마카(Maca, Lepidium meyenii Walp)는 십자화과 두해살이풀로서 페루의 안데스 산맥이 원산지이며 세계 여러 나라에서 건강기능식품, 음료 등의 가공원료로 이용되고 있다. 최근 마카의 기능성 성분이 밝혀지면서 국내에서도 재배 면적이 증가하고 있으나 연작장해, 동계 저온으로 인한 고사 등으로 인하여 생산량은 매우 저조한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 노지 환경에서 비닐피복과 지상부에 비닐 터널을 처리하여 겨울철 고사율을 줄이고 연장장해를 회피하여 마카를 안정적으로 재배하고자 실시하였다. 마카 재배는 경상북도 경산지역에서 2017년 9월 24일 파종하여 2018년 4월 30일에 수확하였으며, 처리는 비닐피복, 비닐피복+터널, 비가림하우스 및 대조구로 노지에서 무피복재배로 실시하였다. 동해에 의한 마카 고사율은 비닐피복과 노지재배에서 55.7, 79.1%였으나 비닐피복+터널과 비가림하우스에서는 3%이하로 조사되어 노지환경에서 비닐피복 후 지상부 터널설치로 동해를 방지할 수 있었다. 수확 시 마카의 생체중은 비가림하우스에서 주당 57.8g으로 가장 높았으며, 비닐피복+터널설치, 비닐피복 및 노지재배에서 각각 52.7, 21.3, 10g으로 조사되어 동계 지상부 15cm 지점의 평균온도(비가림하우스 : $3.4^{\circ}C$, 비닐피복+터널설치 : $1.9^{\circ}C$, 노지 : $-2.1^{\circ}C$)와 정의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 마카의 이용부위인 뿌리의 무게는 비가림하우스와 비닐피복+터널에서 각각 주당 15.5, 19.9g으로 조사되어 비교적 비닐피복+터널처리의 생육이 좋았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 마카는 다닥냉이속 작물로 저온경과 후 뿌리비대가 이루어지는 속성을 가지고 있으나 생육후기 고온으로 인한 지상부 생육은 뿌리비대를 저하시키는 것으로 추정되어 3월 이후 온도관리는 좀 더 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다. 노지와 비닐피복 재배에서는 뿌리의 무게가 주당 3.9, 2.7g으로 정상적인 수확이 불가능하였다. 마카를 노지에서 재배할 경우 비닐피복 후 지상부에 터널을 설치하면 연작장해 회피와 동해에 의한 고사율을 줄일 수 있어 안정적인 재배가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

We investigated the efficacy of heat shock treatments to improve storage quality of green red pepper. Green red pepper were stored at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks after no treatment (control) or hot water dips at 50-65$^{\circ}C$ for 10s. Treatments at 65$^{\circ}C$ generally caused high levels of heat injury on the surface of fruit. The hot water dips had no effect on firmness, Hunter ‘a’ and ‘b’ values and viable cell count by 3 weeks of storage. But color of fruit changed toward darker and redder direction and firmness was decreased by heat treatment at 4 weeks of storage. The contents of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin were not caused significant influence by different heat treatment, were decreased through the storage. The optimal hot water dip condition for maintaining fruit quality after prolonged storage was found to be 55$^{\circ}C$ for 10s, which can lead to reduced chilling sensitivity of green red pepper.

Skin blackening is a serious postharvest disorder occurring in 'Fuyu' persimmon fruits (Diospyros kaki, 'Fuyu'). Phenolic content, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activity, and lipid saturation were investigated in skin tissue of 'Fuyu' fruits. The phenolic compounds were accumulated unevenly on fruit skin depending on sunlight exposure, i.e., the most accumulation on sunny side and the least on the opposite, shaded side. The fruits harvested from shaded branches inside the canopy showed relatively even distribution of phenolic compounds in the skin. The activity distribution of PPO and POD were also uneven but only in fruits suffering f rom skin b lackening disorder, w ith the h ighest and the lowest a ctivity of PPO and P OD, respectively, in the blackened area of the fruit. When the sunny, southern sides of fruits were marked at harvesting time and fruits were stored at low temperature, a round black spot, as a symptom of skin blackening disorder, developed during storage exactly on the marked region. In addition, the sunny side of fruit showed higher lipid saturation, thus indicating adaptation to high temperature caused by the sunlight. These results suggest that the skin blackening disorder of 'Fuyu' fruits can be considered as a kind of chilling injury symptom that develops on the high-temperature-acclimated skin tissue of sunlight-exposed fruits when they are later exposed to low temperature.

