This study was conducted to evaluate quality and anthocyanin content of ‘Tarocco’ orange fruit in order to support early harvest. Harvest times were set at 280 days after anthesis (DAA), 300 DAA, and 320 DAA (conventional harvest). The fruits were classified as those having an intense reddish color or a yellowish orange color in the rind. The fruits were stored during 45 days at 8oC, for low temperature storage, or 18oC, for room temperature storage in winter. The changes in the fruit quality were measured at 15-days interval. The reddish rind fruit had slightly higher sugar content than the orange fruits with yellowish rind, but had similar acidity. A sugar content of 13.0 oBrix or more was recorded for fruits harvested 280 DAA with 45 days of low-temperature storage. A similar finding was recorded after 15 days of low temperature storage for the fruits harvested 300 DAA with 30 days for the conventional harvest. The anthocyanin content was higher for fruits with later harvest time (37.8 mg·L-1) and longer storage period in both low and winter room temperatures (25.2-53 mg·L-1 and 10.3-51.9 mg·L-1, respectively). For all harvest periods, the peel and juice color intensity increased after 15 days of low temperature storage and remained constant regardless of the storage temperature. The result indicated that the fruit quality and anthocyanin content of fruits harvested 300 DAA was better than fruits harvested 320 DAA (conventional harvest), stored 15 days at 8oC or 30 days at 18oC after harvesting 300 DAA.

잎들깨 수경재배 시 적합한 고형배지를 선발하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. ‘남천’과 ‘소미랑’ 2품종에 대해 코이어 (chip:dust = 5:5), 펄라이트, 입상 암면, 원예용 상토(cocopeat: peatmoss:vermiculite:perlite:zeolite = 50:25:10:10:5) 등 4종의 배지에 따른 배지의 물리화학적 특성 및 생육반응을 분 석하였다. 배지 간의 EC와 pH의 차이는 보이지 않았으나, 용 기용수량 측정 결과 입상 암면이 가장 높고 원예용 상토와 코 이어가 적절한 수준을 유지하였다. 배지의 기상률은 코이어 와 펄라이트가 30% 이상으로 높은 경향을 보였으며 가비중은 코이어 배지를 제외한 모든 배지가 기준을 충족하였다. 잎의 크기는 품종 간에 배지에 따른 반응이 다르게 나타났는데 ‘남 천’ 품종은 원예용 상토에서 엽장, 엽폭이 가장 컸고 ‘소미랑’ 의 경우 코이어에서 재배하였을 때 가장 컸다. 엽중은 두 품종 모두 원예용 상토에서 재배한 것이 가장 높았고, 코이어와 펄 라이트에서 재배한 것이 상대적으로 낮았다. 총 생산량을 조 사한 결과 수량이 높은 원예용 상토 및 입상 암면과 수량이 낮 은 코이어, 펄라이트로 두 그룹으로 구분되는 형태를 보였으 며 그룹 간에 최대 28% 차이를 보였다. 따라서 근권에 충분한 수분 공급이 필요한 잎들깨를 수경재배하기 위해서는 보수력 이 좋은 원예용 상토와 입상 암면을 이용하는 것이 적합할 것 으로 판단한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of cane-based fruiting position on fruit quality at harvest in a golden-flesh kiwifruit variety, ‘Sweet Gold’ (Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis). The vines were grown on a pergola-trained system, under a protected plastic film house in Jeju, Korea. The cane-based fruiting positions were classified into six sectors with three sectors acropetally from the trunk to the apex of the leader, and two sectors acropetally from the leader to the apex of the cane. Fruits positioned in sectors far away from the trunk (sectors three and six) tended to be heavier, whereas fruits in sectors close to the trunk (sectors one and four) exhibited higher dry matter, soluble solid contents, and flesh coloration. The highest firmness was obtained at the fruits positioned far from the trunk and leader (sector six). Titratable acidity was slightly impacted. The highest starch content was obtained from the fruits of sector six far from the trunk and leader, whereas the highest soluble sugar content was from sector one proximal to the trunk and leader. Results indicate appreciable variations in fruit quality parameters at harvest, among fruits at different fruiting positions within vines. However, these variations were inconsistent over the years, and there were no distinct correlations among these fruit quality parameters.

