오리엔탈과실파리(Bactrocera dorsalis)는 400종 이상의 작물과 과일을 가해하는 주요 농업 해충이다. 동남아시아가 원산지로 알려져 있으나, 최근 일본과 중국에서의 확산이 보고되면서 인근 지역으로의 잠재적 확산 가능성이 우려되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 오리엔탈과실파리의 유전적 다 양성과 분산 양상을 구명하기 위해 미토콘드리아 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) 유전자를 분자 마커로 활용하였다. 시료는 태국, 대만, 베트남, 캄보디아, 필리핀 등 동남아시아 여러 국가에서 채집하였으며, 아시아 지역의 지역별 유전적 특성을 비교하기 위해 유전자 데이터베이스에 서 확보한 COI 염기서열을 분석에 활용하였다. 그 결과, 동남아시아 13개국에서 총 753개의 일배체형(haplotype)이 확인되었으며, 대부분의 동남 아시아 개체군에서 높은 일배체형 다양성(Hd>0.8)이 나타났다. 필리핀과 파푸아뉴기니 등 일부 섬 지역 개체군에서는 뚜렷한 유전적 분리가 관찰 된 반면, 필리핀과 파푸아뉴기니를 제외한 대부분의 대륙 개체군은 주요 일배체형을 공유하였다. 본 연구 결과는 미토콘드리아 COI 유전자 기반 동남아시아 오리엔탈과실파리의 유전적 구조를 구명하였으며, 지리적 격리에 따른 섬 개체군의 비교적 안정된 유전형과 지리적 인접성과 이동성에 따른 대륙 개체군 간의 유전적 유사성을 시사한다.

본 연구는 광 환경 차이가 씨 없는 수박(Citrullus lanatus Thunb.)의 생육 및 생식 생장, 특히 암꽃 착생과 과실 특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 수행되었다. 전라북도농업기술원 수박시험장 내 무가온 연동형 온실에서 소과종 씨 없는 수박 ‘블랙보이(Black Boy)’를 대상으로 자연광(NL), NL의 70% 및 30% 차광, 그리고 보광(Supplemental Light, SL) 120 및 240μmol·m-2·s-1의 총 5처리로 실험을 수행하였다. 온실 내· 외부의 기온과 광량은 정식 후 첫 수정 시기부터 과실 수확 전 까지 30분 간격으로 자동 저장되었으며, 식물체 생육 조사 및 암꽃 발생 관찰은 일주일 간격으로 측정하였다. 암꽃 발생 수 는 자연광 조건에서 가장 안정적으로 나타났으며, 차광 처리 시 유의하게 감소하였다. 특히 70% 차광 처리구는 실험 기간 동안 가장 낮은 암꽃 발생 수였으며, 보광 처리구 중 240 PPFD 조건에서는 정식 후 40일 전후에 주당 평균 3.5개 이상 의 암꽃이 발생하였다. 본 시험의 온실 환경 조건에서 과실비 대는 대조구와 차광 처리구 간 뚜렷하게 감소하였으나 보광 처리구에서는 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이 결과는 기 본으로 광량 조건이 생식 생장 유도 및 암꽃 분화에 영향을 미 친다는 것을 나타낸다. 따라서 씨 없는 중·소형 수박 재배 시 저광 조건에서 보광은 착과율 증대와 이에 따른 과실비대에 효과가 있다고 판단된다.

본 연구는 경상북도(경북; 안동시, 청송군, 영주시, 의성군), 경상남도(경남; 밀양시), 전북도(전북; 장수군), 경기도(경기; 파주시), 강원도(강원; 정선군) 등 한국의 8개 주요 사과 생산지에서 기후변화가 ‘후지' 사과의 수확시기와 과실품질에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 사과 과수원은 경북지역은 위도 36도, 경남과 전북지역은 35도, 경기와 강원지역은 37도에 위치하였다. 그리고 사과의 착색기인 10월 최저 기온은 청송 5℃, 장수 6.4℃, 정선 5.7℃로 전반적으로 낮았으며, 지리적 차이와 관계없이 과실의 수확시기에는 약 10일 정도의 차이가 있었다. 수확시 과실의 경도는 경북과 경남지역 과실은 56.6-64.1 N으로 다소 낮았던 반면, 전북, 경기, 강원지역은 67.8-72.2 N으로 높게 나타났다. 한편, 지역 간 산 함량 및 내생 에틸렌 발생량은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 과피의 적색도 또한 청송 25.8, 정선 27.5, 파주 26.2로 비교적 낮은 수준을 보여 재배지 간 뚜렷한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 8개 지역의 과실을 수확후 180일간 저온저장하였을 때 안동, 밀양, 파주지역의 과실 경도는 59.4-64.5 N으로 높게 유지되었고, IEC는 87.0-112.5 μL·L-1으로 낮은 경향을 보였다. 그리고 산 함량은 저장기간이 길어지면서 감소하였고, 가용성 고형물 함량은 변화를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 RCP 4.5와 8.5 시나리오에서 기온 상승에 대한 우려에도 불구하고, 현재까지 한국 사과재배 지역에서 ‘후지’ 사과의 과실품질에는 유의미한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다.