Eeffect of temperature (3-day or 7-day treatment under $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$) on chlorophyll, nitrogen and potassium content in the second leaf blade from top of IR667 line (Suwon 213 and 214) and leading local varieties (Jinheung and Paldal) was investigated at the end of nursery, maximum tillering and flowering stage using phytotron. 1. Chlorophyll content was higher in IR667 line than in the local at $25^{\circ}C$ but reversed at $20^{\circ}C$ or $15^{\circ}C$ and chlorophyll a/b value was always high in the local. 2. Chlorophyll content per fresh weight decreased with growth and low temperature effect was greater at the end of nursery and on chlorophyll a than on chlorophyll b. 3. Chlorophyll a/b value increases with the increase of chlorophyll content and the increasing rate of chl. a/b value per chlorophyll increment tends to decrease under unfavorable condition. This decrease is greater in low temperature sensitive IR667 than local varieties. 4. According to chlorophyll retention value IR667 line was weaker at low temperature. 5. The content of total nitrogen or soluble nitrogen (methanol soluble) was decreased by low temperature. 6. Chl. (a+b)/S-N value decreased with growth and seemed not to be greatly affected by temperature and always higher in the local. 7. Potassium content (total or methanol soluble) tends to decrease at low temperature and soluble K increased with chlorophyll content. 8. High yielding ability of IR667 seems to be attributable to its high chlorophyll content at high temperature and easy leaf discoloration by low temperature or by nitrogen depression of IR667 seems to be attributable to the low Chl./S-N value.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl(Tachigarace) on the growth and reducing low temperature injury in rice seedlings. The amount of mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) applied to reduce low temperature injury was 0, 9, 18 and 36mgr per pot (5${\times}$15${\times}$10cm) by soil incorperation befor sowing. Aging seedling was investigated on the growth responses by the application of 0.36gr mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) per tray (30${\times}$60${\times}$3cm) after cutting of leaf at 35 day-old seedling. Rice seedlings treated with mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) were better in the growth of top and roots, dry weight, erecting and rooting abilities than untreated seedlings. The effective amount of mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) to increase erecting and rooting abilities was 18 mgr per pot. Under low temperature treatment, 12$^{\circ}C$, the leaf discoloration and dead leaf percent of rice seedlings were markedly decreased in the seedlings treated with mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) as compared with untreated seedlings. The more amount of mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) upto 36mgr per pot, the more effective on the low temperature injury in the seedling. The effect of mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) to reduce low temperature damage in rice seedlings was mainly due to decreasing less physiological activities on the expanding leaf area and rooting, transpiration, stomatal diffusion and chlorophyll content of the leaves and oxygen consumption of the roots. Plant height, top dry weight and leaf area of aging seedlings were increased with mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) treatment and leaf cutting as compared with untreated seedling and intact leaf, respectively. The ratio of missing hill of aging seedling was increased with increasing the period of growing seedling and was decreased due to leaf cutting, whereas the effect of mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) application was not observed. Rooting ability of aging seedlings was decreased with lengthening of the period of raised seedling and was increased with mixture of hymexazole and metalaxyl (Tachigarace) treatment and leaf cutting.

PraziquantEI ($Distocide^{\circledR}$), the KcrEan product, was tEstEd for its safety and Efficacy in treatmEnt of Clonorchis sinensiJ infccticn during the period from April to SeptembEr, 1983 in Korea. A total of 55 egg positive cases were selected and treated with the regimen of 25 mg/kg t.i.d. for 1 day (total 75 mg/kg). The follow-up stool examination was done in 47 cases by cellophane thir;k smear and Stoll's egg counting techniques. The 8 uncured cases were treated again with the same regimen. The laboratory tests for blood picture and liver function were done in 27 cases and compared before and after the treatment. The results obtainEd are as follows: 1. After single course treatment, the cure and egg reduction rates were 83.0 and 99.1% respectively. With the second treatment, excellent results of 100% in both rates were obtained. 2. Several kinds of side effects such as dizziness, headache, etc. were complained by 29 cases (61.7 %), however, those were so mild and transient that no special treatment was necessary. 3. No significant change in laboratory findings was recognizable before and after the treatment. From the above results, it is concluded that $Distocide^{\circledR}$ is as effective and safe as $Biltricide^{\circledR}$ and highly recommendable in treatment of C. sinensis infection.

This study was conducted to investigate the change in the quality of early season Fuji apples that were subjected to eight different storage conditions using the developed controlled atmosphere (CA) storage system. Early season Fuji apples grown at Mungyeong, in the South Korea, were harvested in September 2014 for storage studies. Flesh firmness, titratable acidity, total soluble solid content, weight loss, and internal browning disorder were used as quality indicators for the stored apples. Flesh firmness and weight loss were better than that of the control after 70 days of storage. However, there was no significant difference in the titratable acidity or total soluble solid content among the apple samples from eight chambers after storage. The internal browning disorder of apple samples in CA chambers occurred when exposed to 1% $CO_2+2%$ $O_2$ and 1% $CO_2+0.5%$ $O_2$, resulting in a higher incidence rate of 2 and 8% after 70 days of storage than that in the control. In addition, the CA storage conditions at 3, 4 and 5% $CO_2+2%$ $O_2$ increased the rate of internal browning disorder by 26%. Therefore, CA storage can be used to maintain the quality of the apple if the optimal gas concentrations in the CA are applied to the storage strategy.