장미의 단일 마디 삽목의 경우 온도, 상대 습도 및 광과 같은 환경 관리가 생산성에 영향을 미친다. 기온과 상대습도가 삽 목 성공률과 묘 소질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 장미 (Rosa hybrida) ‘Maisie’ 품종과 투명한 플라스틱 박스를 이 용하였으며 인공조명(white LED, PPFD 104.0μmol·m-2·s-1) 을 이용하여 전 기간 밀폐 조건에서 삽목 시 가장 효과적인 소 엽수와 광주기 조건을 구명하고자 하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 밀 폐 기간을 달리하여 총 6주 동안 진행되었다. 밀폐 기간이 길 어질수록 뿌리수와 가장 긴 뿌리의 길이가 감소하였다. 그러 나 밀폐 기간에 따른 생존율, 신초발생률, 발근율에 유의한 차 이가 없었다. 두 번째 실험에서는 삽수 생존율과 신초발생률 이 광주기(0/24, 2/22, 4/20, 8/16, 16/8h)와 삽수 소엽의 개수 (0, 2, 4)에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 생존율은 명기 16시간, 소엽 4개 처리구에서 가장 높았다. 생존율과 신초발 생률을 에너지 효율과 함께 고려한 결과, 소엽을 2개 또는 4개 붙인 삽수를 이용하여 하루 8시간 광을 조사하는 것이 가장 효 과적인 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 FT-IR 스펙트럼 데이터를 기반으로 다변량통계분석을 이용하여 생육 온도변화에 따른 파파야(Carica papaya L.)의 대사체 수준 식별을 통해 기후 변화에 대응하여 작물의 육종 연구의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. 1. FT-IR 스펙트럼 데이터로부터 PCA(principal component analysis), PLS-DA(partial least square discriminant analysis) 그리고 HCA(hierarchical clustering analysis) 분석을 실시하였다. 2. 파파야 품종은 1700–1500, 1500–1300, 1100–950 cm-1부 위에서 대사체의 양적, 질적 패턴 변화가 FT-IR 스펙트럼상에 서 나타났다. FT-IR 스펙트럼의 1700–1500 cm-1부위는 주로 Amide I 과 II을 포함하는 아미노산 및 단백질계열의 화합물 들의 질적, 양적 정보를 나타내고, 1500–1300 cm-1부위는 phosphodiester group을 포함한 핵산 및 인지질의 정보가 반영이 되고, 1100–950 cm-1부위는 단당류나 복합 다당류를 포함 하는 carbohydrates 계열의 화합물들이 질적, 양적 정보가 반영되는 부위이다. 3. PCA score plot 상측으로부터 +0oC(A)에서 +4oC(C)로 변화하는 것을 볼 수 있다. (A) 그룹은 주로 현재 기온에서 재배되는 파파야가 분포되면서 그룹을 형성하고 있고, (B) 그 룹은 평년 기온에서 +2oC 증가한 것을 가정하여 재배된 파파야가 그룹을 형성하였다. 또한, (C) 그룹은 (B) 그룹에서 +2oC, 평년 기온에서 +4oC 증가한 것을 가정하여 재배된 파파야가 그룹을 형성하였다. 4. PLS-DA 분석의 경우 PCA 분석보다 생육온도에 따른 그룹 간 식별이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 5. 본 연구에서 확립된 파파야 생육온도에 따른 대사체 수준 식별 기술은 파파야의 품종, 계통의 신속한 선발 수단으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대되며 육종을 통한 신품종개발 가속화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

