Saponarin found in young barley sprouts has a variety of beneficial biological and pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, hypoglycemic, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective activities. Our previous work demonstrated that saponarin content was correlated with the expression levels of three biosynthetic pathway genes [chalcone synthase (HvCHS1), chalcone isomerase (HvCHI), and UDP-Glc:isovitexin 7-O-glucosyltransferase (HvOGT1)] in young barley seedlings under various abiotic stress conditions. In this study, we investigated the saponarin content and expression levels of three saponarin biosynthetic pathway genes in hulled and hulless domestic barley cultivars. In the early developmental stages, some hulled barley cultivars (Kunalbori1 and Heukdahyang) had much higher saponarin contents than did the hulless barley cultivars. An RNA expression analysis showed that in most barley cultivars, decreased saponarin content correlated with reduced expression of HvCHS1 and HvCHI, but not HvOGT1. Heat map analysis revealed both specific increases in HvCHS1 expression in certain hulled and hulless barley cultivars, as well as general changes that occurred during the different developmental stages of each barley cultivar. In summary, our results provide a molecular genetic basis for the metabolic engineering of barley plants to enhance their saponarin content.

The immunochemical property of lectin in soybean and the presence of lectin in seeds of six soybean cultivars were investigated by immunochemical methods. All seeds of six soybean cultivars formed one precipitin line against the soybean lectin antibody and showed immunochemically homologous precipitin pattern among the cultivars in immunodouble diffusion test. Four antigenic components in soybean lectin were detected by the crossed imuno-electrophoresis of a soybean seed antigen against the soybean lectin antibody. Cultivar, Jangyeop-kong contained the highest amount of lectin and the next were Kwangkyo, Hwangkeumkong, Baegunkong, and Jangbaegkong or Paldal-kong in order of lectin content. The lectin purified from the seeds of six soybean cultivars agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes, but did not agglutinate the fungal spores which were Fusarium sp., Alternaria sp., Cuvalaria sp., and Colletotrichum sp. isolated from the infected seeds or leaves of soybean.

Nineteen pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivars were screened for the resistance to two common species of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria. The tested pepper cultivars showed different degrees of resistance to M. incognita but all were resistant to M. arenaria. The cultivars cv. Gonggongchil, Green No. 500 Pimento, Dahonggeon, Manitta, Shinbaram, Perfecto, and Hanmaeum were resistant to the both species of root-knot nematodes. Therefore, seven selected resistant pepper cultivars are recommended as resistant rotation crops in greenhouses where root-knot nematodes are problematic.

During grain filling period, rice is affected by many environmental factors; including temperature, water, radiation and soil nutrition condition. In future climate, greater shading and heat tolerance will be required in rice. In this study, the effect of shading and high temperature on spikelet sterility was conducted on fourteen Vietnamese cultivars. Field experiments were studied in 2015 and 2016 to evaluate the response of Vietnamese cultivars under high temperature during grain filling stage. The high temperature and shading were applied by closing two sides of growth chamber and covered by a black cloth (50% reduced solar radiation) under the field condition after the first cultivar heading. The sterility increased significantly under high temperature and shading. The highest percentage sterile spiketlets was observed in 'Jasmine 85' (71.7%) under shading and in 'OM4900' (53.4%) under high temperature in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Among the treatments, the percentage of sterile spekelets in Vietnamese cultivars under shading was highest which was 54.9% and 41.8% in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Yield components reduced significantly in both of shading and high temperature. Corresponding with significantly decrease in yield components, the yield in high temperature and shading decreased strongly in both 2015 and 2016.

The two viruses of barley yellow mosaic(BaYMV) and barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV) were detected by ELISA from barley plants with virus-like symptoms which were collected from 16 locations in southern Korea, during 1995 and 1996. Both viruses occurred in southern Korea. Barley plants at Chongdo and Koseong were infected with BaMMV, while those infected with BaYMV were at Kurye and Taegu. After sowing 50 barley cultivars at habitually infected fields in 10 locations, the susceptibility and resistance to BaYMV and BaMMV were screened with antiserum tests. The cultivars of Albori, Alchanbori, Daejinbori, Jokangbori, Milyangbori, Boeunkwamek, Naehanssalbori, Olssalbori, Weossalbori, Dusan 29 and Deogndohyangchonkwa showed positive reaction to BaYMV antiserum, while Saeolbori, Chalbori, Jinjukwa and Baegjinkwa showed positive reaction to BaMMV. Nonsankwa 1-6 and wheat cultivars of Chongkeymil, Dahongmil, Grumil, Urimil, Jochonhomil, Sinkeyhomil showed negative reactions to both viruses. The rest cultivars were infected both with BaYMV and BaMMV. Sap inoculations to barleyplants with the two viruses of BaYMV isolated in Haenam and BaMMV isolated at National Honam Agricultural Station, expressed lower infection rate than those grown in the virus-infected fields.

