  • 이 연구는 대기업 사무직 근로자에게 적용한 원예활동 프로그램의 정신적, 생리적 효과를 확인하기 위해서 시행되었다. 53명의 사무직 근로자가 연구에 참여하였다. 참여 대상자들은 2그룹(실험군과 대조군)으로 무작위 할당되었다. 무작위 할당은 Microsoft사의 Excel 2010 program RAND 함수를 이용하여 시행되었다. 8주 실험 동안 실험군에게 1회기 당 90분씩 원예활동 프로그램을 적용하였다. 대조군에게는 아무런 처치를 하지 않았다. 실험 전과 실험 8주 후에 모든 대상자들의 변수들(스트레스, 우울, 혈당, 총콜레스테롤, HDL-C, LDL-C)을 측정하였다. 실험 전부터 실험 완료 후까지 변수들의 변화가 계산되었다. 자료는 2014년 7월부터 9월까지 수집되었다. SPSS 21.0이 통계 분석에 이용되었다. 원예활동 프로그램이 우울에 긍정적인 효과를 가졌다(z=-4.57, p< .000). 결론은 원예활동 프로그램은 우울을 향상시키는 긍정적인 효과를 가진다는 것이다. 원예활동 프로그램이 사무직 근로자의 정신 건강 증진을 위한 보완대체요법으로 활성화되기를 기대한다.

  • This study explored the physicochemical and nutritional changes associated with storage duration of fresh tomatoes. Fruits of the 'TY Megaton' and 'Yureka' tomato cultivars were harvested at the pink stage and stored at $12^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. During storage, firmness, weight loss, skin color (Hunter L, a, b, a / b values), soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, antioxidant contents (lycopene, ascorbic acid, and total phenolics) and antioxidant activity were evaluated. Firmness was above the minimum marketable limit and fresh weight loss was below maximum acceptable weight loss after 3 weeks of storage, and no deleterious effect on antioxidant contents or activities were observed. Significant differences in SSC, TA, and pH were seen between varieties, but not between fruits stored for different durations. In both varieties, Hunter a values increased more than five-fold after 8 days of storage; this correlated with a more than four-fold accumulation of lycopene after two weeks of storage. The antioxidant activity of tomatoes was highest at the beginning of the storage period, likely because of the effective DPPH - reducing power of ascorbic acid and total phenolics. Antioxidant activity increased after 12 days of storage because of increasing lycopene content. Hence, this study indicates that pink - stage tomatoes may be stored at $12^{\circ}C$ for up to 3 weeks without affecting marketability or nutritional value.

  • Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) causes severe economic loss in crop productivity of both agriculture and horticulture crops in Korea. The previous surveys showed that naturally available biopolymer material - chitosan (CS), which is from shrimp cells, reduced CMV accumulation on pepper. To improve the antiviral activity of CS, it was synthesized to form phosphate cross-linked chitosan (PCS) and compared with the original CS. Initially, the activity of CS and PCS (0.01%, 0.05%, and 0.1% concentration) compound against PMMoV infection and replication was tested using a half-leaf assay on Nicotiana glutinosa leaves. The total number of local lesions represented on a leaf of N. glutinosa were counted and analyzed with phosphate buffer treated leaves as a negative control. The leaves treated with a 0.1% concentration of CS or PCS compounds exhibited an inhibition effect by 40-75% compared with the control leaves. The same treatment significantly reduced about 40% CMV accumulation measured by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and increased the relative expression levels of the NPR1, PR-1, cysteine protease inhibitor gene, LOX, PAL, SRC2, CRF3 and ERF4 genes analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, in chili pepper plants.

  • Cassumunar ginger (Zingiber montanum Roxb.) was grown in the experimental field at the Department of Horticulture, Kasetsart University, Thailand. The antioxidant activity and volatile oil content of rhizomes of varying age were measured. Antioxidant activity as determined using the DPPH (diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method differed significantly between samples of different ages. Antioxidant activity and rhizome age were positively correlated, with 22-month old rhizomes showing the highest radical scavenging activity (79.19%). Volatile oil was obtained by steam distillation of fresh rhizomes. The extraction yield of volatile oil was highest in l6-month old rhizomes (13.02 mL/kg). GC-FID data indicated the presence of three major compounds, sabinene, terpinen-4-ol and (E)-1-(3',4'-dimethylphenyl) butadiene (DMPBD), however none of the major components were correlated with the age of rhizome.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of rational emotive behavior therapy(REBT) technique to the horticultural activity program as a method of reducing irrational beliefs and job-seeking stress, and improving career maturity through the change of irrational beliefs. The subjects were 30 university students with irrational beliefs, 15 of them in the control group and 15 in the experimental group. The horticultural therapy program was carried out in total 10 sessions once a week for one and a half hours. For irrational beliefs, the experimental group showed a significant decrease (p=.002) in the total score after the program, but the control group showed an insignificant change (p=.529). Total job-seeking stress score was decreased significantly in the experimental group (p=.002) after the program, whereas it was increased in the control group (p=.023). For the career maturity, the experimental group showed a significant increase (p=.008) in the total score, whereas the control group showed a significant decrease (p=.028). Therefore, it can be found that REBT applied horticultural activity programs are helpful for reducing irrational beliefs and job-seeking stress and improving career maturity for young adults.

  • 본 연구는 시판되고 있는 10종의 녹비작물로부터 추출한 추출물을 이용하여 감자 더뎅이병균(Streptomyces scabiei)에 대한 항균활성을 검정함으로서 감자 더뎅이병 경감을 위한 녹비작물 선발의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 10종의 녹비작물에 대하여 hexane, ether, ethylacetate, methanol 및 water로 순차적으로 용매분획을 하였다. 그 결과 DPPH free radical 소거능은 ether, methanol 및 water 추출물에서 소거능이 높게 나타났다. 감자 더뎅이병균(Streptomyces scabiei)에 대한 항균활성은 methanol, ethylacetate, ether 및 water 용매를 이용한 모든 녹비작물 추출물의 0.25 mg/mL 농도에서부터 높은 항균활성을 나타내었다. 특히, methanol 용매를 이용한 하우스솔고 추출물은 감자 더뎅이병균에 대하여 다른 녹비작물 보다 더 높은 항균력을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과들로부터 하우스솔고의 이용은 감자 더뎅이병 경감을 위한 최적의 녹비작물로 생각되었다.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of shading on the growth and productivity of strawberries. Photosynthesis was normally achieved under natural light without shading treatment, and vegetative growth of under- and aboveground part of strawberry plants were excellent. Strawberry fruit productivity and quality were different depending on shading conditions. In natural light, they were improved possibly by balanced vegetative and reproductive growth. However, under light-shading conditions with insufficient sunshine, photosynthetic activity deteriorated and carbohydrate production was therfore inadequate; this adversely affected plant height and quality. The negative effects were more pronounced at 50% shading condition. Shading treatments resulting in insufficient sunshine had a detrimental impact on plant productivity and growth; this implies that proper shading conditions could heip improve yield and fruit quality.
