The objective of this was to investigate the technical feasibility of producing toxicant-free by germination. To this end, rapeseed(Brassica napus L.) was germinated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 120 hours, and the chemical compositions of amino acids and vitamins were determinated in every 24 hours during germination. The results obtained are summarized as follows: Before germination, rapeseed contained 5.4g/16g N of glutamic acid and high percentage of the other amino acids in order of Asp>Leu>His>Pro>Arg>Lys>Gly>Ser>Ala>Val. The amino acids were gradually decreased until 96 hours during germination had tendency to show a slight increase in 120 hours. Vitamin B$_1$, B$_2$and C contents in rapeseed before germination were found to be 0.11, 0.21 and 3.72mg% respectively, and the vitamin E was 423ug/g. The vitamin C greatly increased in 72 hours during germination, while the vitamin B group was drastically decreased in 72 hours. The results obtained by this method clearly demonstrate that germination process is very effective to the removal of toxicants in rapeseed.

Difference of fatty acid composition of rapeseeds from different regions in Korea and Japan were found. Erucic acid content of the rapeseeds produced in Korea, particulary in Mokpo was higher than that produced in Japan. While, the contents of oleic and linoleic acids produced in Korea were lower than those produced in Japan. It was considered being due to temperature, amount of precipitation and hours of sunshine during the maturing period.

The fatty acid composition of the oil in the rapeseed grown by spring and autumn planting were determined by gas liquid phase chromatography. Erucic acid content of the rapeseed oil grown by autumn planting was higher than that produced by spring planting, but the contents of oleic acid and linoleic acid were lower in autumn planting than those in spring planting. There was significant difference at 1% level between seasonal plantings. The reasons for the different fatty acid compositions were the low integrated temperature, the high amount of precipitation and the short hours of sunshine during the maturing period in autumn planting.

Brassica spp. vegetables have been known to have biological activities such as anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we investigated the in vitro physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activities of commonly used Brassica spp. sprout vegetables such as kohlabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongyloides), red radish (Raphanussativus L. var. sativus), broccoli (B. oleracea var. italica), cabbage (B. rapavar. glabra Regel), rape (B. napus), radish (R. sativus), and tatsoi (B. campestris var. narinosa) sprouts. Our results showed that the vegetables with the highest total phenolics contents were the radish sprout ($24.40{\pm}1.24mg\;TAE/g$) and kohlabi sprout extracts ($23.97{\pm}0.46mg\;TAE/g$). Furthermore, the vegetable with the highest total flavonoid content was the radish sprout extract ($15.30{\pm}1.35mg\;CE/g$). However, the kohlabi sprout extract showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging value ($IC_{50}=1.95mg/mL$) and ORAC value (79.03 mM TE/g). In addition,the six kinds of Brassica spp. sprout vegetable extracts, except tatsoi, significantly inhibited the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and showed that intracellular oxidative stress is closely related tothe accumulation of differentiated adipocytes and fat during the adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. These results suggest that Brassica spp. sprout vegetables, especially kohlabi and radish sprout extracts, can be used to develop natural antioxidants.

This study investigated the effects of six metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs: CuO, NiO, TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, Co₃O₄, ZnO) on seed germination and germination index (G.I) for five types of seeds: Brassica napus L., Malva verticillata L., Brassica olercea L., Brassica campestris L., Daucus carota L. NPs of CuO, ZnO, NiO show significant toxicity impacts on seed activities [CuO (6-27 mg/L), ZnO (16-86 mg/L), NiO (48-112 mg/L)], while no significant effects were observed at > 1000 mg/L of TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, Co₃O₄. Tested five types of seed showed different sensitivities on seed germination and root activity, especially on NPs of CuO, ZnO, NiO. Malva verticillata L. seed was highly sensitive to toxic metal oxide NPs and showed following EC₅₀s : CuO 5.5 mg/L, ZnO 16.4 mg/L, NiO 53.4 mg/L. Mostly following order of toxicity was observed, CuO > ZnO > NiO > Fe₂O₃ ≈ Co₃O₄ ≈ TiO₂, where slightly different toxicity order was observed for carrot, showing CuO > NiO ≈ ZnO > Fe₂O₃ ≈ Co₃O₄ ≈ TiO₂.