Effects of exogenously foliar applied glycine betaine (GB) on the growth and contents of osmolyte in tomato seedling was investigated. Plants treated with exogenous glycine betaine induced better biomass production and plant height during chilling stress than the untreated plants. The total soluble sugar contents in GB foliar-applied plants lower than that of untreated plants 28 days after foliar application. Total water soluble protein contents in GB foliar-applied plants did not change 28 days after chilling stress. In untreated plant, it decreased rapidly in the beginning of chilling stress. Proline contents in untreated plants rapidly increased by the beginning of chilling stress, and then slightly decreased during the next 3 weeks. However proline contents in GB foliar-applied plants did not change during the 28 days chilling stress period. The results suggest that foliar application of GB is a effect methods to increase the chilling tolerance of tomato seedlings in protected cultivation system at low temperature season.

Poor fruit set during winter period is one of the biggest problem in plastic tunnel watermelon cultivation. Hand pollination is inevitable to maximize fruit set of the winter watermelon. Productivity and viability of pollen grain and organic solvents for pollen storage were investigated. All cultivars produced more than 10 mg/flower except for 'Kumchun' cultivar. Pollen amount per flower were 13.8 mg in 'Bok' and 12.1 mg in 'Speedkul'. Germination rate of pollen grains incubated at $30^{\circ}C$ right after soaking in pentane solvent were 76% in 'Kumchun' as the lowest and 92% in 'Apollokul' as the highest. The pollen of 'Bok' showed the highest germination rate by 75% after a 15-day storage in pentane. All cultivars showed their pollen germination rate below 25% after a 24-day storage. Among the cuitivars, speed of pollen tube growth in vitro were relatively lower in 'Kumchun' and 'Sambokkul' by below $50\;{\mu}m/hr$. Pollen tube of these cultivars tended to burst during its elongation on the medium. Pollen stored 24 hrs in organic solvents showed 45, 39, 34, 23, and 19% of germination in pentane, ethyl ether, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and acetone, respectively. Compared with light condition, pollen viability was higher in darkness during pollen storage in organic solvents. Pollen grain was susceptible to the organic solvent. The viability of pollen grains seems to be influenced greatly by duration of soaking pollen in organic solvent and the polarity of solvents. Organic solvent damages surface of pollen grain and extent of damage was varied by the solvents.

The study was conducted to compare the postharvest physiology and storability of fresh cut paprika fruits classified by normal, blossom end rot(BER), and misshapen (or knots) fruit. Some disordered paprika fruits that were produced frequently during high temperature season in highland, were sorted out to non-marketable products. These fruits are mostly wasted, but some of them may be used for fresh cut. The respiration rate of fresh cut paprika fruits was lower and ethylene production rate was higher in normal fruits than in disordered fruits, but there was no significant difference. The fresh-cut paprika fruits were stored in MAP conditions at $4^{\circ}C$, $9^{\circ}C$ and room temperature in 25 ${\mu}m$ and 50 ${\mu}m$ thickness ceramic film packaging. The fresh weight of fresh cut paprika fruits decreased below to 1.1% regardless of fruit types, but the fresh weight loss increased in thinner packaging materials and lower storage temperatures. There were not significant different carbon dioxide and oxygen contents in MAP of all fruit types, while $4^{\circ}C$ storage temperature treatment and 25 ${\mu}m$ thickness ceramic film treatment had lower carbon dioxide and higher oxygen contents. Moreover, the carbon dioxide and oxygen contents were changed rapidly at 9 days in $4^{\circ}C$ storage and at 6 days in $9^{\circ}C$ storage when the visual quality of fresh cut decreased dramatically. The ethylene concentration of packages was below 7 ${\mu}l{\cdot}l^{-1}$ in all treatments during storage, while the treatments of thinner packaging material and lower storage temperature showed lower ethylene concentration. The fresh cut of disordered fruits showed less visual quality than normal fruit treatment in both $4^{\circ}C$ and $9^{\circ}C$ storage temperatures, but there was no significant difference. The value of $4^{\circ}C$ treatment that measured 12 days in storage was higher than $9^{\circ}C$ treatment that measured 9 days in storage. The results suggest that the disordered fruits may be used to fresh cut product without any concerns that they will decreased the value of commodities more quickly than the fresh cut made of marketable paprika fruits. As the fresh cut paprika fruits stored in MAP condition, the more effective storage temperature is $4^{\circ}C$ that may have induced chilling injury a whole fruit of the paprika.
