본 연구는 코이어 배지를 이용한 오이 수경재배에서 배지 포 수액의 종류와 정식 방법에 따른 생육 및 생산성을 검증하여 가장 효율성이 높은 재배 방법의 선발을 위하여 수행되었다. 포수액은 배양액(S)과 원수(W), 육묘는 암면큐브 육묘(RC), 암면 플러그묘(RP), 슬라브 직파(DS)로 하였다. 재배 기간을 동일하게 하기 위하여 기준일은 파종일로 하였다. 초기 생육 량은 S 처리에 서 유의하게 높았으나, 생육기간이 길어질수록 처리 간 차이가 감소하였다. 정식 방법과 생육량 간에는 관계 성이 나타나지 않았으나, 포수 방법에 따라 동일한 정식방법 간에도 다른 결과가 나타났다. 생산성도 동일한 경향으로 초 기 수확기인 파종 후 6－8주까지는 S 처리에서 수확과의 수가 유의하게 많았으며, 이후 동일한 기간 수량의 격차가 해소되 었다. 누적 수량은 초기 수확량의 차이로 인하여 S 처리에서 유의하게 높았다. 식물체의 생육과 과실 생산성은 유사한 경 향으로 선형적인 관계성을 나타내었다. 정식 방법 간에는 상 관성을 나타내지 않았으나, S의 DS 처리가 초기 근권부 안정 적인 양·수분 공급으로 초기 생육 및 수량이 가장 많은 경향이 었다. 따라서 S 처리한 배지에 DS 방식이 식물체의 생육 및 생 산성에 가장 유리할 뿐만 아니라 재배단계 간소화를 통한 노 동력 및 생산 원가 절감으로 경제성 측면에서도 기여할 수 있 을 것으로 생각된다.

This study examines the characteristics of berries from secondary bearing shoots of ‘Scintilla’ southern highbush blueberry, grown hydroponically in the Jinju, Gimhae, and Uiryeong regions of Gyeongnam Province. Typically, ‘Scintilla’ forms flower buds at the tips of regular bearing shoots during the previous season, yielding berries in the current season. However, under heated cultivation, we observed a proliferation of secondary bearing shoots that produce berries in the same growing season. Flowering and harvesting on secondary bearing shoots were delayed by 52 and 36 days, respectively, compared to regular bearing shoots. However, these shoots exhibited a 54% increase in diameter and a 10% increase in length. We found no significant difference in berry size and soluble solid content between the two types of shoots. Notably, berries from the secondary bearing shoots had higher potassium and lower calcium and magnesium concentrations. We conclude that berries from secondary bearing shoots could be marketable, provided the bushes are healthy. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing cultural practices to improve the yield and quality of blueberries under specific environmental conditions.

Yellow-fleshed "Sweet Gold" kiwifruit on Jeju Island were studied to examine how irrigation and soil moisture control affected changes in photosynthetic traits and fruit quality during fruit maturation (120 to 170 days after full bloom). Concerning photosynthetic characteristics, the photosynthetic rate decreased by 10-19%, stomatal conductance by 24-47%, and transpiration rate by 8-25%, when compared to conventional irrigation, as irrigation was reduced and soil moisture content decreased. Fruit weight showed a tendency to increase until harvest, and while a lower soil moisture content led to a less pronounced increase in fruit weight, this difference was not statistically significant. The dry matter rate exhibited a similar trend to the change in fruit weight. Sugar content demonstrated a continuous increase after 130 days, with lower irrigation amounts resulting in higher levels of sugar content due to decreased soil moisture. The Hue value (h°) exhibited a continuous decrease after 140 days from full bloom, correlating with declining soil moisture content. After 130 days from full bloom, soluble sugar content increased rapidly while starch content gradually decreased after 150 days from full bloom. However, with conventional irrigation, the increase in soluble sugar content tended to be less noticeable. This study confirmed that in yellow-fleshed ‘Sweet Gold’ kiwifruit, managing irrigation and soil moisture reduction during the ripening period can lead to decreased fruit weight but increased dry matter, sugar content, and expression of flesh color, ultimately enhancing fruit quality and expediting ripening.

