Sweet potato infected with a viral disease (SPFMV) showed irregular chlorotic patterns, so called feathering associated with faint or distinct ring spots that have purple-pigmented borders. SPFMV was eliminated from sweet potato plants using meristem tip culture. MS medium supplemented with BAP (2mg/L) and NAA (0.05 mg/L) was used for shoot proliferation and 1/2 MS medium for rooting of the plants. Highest percentage of regenerated plants (60%) was obtained from the optimum size (0.3-0.5mm) meristem tips. Of these, 60% plants were found negative for SPFMV by RT-PCR. Virus detection by RT-PCR was found to be a reliable method. Meristem-tip culture to produce SPFMV-free quality sweet potato and virus detection by RT-PCR is an efficient, time saving and reliable method for production of SPFMV-free tissue culture raised plants.

This study was carried out to investigate the major agronomic traits of newly developed sweet corn(sh2) inbred lines and to analyze their genetic similarity using random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD). A total of 100 RAPDs were used to detect the polymor

Greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to determine the allelopathic potentials of extracts or residues from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam). The extracts applied on filter paper in a Petri dish bioassay significantly inhibited root growth of alfalfa. Aqueous leachates at 40g dry tissue ~textrmL-1 (g ~textrmL-1 ) from leaves showed the highest inhibition against alfalfa, and followed by stems and roots. Alfalfa root growth was significantly inhibited by methanol extracts of the same plants as the concentration increased. The effect of residue incorporation into soil on seedling growth of com, soybean, barnyard grass and eclipta was examined in the greenhouse, and results showed that the leaf residues at 200g ~textrmkg-1 by plant parts inhibited shoot dry and root dry weights of test plants by 60-80%. By means of HPLC, causative allelopathic substances present in plant parts of sweet potato "Sinyulmi" were identified as coumarin, trans-cinnamic acid, o-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid, and chlorogenic acid. Total content of these compounds for leaves extracts were detected as the greatest amount in EtOAc fraction, especially trans-cinnamic acid was the greatest component. These results suggest that sweet potato plants have herbicidal potentials, and that their activities exhibit differently depending on plant parts.ant parts.

과일류(단감, 감귤, 사과)를 습도조절이 가능한 원적외선방사체 저장고(5의 온도와 90%의 상대습도)에 저장한 결과 과일류의 선도유지기간이 연장되는 것을 확인하였고, 중량손실율은 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 저장한 과일류가 중량손실율이 대조구에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 습도조절이 가능한 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 과일류를 저장함으로서 과일류의 수분손실을 방지할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 일정기간동안 원적외선 방사체 저장고에 저장함으로써 as

The performance of 7 sugary (su) and 12 shrunken-2 (sh2) sweet com hybrids which are commercially grown in the United States was tested in Korea. The 100-seed weight of su hybrids (16.5-23.6 g) was much heavier compared to that of sh2 hybrids (10.9-17.5 g). The germination rate of su and sh2 hybrids at 25~circC ranged 93.3-100% and 86.7-98.9%, the emergence rate of su and sh2 hybrids in cold test ranged 78.9-97.8% and 62.2-97.8%, and field emergence rate of su and sh2 hybrids ranged 74.4-100.0% and 79.9-98.2%, respectively. In su hybrids, there was a significantly positive correlation between germination rate at 25~circC and emergence rate in cold test or early growth. In contrast, in sh2 hybrids seed weight was positively correlated with early plant growth, while not with the germination rate at 25~circC or emergence rate in cold test and field. Most sh2 hybrids produced larger and more marketable ears compared to su hybrids although there were significant differences among the hybrids in the same genotype. At harvest (24 days after pollination) soluble solids content of su hybrids (24.3-27.1 Brix %) was much higher than that of sh2 hybrids (13.8-18.0 Brix %), while total sugars of sh2 hybrids (21.4-28.6% on the dry weight basis) was much higher compared to su hybrids (2.4-15.9%). Considering germination and emergence rates, marketable ear production, and total sugar content, 'GCB 70' and 'Sweet Satin' in su hybrids and 'Ice Queen', 'Aspen', 'Sweet Magic', 'Bandit', 'Xtrasweet 82', 'Aspen', and 'Cambella 90' in sh2 hybrids performed better than other hybrids.

조기재배 고구마에서 2모작 재배용 묘를 생산하기 위하여 조기재배의 수량감소를 최소화하고, 2모작용 묘를 최대 생산하기 위한 최적 지상부 경엽절제에 대한 시험 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 무절제와 비교한 지상부 및 지하부의 생체중과 건물중은 15% 경엽절제 이하에서 수확기에 동일수준이었다. 2. 경엽절제 정도가 많아짐에 따라 지상부 경엽중의 감소는 주만장과 주만절수의 감소가 원인이었다. 3. 총저중이 20% 경엽절제까지 같은 수준이었던 것에 대하여 50g 이상의 상저중은 15% 경엽절제까지 무절제와 비교하여 동일 수준이었던 것은 경엽절제 정도가 많아짐에 따라 50g 이하의 설저의 증가로 상품화율이 감소했기 때문이었다.

The study was conducted to examine varietal variation of sweet rice- drink, `Sikhe`, made from seven glutimous rice cultivars. The alkali digestion value and protein content were significantly different among cooked rice materials, but the water absorptio

Sweet com seeds deteriorate faster due to low starch content than field com seeds when stored for a long tenn. This study had been conducted to observe the seed deterioration of four different sweet corns in a long tenn storage conditions in room temperature. Four kinds of sweet com genes (sh2, bt, su, and se) were harvested from 15 days to 50 days after silking with 5-day intervals. These seeds were stored in the room temperature and tested for germination percentages from 3 months to 18 months period with 3-month interval. su seeds germinated better than other types of gene. Hybrid Mecca which is sh2 gene germinated better when stored for 3 months to 18 months. For all genes, mean regression equations in relation to storage periods showed linear responses. For regression equation, the slope of sh2 gene was lower than that of su gene. The highest slope value was observed in bt gene showing faster deterioration rate. The rate at which seed deteriorates seems to be affected by the date at which it was harvested. The seeds that were harvested at the optimum time deteriorated more slowly than those which were not
