Background: Rehmannia glutinosa is a perennial herb belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae. Its roots have been utilized as a traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to elucidate the basic information of the roots of the R. glutinosa cultivars and their utilization. Methods and Results: The roots of R. glutinosa cultivars were harvested in the end of March. The two iridoid glycosides, aucubin and catalpol, were analyzed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), whereas ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA) was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The aucubin content was the highest in the Dakang cultivar, whereas no aucubin was detected in the five cultivars. All cultivars had more than 12 mg/g catalpol content, and the maximum catalpol content was found in Jihwang 1. The GABA content was the highest in Suwon 1, and it was 40 times more than that in the Yeongang cultivar. Conclusions: The highest aucubin, catapol and GABA contents were detected in the Dakang, Jihwang 1, and Suwon 1, cultivars respectively. This study provides the crucial information regarding the versatile utilization and pedigree selection of R. glutinosa cultivars.

Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae is one of the most serious diseases in Brassica crops worldwide. In this study, the pathotypes of 12 Korean P. brassicae field isolates were determined using various Chinese cabbage including 22 commercial cultivars from Korea, China, and Japan, and 15 inbred lines. All P. brassicae isolates exhibited the typical clubroot disease on non-clubroot resistant cultivar, indicating that the isolates were highly pathogenic. According to the reactions on the Williams' hosts, the 12 field isolates were initially classified into five races. However, when these isolates were inoculated onto clubroot-resistant (CR) cultivars of Chinese cabbage, several isolates led to different disease responses even though the isolates have been assigned to the same race by the Williams' host responses. Based on the pathogenicity results, the 12 field isolates were reclassified into four different groups: pathotype 1 (GN1, GN2, GS, JS, and HS), 2 (DJ and KS), 3 (HN1, PC, and YC), and 4 (HN2 and SS). In addition, the CR cultivars from Korea, China, and Japan exhibited distinguishable disease responses to the P. brassicae isolates, suggesting that the 22 cultivars used in this study, including the non-CR cultivars, are classified into four different host groups based on their disease resistance. Combining these findings, the four differential hosts of Chinese cabbage and four pathotype groups of P. brassicae might provide an efficient screening system for resistant cultivars and a new foundation of breeding strategies for CR Chinese cabbage.

Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler, the most produced mushroom in the world, is an edible mushroom with very high nutritional and pharmacological value. Currently, interest in the protection of genetic resources is increasing worldwide, and securing the distinction between new cultivars is very important. Therefore, the development of efficient molecular markers that can discriminate between L. edodes cultivars is required. In this study, we developed cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers for the identification of L. edodes cultivars (Sanbaekhyang and Sulbaekhyang). These markers were developed from whole genome sequencing data from L. edodes monokaryon strain B17 and resequencing data from 40 cultivars. A nucleotide deletion existed in scaffold 19 POS 214449 in Sanbaekhyang (GT→G), and a single nucleotide polymorphism changed in scaffold 7 POS 215801 in Sulbaekhyang (G→A). The restriction enzymes Hha I and HpyCH4IV distinguished Sanbaekhyang and Sulbaekhyang, respectively, from other cultivars. Thus, we developed two CAPS markers for the identification of the L. edodes cultivars Sanbaekhyang and Sulbaekhyang.

Diversity of 30 Korean potato cultivars was evaluated using 14 microsatellite markers. Twelve microsatellite markers representing 12 loci in the potato genome detected 84 polymorphisms among 30 cultivars and revealed alleles with a mean of 7.00 alleles per primer. The polymorphism information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.57 to 0.93 with average of 0.82. Based on polymorphism, cluster analysis was conducted by the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) methods. Thirty potato varieties were distinctly separated into 2 groups and similarity coefficient of cluster ranged from 0.58 to 0.95. Thirty tetraploid cultivars were evaluated for six important agronomic traits. One-way analysis of variance was done to look for the degree of relationships between individual markers and traits. K1 and K2 markers showed a significant association with amylose contents, starch contents, and specific gravity.

The purpose of this study is to analyze antioxidant activity and multidrug resistance reversing activity in several Korean colored soybean (Glycine max Merr.) cultivars. Antioxidant activity of methanol extracts from colored soybean cultivars was evaluated by TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) methods. By means of TBARS, cultivar "Jeonnam #1" showed the highest activity until 7 days, and followed by "Black #1", "Jinyul" and "Black #3", showing lower activity than that of BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene). Methanol extracts of all cultivars proved that DPPH radical scavenging activity is dose-dependent. Methanol extract from cultivar "Jeonnam #1" showed highest DPPH radical scavenging activity, and followed by cultivars "Black #1". MDR (multi-drug resistance reversing) activity, however, showed the highest effect in "Black #3" and the lowest "Black #1" cultivar. These results suggest that seed colors of soybean may play an important role in antioxidant activity and MDR activity.

Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV-HN) occurring Haenam area was isolated by mechanical inoculation onto barley cultivars, purification and production of antibody. BaYV-HN were purified from infected plants a filamentous virus with 13 nm in diameter and 250∼300 nm and 500∼650 nm in length. Specific antibody made by injecting the purified virus to the muscle of a rabbit. In gel-diffusion tests antibody to BaYMV-HN did not make spur with tow Japanese BaYMV isolates BaYMV-II-1 or BaYMV-III. BaYMV-HN showed the symptom of yellowing and necrosis in host plants. Mechanical inoculation tests with Japanese barley cultivars showed that BaYMV-HN infected New Golden, Akagi Nijo and Tosan Kawa 73, but did not infect Amagi Nijo, Haruna Nijo, Ishukushirazu (ym3), Misato Golden (Ym1), Kashimamugi, Joshushiro Hadaka and Mokusekko 3 (ym1). In Korean barley cultivars, some of the naked barleys which are Hinssalbori, Kinssalbori, Saessalbori and Saechalssalbori were not infected by BaYMV-HN. However, it infected all the covered barley cultivars and the beer barley cultivars. BaYMV-HN had two RNAs, RNA 1 (7.6 Kb) and RNA 2 (3.5 Kb), and one coat protein (33 KDa).

This study was conducted to examine the morphological characteristics of those Azalea Cultivars(hereinafter, Azalea Cultivars) that are mainly used for landscaping in Korea in order to prepare classification criteria. As testing materials, major Azalea Cultivars cultivated in large quantities by its producing companies were collected. Thereafter, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the traits of Azalea Cultivars were investigated in the way of characteristic investigation for new cultivars of azalea used by the Korea Seed and Variety Service in order to classify them and prepare the classification criteria. Since cultivar names have not been established for Azalea Cultivars for landscaping thus far, the data were compiled using the names used by cultivating companies. According to the results, Azalea Cultivars cultivated in Suncheon, Jeonnam mainly for landscaping were 10 in number; Beni, Daewang, Three, Zasanhong, Hancheol, Sancheoljuk, Gyeobsancheoljuk, Baekcheoljuk, Akado, and Seok-am. Among them, the cultivars Beni, Daewang, and Three could not be easily distinguished from each other because they are commonly called Yeongsanhong by cultivating companies and the shapes of their leaves and flowers are similar to each other. In particular, the flower color of Beni was 'bright red', that of Daewang was 'vivid purple', and that of Three was 'bright purple'. In addition, Zasanhong and Hancheol were similar to each other in shape the degree of expression of spots on the flowers and the gloss on the front side of the leaves of Hancheol were higher and stronger compared to that of Zasanhong. Sancheoljuk flowered in early April, earlier compared to other Azalea Cultivars. Gyeobsancheoljuk is an elementary species of Sancheoljuk and it had double flowers although all other traits were similar to those of Sancheoljuk. Although Baekcheoljuk was easily distinguished because it had white flowers, its leaves were similar to those of Akado the reason why these two cultivars could not be easily distinguished from each other. The cultivar Akado flowered early May later compared to other Azalea Cultivars and its flowers were relatively large in diameter as with Baekcheoljuk and Sancheoljuk. Finally, the cultivar Seok-am was easily distinguished because it had smaller leaves compared to other cultivars and it flowered late as with the cultivar Akado.

This study was conducted to evaluate imported tomato $F_1$ cultivars as breeding materials for the resistance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) by molecular markers and bioassay. From marker genotyping and disease evaluation of 40 $F_1$ cultivars, most of the cultivars declared as TYLCV-resistance carried heterozygous marker genotype for the TYLCV resistance genes Ty-1, Ty-3, or Ty-3a, and showed low disease rates. Whereas, 4 of 5 $F_1$ cultivars declared as intermediate resistance showed marker genotype for susceptibility and disease rates ranged 18.1-33.3%. However, the xx cultivars showed inconsistency in marker genotype and disease rate. Characterization of horticultural traits of the $F_1$ cultivars with TYLCV-resistance indicated that large-size fruit cultivars were higher in yield and similar in sugar contents and solid-acid ratio compared to a control cultivar preferred in the domestic market, although hardness remained to be a problem. On the other hand, cherry tomato cultivars showed lower yield and brix, but longer internode compared to a control cultivar, indicating that breeding for TYLCV-resistance using these cultivars will require more efforts and time compared to large-sized.
