The genetic relationship among 48 Cymbidium cultivars was analyzed using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) with eighty 10 mers random primers (Operon Technologies) and twelve 20 mers random primers. Forty eight Cymbidium cultivars included 34 oriental Cymbidium, 7 hybrids, and 7 western Cymbidium. 407 (9.9 per primer) and 56 polymorphic bands (9.5 per primer) were generated by polymerase chain reaction with selected thirty 10 mers primers, and nine 20 mers primers, respectively. The polymorphic fragments ranged from 0.4 to 1.5 kb in size. The dendrogram was constructed by using the UPGMA clustering algorithm based on genetic similarity. Forty eight Cymbidium cultivars were classified into four major groups at similarity coefficient value of 0.638.

A new grafted cactus cultivar, G. mihanovichii 'Ihong', for exporting abroad, was developed by crossing G. mihanovichii 'DR' line with dark red color, and G. mihanovichii 'Seolhong' cultivar with dark red in 2005. It grew for 6 months after grafting in vitro and culturing at 100 mL test tube. After grafting and planting in greenhouse in 2006, various characteristics were evaluated three times until 2009. It has flat round shape and dark red skin. In addition, it has 8 to 10 ribs and brown straight spines on the body. Its diameter was 44.0 mm after 10 months from planting, and bigger comparing with that of 'Seolhong' cultivar. The ability of propagation in 'Ihong' was better than that of 'Seolhong' and 'Ihong' approximately produced 15.8 offsets for 10 months.

Genetic diversity among 28 Cymbidium varieties was evaluated by using a sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) marker system. The SRAP marker which was based on the open reading frames (ORFs) regions was developed primarily for Brassica species, but has been applied to various crops. A total of 30 SRAP primer combinations were initially screened. Twenty-eight SRAP primer combinations showed high polymorphism among the 28 Cymbidium varieties, which were consisted of breeding varieties and their parents in National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS). The amplified DNA fragments were separated by denaturing acrylamide gels and detected silver staining method. One hundred ninety six polymorphic bands (7 per primer) were generated and ranged from 0.3 to 1.0 kb in size. Polymorphic fragments were scored for calculating simple matching coefficient of genetic similarity and cluster analysis with multi-variate statistical package (MVSP) 3.1. The mean genetic similarity coefficient value was 0.588. The results showed that the correlation between $F_1$ varieties and their parents was high. These studied SRAP markers will be useful tools for genotype identification, germplasm conservation, genetic relationships in Cymbidium.

This study was conducted to develop the DNA markers for identification of the strawberry cultivars in Korea and Japan. We developed fifteen cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers based on the Fragaria gene sequences. Among them six CAPS markers showed polymorphism exclusively in one cultivar. Five CAPS markers (ANR-MspI, ANR-BamHI, ACO-HinfI, DFR-AseI, FGT-MspI) provided enough polymorphism to identify eight Korean strawberry cultivars except for 'Maehyang' and 'Sunhong'. To complement the fifteen CAPS markers, we selected another fifteen sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) and one of them, me1/em5_460bp marker, made it possible to discriminate between 'Maehyang' and 'Sunhong'. Therefore, application of the five CAPS markers and one SRAP marker were sufficient to identify the nineteen Korean and Japanese strawberry cultivars. These markers could be used practically for cultivar identification of Korean and Japanese strawberry.

Floral scents and metabolites from cut flowers of 14 peony cultivars (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) were analyzed to discriminate different cultivars and to compare the Korean cultivar with the other cut peonies imported to Korea using electronic nose (E-nose) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant function analysis (DFA) dendrogram of peony floral scents were not precisely same but there were 3 groups including same cultivars. PCA and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) dendrograms of peony metabolites showed that different cut peony cultivars were clustered into two major groups including same cultivars. Fragrance pattern of Korean 'Taebaek' was classified to same group with 'Jubilee' on the PCA and DFA results and its metabolite pattern was clearly discriminated by the PCA and PLS-DA compared to the other cultivars. These results show that the 14 peony cut flowers could be discriminated corresponding to their chemical relationship and the metabolic profile of Korean 'Taebaek' has distinctive characteristics. Furthermore, we suggest that these results could be used as the preliminary data for breeding new cut peony cultivars and for improving the availability of Korean cut peony in cosmetic industry.

