To determine the nutritional value of domestic tomatoes, the levels of amino acids, amino acid metabolites, and the bioactive compound ${\gamma}-aminobutyric-acid$ (GABA) were analyzed in three domestic tomato varieties (Rafito, Momotaro, and Medison). Eighteen free amino acids were found, and total free amino acid content was 3,810.21~4,594.56 mg/100 g (dry weight). L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) was the most abundant amino acid, ranging from 1,866.60 mg/100 g for Momotaro to 2,417.45 mg/100 g for Medison. The next most abundant amino acids were L-glutamine (L-Gln) and L-aspartic acid (L-Asp). The three tomato varieties had a good balance of all the essential amino acids except tryptophan. Total essential amino acid content was 274.26~472.71 mg/100 g (dry weight). The following amino acid metabolites were found: L-carnitine (L-Car), hydroxylysine (Hyl), o-phosphoethanolamine (o-Pea), phosphoserine (p-Ser), ${\beta}-alanine$ (${\beta}-Ala$), N-methyl-histidine (Me-His), ethanolamine (EtNH2),and L-citrulline(L-Cit). Large quantities of GABA were found in all three varieties: 666.95-868.48 mg/100g (dry weight). These results support the use of these tomato varieties as nutritious food materials.

In 1997, 103 isolates of Verticillium were obtained from roots and stems of tomato plants showing wilt symptoms in greenhouses in eight areas of Korea. Out of these isolates, 75 were edintified as V. dahliae while 28 were identified as V. albo-atrum based on their morpho-logical and cultural characteristics. Both Verticillium species produced colonies with conidiophores, which were more or less erect, hyaline, with verticillate branches, and with 3-4 phialides at each node. V. dahliae produced microsclerotia, while V. albo-atrum produced resting dark mycelium. Optimum temperatures for mycelial growth of V. dahliae and V. albo-atrum on PDA were 22 and $26^{\circ}$, respectively. Mycelial growth of V. albo-atrum was slower than that of V. dahliae. Pathoge-nicity tests revealed that tomato cvs. Zuikoh No. 102, Kyoryokubeiju No. 2, Zuiken, Kagimuza, and Momotaro were susceptible to V. albo-atrum, while cvs. Zuikoh No. 102 and Kyoryokubeiju No.2 were susceptible to V. dahliae.

The aim of this study was to investigate bioactive compounds from three domestic tomato varieties (Rafito, Momotaro TY Winner, and Medison). Lycopene, ${\beta}-carotene$ and polyphenols were quantified and identified using HPLC and LC-MS/MS. The levels of lycopene ranged from 28.36 mg/100 g to 60.18 mg/100 g. The content of ${\beta}-Carotene$ ranged from 2.00 mg/100 g to 2.92 mg/100 g. Ten kinds of polyphenol compounds were identified: caffeic acid-hexose isomer (I), caffeic acid-hexose isomer (II), 3-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, caffeoylquinic acid isomer, quercetin-3-apiosylrutinoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside, di-caffeoylquinic acid, tri-caffeoylquinic acid, and naringenin chalcone. The level of 5-caffeoylquinic acid was the highest in domestic tomato varieties, ranging from 12.71 mg/100 g to 28.40 mg/100 g. The content of quercetin-3-rutinoside ranged from 3.74 mg/100 g to 17.64 mg/100 g. The contents of 3-caffeoylquinic acid and quercetin-3-apiosylrutinoside were 1.01~2.31 mg/100 g and 5.84~6.83 mg/100 g, respectively. Arrestingly naringenin chalcone was found only in Medison variety (36.82 mg/100 g). These results revealed that domestic tomato can be a good source of bioactive compounds for human health.

About 50,000 hives of Bombus terrestris are used for pollination of tomato and other economical crops (fruit vegetables and fruit trees) in Korea. Therefore this study was conducted to find out the effective use of B. terrestris and its economic effect in the major beefsteak-tomato cultivation areas from February to August in 2008. The pollinating activities, rate of bite-mark and lifespan of B. terrestris's hive according to all beefsteak-tomato varieties (Super Momotaro, Zeus42, Mascara and Super Sunroad, 500 $m^2$, $9,600{\sim}12,000$plants) were apparent by regular supplement of pollen ($5{\sim}6g$/3 days) to the hive of B. terrestris. Especially, Super Momotaro and Super Sunroad variety were most distinctive in the effects by regular pollen supplement.

