This study was conducted to investigate the responses of red pepper (Hongjinju) leaves under water stress. Hyperspectral short wave infrared (SWIR, 1000~1800 nm) reflectance imaging techniques were used to acquire the spectral images for the red pepper leaves with and without water stress. The acquired spectral data were analyzed with a multivariate analysis method of ANOVA (analysis of variance). The ANOVA model suggested that 1449 nm wavebands was the most effective to determine the stress responses of the red pepper leaves exposed to the water deficiency. The waveband of 1449 nm was closely related to the water absorption band. The processed spectral image of 1449 nm could separate the non-stress, moderate stress (-20 kPa), and severe stress (-50 kPa) groups of red pepper leaves distinctively. Results demonstrated that hyperspectral imaging technique can be applied to monitoring the stress responses of red pepper leaves which are an indicator of physiological and biochemical changes under water deficiency.

Korean type of no-tillage cultivation method which was applied on this study used the ridge and the furrow and constantly recycling them as it was suitable for Korea's weather and farming conditions. This no-tillage cultivation was reported to have little negative impact such as reduction of production (Kwon et al., 1997). In addition, it was found to have a lot of benefits as it requires less agro-materials and energy costs as well as shortened working hours because tillage operation is not needed. (Yang et al., 2012). According to an analysis, no-tillage cultivation can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by $344.7kgCO^2$ (58%) in every 10a ($1,000m^2$) compared to ordinary pepper farming technique (Korea averages). Direct-indirect reduction effects from using fertilizer and using less amount of energy were 92% and 44% respectively both of which can be considered very high. Besides the direct effects of no-tillage cultivation, soil management using no-tillage technique raises carbon sequestration effect on soil as time goes on (West & Marland, 2002), that is why the technique is expected to have constant carbon emission reduction effect. For theses reasons, distribution and expansion of Korean type no-tillage cultivation are expected to play a role as major agro-green technologies for achieving our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural sector.

In this study, we aimed to develop a simple analysis method for measuring the carotenoids content of pepper powder. A 96-wells polystyrene microplate and an ELISA reader were used for analysis. Although ELISA reader with 450 nm filter was applicable to measure carotenoid contents, the surface of microplates were degenerated by acetone used for carotenoids extraction. However, ten-folded dilute of the color extract with methanol did not affect the surface of polystyrene microplate and components of the color extract could be successfully measured by a ELISA reader, showing a high corelation with ASTA-20.1 method. In addition, this method uses 10 fold less acetone than ASTA-20.1 method resulting less acetone waste. The microplate method using ELISA reader has potential power for analyzing a large number of samples which may be very useful to the practical breeding program for high-colored peppers.

Responses of three different crops to soil water status were investigated in a Bonryang Sandy loam for 5 years. The changes in soil water potential, water and nutrient uptakes, growth pattern, water use efficiency and yield were analyzed under different irrigation conditions. Chinses cabbage showed more water stress than radish and red pepper in the non-irrigatedcultivation. The higher soil water potential, the more nutrient and water uptake, and evapotranspiration were observed. Water use efficiency was increased with the increase of evapotranspiration up to the optimum amount, whereas the efficiency was decreased when evapotranspiration was exceeded the optimum lebel. Little growth of chinese cabbage was observed when the soil water potential was lower than -1.7 bar at 20-30 cm depth in spring cultivation. The optimum soil water potential for irrigation was -0.2 bar, -0.5 bar and -0.2 - -0.5 bar for chinese cabbage, radish and red pepper, respectively. Optimum irrigation markedly improved the crop quality and yield in comparison to non irrigation condition.

In order to determine the effect of activated carbon on toxicity of linuron and napropamide to Chinese cabbage, red pepper, and tomatoes, 5 and 10kg/10a of activated carbon were applied to the soil surface prior to treatment of linuron at 50 and 75g/10a and napropamide at 150 and 225g/10a. 1. Chinese cabbage was protected from linuron injury by spraying activated carbon on the soil to adsorb and detoxify the herbicides even though it was completely killed by linuron at 50 and 75g/10a without activated carbon application. However, Chinese cabbage was not injured by napropamide at 150 and 225g/10a and thus antidotal effect by activated carbon was negligible. 2. Red pepper was greatly injured by linuron at 50 and 75g/10a, but activated carbon significantly reduced linuron injury. Napropamide at 225g/10a was slightly injurious to red pepper. Nevertheless, this injury effect was reduced by activated carbon at 5kg/10a. 3. Tomatoes were also severely injured by linuron at 75g/10a, but activated carbon prevented linuron injury to tomatoes. However, napropamide at 150 and 225g/10a were slightly injurious to tomatoes and activated carbon did not completely prevent napropamide injury to tomatoes.