Storage temperature profoundly influences the storability of paprika (Capsicum annuum L.). However, the impact of storage temperature on storability and its association with the antioxidant activity of paprika are poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the storage attributes, activity, and gene expression levels of antioxidant enzymes in paprika stored at 4, 10, and 20℃ for 14 d and then at 20℃ for an additional 5 d (14+5 d; retail conditions). Storage at 10℃ effectively mitigated pitting, stalk browning, shriveling, and decay while significantly enhancing the marketability of paprika. The fruits stored at 4℃ were prone to pitting, whereas those stored at 20℃ were sensitive to stalk browning and decay. Moreover, paprika stored at 10℃ exhibited higher 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) activity and total phenolic content than those stored at 4 and 20℃, indicating improved antioxidant activity. Additionally, storage at 10℃ upregulated the expression levels of the antioxidant genes, catalase and peroxidase, suggesting the mechanism underlying the quality enhancement of paprika. Our findings suggest that paprika storage at 10℃ alleviates chilling injuries, preserves the quality and marketability, and enhances the antioxidant potential of paprika. These findings provide insights into how temperature influences the quality and minimizes post-harvest losses during the storage and distribution of paprika.

The aims of this study were to compare genetic distances among 14 Phalaenopsis varieties using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) marker systems and to determine the discrimination using SSR. A total of 111 SSR primers and 30 SRAP combinations were initially screened. Twelve SSR primers and thirty SRAP combinations showed high polymorphism among the 14 Phalaenopsis varieties including domestic breeding varieties, conserved in National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS). The amplified DNA fragments were separated by denaturing acrylamide gels and detected by silver staining method. A total of 474 polymorphic bands, including 55 by SSRs and 419 by SRAPs, were identified and used for genetic diversity analysis. Polymorphic bands were scored for calculating a simple matching coefficient of genetic similarity and cluster analysis with multi-variate statistical package (MVSP) 3.1. Fourteen Phalaenopsis varieties were classified into three major groups at similarity coefficient value of 0.683 and 0.66 using SRAP and SSR, respectively. Also we could discriminate these domestic breeding Palaenopsis varieties using only SSR 20 and SSR 22. The results indicate that SSR analysis is effective for discrimination among Phalaenopsis varieties and SRAP is useful for genetic diversity when there is no sequence information. These studied SSR and SRAP markers will be useful tools for genotype identification, germplasm conservation and genetic relationship study in Phalaenopsis.

Phalaenopsis (P.) has various species, and some of them have strong fragrance. There are fragrant species such as P. bellina, P. violacea, P. schilleriana and used in breeding program for fragrant Phalaenopsis. This study was performed for establishment of fragrance analysis system using GC-MS and electronic nose in eight P. resources. We analyzed fragrant compound using the tissue of sepal, petal, column, and lip of P. '3010'. The percentage of the major compound was high in the petal and lip tissues. The main compound emitted from P. bellina was linalool (21.21%). It was possible that fragrance pattern could be analyzed among the resources using the electronic nose. Discriminant function analysis (DFA) was more useful than the principal component analysis (PCA) in statistics program. We utilized GC-MS method for the major compounds of flower from our breeding materials. This study would be useful to the fragrant analysis system for the fragrant orchid breeding in the future.

This study was conducted to analyze the fragrance characteristics of Cymbidium 'Saelbit' and 'Midan' according to floral organs. As test materials, full bloom flowers were divided into four organs: sepal, petal, labellum, and column. Using the gas chromatography (GC) based electronic nose, fragrance patterns, intensity, and volatile components were analyzed. Principle component analysis (PCA) and discriminant factorial analysis (DFA) plots by electronic nose data showed that volatiles of both cultivars have a distinct difference in fragrance patterns according to the floral organs, and the value of fragrance distance and pattern discrimination index (PDI) between samples was significantly high between control and sepals in both cultivars. Among the main fragrance components, several components including nootkatone were detected in both cultivars and all floral organs. However, few components such as decane were found in specific cultivar or floral organs. These results will provide useful information to select suitable materials with desired fragrance and to enhance the utilization of domestic Cymbidium cultivars. In addition, considering the recent negative perception of artificial ingredients and the growing demand for natural materials, continuous researches on scent properties of promising cultivars are required.