Light plays an important role in fruit-body development and morphology during Pleurotus spp. cultivation. To understand the effects of light color on fruit-body properties, we evaluated the fruit-body characteristics of Pleurotus spp. varieties cultivated under blue, red, and purple LED light sources. The main results are as follows: The overall fruit-body shape showed differences depending on the color of the LED light. The fruit-bodies of mushroom cultivated under blue and purple light were generally similar to the mushroom shapes typically produced, while those of mushroom cultivated under green light were abnormally shaped, probably due to the absence of effective light source. The average cap lightness of mushrooms cultivated under blue, green, and purple LED lights was 57.0, 57.4, and 59.4, respectively. The average cap lightness of all varieties except Wonhyeong1ho and Hwang-geumsantari cultivated under the three LED light sources were statistically significantly different (P<0.05). The cap redness varied significantly depending on the LED lighting and variety. Only Gonji7hoM, the cap color mutant of Gonji7ho, showed negative cap redness values under all three LED light sources. Among the eight varieties excluding Gonji7ho, the highest cap redness was observed when cultivated under the blue LED. The average harvest weight of the varieties cultivated under purple, blue, and green LED light were 68.0, 58.3, and 50.1 g, respectively. The yield of Gonji7ho, the mushroom variety with the highest yield, cultivated under blue, green, and purple LED light were 92.8, 77.1, and 98.6 g, respectively. The earliness when grown under the purple, blue, and green LED lights were 5.3, 5.8, and 5.8 days, respectively. Among the varieties, six, three, and two cultivars showed the shortest earliness under the purple, green, and blue LED, respectively. The fruit-body lengths were 66.4, 51.8, and 46.8 mm when cultivated under green, purple, and blue lights, respectively. These results are expected to serve as a foundation for producing mushrooms with traits demanded in the market.

The oyster mushroom is a widely cultivated edible mushroom in Korea. It is a regionally specialized crop in Gyeonggi-do, where 68% of the national production is produced. The present study was conducted to develop a new, highquality cultivar with stable cultivation. ‘Manseon’ is a new variety of oyster mushroom suitable for bottle culture. It was produced by mating monokaryons isolated from ‘HB-18’ and ‘P15159-16’. The optimal temperature for ‘Manseon’ mycelial growth was 26–29 °C on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium and for primordia formation and the growth of fruit bodies the optimal temperature was 18–19 °C on sawdust medium. Spawn running required 30 d, primordia formation required 4 d, and fruit body growth in the bottle culture required 4 d. Regarding the characteristics of the fruit bodies, the pilei were round and dark grayish brown, stipe color was white, and stipe shape was short and thick. The yield per bottle was 192.7 g/1,100 cc, which was 9% higher than that of the control strain (Suhan-1ho). The physical properties of springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and brittleness of stipe tissue were 87.9%, 77.4%, 445.1 kgf, and 389.6 kgf, respectively.

This study was conducted to apply with an air duct for the cooling and a utilizing cultivating method that uses the fruiting node and the defoliation to the high-temperature vertical and hydroponic cultivation of the oriental melon. The lower fruiting node (LF) was to remove all third vines generated from 5 nodes of a secondary vine. The higher fruiting node (HF) was fruiting on the third vine generated from a first node of the third vine. The direction of the stem string; upward (UW), downward (DW). Four treatment conditions were applied with the LF-UW, LF-DW, HF-UW (control), and HF-DW. The leaf age of melon leaves was measured for photosynthesis at 3 days intervals, and the fruit characteristic was conducted on 79 fruits in each treatment. The photosynthesis rate steadily increased after leaf development, reaching 20.8 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 on the 10 days, gradually increasing to 21.3 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 on the 19 days, and reaching 23.4 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 on the 32 days. After that, it lowered to 16.8 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 on the 38 days and dropped significantly to 7.6 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 on the 47 days. As a result of the fruit characteristics by fruiting nodes, the treatments of the fruit length was 12.6-13.4 cm, respectively, which was significant, and the fruit width was 7.9- 8.6 cm, respectively, was not significant. The soluble content ranged from 12.9 to 15.7°Brix, and the significance of all treatments, and higher than of LF-DW and HF-UW. The photosynthesis rate of melon leaves was good until 32 days after leaf development, but after that, the rate decreased. As for fruit quality, it was conformed that melons can be cultivated at the LF because the fruit enlargement and soluble content dose not decrease even when set at the LF. Results indicated that those can be used for LF and defoliation in the development of vertical and hydroponic cultivation method in high-temperature season.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of the traditional rice cake of Gijeongtteok added with an extract from Cudrania tricuspidate fruit and different amounts of kimchi broth. The pH measurement showed a significant decrease with the increase of the kimchi broth from pH 5.48 (control) to 4.86 (KG180). Hunter color L-values were decreased while redness and yellowness were increased as the amount of kimchi broth increased. Texture profile analysis showed that hardness and adhesiveness significantly increased and decreased as the amount of kimchi broth increased. Gijeongtteok with kimchi broth (KG180) had the lowest specific volume with increased gummy layers in the crumb structure. Sensory evaluation of color, flavor, taste, appearance, and overall acceptance for various levels of kimchi broth showed that the KG140 sample had the highest acceptability. Therefore, this study suggests that Gijeogtteok made with the KG140 mixing ratio has excellent quality and sensory characteristics.

