We isolated and confirmed two S-RNases, denoted as mpS1 and mpS2, from apple rootstock 'Marubakaido' (Malus prunifolia Borkh. Var. ringo Asami). These S-RNases contained and conserved five cysteine residues and two histidine residues, which are essential for RNase activity. The mpS1 showed high similarity to S5 (99.1%) of Malus spectabilis, whereas the mpS2 showed 99.5% nucleotide sequence similarity to S26 of (Malus ${\times}$ domestica) and 99.6% to S35 of (Malus sieversii) when compared with reported S-RNases. In amino acid sequences, the mpS1-RNase was almost similar to the S5-RNase of Malus spectabilis, and the mpS2-RNase was similar to the S35 of Malus sieversii, with only one bp being different from the S26-RNase of Malus ${\times}$ domestica. The 57 S-RNases of Malus species were renamed and rearranged containing the new S-RNases, as mprpS35 (mpS2) and mprpS57 (mpS1), for determining S-genotypes and identifying new alleles from apple species (Malus spp.).

We compared the quality of 'Fuji' apples (Malus ${\times}$ domestica) from trees whose leaves were not removed (no artificial defoliation; NAD) with apples from trees that underwent early defoliation (ED, treated in mid September and early October) and conventional defoliation (CD, treated in early and mid October). The experiment was conducted in three consecutive years using 15-year-old 'Fuji' apple grafted on Malus prunifolia. Fruits were harvested on November 7, 16 or 12 in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Compared to NAD treatment, ED and CD treatment reduced the fresh weight by 4.7% and 0.6%, respectively. The soluble solids content of NAD apples ($14.4^{\circ}Brix$) was slightly higher than that of CD ($14.1^{\circ}Brix$) and ED ($14.0^{\circ}Brix$) apples. Soluble sugar content, flesh firmness, water-core index, and titratable acidity were not affected by defoliation treatment regardless of treatment timing. The skin blush index of NAD apples (2.3) was inferior to that of CD (3.3) and ED (3.4)- treated apples. Furthermore, artificial defoliation treatments increased skin redness ($a^*$) and yellowness ($b^*$) and significantly improved the degree of skin blush compared to NAD fruits.

To improve the utility of apple, apple flesh (Malus domestica cv. Fuji), pomace and peels were dried and then extracted using solvents (water, 70% and 100% ethanol). The contents of polyphenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, ursolic acid and antioxidant activities were measured as extracted from the apple flesh, pomace and peel. The content of polyphenols was the highest in the apple peel when 100% ethanol was extracted. The content of flavonoids was about 3~8 times higher in apple peel than those of flesh and pomace, and 70% ethanol extract was the highest content. Ascorbic acid content was the highest in apple peel as well as flavonoid content. The content of ursolic acid in the apple flesh was not detected in water and ethanol extraction. In the case of apple pomace and peel, ursolic acid was not detected in water extract but it was detected when ethanol was extracted. The content of ursolic acid was highest in the apple peel. In the case of antioxidative activity, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability showed the highest ability when apple peel was extracted with 70% ethanol.

Two different pest control programs were applied on 8-year-old 'Ryoka'/M.26 apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.). Lime sulfur or Bordeaux mixture with emulsified oil were applied 12 times from late March to mid-September as organic treatment, and synthetic chemicals were 7 times applied as control treatment. Over the entire apple-growing season, photosynthesis rates of apple trees were significantly lower in the organic treatment than in the control, and this photosynthetic differences were larger in July and August. Photosynthesis-related parameters such as stomatal conductance and transpiration behaved similarly to photosynthesis. The leaf area in the organic treatment was significantly smaller ($24.7cm^2$) than that in the control treatment ($30.7cm^2$). Organic leaves contained significantly less Chl. a ($15.5mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$) than did control leaves ($17.6mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$). Fruit yield per tree was significantly lower in the organic treatment (18.8 kg) than in the control (24.5 kg), because organic fruits experienced a higher rate of disease infection such as white rot (Botryosphaeria dothidae) and bitter rot (Glomerella cingulata) than did control fruits. Organic fruits had high flesh firmness but less color development (lower Hunter's a values). In this experiment, the pest control program with frequent applications of organic fungicides showed negative effects on photosynthesis and disease infection on leaves and fruits, and thus reduce the fruit quality and yield in 'Ryoka'/M.26 apple trees.