The oyster mushrooms have known to be a major product in Gyeonggi-do, with production accounting for 69% of the entire country. The ‘Daeseon’ cultivar, which has white and straight stem, was developed. This cultivar was developed by mating monokaryons isolated from the ‘Heuktari’ and ‘Hwaseong-2ho’ varieties. The optimum temperature for the mycelial growth was 26~32oC on PDA medium and that for the primordia formation and the growth of fruit body of ‘Daeseon’ was 16~20oC on sawdust media. It took 35 days to complete spawn running, 3 days for finish primordia formation, and 4 days for finish fruit body growth in the bottle culture. It has shallow funnel-shaped pileus and a white straight stipe. The yield per bottle was 201 g/1,100 ml and was 16% higher than that of control cultivar ‘Suhan-1ho’. Based on above results, we expect this cultivar to be suitable for small packaging.

This study was conducted to present primary data for the development of functional beverages by measuring quality characteristics and antioxidant properties and preparing coffee with dried fruit powder. The pH, water content, and brownness were higher in the control group than in the fruit-added sample group. Total polyphenols were highest in the Prunus Fruit Coffee (PFC) at 2765.43±87.03 mg GAE/L. In terms of DPPH, the fruit addition group (consisting of dried apple, dried cherry, and dried plum) was higher than the control group, and the LFC was the highest at 70.04±2.01%. ABTS showed high antioxidant properties in all sample groups, and LFC showed the highest content at 83.01±1.06%. Caffeine was the highest in the control group, all sample groups showed lower content than the control group, and AFC showed the lowest content at 664.70±16.36. As a result, the fruit-added coffee groups are higher than the control groups in terms of quality characteristics and antioxidant properties, and it is considered that the fruit groups are suitable as functional food materials when developing coffee products.

본 연구는 국내 육성 품종 ‘선플’과 ‘감황’ 과실 생산에 적합 한 수분수를 선발하기 위해 ‘SKK2’, ‘델리웅’, ‘보화’, ‘Chieftain’ 각각의 꽃가루로 인공수분하여 과실 품질과 종자의 발육을 조 사하였다. 착과율은 두 품종이 모든 처리구에서 96% 이상이 었다. ‘선플’은 ‘델리웅’ 처리에서 과중이 가장 높았고 2021년 은 ‘보화’ 처리에서 2022년은 ‘Chieftain’ 처리에서 가장 낮았 다. ‘감황’은 2021년에 ‘델리웅’ 처리에서 2022년은 ‘Chieftain’ 처리에서 과중이 가장 높아 연차 간 차이를 보였다. ‘선플’의 과실 품질 조사 결과, 2022년에 건물률은 ‘SKK2’처리에서 가장 높고 가용성 고형물 함량은 ‘Chieftain’에서 가장 높았으 며 2021년에는 처리 간 유의차가 없었다. ‘선플’의 총 종자 수 와 미숙 종자 수는 6배체 수분수 처리구에서 가장 많았고 천립 중은 4배체 수분수 처리구에서 무거웠다. ‘감황’의 과실 품질 조사 결과, 건물률과 산 함량은 2년 모두 ‘SKK2’ 처리에서 가 장 높았고 가용성 고형물 함량은 연차 간 차이를 나타냈다. ‘감 황’의 총 종자 수와 성숙 종자 수는 ‘델리웅’과 ‘Chieftain’ 처 리에서 가장 많았고 미숙 종자 수는 ‘SKK2’ 처리에서 가장 적 었다.

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.