This study examined the quality characteristics and antioxidant properties of fruit and vegetable jellies mixed with Boswellia. Jellies were prepared with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% Boswellia, sugar and konjac. As a result, the pH of Boswellia jellies decreased to 5.19, 5.05, 4.94, and 4.84, respectively (p<0.001). Their L-value, a-value, b-value, and hardness increased significantly with increasing levels of added Boswellia (p<0.001), while individual phenolic compounds increased significantly with increasing levels of added Boswellia. Free sugars and organic acid contents had the highest bw10. The total phenolic compounds had the highest BW5 (112.9 mg TAE/g), BW10 (99.41 mg TAE/ g), and while the ABTS activities showed higher values than the control group. Overall, Boswellia can be used to produce high-quality jelly, which is expected to help develop excellent functional jelly products.

This study was conducted to reduce the phenomenon of the biased cultivation of certain mushroom varieties and to develop a competitive variety of Grifola frondosa. We developed the first Korean white commercial mushroom strain, ‘Bakyeon’, by crossing monokaryons derived from brown strains. We have collected and tested the characteristics of mushrooms from domestic and international genetic resources since 2018. We bred the unique domestic variety, ‘Bakyeon’, which has the following characteristics. The optimal temperature for mycelial growth was 25~28oC and the optimal temperature for fruit body growth was 16~18oC. The new variety was similar to the control variety (Daebak) in terms of the pileus, which formed a pine cone shape, and the number of days of cultivation. The yield was 94.1 g/bottle, which was 23% lower than the 108.5 g/bottle yield of the control variety. When incubating the parent and control varieties, the replacement line was clear. Moreover, polymerase chain reaction analysis of mycelial DNA resulted in different band patterns between the parent and control varieties, confirming the hybrid species.

This study was carried out determination of characteristics of leaf and fruit of 13 astringent persimmon (Diospyros kaki) cultivars cultivated in Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. In leaf size, Deabonggam was smaller than that of other astringent persimmon cultivars, however, Dansungsi and Bansi were largest compared to other persimmon cultivars. Fruit width size of Sancheong Deabonggam and Bansi were the biggest. And fruit width size was the biggest in Sancheong Deabonggam. When same cultivars as Dansungsi and Godongsi were cultivated at other regions, it was not somewhat different in fruit weight. The size of fruits of the cultivar varied depending on the maturation of the fruits. In immature fruit, Curigam and Susi cultivars were the biggest and these cultivars were also were the biggest in mature-green fruit. In full ripe fruit, Hamyang Daebonggam and Hadong Daebonggam and Daeheakmu were bigger than that of other cultivars. When the astringent persimmon varieties collected in July were divided into three clusters, group A had a higher leaf area and the lightest fruit weight than the other clusters. In cluster C, the leaf area was small, but the fruit weight was classified as heavier than the other clusters. This study is expected to be widely used for breeding, conservation and processing of sweet persimmons.

