This experiment was conducted to evaluate the diversity and purity of the Korean ginseng (Panax gjnseng) lines developed by the pure line selection using RAPD markers. Four primer (OPA 19, OPM 11, URP 3 and UBC 98) out of the 48 primer tested produced band which showed within-line polymorphisms at least in one line. Within-line polymorphisms were detected in six lines by OPA 19, in four lines by URP 03, in five lines by OPM 11, and in one line by UBC 98 respectively. Five plants obtained from the commercial cultivar 'Cheonpung' were differentiated using the primers OPA 19 and OPM 11. Five plants obtained from the 'Yeonpung were differentiated using the primer OPM 11. Detection of within-line RAPD polymorphisms might be attributed to the fact that cross pollination appear in P. gjnseng and a long period of three to four years required to reach the reproductive stage thereby delay the process to homozygosity.

To select optimal shade material in paddy soil, growth characteristics and ginsenoside contents were investigated in new cultivar, 'Cheonpoong' of three-year-old ginseng cultured under three kinds of shade materials such as three-layered blue and one-layered black PE (polyethylene) net (TBPN), blue PE sheet (BPSS), and aluminium-coated PE sheet (APSS). The order of light transmission ratio and air temperature by shade materials were BPSS > APSS > TBSB among three shade materials. Average soil water tension in PDC and IDC was 64 mbar (absolute soil moisture, 25%) and 123 mbar (absolute soil moisture, 17%), respectively, and soil water tension in IDC was changed more distinctly than that of PDC by season and shade materials. Yield in PDC was distinctly decreased more than that in IDC because of the increase of discolored-leaf and rusted-root ratio. BPSS and TBPN among three shade materials were the most effective on the increase of yield in PDC and IDC, respectively. Ratio of rusty-colored root showed not significant difference by drainage class and shade materials. Contents of panaxatriol ginsenoside (Rg1, Re and Rf) were decreased in PDC, while it of panaxadiol ginsenoside (Rb1, Rc and Rd) were increased in IDC. Total ginsenoside contents of IDC was distinctly higher than that of PDC, and BPSS showed the highest contents among three shade materials regardless of poorly and imperfectly drainage class.
