To investigate the Possibility of making noodle with Job's tears flour(JTV), it was mixed with wheat flour by the ratio of 60oyo. Making characteristics of noodle was studied in terms of cooking quality test, color measurement and sensory evaluation. The cooking quality of noodles with 10~40% JTF was almost same value as control in weight and volume of cooked noodle. Color difference ($\Delta$E) between noodles with JFT and control was revealed appreciable value. Though noodles with 10~30% JFT was not significantly different from control in color, only noodle with 10% JFT was same as control In texture by sensory evaluation test.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of improved NPK fertilizer and ameliorator application methods on job's tears yield and soil properties in the newly-reclaimed land from 1985 through 1988. Job's tears height of integrated improvement plot was higher than the other plots, and increased from the 1st and the 2nd year, but decreased from the 3rd year when soil conditioner was not applied. Average yield of the crop in the integrated improvement plot was 2.16 t /ha being increased by 49% more than the control plot, and the yield was the greatest in order of integrated improvement>subsoiling>phosphate>lime>compost>control plot. Soil bulk density and hardness of the topsoil decreased to the 3rd year, but increased in the 4th year. Soil pH of the topsoil was not changed significantly by different soil depths and cultivated years.

We carried out this study to confirm the possibility of C. wilfordii cultivation using crop as a substitute for stake or net, and tested sit support crops, i.e., soybean, peanut, Perilla frutescens var. acuta Kudo, Job's tears, sorghum, and corn compared with net support. Effects of support crops on growth and root yield of C. wilfordii were as follows. Attracting efficiency of vine showed 94∼100% among crops. The number of branches per plant was 1 or 2 more in p. frutescens var. acuta Kudo, Job's tears, and sorghum support than in net support. Fresh root yield per 10a was 919kg in net support, while it was 717kg in P. frutescens var. acute Kudo, 656kg in Job' tears, and 652kg in sorghum support. However, the problem of decreased yield in these support crops could be overcome by cost saving of staking installation and by harvesting support crops. Therefore, C. wilfordii cultivation using P. frutescens var. acute Kudo, Job's tears, and sorghum as support crops showed most effective in labor and cost saving.

Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi) is native to East Asia, and grains of the plant are used as health food and medicinal material. Head blight symptoms of the plant were frequently observed during disease surveys in Korea from 2006 to 2008. The symptoms were characterized as discoloration of husks, and subsequently inside of mature grains were shriveled or emptied. One hundred fifty nine isolates of Fusarium species were obtained from the disease symptoms of the plant collected from several locations in the country. Out of the isolates, the most frequently isolated Fusarium species were F. graminearum (34%), F. proliferatum (14.5%), F. verticillioides (10.1%), F. equiseti (6.9%), and F. fujikuroi (6.3%). Other Fusarium species isolated were F. subglutinans, F. semitectum, F. poae, and F. sporodochioides. Elongation factor 1 alpha gene sequences of the isolates were used for phylogenetic analysis. Analyses of the sequences revealed that the isolates were confirmed to be identical with each reference species of NCBI GenBank. Pathogenicity tests showed that F. graminearum, F. proliferatum and F. verticillioides were strongly virulent to grains of Job's tears. The present study is the first report of head blight of Job's tears caused by Fusarium species in Korea.

Optimal extraction, separation, and capillary rinsing conditions for capillary electrophoresis (CE) were established to identify the cultivation site (domestic vs. foreign) of Job's-tears (Coix lachrymajobi var. mayuen) using 240 samples (domestic sample n = 121, foreign sample n = 119). Job's-tears was extracted with 30% ethanol and separated on a $50-{\mu}m-I.D.$ untreated fused-silica capillary. Optimal analytic conditions were: temperature, $45^{\circ}C$; voltage, 15 kV; detector rise time, 0.1 sec; and pressure injection, 20 sec. Separation of peak investigated using 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) containing 0.05% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (P buffer) revealed the optimal separation buffer was P buffer containing 26 mM hexane sulfonic acid with 30% methanol. Under the optimal conditions established for CE, the average correct identification percentage of domestic or foreign Job's-tears was 82%.

To determine optimal sowing time of Job's Tears in southern areas of Korea, Job's Tear cv. Seungju local cultivar was grown under three different sowing times. The results obtained are summariz cd as follows:I . Yield components such as plant length, stem diameter and number of leaves etc. were the highest at the sowing time of Apr. 15. 2. Plants sown at Apr. 15 showed the highest fresh and dry matter yield. 3. As plants were grown under later sowing time. they showed higher values in content of crude protein and lower values in contents of crude fiber such as NDF. ADF and cellulose.

Diseased leaves of Job's tears were collected at six locations in Korea to isolate and identify the pathogen causing leaf blight. Conidia were brown, fusoid, and slightly curved. They were $25{\sim}46{\times}10{\sim}15\;{\mu}m$ in size, and had mostly 4 septa which were characteristic of pseudosepta. A few conidia had slightly protruding hila, whereas most had no hilum. Conidial germ tubes were produced mostly from both polar end cells (bipolar), and progressed in semiaxial direction. When seedlings of Job's tears were inoculated with conidia, long, spindle-shaped, and brown lesions were produced on leaves, and entire leaves became blighted 15 days later. Based on the aggressiveness in pathogenicity, the isolates could be divided into two groups. Considering the mycological characteristics and pathogenicity of the fungus, the pathogen causing leaf blight of Job's tears was determined to be Bipolaris coicis (Nisikado) Shoemaker.

This study was conducted to optimize roasting process of Job's tears for utilization as food Optimal condition for masting was investigated with changes in temperature and time by response surface methodology. The qualities of water extract such as browning degree, polyphenol and DPPH radical scavenging ability were affected more by roasting temperature than time. The values increased with temperature and time proportionally. The response variables were more significant with temperature than time and the established polynomial model was suitable (P>0.05) model by Lack-of-Fit analysis. Optimal roasting conditions with the limit of $0.2{\sim}0.3$ browning degree, $2.0{\sim}2.5{\mu}g/mL$ polyphenol, $30{\sim}40%$ scavenging ability and $0{\sim}100$ hue angle were $215^{\circ}C$ and 32 min.