본 연구는 과육색이 노란 국내 육성 키위 ‘Jecy Gold’ 품종의 수확 적기 판정과 후숙 후 당도 예측 방법을 개발하고자 수행하였다. 과실 생육 단계 중 과실 비대기는 BBCH 70~78(DAA 10~110), 과실 성숙 단계는 BBCH 80(DDA 140), 당도가 급격히 증가하는 시기는 BBCH 83(DDA 160), 과육이 부드러워지는 시기는 BBCH 87(DAA 190), 과실이 노화되는 시기는 BBCH 90(DDA 210)이었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 BBCH 83(DAA 160일)에서 수확하는 것이 가장 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다. 후숙 전 과실 건물률과 후숙 후 당도가 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 후숙 전 건물률을 이용하여 후숙 후 당도를 예측하기 위하여 회귀분석을 수행한 결과, 후숙 후 당도(y)=1.1841ⅹ건물율(x)-3.5244(r²=0.9338)으로 나타났으며, 실측 값과 예측 값을 이용하여 회귀분석을 수행한 결과, 상관계수 R² 값이 0.86으로 높게 나타났다. 따라서 수확 시기의 건물률을 이용하면 후숙 후 당도를 추정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 키위 ‘Halla Gold’, ‘Sweet Gold’ 및 ‘Enza Gold’ 품종에서 꽃가루 품종 및 희석 비율이 과실 품질 및 종자 형성에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 수행되었다. 1. 화분관은 인공수분 2일 또는 3일 후에 밑씨에 도달하였는데, 그 양상은 꽃가루 품종과 희석 비율에 따라 차이가 있 었다. 화분관 신장은 ‘Halla Gold’와 ‘Sweet Gold’에는 ‘Bohwa’가 ‘Enza Gold’에는 ‘Chieftian’이 좋았으나 ‘Enza Gold’에서는 반대의 경향이었다. 중국산 꽃가루 희석 비율에 따른 화분관 신장은 20배 희석에서 다소 낮은 경향이었다. 2. ‘Hall Gold’, ‘Sweet Gold’ 및 ‘Enza Gold’에서 과중과 건물 률은 ‘Bohwa’로 수분했을 때 높은 경향을 보였다. 종자 수에 있어서 ‘Halla Gold’와 ‘Sweet Gold’에서는 과중과 건물률과 유사한 경향이었으나, ‘Enaza Gold’에서는 반대의 경향을 나타냈다. 3. ‘Enza Gold’에서 중국산 수입 꽃가루 희석비율에 따른 과중 및 건물률은 1~10배에서는 큰 차이가 없이 높은 편이나 20배에서는 가장 낮은 경향이었다. 종자 수 및 100립 중도 유사한 경향이었다.

The study aimed to evaluate the damage persistence during subsequent years in kiwifruit vines defoliated by strong wind such as typhoons. Artificial defoliation was treated on five-year-old ‘Jecy Gold’ kiwifruit vines grown in a plastic house in year 2013 and 2014 by applying four levels of defoliation, i.e., 0, 50, 75, and 100% in August 23, 2013 and 100% defoliation in July 28 and August 29, 2014, respectively. Return bloom and fruit quality were investigated in the following two years, 2014 and 2015. A significant reduction in number of flowers per shoot in the following year, 2014 was recorded for the vines with 50%, 75%, and 100% defoliations treated in 2013 compared to the control vines. The number of flowers per florescence was significantly reduced for defoliated vines. Nevertheless, the fruit quality parameters, i.e., fruit length, width, weight, firmness, TSS, acidity, and dry matter content were not significantly different for the defoliated vines compared to the control vines. The vines defoliated in 2013 at 75% and 100% levels showed a significant reduction of number of flower per inflorescence in 2015 compared to the 0% defoliation. However, the number of flowers per shoot and fruit quality were not significantly different. Also, the number of flowers per inflorescence in 2015 was significantly reduced by July 28, 2014 or August 29, 2014 defoliation compared to non-defoliated vines while the number of flowers per shoot, and fruit quality in 2015 were not significantly different between treatments and control vines. Accordance with the present findings, the flowering is considerably affected by the shortage of carbohydrate supply than the fruit quality of ‘Jecy Gold’ kiwifruit. In addition, the negative impacts of severe defoliation in flowering of ‘Jecy Gold’ kiwifruit might be persisted more than one season from the time of defoliation and consequently, the total yield might be reduced in the following seasons after defoliation.

Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri is a notorious disease affecting a decrease in fruit productivity and quality. Citrus export to USA is also prohibited by the disease. Therefore, development of citrus canker resistant variety is essential and exploitation of markers for molecular breeding is urgent. To develop DNA molecular markers, we performed whole genome resequencing for 8 varieties: 4 citrus canker resistant varieties including C. hybrid ‘Kioymi’ and 4 citrus canker susceptible varieties including C. iyo ‘Miyauchiiyokan’. In total, 642 polymorphic SNPs were detected between resistant and susceptible varieties. Of the 642 SNPs, 50 SNPs were preferably selected based on integrative genomics viewer. To apply the markers in a broad range of citrus variety, we performed genotyping with 6 other varieties very well known as citrus canker resistant and susceptible varieties in addition to previous mentioned 8 varieties. Three of the 50 SNPs were identified as a marker to distinguish citrus canker resistant varieties from susceptible varieties. Secondly, we developed molecular markers to apply for F1 lines crossed by ‘Kiyomi’ and ‘Miyauchiiyokan’. Of the 50 SNPs, we identified 2 SNP markers to distinguish between F1 resistant and susceptible lines. One of them is a resistance gene that plays a role in plant defense mechanism. In this study, we developed 5 molecular marker candidates possible to apply for molecular breeding to develop citrus canker resistant variety. We are working on development of candidate markers related to citrus canker.

Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. citri is one of economically important diseases in the citrus industry. The devastating bacterial disease results in unattractive quality and a significant reduction in fruit production. Citrus growers and industry in Korea has been struggling with the serious disease causing the prohibition of export market. Korea also became the top import market for oranges. The development of markers linked to citrus canker resistance is strongly needed. In this study, we investigated molecular markers between ‘Kiyomi’ (Citrus unshiu ｘ C. sinensis), a resistant cultivar, and Natsudaidai (C. natsudaidai), a susceptible cultivar. To develop markers, we focused on structural variation (copy number variation, CNV, and presence/absence variation, PAV). It has been well documented that CNV and PAV of defense-related genes are associated with resistant cultivars. Using a read depth approach following next-generation sequencing, we performed genome-wide analysis of CNV and PAV in two varieties. As a result, 633 genes showing at least two times difference between the mapping reads from two varieties and 61 genes showing presence of the mapping reads in only either one of them were screened. Visual inspection using the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) was performed and experimental validation is being investigated. Interestingly, one of PAV candidates showed polymorphism in ‘Kiyomi’ and ‘Natsudaidai’ as well as other resistant and susceptible cultivars. Our results suggest a necessity for the detection of structural variation and indicate that the candidates may be useful for molecular breeding for citrus canker resistance and understanding disease resistance mechanism.

“Jecy Gold” is a new kiwifruit variety developed at the National Institute of Subtropical Agriculture (NISA), RDA in 2003, which was for the utilization as fruit with yellow flesh and high soluble solids. This variety was selected from seeds obtained from the cross breeding between Actinidia chinensis cv. “Golden Yellow” and A. chinensis cv. “Songongu” with yellow flesh in 1997. Seedling and line selections were conducted from 1998 to 1999, and characteristic trials were carried out from 2000 to 2002. After developed, it was also conducted to the test of adaptability in kiwifruit orchards of Jeju island from 2003 to 2006. The branch of “Jecy Gold” sprouts strongly and the color of leaf is slightly dark green. The shape of fruit is obovoid, and the color of peel is yellowish-brown without hair. The average weight of fruit is 128.4 g. The core is middle and soft, the percicarp is golden yellow, and the texture is fragile and juicy. Soluble solids concentration is 14.8 oBrix. The total acid content is 0.69% and the fruit yield is higher about 30% than that of A. deliciosa cv. “Hayward”. The content of vitamin C is higher than that of A. deliciosa cv. “Hayward”. The harvesting time is from late October to early November and the fruit can be preserved about 90 days at 2°C. This variety can be planted bellow 100 m sea level and should be grown under shelter to prevent from disease and cold. This variety will be cultivated about 100 ha by 2011 in the southern part of Korea and has been supplied about 10 ha in 2007.