This study selected commonly known species of fruit trees, and re-selected the species that endure the stress of extreme cold weather and physiologically restore themselves to the previous state until the following year. Then we could go ahead to propose the species that were appropriate as urban greening plants in weather condition of any part of the country. To do this, we conducted an experiments for six species of fruit trees based on the preference of the general public and recommendation of the experts; Morus alba (English name: mulberries), Diospyros kaki (English name: Persimmon), Prunus persia (English name: Peach), Elaeagnus umbellata var. coreana (English name: Korean Autumn Olive), Malus domestica 'Alps Otome' (English name: Alps Otome), and Prunus mume (English name: Blue Plum). The experiment verifies whether the trees survive without any stress from the cold weather under the national climate conditions (one in the suburbs of Seoul: Yongin city, one in the central Chungcheong region: Daejeon city, and in the southern Gyeongsang region: Jinju city in Korea). The experiment lasted for a year from August 2016 to August 2017. The levels of electrolytic efflux, chlorophyll content, plant height, fresh weight, and dry weight were measured four times (on August of 2016, January, February, and August of 2017) for each tree planted bare ground outdoors. Results showed that Diospyros kaki, Prunus persia, and Malus domestica 'Alps Otome' were proven durable and resistant to winters of all three areas (one in the suburbs of Seoul: Yongin city, one in the central Chungcheong region: Daejeon city, and in the southern Gyeongsang region: Jinju city in Korea). Especially, the increase of chlorophyll content and the reduction of electrolytic efflux were noticeable in Prunus persia than in the other two species, proving itself as the most cold-tolerant among the six species used in the experiment. In addition, interpreting from the physiological restoration data of one-year span before and after getting through winterer, Prunus persia was proven to be the most cold-tolerant species.

온난다습 한 기후대의 미국 남부지방에서 2008년에 유기인증을 받은 '엔터프라이즈' 사과나무(Malus${\times}$domestica Borkh.)를 대상으로 수체피해[왜콩풍뎅이(Popillia japonica Newman), 설치류, 고사율, 잡초밀도]에 대한 잎과 토양의 무기성분 및 수체생장과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 과원은 유기질 멀칭 4종류와 비료 3종류를 복합으로 처리하였고, 멀칭은 초생, 종이, 우드칩, 식물성퇴비를 포함하였고, 비료는 무비료, 계분, 상업용 유기질비료를 매년 4월에 수체 주위에 시용하였다. 수체피해인 설치류와 잡초밀도는 무기성분이나 수체생장과는 별다른 상관관계가 관찰되지 않았다. 왜콩풍뎅이에 의한 잎 피해는 식물성퇴비 멀칭구에서 높았고(26.5%), 고사율은 초생멀칭구에서 가장 높았다. 주당 바이오매스 생산량은 우드칩과 식물성퇴비 멀칭구에서 약 3,700 g으로 나머지 처리보다 2배 이상 높게 나타났다. 상관관계분석을 통한 잎의 왜콩풍뎅이 피해율은 토양과 잎의 무기성분이 증가하면 심해지는 경향을 보였고, 영양생장 지표인 주간 단면적과 강한 정의 상관관계($r^2=0.585$)가 관찰되었다. 수체 고사율은 토양 내 무기성분보다는 수체의 무기성분 함량과 수체생장과 부의 상관관계가 관찰되었다. 이에 미국 남부지방 과원에서 시용된 우드칩은 유기물함량을 증가시키고 유목의 건전성을 확보하는 동시에 토양 내의 풍뎅이류 등의 해충과 설치류의 피해 정도를 최소화할 수 있는 지역 맞춤형 피복자재로 판단되었다.