유채(Brassica napus L.)는 식용유 생산을 목적으로 재배되며, 1975년에는 26.8천ha가 재배되어 연간 생산량이 34.7천톤이 생산되었으나, 외국으로부터 값싼 식용유의 대량수입으로 재배면적이 급격하게 감소되었다. 그러나 최근에 지방자치단체를 중심으로 경관용 재배면적이 증가하고 있고, 건강에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 국내산 non-GM 식용유 생산을 목적으로 유채 재배면적이 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 유채의 대량생산을 위해서는 논 재배가 필수적이나 유채와 벼의 이모작 재배 시기가 겹치는 문제점이 발생하고 있어 조생종 유채의 품종개발과 함께 봄 파종이 가능한 유채의 품종 육성에 대한 요구가 매우 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 보유 유채를 포함하는 십자화과(Cruciferae) 유전자원의 특성 평가를 통해 극조숙 유채 품종 육성을 조기에 육성하기 위해 실시하였다. 농촌진흥청 국립유전자원센터에서 분양받은 유전자원 146계통을 파종 재배하면서 핵형분석과 외부형질을 기준으로 정확한 종을 동정하였고, 각 유전자원의 생육 및 개화특성을 조사하였다. 유전자원들을 세포분석기를 이용하여 핵형을 분석한 결과, 전체 146개의 유전자원 중 유채(B. napus L.) 128계통, 갓(B. juncea Sinsk) 6계통, 배추(B. campestris Makino) 9계통, 미분류 3계통 등으로 조사되었다. 유전자원을 가을 파종(10월 22일)하였을 때 개화가 가장 빠른 계통(IT 279089)이 파종 후 137일 이후인 3월7일부터 개화가 시작되었고, 가장 늦은 계통(IT 279198)은 191일 후인 4월 30일에 개화가 시작되었다. 봄 파종(2월 4일)하였을 때 개화가 가장 빠른 계통(IT 279089)이 파종 후 79일 이후인 4월 23일부터 개화가 시작되었고 IT 279092 등 29계통은 추대와 개화가 되지 않았다. 위와 같은 연구결과를 토대로 개화시기가 빠른 유전자원을 육종을 위한 인공교배 시화분친이나 종자친으로 이용하면 지방산 품질이 좋고 극조숙성인 유채 품종의 개발이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

The objective of this study was to determine crop rotation effects on potato yield, soil chemical and microbiological properties from a short-term field experiment from 2010 to 2011 in Jeju Island, Korea. Potato cropping systems included continuous and rotation sequences of soybean (Glycine max(L.) Merr.), barley (Hordeum vulgare var. hexastichon), rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica). Crop rotations increased the yields of potato from 31% to 52% compared with continuous potato. Marketable yield of potato was highest under soybean plus rapeseed rotation by $20.97MT\;ha^{-1}$ and lowest under continuous cropping by $11.95MT\;ha^{-1}$. The incidence and severity of scab disease was significantly lower in tubers from crop rotation with soybean plus barley. Differences in marketable tuber yields among rotations were associated with potato scab disease. Especially, incidence and severity of potato scab were strongly correlated with soil pH, exchangeable calcium, and bacteria population of the soil. Crop rotations significantly increased soil pH, available phosphate, exchangeable K and Ca, especially in crop rotations with soybean plus barley or rapeseed. Soil microbial biomass C of crop rotations with soybean plus barley or rapeseed, was also significantly higher compared with monoculture. In conclusion, crop rotation may decrease the incidence of soil-born pathogen by increasing soil chemical properties and soil microbial biomass. Overall, potato crop productivity was generally maintained in rotations that contained soybean plus barley or rapeseed but declined under continuous cropping system.