In order to study the red-coloring effects of hot pepper fruit by light treatment during after-ripening period, 'Karak Geumjang No. 2 green hot pepper fruits, Capsicum annuum L., after 30 to 35 days from flowering were harvested and white, red and blue light treatments at the energy level of $40\;{\mu}watt/cm^2/sec$ were given at $25^{\circ}C$. When compared with white light, total chlorophyll content was strikingly decreased by blue light treatment and no difference in the chlorophyll contents between red and white light was observed. The chlorophyll a and b showed a similar decreasing patterns as shown in the case of total chlorophyll. Total carotenoid content was higher in the blue light treatment by 31% than the white light. However, red light decreased the carotenoid condent as compared to the white light treatment. But ${\beta}-carotene$ was not changed by red light as compared to white light. Blue light treatment increased ${\beta}-carotene$ content (0.71 mg%-f.w.) as compared to white light treatment (0.56 mg%-f.w.). Therefore, blue light treatment increased red-coloring responses of hot pepper fruit during after-ripening period. The capsaicin content was slightly increased by blue light and no red light influence was observed.

The performance of the flat-plate solar collector with rock-pile thermal storage medium and the drying characteristics of rough rice and red pepper by use of natural air and of supplementary heated air by the solar drier were studied. The thermal efficiency of the flat-plate solar collector was average 25.4 percent and the overall heattransfer coefficient of the collector was approximately $38.13kJ/hr.m^2^{\circ}C$. The flat-plate collector was able to supply the supplementary heated air which was about $7^{\circ}C$ higher than the ambient air temperature during the daytime and about $3^{\circ}C$ higher than during the night. For rough rice drying of grain moisture content front 24.5 to 14.5%, it took 18 days in the natural air system, 12 days in the tubular solar collector and 10 days in the flat-plate solar collector. For red pepper drying from it's moisture from 81.0 to 15.0%, 68 hrs required under conventional sun drying system, but 38 hrs in tubular solar collector and 36 hrs in the flateplate solar collector. The changes of capsanthin and capsaicine content were investigated at various drying system, and little difference was found among the drying system.

In the Sumeunmulbaengdui Wetland Protected Area of Jeju Island, there exists a unique pond, a so-called 'Ohmi', which is likely to be an oasis supporting the wildlife and escaped-livestock. We exquisitely described the diversity and distribution of plant community of the Ohmi. Despite its small area, six syntaxa were identified: Sphagnum community of peat bog type, Nymphoides coreana community of the floating-leaf limnetic vegetation, Scirpus triangulatus community and Schoenoplectus hotarui community of the littoral zone vegetation, and Deinostema violacea-Eleocharis congesta community and Eriocaulon atrum-miquelianum community of the ephemeral vegetation. A zonal distribution of plant communities along the water depth was recognized. The Sphagnum islets regarded as a typical component of peat bog, in Korea were first described at the center of the Ohmi. We conclude that the Ohmi is a primeval keystone habitat of the Sumeunmulbaengdui intermediate moor with a less oligotrophic ombrotrophic environment.

(1) Relatively active polyphenol oxidase influence was seen at $0{\circ}C$, and the optimal pH level for the enzyme from the seeds of a small type sweet pepper Zairaisisi is 6.5. (2) The starting stage of the brown coloration with low-temperature injuries showed a strong activity of polyphenol oxidase, and the activity drops to 0 as the entire seed became brownish. (3) The browning effect with enzyme solution of polyphenol extracts suggested that the brown coloration continues in vitro even if polyphenol oxidase activity is nil. (4) Although cytochrome oxidase activity dropped when an abnormality occurrs in electron pathways of respiration at the starting stage of the browning with low temperature injuries, there was no marked influence of it on the total respiration, indicating the fact that polyphenol oxidase can take place of terminal oxidase in the compensatory respiration process.