To acquaint correct information about the fertilizability and analyze S-allele based genetic diversity among Korean apples, we investigated self-incompatibility genotypes by PCR and cross-pollination tests in field. As a consequence, S-genotypes of Korean apples were distributed within narrow genetic diversity as $S_1S_3$ for 'Hongro' and 'Saenara'; $S_1S_9$ for 'Gamhong' and 'Manbok'; $S_3S_5$ for 'Seokwang'; $S_3S_9$ for 'Sunhong', 'Seohong', 'Chukwang', and 'Hwahong'. Coupled with cross-pollination experiments in field, our results provide support for the view that apples are fully compatible when both of their S-loci differ and semi-compatible when they carry one different and one identical S-locus. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that S-alleles have to be extended to various genotypes for Korean apple breeding.

만생종 'Fuji' 사과(Malus × domestica)는 과피 착색에 따라 수확시기가 가변적인 품종이다. Ethephon은 ethylene 발생을 촉진하는 식물생장조절제로 사과나무를 포함한 호흡급등형 과수작물의 과실 성숙과 관련된 생리적 반응을 유도한다. 본 연구는 'Fuji'/M.26 사과의 경제적이고 안정적인 수확기 조절 방법을 제시하고자 과실 비대생장 종료 후 ethephon 단용처리와 ethephon 및 염화칼슘 혼합처리가 과실특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 과실 비대생장이 종료된 만개 후 145일에 100 mg/L ethephon과 100 mg/L ethephon 및 0.5% 염화칼슘 혼합용액을 분무처리 후 10일 주기로 과실특성을 조사하였다. Ethephon 단용처리구와 ethephon 및 염화칼슘 혼합처리구 모두 만개 후 155일부터 전분함량이 감소되어 과실성숙이 촉진되었으며, 수확 10일 전 전분함량은 대조구의 수확기 전분함량과 유사하였다. 과피 착색은 ethephon 및 염화칼슘 혼합처리구에서 ethephon 단용처리구보다 착색률이 낮았으나 대조구보다는 높았다. 과실 평균 경도는 ethephon 단용처리구가 가장 낮았으며, ethephon 및 염화칼슘 혼합처리구는 대조구와 유사하였다. 수확기 당산비는 세 처리구 간에 유의한 차이는 없었으나 수확 10일 전 ethephon 단용처리구와 ethephon 및 염화칼슘 혼합처리구의 적정산도가 대조구보다 유의적으로 낮았다. 특히 2021년 수확 10일 전 ethephon 단용처리구와 ethephon 및 염화칼슘 혼합처리구의 당산비는 수확기 당산비와 유사하였다. 따라서 'Fuji'/M.26의 과실 비대생장이 종료된 시점에 100 mg/L ethephon과 0.5% 염화칼슘 혼합처리를 통해 과실성숙과 과피 착색을 수확기보다 10일 촉진할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

A pot-lysimeter experiment was conducted with 3-year-old 'Tsugaru' apple (Malus domestica Borkh) trees to examine the changes in oxygen diffusion rate (ODR) with lateral flow velocity of water through soil. The influence of lateral water flow velocity on water relations and elemental content in leaf, and sap temperature distribution patterns of the xylem of trees were also determined. Trees were grown under four soil water regimes: (1) fast laterally flowing (FWT, $2.50{\times}10^{-4}cm\;s^{-1}$), (2) slow laterally flowing (SWT, $0.25{\times}10^{-4}cm\;s^{-1}$), and (3) stagnant water table (WLT) at 60-cm, and (4) drip-irrigation at -40 kPa of soil matric potential as a control. The rate of $O_2$ diffusion converged near $2{\times}10^{-3}g\;m^{-2}\;min^{-1}$ for FWT and control soils, but decreased below $1{\times}10^{-3}g\;m^{-2}\;min^{-1}$ 40 days after treatment (DAT) for WLT soils. For SWT soils, however, the ODR at 15 cm below the soil surface was similar to that of control, but at 45 cm below the soil surface, ODR was similar to that of the WLT treatment. Leaf water potential of FWT and SWT plants was similar to that of control plants, but the values for SWT plants declined by 98 DAT. Leaf water potential of WLT plants decreased from -1.86 MPa (9 DAT) to -2.41 MPa (59 DAT) and finally down to -2.70 MPa. The sap temperature measured at 1100-hr was lowest at top and highest at bottom for FWT and control plants, but this pattern of SWT and WLT plants was disturbed from 29 DAT. However, for SWT plants, such thermal disturbance of sap temperature disappeared from 63 DAT.
