The present study investigated the floral scent pattern and intensity of the floral organs in various species and cultivars of Maxillaria at different flowering stages using an electronic nose with 6 metal oxide sensors. The scents of species and cultivars showed various patterns overall, especially that of M. tenuifolia. The scent patterns of cultivars derived from M. variabillis formed a clustere that differed greatly from the origin M. variabillis. In M. tenuifolia, the scent pattern differed by stage, and was strongest at the initial flowering stage. Each floral organ showed different scent patterns; the sepal emitted the strong scent of all floral organs. This study establishes baseline data for the analysis scent of Maxillaria scents and for breeding aromatic orchids.

본 연구는 국내에서 유통되고 있는 미니 카틀레야 6품종의 생육 최저온도와 기간 및 저온 피해증상을 통하여 저온 저항성을 평가하고자 하였다. ‘골든보이’, ‘옐로우돌’,‘에메랄드’, ‘차밍루비’, ‘러브캡슐’, ‘리틀레드’ 6품종을 실험재료로 사용하였으며, 온도처리는 5, 10, 15oC에서 각각 10, 20, 30일로 기간을 달리하여 생장상에서 처리하였다. 5oC에서 6품종 모두 처리기간이 길어질수록 피해엽율이 증가하였고, 피해증상으로는 잎이 황색으로 변하면서 탈리되거나 검은 수침상이 관찰되었다. 특히 6품종중 ‘골든보이’ 품종은 5oC 30일 처리에서 3%의 피해율을 보인 반면, ‘리틀레드’ 품종에서는 100%의 피해율을나타냈다. 또한 온도가 낮아지고 기간이 길어질수록 ‘옐로우돌’, ‘에메랄드’, ‘차밍루비’에서 엽수가 유의적으로 감소하여 5oC 30일 처리에서 엽수가 가장 적었다. 엽록소형광값(Fv/Fm)은 5oC 20일 처리에서 10일 처리보다 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 30일 처리구에서는 품종별로 ‘리틀레드’ 품종이 가장 낮은 값을 나타냈고, ‘에메랄드’와‘골든보이’에서 높게 나타났는데, 이는 피해엽율의 결과와 일치하였다. 10oC와 15oC에서는 처리기간에 따라 큰변화를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 6품종 중 ‘골든보이’ 품종이 저온에 가장 강한 특성을 가지고 있었고, ‘리틀레드’ 품종은 저온에 가장 약한 것으로 여겨졌다. 또한 품종에 따라 차이는 있지만 미니 카틀레야의 겨울철 재배 시최저 10oC 이상의 온도로 관리할 것을 권장하며, 그 이하의 온도에서는 장기간 노출되지 않도록 관리하는 것이 필요하다.

감자 품종별 일반성분, 유리당, 유기산, 유리아미노산을 분석하였고 물결합력 및 oil 흡수력, 색도를 측정한 결과 감자 품종에 따라 영양성분 함량 및 이화학적 특성의 차이를 보였다. 조단백질 함량은 서홍이 높았고 조회분은 추강이 높았다. 감자의 유리당 함량은 sucrose, glucose, fructose 순으로 함유되어 있었으며 주 유기산으로는 oxalic acid, citricacid, malic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid이었다. 감자 23품종의 필수, 비필수 아미노산 함량은 각각 60.33-550.91 μmol/100 g, 30.44-1,0998.58 μmol/100 g 범위였다. 감자 품종 중 대지가 물 결합력이, 자심이 oil흡수력이 높았고 특히 칩 가공용인 대서와 가원과 비슷하거나 낮은 oil흡수력 을 보인 추백, 조풍, 하령, 신남작도 지방함량을 줄일 수 있는 가공제품에 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

1. 야콘의 덩이뿌리는 ‘땅속의 과일’ 또는 ‘올리고당의 왕’으로 불리우며 기능성 성분으로 프락토올리고당을 함유하고있다.2. 야콘의 프락토올리고당은 난소화성의 당질로서 주요 성분으로 케스토즈(kestose), 니스토즈(nystose) 등이 있다.3. 야콘의 프락토올리고당은 프리바이오틱스(prebiotics)로서장내 유산균인 비피더스 균 증식, 미네랄 흡수 촉진, 정장 기능, 지질대사 개선, 항비만 효과, 심혈관계 질환 예방 및 중성지방 합성 감소 역할을 한다.4. 야콘의 식품학적 기능성 및 우수성을 다른 뿌리작물과 비교하고자 프락토올리고당 함량을 조사한 결과, 야콘 8.1%, 마늘 3.3%, 우엉 2.0% 순으로서, 야콘이 가장 우수하였다.5. 또한 저장기간 변화에 따른 프락토올리고당 함량 변화 양상을 조사한 결과 저장기간이 길어질수록 그 함량이 감소하였으며, 저장 1개월부터 그 함량이 8.1%에서 4.8%로 59% 이상급격히 감소하였다. 따라서 저장조건 개선연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 6. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 야콘의 기능성 식품소재로의 다양한 연구가 가능할 것이다.

whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) have a wide host range including cucumber, tomato, and pepper, resulting in loss of crop yield. In this study, we tested larvicidal efficacy of several on-the-market environment–friendly agricultural materials (EFAM) to select the effective products after the target pests were stabilized in indoor rearing condition. The developmental periods of two whiteflies are as follows: in the case of T. vaporariorum, egg duration is 9.6 days, and nymph is 18.9 days, and in the case of B.tabaci, egg durationis 7.4 days, and nymph is 15.2 days under 25℃ with relative humidity (RH) of 60±5% and a photoperiod of 16L : 8D. The total period of T. vaporariorum as 5 days longer than B. tabaci. Among 22 EFAMs six products showed more than 60% of insecticide efficacy for against T. vaporariorum BTVB, BTVD, BTVG, BTVL, BTVM, and BTVS. On the other hand, seven EFAM products including showed over 60% of insecticide efficacy against B. tabaci BTVD, BTVG, BTVK, BTVL, BTVM, BTVN, and BTVU. In the case of Spodptera litura previously, xxEFAMs were tesed against 2nd instar S.litura, and EFAMs were found to have more than 90% efficacy. Test of these six EFAMs against entire larval stages were performed in this study. Although some of these products showed still more than 90% of insecticidal efficacy against up to 3rd instar larvae, the efficacy of these EFAMs sharply decreased as ages increase, result is less than 60% of efficacy of the products at most. This result indicates the difficulty to control S. litura with the on-the-market EFAMs alone under economic injury level. Collectively, it is required to find more EFAMs and find alternative method to control those insect pests tested in this study.