과수재배에 있어 기상조건은 수량과 품질에 직간접적으로 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자이다. 과거와 달리 요즘 3~4월 최저기온 변동의 폭이 넓어 꽃이 일찍 피는 과종에서는 화기의 동해로 인한 착과불량 피해가 자주 발생하고 있다. 또한 여름 철 폭염도 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 올해처럼 구름 끼고 비가 잦은 경우 과실 생장과 품질에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 확률이 매우 높다. 본 연구는 2015년부터 2017년까지 3년간 키위 재배지 2곳에서 4월부터 10월까지 발아 후 생육기 동안 온도변 화와 광합성유효광선(PAR)을 조사하였다. 또한 과실특성을 조사하여 연차간 기상조건의 차이가 과실품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 2016년, 2017년은 2015년에 비해 6월~9월 평균 기온이 약 1~2oC 높았으며, 특히 7~8월은 2oC 가량 높은 폭염현상을 나타냈다. 광합성유효광선(PAR) 조사량을 측정한 결과, 노지재배인 사천지역은 4월에서 8월까지는 2015~2017년 모두 평균 300 μmol PAR m-2 s-1 이상을 나타냈으나 2015년을 제외한 2016년, 2017년 9~10월에는 300 μmol PAR m-2 s-1 미만을 나타냈다. 비가림 재배인 보성은 생육기 전반에 걸쳐 300 μmol PAR m-2 s-1 구간이였으며, 특히 9~10월은 2015~ 2017년 모두 300 μmol PAR m-2 s-1 미만을 나타냈다. 농촌진흥 청에서 육성된 신품종 ‘감록(Garmrok)’, ‘골드원(Goldone)’ 품종을 두 지역에서 재배, 수확한 결과 상대적으로 광합성유효 광선(PAR)량이 부족했던 보성에서 생산된 과실의 품질이 낮았다.

겨울철 재배 시 중∙소과종 수박의 안정적 생산을 위한 적정 줄기유인 수와 착과 위치를 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행 하였다. 줄기유인 수를 위한 시험은 아들줄기를 각각 2, 3, 4줄기로 달리하여 유인하였다. 줄기유인 수에 따른 초장, 경경, 마디수 등 생육특성은 3, 4줄기보다 2줄기에서 높은 결과를 보였다. 그러나 과중, 과고, 과폭 등 과실특성은 4줄기에서 높게 나타났다. 당도와 착과율은 줄기유인 수에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 착과 위치를 위한 시험의 착과 위치는 2, 3, 4번째 암꽃으로 달리하였다. 착과 위치에 따른 암꽃의 평균 착과마디는 각각 11.5, 15.8, 23.1마디였다. 착과 위치가 높아질수록 과중이 증가하여 2번째 암꽃에 비해 4번째 암꽃이 0.8kg 무거웠다. 그러나 당도는 착과 위치가 증가할수록 감소하여, 2번째 암꽃이 4번째 암꽃에 비해 1.3°Bx 높았다. 생육과 과실 특성을 종합적으로 고려하였을 때, 겨울철 중∙소과종 수박의 줄기유인 수는 3줄기, 착과 위치는 3번째 암꽃이 고품질의 수박의 생산을 위해 적합할 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 추후에 재식거리, 중∙소과종 품종의 다착과 등 수박 재배 농가의 소득 안정을 위한 다양한 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality-based characteristics of Prunus mume fruit syrup, which is manufactured with various sugared sweeteners for suggestion of suitable alternative sweetener. Sweetener such as sucrose (MHP1), crystalline fructose (MHP2) and liquid fructo-oligosaccharide (MHP3) are used to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup. The sugar content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 showed 53, 54 and 36° Brix, respectively. The total organic acid content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 was 2.22, 3.07 and 3.71%. The total free sugar content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 was 54.39, 47.52% and 31.62%, respectively. The appearance of MHP1 and MHP2 remained unchanged for the entire period but MHP3 had molded since the first week. This was as a result of the low total free sugar content in MHP3 sugared with liquid fructo-oligosaccharide compared to MHP1 and MHP2 sugared with solid sucrose and fructose. The sensory characteristics of MHP2 manufactured with crystalline fructose indicated an above average quality, indicating that it is difficult to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup using liquid sugar. It is suggested that crystalline fructose characterized solid form and lower glycemic index than sucrose be useful to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup as alternative sweetener.

