A new strawberry cultivar ‘Misohyang’ was originated from the cross between ‘Darselect’ and ‘Wongyo 3111’ in 2009. Among hybrids, ‘Misohyang’, a superior individual possessing vigorous growth, capacity to early differentiate flower buds, and excellent physiological characteristics, was selected. Several tests conducted from 2012 to 2014 revealed that this cultivar was suitable for forcing culture due to its faster flowering and harvest time than ‘Seolhyang’. Fruits of ‘Misohyang’ were conical in shape with a red color, which turned dark red color when fruits were fully ripened. Although sugar contents in ‘Misohyang’ fruits were lower than those in ‘Seolhyang’, their aromatic properties were excellent in terms of synergy effect on perception of sweet flavor. In addition, ‘Misohyang’ fruits could maintain high hardness despite a warm temperature during spring. These physiological characteristics of fruits contribute to its high yields in spring, with an average fruit weight of 20 g. Regarding disease resistance, ‘Misohyang’ showed sensitivity to powdery mildew during nursery period and fruit ripening stage. Since the cultivar ‘Misohyang’ has an excellent flavor with attractive red color, sustainable hardness, and high yields in spring, it is expected to be popularly consumed not only for its fresh fruits, but also for its processed fruits.

조류가 식물 열매의 성숙도와 크기에 따라 어떻게 선택하는지를 알아보기 위하여 사육 중인 3종의 새에게 성숙도와 크기가 다른 식물 3종의 열매를 주어 그 먹는 양을 계수하고, 다변량통계로 분석하였다. 실험에 사용한 새는 금계(Chrysolophus pictus, 꿩과), 양비둘기(Columba rupestris, 비둘기과)와 자바공작 (Pavo muticus, 꿩과)이고, 열매는 왕벚나무(Prunus yedoensis, 장미과), 뜰보리수나무 (Elaea

The phenotypic traits of 63 Asian plum varieties were investigated for three years to select those with superior qualities for breeding. Eight morphological characteristics of the flowers and fruits (e.g., stigma position, fruit skin, and flesh color) were evaluated. Phenological characteristics (e.g., blooming time and ripening time) were also monitored. Being useful traits for breeding, fruit quality factors (e.g., fruit weight, skin color, flesh color, soluble solids content, and titratable acidity) were evaluated as well. The majority of the fruits were cordate (36%) and circular (23%) in shape. Approximately 78% of the varieties showed a red skin color, whereas 67% had yellowish fruit flesh. Fruit ripening occurred from June 28th to September 5th, spanning 69 days. The average fruit weight and soluble solids content were 77.2 g and 12.2 °Brix, respectively. Regarding correlations among the characteristics, the most significant correlation coefficients were for the ripening time and fruit size parameters. Such information of Asian plum varieties will be useful for future breeding programs.

Fruit quality traits like heat, color and flavor are unique and important for pepper cuisines and industrial use. Pepper pigments include chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanin and red pigments like capsanthin are unique carotenoids to capsicum spp. So developing carotenoids-rich peppers and use of red pigments extraction along with capsaicinoids are one of interest pepper breeding goals in the world. Horticultural traits of 113 germplasms introduced by international cooperative research with YASS of China were evaluated to select promissing materials for high quality peppers during the past 3 years. All of germplasms including 60 local peppers were belong to C. annuum and fruit characteristics were diverse. Especially fruit chemical compositions like ASTA color, capsaicinoids and sugars were evaluated compared with korean commercial peppers. Average contents of ASTA　color was 98±37, 55±63mg in capsaicinoids and 12±6% in total sugars. ASTA color which generally means red pigments content was over 120 in 25 germplasms including over 200 in 2 germplasms. Higher ASTA colors were observed in different fruit types. Capsaicinoids content was over 90mg/100g in 24 germplasms including 5 germpalsms over 200mg. Especially higher capsaicinoids were higher in local peppers with round and wrinkled fruit shape. And total sugar content was over 20% in 10 germplasms. Germplasms of different fruit shapes and characteristics will be useful materials for diverse fruit quality breeding.

딸기는 근연교배가 다른 작물에 비해 상대적으로 약한 타 식성 작물이다. 딸기의 대다수 품종 육성방법은 품종간 교잡으로 부터 우수한 개체를 선발하는 선발육종을 기본으로 하여 왔다. 그러나 계통 육성방법도 우수한 유전자를 집적하기 위한 방법으로 많이 이용되어 왔었다. 따라서 딸기의 육종효율을 증진시키기 위해 자식 또는 근계교배를 통하여 조합능력이 높은 유전자형을 가진 근교계를 만들고자 형질이 우수한 품종을 대상으로 자식을 실시하였다. 이 자식계통 중 초세,

뽕나무 오디는 기능성 식품소재 및 농가의 소득을 증진시킬 수 있는 과실로서 뽕나무 묘목에 대한 일반인의 수요가 증가하고 있으나, 현재 오디생산을 위한 뽕 품종은 '대성뽕'외에 등록되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 우리나라에 유전자원으로 보존 중인 뽕나무의 결실 오디를 계통별로 채취하여 과실적 특성을 조사하고 우수한 계통을 선발함으로써, 오디 생산용 뽕 품종의 육종 효율을 높이고 품종의 조기 농가보급을 위한 기초 자료를 제공코자 하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 그루당 10kg이상 수확 가능한 계통으로서 '수성뽕', '청노상', '수원노상', '절곡조생(충북)' 4계통을 다수성 계통으로 선발하였다. 또한 단과중이 3.5g 이상인 대과형 계통과 17 Brix ~% 이상인 고당도 계통을 각각 5계통, 4계통 선발하였다. 공시계통 중 '절곡조생(충북)'은 단과중이 4.5g으로서 가장 높았으며, '강선'은 19.6 Brix ~% 으로 당도 함량이 가장 높았다. 2. 수량, 단과중 및 당도 값을 동시에 만족시키는 오디 생산용 우량 계통으로서 '절곡조생(충북)', '팔청시평', '강선', '수원노상', '죽천조생', '수성뽕', '당상7호', '장소상' 8계통을 선발하였다.