지난날 각 가정에 많이 사용해왔던 등잔불이 심지라는 섬유제품을 통하여 기름이 올라오는 원리 즉 모세관 현상을 이용한 조명 방법이었다. 고형배지를 이용한 양액재배에서 양액의 공급은 동력기기를 이용한 소위 에너지를 많이 소비하는 방법이 거의 전부라 할 수 있다. 에너지를 절약할수 있는 방법을 생각하던 중에 섬유직조물들이 갖고 있는 모세관현상을 이용한 급액방법을 몇가지 섬유제품을 가지고 시도해 보았는데 예상했던 것 보다 훨씬 다양하고 좋은 결과를 얻었다. (중략)

The foliar injuries and absorption rates of calcium compounds in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. momotaro) and citrus [Shiranuhi(C. Marc. ${\time}C$. sinensis Osbeck)${\time}C$. reticulata Blanco)] were investigated. 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0% of $CaCl_2$, $Ca(NO_3)_2$, $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$, Ca-EDTA, Ca formate or Ca acetate solution were applied to the leaves of tomato and citrus. The leaf burns were observed only in the foliar applications of Ca-EDTA and $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$. Ca-EDTA exhibited more serious foliar injury than CaH2PO4. As applied with $^{45}CaCl_2$, $^{45}Ca(NO_3)_2$, $^{45}Ca$ formate or $^{45}Ca$ acetate, the rates of Ca absorptions by tomato and citrus leaves for 7 days were 17 to 32% and 6.6 to 46%, respectively. It meant that the absorption was differently influenced on calcium compounds. In tomato, the order of Ca foliar absorption was $Ca(NO_3)_2$ > Ca formate = $CaCl_2$ > Ca acetate. Although there was no difference in Ca absorption between the adaxial and abaxial parts of tomato leaves, total absorption was greater in expanded leaves than in expanding ones. On the other hand, in citrus Ca foliar absorption from $Ca(NO_3)_2$ or Ca formate was more active than that from $CaCl_2$ or Ca acetate. In conclusion, $Ca(NO_3)_2$ and Ca formate are recommended for the foliar application of Ca in tomato and citrus in order to increase absorption of Ca into their leaves.

This study was conducted to investigate effects of cooling methods on the growth and yield of tomato cv. momotaro in the glasshouse for four years from 1996 to 1999. Cooling methods were fan, fan and fogging, fan and shading(temp. control), fan and shading(radiation control), fan and shading (temp. control) with fogging. Fan, Fogging and Shading(temp. control) were operated automatically when air temperature was over 3$0^{\circ}C$. Amount of fogging was 500m1/min/100m$^2$and Droplets in a fog were 50 microns or smaller. Shading(radiation control) was operated automatically when solar radiation was over 500W/m$^2$. The growth and yield were the least in fan and shading(temp. control) method due to lack of light Intensity. Fogging method must be reconsidered for expensive equipment and maintenance expenses. As the matter stands, It is suggested to be the most considerable cooling method to increase ventilation rate with fan or use fan and shading(radiation control).

온실은 동절기 난방을 주목적으로 설비되어 년중 작물재배 시는 하절기 온실내부 온도가 필요이상으로 상승하여 실내온도가 35-4$0^{\circ}C$ 정도로 올라가는데 이러한 상태에서의 온도는 많은 작물의 생육적온을 벗어난 온도로서 고온장해를 나타낸다. 이 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 몇 가지 냉방방법이 알려져 있는데 에어컨 등과 같은 냉방장치를 이용한 기계적 냉각방식과 수분증발을 통한 증발식 냉각방식으로 대별되며 이중 기계적인 냉방방식은 설비나 유지관리 면에서 비용이 많이 들어 비경제적이고, 증발냉각 방식중에서도 Fan and Pad 법이 가장 효과가 좋은 것으로 알려져 있으나 이역시 설치 및 유지비가 많이 들고, vep의 탈부착이 어려워 고정시켜놓을 경우 동계 광투과에 방해가 되는 등의 문제가 많다.

This study was carried out for elucidating bioacive properties of three domestic tomato cultivars. Total polyphenol and flavonoid of Rafito, Momotaro and Medison were 10.44±1.84, 11.14±1.95, 12.26±1.82 and 3.62±0.57, 3.24±0.35, 3.87±0.60 mg/g(dry weight) respectively. Domestic tomatoes showed DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. All of tomatoes had no cytotoxicity for normal liver cell, but showed remarkable growth inhibitory effect against cervical cancer cell and liver cancer cell. These results suggested that domestic tomatoes can be used as a bioactive food material.

Hydroponic culture has been developed to control soilborn diseases, to increase yield and to enhance the quality of vegetable, The pathogen could be detected from infected plant materials, hydroponic tanks, culture solution and solid media of the severely infected greenhouse, The density of pathogen population was coincided with the severity of disease incidence, For example, 1,900cfu m$L^{-1}$ pf pathogens were counted from tomato plants sampled in a 20% diseased greenhouse. The pathogens may be introduced in the greenhouse through the contaminated soil surrounding the house and/or through the infected young seedlings grown on the nursery soil. Also, not detected to Ralstonia solanacearum from tomato seeds (House Momotaro, Bbaebbae, Ggoggo, and Minicarol cultivar) selling at a market.