뽕나무깍지벌레는 복숭아, 매실, 뽕나무 등 31종의 기주식물을 가해하는 기주범위가 광범위한 난방제 해충으로 알려져 있다. 2017년도에 뽕나무깍지벌레는 5월 상순부터 부화를 시작하여 암컷성충 1마리가 75.5개(47~159개)의 알을 낳으며 모든 알이 부화하는데 약 19일이 소요되었고, 부화율은 약 87%였다. 반면에 2018년도에는 4월 하순부터 부화를 시작하여 암컷성충 1마리가 49.4개(12~71개)의 알을 낳으며 모든 알이 부화하는데 13일이 소요되었으며, 부화율은 약 72%를 보였다. 부화한 약충들은 이동 후 5월 중순부터 고착약충으로 되고, 6월 중순부터 2세대 성충이 활동하기 시작하였다. 부화약충기에 약제를 살포하여 살충효과를 조사한 결과, 살충률이 100%인 반면에, 고착약충기 에는 살충율은 2.7%로 살충효과가 낮은 것을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the fermentation characteristics and anti-obesity effects of Cheonnyuncho (Oputia Humifusa) fruit fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum SRCM 100320 (FC). The pH gradually decreased from 4.77 to 3.63 at 72 hours during fermentation. Counts of lactic acid bacteria, total polyphenol and flavonoid contents and DPPH scavenging activity were the highest at 48 hours during fermentation. Evaluation of the composition of polyphenols and flavonoids of FC fermented at 48 hours by HPLC revealed hyperoside (quercetin 3-galactoside), luteolin and kaempferol were the major components. The hyperoside content of FC was decreased, while the luteolin and kaempferol contents of FC were increased compared to unfermented Cheonnyuncho (NFC). Evaluation of the anti-obesity effects of FC in 3T3L-1 cells revealed that the accumulation of triglyceride was inhibited by about 27.3% in cells treated with FC at 150 μg/mL compared to NFC. These findings indicate FC has the potential for use as an anti-obesity material.

This study aimed to examine the effects of different degrees of defoliation during harvest season on hydroponically cultured ‘Seolhyang’ strawberry's fruit characteristics, plant growth, and changes in nonstructural carbohydrates, and find an effective defoliation method. On November 29, 2013, some of the ‘Seolhyang’ leaves were nondefoliated and the others were defoliated remaining 9 and 5 leaves. The number of fruits and fruit weight were not significantly different in the first flower cluster but in the second, third, and fourth flower clusters decreased as the level of defoliation increased. The soluble solids content and acidity of fruits decreased in all the clusters as the level of defoliation increased. The leaf area and leaf dry weight of strawberry plant in all the treatment groups decreased from January to March and root dry weight sharply decreased during February. Thereafter, during April, the growth of plant increased. As defoliation increased, the dry weight of fruits, flower clusters, crowns, and roots decreased, and during late growing period, difference in dry weight according to the degree of defoliation was considerable. The content of carbohydrate was greater in the leaves than the fruits excepting January 30 and February 28, 2014 and in the case of strawberry plant that continuously produce fruits, the content of carbohydrate decreased in the leaves and roots. As defoliation increased, the content of carbohydrate in fruits, flower clusters, crowns, and roots decreased. Defoliation for strawberry plants is carefully done during harvest season. Twelve leaves during December and 14 leaves from January to March should be maintained, and in April when the number of leaves increases, old leaves should be defoliated.

본 실험은 기존의 플러그 육묘 시스템과 원통형 종이포트 시스템을 상호비교하여 주요 과채류 육묘의 생육특성을 검토 하기 위해 수행되었다. 초장, 엽면적, 경경, 생체중 등의 지상부 생육은 토마토, 오이, 수박 모두 원통형 종이포트와 플러그 트레이 간의 차이가 없었다. 총 근장은 토마토와 오이는 육묘초기, 수박은 전 기간동안 플러그 트레이가 원통형 종이포트에 비해 길었다. 뿌리의 직경별로 각 뿌리의 길이를 구분한 결과, 토마토는 시험구간 차이가 없었지만 오이와 수박은 모든 굵기의 뿌리에서 플러그가 종이포트에 비해 20~251% 길었다. 토마토 뿌리의 생체중은 육묘기는 플러그 트레이가 원통형 종이포트에 약 30% 무거웠지만 생육이 진전될수록 차이가 감소하였고, 정식 이후는 시험구간 차이가 없어졌다. 오이 뿌리의 생체중은 육묘기부터 정식 이후까지 플러그묘가 약 20~30% 무거웠고, 정식 이후 까지도 생육이 진전될수록 차이가 커지는 경향을 보였다. 수박은 육묘기부터 정식 7일후까지는 원통형 종이포트 묘의 지상부 생체중 및 건물중이 무거웠지만, 정식 7일 이후부터 역전되었다. 결론적으로 원통형 종이포트 묘와 플러그 트레이 묘의 지상부 생육은 전반적으로 차이가 없었고, 지하부 생육은 플러그묘의 생육량이 많았다.