To assess the dormancy associated weedy risk of the F1 hybrid generated by hybridization between Brassica juncea (maternal) and Brassica napus (paternal), seed germination, dormancy and longevity were examined sequentially after seed harvest. The F1 hybrids exhibited the intermediate characteristics of their parents in seed germination and dormancy with relatively high dormancy rate of 41.1%. In summer, F1 hybrid seeds buried in the 3 cm soil exhibited greater viability (52.4%) than those in the soil surface with greater seed longevity (74.6%) than its maternal (63.3%) and paternal (33.7%) parents at 100 days of over-summering in soil. In winter, F1 seeds buried in the soil surface were more viable than those in the 3 cm soil with greater seed longevity (83.5%) than its maternal (39.0%) and paternal (71.7%) parents at 100 days of over-wintering in soil. Therefore, it is concluded that F1 hybrid resulted from gene flow from OSR to mustard has high seed dormancy and longevity during summer and winter, suggesting its weedy risk potential. Further studies are required to examine the reproductivity and fitness cost of F1 hybrid to make a clearer conclusion of its weedy risk.

Salinity stress is one of the most serious factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops. The aim of this study was to assess inter-cultivar (intraspecific) variation for salinity tolerance in six Korean rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) cultivars at the seedling stage. The effect of three different salinity stress levels (EC 4, 8, and 16 $dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$) on seedlings of six cultivars was investigated through leaf size, leaf dry weight, and leaf chlorosis. At the highest salinity level (16 $dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$), the mean decrease of leaf dry weight in 'Sunmang', 'Tammi', 'Tamla', 'Naehan', 'Youngsan', and 'Halla' was about 56.2, 56.9, 78.4, 79.3, 77.4, and 80.9%, respectively. 'Tammi' and 'Sunmang' showed much less reduction in leaf dry weight than all the other cultivars. In addition, diluted seawater treatments increased the occurrence of leaf chlorosis in six cultivars. At EC 8 and 16 $dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, 'Naehan', 'Youngsan', and 'Halla' showed a higher level of leaf chlorosis than 'Tammi' 'Sunmang', and 'Tamla'. On the basis of these results, six cultivars were placed into salinity-tolerant and sensitive groups. 'Tammi' and 'Sunmang' were the salinity-tolerant cultivars, while 'Naehan', 'Halla', 'Youngsan', and 'Tamla' were the salinity-sensitive cultivars. 'Tammi' and 'Naehan' rated as the most tolerant and most sensitive cultivar, respectively. To further analyze protein expression profiles in 'Tammi' and 'Naehan', 2-D proteomic analysis was performed using the plants grown under diluted seawater treatments. We identified eight differentially displayed proteins that participate in photosynthesis, carbon assimilation, starch and sucrose metabolism, amino acid metabolism, cold and oxidative stress, and calcium signaling. The differential protein expressions in 'Tammi' and 'Naehan' are likely to correlate with the differential growth responses of both cultivars to salinity stress. These data suggest that 'Tammi' is better adapted to salinity stressed environments than 'Naehan'.

The study was carried out to identify several factors affecting isolation and culture of cotyledone and leaf mesophyll protoplasts of cabbage (Brassica oleraceae), petsai (B.campestris subsp. pekinensis) and rape (B.napus). High viable protoplasts could be obtained when the cotyledon and the leaf mesophyll tissue of all species were treated with enzyme solution composed of 1% macerozyme 'R-10', 1.5% Onozuka 'R-10', 10% mannitol and 50,0 mM $CaCl_22H_2O$ for 4 hours. The protoplasts which obtained from the cotyledon of all species except the cabbage and the leaf mesophyll tissue of all species were divided on NN culture medium supplemented with 9.1% mannitol, 1% glucose, 1% sucrose, $1mg/{\ell}$ 2,4-D, $0.5mg/{\ell}$ NAA and $0.5mg/{\ell}$ BA. The division of the rape leaf mesophyll protoplasts were continued and led to colony.
