This study was carried out to develope new zoysiagrass cultivar 'Millock'(Patent registration No. : 10-2005-0110051). Artificial selfing of collected line of MJ8 was conducted to develope F1 plant (MJ8S). Among the inbred progenies, MJ8S-9 (Millock) showed superior performance in color, density, and rust resistance. 'Millock' showed genetically dark green color, with medium-textured leaf ($4.2{\pm}0.44$ mm), short internode length ($3.5{\pm}0.28$ cm), and wide leaf angle ($52.5{\pm}10.8$ degree). Height to the lowest leaf blade of this cultivar was $1.9{\pm}0.91$ cm, which may allow low mowing height. 'Millock' has a yellowish green stolen. Also, specific bands with primer number OPB 8 by RAPD analysis can be used for a cultivar identification.

Inflorescence, stem, and leaf samples of lettuce grown in a greenhouse in spring and autumn seasons were assayed for sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) content by high performance liquid chromatography. The concentrations of SLs were significantly higher in the inflorescences followed by upper leaf and stem compared to the other plant parts in most of the samples. SLs content (sum of lactucin and lactucopicrin) in various tissues of lettuce cultivated in spring season varied from 5.7 to 22.5 fold ranging from $27.4{\mu}g/g$ dry weight (DW) in the upper stem (cultivar "PI 176588") as the lowest to as high as $2,292.0{\mu}g/g$ DW in the inflorescence (cultivar "709849-1"). During autumn cultivation, the concentration of SLs varied from 2.0 to 14.4 fold ranging from as low of $32.4{\mu}g/g$ DW in the lower stem (cultivar "PI176588") to as high of $838.0{\mu}g/g$ DW in the upper leaf (cultivar "Dambaesangchu"). Higher lactucin (1.2 to 5.6 fold) and lactucopicrin (1.1 to 3.9 fold) concentration was observed during spring compared to autumn cultivation in most of the samples. SLs content in various organs of lettuce increases from the basal plant part going upwards. As lactucin and lactucopicrin are the major SLs which affects the sensory property of lettuce, their quantitative variation in the lettuce cultivars is useful for breeding new varieties with better consumer acceptance.

A new Dendranthema grandiflourm 'My Sun' was developed at Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Research & Extension Services (GARES), Korea in 2009. 'My Sun' was initially derived from the cross in 2005 between 'Omega Time Orange', a potted chrysanthemum cultivar with orange single type, and 'Tasman', a potted chrysanthemum cultivar with white single type in 2005. The cultivar has single type flowers with yellow petals. Trial and evaluation was conducted from 2006 to 2009 for the selection of this variety, including a shading culture in spring and a retarding culture in winter. The flowering time of 'My Sun' was October 13th, and year-round flowering is possible by shading or lighting treatment. The diameter of flower is 21.0 mm. Numbers of flowers per stem and petals per flower are 34.4 and 20.4, respectively. Its leaf color was green (Green Group 137A) and plant height was 13.3 cm. Days to flowering under the short day treatment is about 42 in spring, and numbers of branch per plant was 3.4 ea in the winter. This cultivar was resistance to white rust and consumer's preference of new pot-mum is high level than control.

Optimum stand density of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) varies with locations and climates. Stand density is one of the factors that determines herbage yield, forage quality and persistence of alfalfa. As establishment costs increase, the question arises whether present population densities are optimum for obtaining maximum herbage yield and forage quality. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the optimum plant density for highest herbage yield and forage quality for the dehydrated alfalfa industry under Edmontons climatic conditions in Alberta, Canada; 2) to compare herbage yield and forage quality of the cultivars 'Algonquin' and 'Vernal' grown at a range of stand densities. Alfalfa seedlings of both cultivars were either transplanted at spacings of 6, 10, 15 and 25 cm or direct seeded at the 4.5 cm plant spacings, providing population densities of 494, 278, 100, 45 and $16plants/m^2$. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with a split-plot arrangement having three replicates; the main plots consisted of two alfalfa cultivars Algonquin and Vernal, and the sub-plots were the five population densities. The cultivar Vernal had significantly higher annual yield than did the cultivar Algonquin. There was no significant effect of plant density on herbage yield. There was no difference in crude protein (CP) between the two cultivars. At the first cut, there was a significant quadratic effect of plant density on CP content and the greatest CP occurred at the 100 plants/m2 density. Crude protein was not affected by plant density at the second cut. Acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were not affected by plant density. The cultivar Algonquin usually had a lower ADF and NDF than cultivar Vernal. In conclusion, high population densities ($278plants/m^2$ or more) of alfalfa did not improve herbage yield and forage quality compared with low plant population densities ($100plants/m^2$ or less) of alfalfa.

This research was carried out to selection of desirable cultivar for organic cultivation of carrot in Korea. The assay of disease resistance, insect tolerance and rate of bolting were investigated on 32 cultivars of genetic resources of carrot. This experiment was carried out at experimental field and greenhouse of Gangneung-Wonju National University. 'PI 223360' was resistant against powdery mildew. Ten cultivars including 'Oxheart Carrot Heirloom' were moderately resistant, 22 cultivars including 'Long Impeator #58' were susceptible to powdery mildew. Although there was no resistant cultivar against black rot and leaf blight, our results showed that several cultivars have moderate resistance. Thirteen cultivars including 'Oxheart Carrot Heirloom' were having insect (Erythroplusia pyropia) tolerance and 'SA 102' and 'Scarlet Keeper Carrot Rare' were susceptible. According to the investigation of bolting, 6 cultivars including 'Hongsim Ouchon Carrot' were early bolting and 4 cultivars including 'Japanese Imperial Long Carrot' were moderate bolting. Other cultivars were identified as late bolting. From above results, we confirmed that 'Oxheart Carrot Heirloom' was suitable cultivar for organic cultivation among 32 genetic resources of carrot.

Starch contents in healthy and powdery mildew-infected spring barley leaves at first and fifth leaf stages were measured at different intervals after inoculation. Different patterns of starch accumulation in the susceptible cultivar Peruvian and the adult plant resistant cultivar Asse were found in infected first and fifth leaves. At the early phase of infection, the amount of starch in infected first leaves was slightly changed in both cultivars. During colony development and sporulation, the decrease in starch content was .more marked in the susceptible Peruvian, whereas the amounts of starch in the adult plant resistant Asse increased during colony development and then decreased sharply before and after sporulation. In heavily infected first leaves, the susceptible cultivar Peruvian showed a drastic decrease in starch content. In the adult plant resistant cultivar Asse, the higher amount of starch retained in these infected leaves, regardless of infection intensity. The regulation of starch accumulation in mildewed barley plants at different leaf stages was discussed in relation to adult plant resistance of spring barley.

In order to determine the optimum planting density of Job's Tear, We investigatedagronomic characters, yield components and yields by using Ewon and Heuksuk cultivar. The characters, plant height, stem diameter, number of stems per $m^2$ and number of leaves per $m^2$, etc., were excellent in $60{\times}15cm$ planting space for the Ewon and Heuksuk local cultivar. Both the weight of 100 grains and that of 1 liter also higher for the Ewon local cultivar, and yield of stem and seed were the most excellent in $60{\times}15cm$ planting space for the Ewon and Heuksuk local cultivar. For the Ewon and Heuksuk, the analysis of variance for agronomic characters following the difference of planting density were acknowledged to be worth of attention.
