant density slightly increased acid detergent fiber content but slightly decreased TDN content.