Lipoxygenase(LOX) in soybeans is responsible for beany flavors which limit the wide utilization of soybeans to foods. This study was conducted to analyze beany flavor compounds of the normal Hwagkeumkong and LOX-deficient soybean cultivars, Jinpumkong which lacks L-2, L-3, and Jinpumkong 2 which lacks all L-1, L-2, L-3. Using the combination of dynamic headspace sampling and gas chromatography-mass selective detector(DHS-GC-MSD) for analyzing volatile compounds, hexanal and hexanol were identified in whole soy flour of all three soybena cultivars. Hwangkeumkong had more volatile compounds than Jinpumkong and Jinpumkong 2 in defatted soy flour. Hexanal and acetic acid were identified in soy milk of all three soybean cultivars but Hwangkeumkong had more volatile compounds than Jinpumkong 2. From the analysis with a static headspace sampling(SHS) and GC-MSD the major compounds were hexanal, acetic acid, 1-hexanol, and 1-octen-3-ol. The content of acetic acid was similar among three cultivars. But contents of hexanal and pentanal in Jinpumkong 2 were less than that of Jinpumkong and Hwangkeumkong. Using GC-FID, Jinpumkong 2 had less contents of hexanal and pentanol than Hwangkeumkong in whole soy flour and defatted soy flour. In this study, LOX-deficient soybean cultivars showed less hexanal, pentanol and other compounds than the normal Hwangkeumkong. However quite amount of beany flavor compounds were identified in Jinpumkong and Jinpumkong 2. So further studies are required to characterize LOX isozymes, to understand the mechanisms of beany flavors production, and to develop some other methods for removing beany flavor.

This study was conducted to obtain basic information on the development of new triticale cultivars with good quality and high productivity for soiling feed. Twelve cultivars introduced from Poland, Canada and two cultivars developed in Korea were planted in the experimental field at Ansong National University in 1995. Major growth traits and nutrient components for feed were measured and analyzed using principal component analysis and average linkage cluster analysis. 'Prego', 'Prag 46/3', and 'Clercal' were relatively high in forage yield. Most of forage nutrient contents except cellulose were higher in Prego, Clercal, and 'Cumulus' than other cultivars. Results of principal component analysis on 11 traits including forage yield and nutrient contents showed that 72.59% of total variation were explained by the first and second principal components. The Z$_1$ had high correlation with the contents of forage nutrient components and Z$_2$ with plant height, fresh, and dry weight. Fourteen cultivars were classified into 7 groups by multivariate analysis. Clercal and Prego in Group I could be useful source for the improvement of triticale as an important forage crop because they exhibited high productivity as well as high contents of nutrient components for feed.

Three potato cultivars, Sumi,Daejima and Namjak, were prepared as slices. They were dipped in distilled water for 20 seconds. The potato slices were packed in polyethylene bags and stored at $5^{\circ}C$. Browning degree, total phenol and chlorogenic acid contents and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity were measured. And the correlation analysis of browning parameters were conducted. The results were as follows. There were increase in browning degree, phenolic content and PPO activity during cold storage of potato slices with different cultivars. Among three cultivars, Sumi showed the highest browning degree, phenolic content and PPO activity and also showed the highest % increse of browning and PPO activity during cold storage. On the contrary, Daejima was the lowest. But Daejima showed the highest % increase in phenolic contents during cold storage. With Sumi, browning degree was significantly correlated with PPO activity and phenolic contents (p<0.05). With Daejima and Namjak, a significant correlation was found between browning degree and PPO activity (p<0.05). From the above results, enzymatic browning reactions of potato slices and factors affecting them were dependent on cultivar. Among the tested three cultivars, Daejima showed the lowest browning degree during cold storage and thus seems to be desirable for minimal processing.

To investigate the factors of the improvement of cultivation methods according to the plant type, three Burley tobacco cultivars were done. Experiments on the variability of plant type and factors representing the productivity and quality of the cultivar were subsequently carried out in relation to different fertilizer levels. Results are summarized as below. Use of more fertilizer resulted in higher plant height and longer leaf length but smaller mean leaf inclination(MLI). The horizontal leaf area distribution became greater in parts distal to the stem and the vertical leaf area distribution became greater in lower half than in upper half as the amount of fertilizer applied was increased. Br. 49 was the largest but Br. 21 and NTN 77 were similar with respect to both CGR and NAR. The yield was greater in larger MLI cultivars. These three characteristics became greater when the tobacco were heavier in the cultivars of larger MLI and increased with higher amount of fertilizer. Harvest index became greater as the amount of fertilizer decreased but not significantly differ among the cultivars. Total nitrogen content and nitrate - form nitrogen content were greater, more amount of fertilizer, and larger MLI cultivar plots. Total nitrogen content was higher in upper leaves. The filling power of tobacco leaves decreased but combustibility of leaves showed not significant trend as fertilizer application level increased.