Floral scents and metabolites from cut flowers of 14 peony cultivars (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) were analyzed to discriminate different cultivars and to compare the Korean cultivar with the other cut peonies imported to Korea using electronic nose (E-nose) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant function analysis (DFA) dendrogram of peony floral scents were not precisely same but there were 3 groups including same cultivars. PCA and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) dendrograms of peony metabolites showed that different cut peony cultivars were clustered into two major groups including same cultivars. Fragrance pattern of Korean ‘Taebaek’ was classified to same group with ‘Jubilee’ on the PCA and DFA results and its metabolite pattern was clearly discriminated by the PCA and PLS-DA compared to the other cultivars. These results show that the 14 peony cut flowers could be discriminated corresponding to their chemical relationship and the metabolic profile of Korean ‘Taebaek’ has distinctive characteristics. Furthermore, we suggest that these results could be used as the preliminary data for breeding new cut peony cultivars and for improving the availability of Korean cut peony in cosmetic industry.

The potato tuber is known as a rich source of essential nutrients, used throughout the world. Although potatobreeding programs share some priorities, the major objective is to increase the genetic potential for yield through breeding or to eliminate hazards that reduce yield. Glycoalkaloids, which are considered a serious hazard to human health, accumulate naturally in potatoes during growth, harvesting, transportation, and storage. Here, we used the AMMI (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) and GGE (Genotype main effect and genotype by environment interaction) biplot model, to evaluate tuber yield stability and glycoalkaloid content in six potato cultivars across three locations during 2012/2013. The environment on tuber yield had the greatest effect and accounted for 33.0% of the total sum squares; genotypes accounted for 3.8% and G×E interaction accounted for 11.1% which is the nest highest contribution. Conversely, the genotype on glycoalkaloid had the greatest effect and accounted for 82.4% of the total sum squares), whereas environment and G×E effects on this trait accounted for only 0.4% and 3.7%, respectively. Furthermore, potato genotype ‘Superior’, which covers most of the cultivated area, exhibited high yield performance with stability. ‘Goun’, which showed lower glycoalkaloid content, was the most suitable and desirable genotype. Results showed that, while tuber yield was more affected by the environment, glycoalkaloid content was more dependent on genotype. Further, the use of the AMMI and GGE biplot model generated more interactive visuals, facilitated the identification of superior genotypes, and suggested decisions on a variety of recommendations for specific environments.

Floral pattern plays a vital role in flower structure. The most basic factors that make up the floral pattern are spots and lines in Sedirea japonica. These factors were expressed in a various pattern according to their location and the type of the flower. Frequent expression pattern is higher in the left side of lateral sepal and labellum than petal and dorsal sepal. The expression type in one plant is usually very different according to right or left of sepals, flowering orders, and flowering times and in some individuals, expression pattern remained constant in all flowers. Two hybrids from the cross between Hygrochilus parishii and H. pasishii var. purpureus hybrid (Hongjadan) have shown similar flower characteristics (flower size, flower background color, and pattern distribution) to those of H. pasishii with the exception of the pattern, size, and expression of the number of spots, and pattern shape of labellum including morphology. The flower of an offspring from Hongjadan x S. japonicum (K10) showed petals and sepals without pattern, red flecks, red spot, and red sectors. The shape and back ground color of labellum were similar to those of Hongjadan and S. japonica. The results of this study will be helpful for breeding new cultivars of Sedirea japonica.

The effect of biofertilizer (compound of microbial inoculants or groups of micro-organisms) on growth and yield of rice was investigated. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications and 7 treatments namely: RF=N-P2O5-K2O (11-5.5-4.8 kg 10a-1 ); half of the recommended fertilizer rate, HRF=N-P2O5-K2O (5.5-2.75-2.4 kg 10a-1 ); HRF+Bio 250=HRF combined with 250 kg biofertilizer 10a-1 ; HRF+Bio 500=HRF combined with 500 kg biofertilizer 10a-1 ; Bio 250=250 kg biofertilizer 10a-1 ; Bio 500=500 kg biofertilizer 10a-1 ; and NF = No Fertilizer. Results showed that the recorded values of plant height, tiller number and chlorophyll content at 40 to 60 days after transplanting (DAT) in HRF+Bio 500 were significantly higher than those recorded in the RF treatment. Similar observations between these two treatments were only recorded from 60 DAT onwards. Yield components were also superior in HRF+Bio 500 treatment and comparable to that of RF. The highest grain yield obtained in HRF+Bio 500 treatment (785.8 kg 10a-1 ) was statistically similar to that of RF (739.8 kg 10a-1 ) but significantly higher than that of NF (506.7 kg 10a-1 ). Finally, head grain recovery (90.9) was low while chalkiness (0.03) was high at HRF+Bio 500 treatment as compared with RF, which were (96.1) and (0.3), respectively. Results showed that combined treatment of HRF and 500 kg biofertilizer 10a-1 has similar effects on the growth and yield of rice with that of RF.
