This study was carried out to investigate the cause of leaf discoloration occurring frequently in paddy cultivation. Chemical property of soil and inorganic nutrient component of leaf were analyzed on abnormal fields of 7 regions where leaf discoloration occurred severely and normal fields of 7 regions among ginseng garden. The pH of abnormal fields was strong acidic condition (pH 5.51) compare to normal fields of slightly acid condition (pH 6.42). Calcium and magnesium content in abnormal fields were lower distinctly than that of normal fields, while EC, organic matter, phosphate, and potassium content showed not distinct difference between abnormal and normal fields. Whereas calcium and magnesium content were distinctly high in normal fields, both of potassium and iron content of ginseng leaf were distinctly high in abnormal fields. In particular, iron content of abnormal fields was more 1.94 times in soil, and 3.03 times in leaf than that of normal fields. In soil chemical property, there were significant negative correlation between leaf discoloration ratio and soil pH, and there were also significant positive correlation between leaf discoloration ratio and iron content. In ginseng leaf, there were highly significant negative correlation between leaf discoloration ratio and calcium content, and there were also highly significant positive correlation between leaf discoloration ratio and iron content.

The average sugar content and total acidity (tartaric acid %) in Campbell Early harvested at Youngdong, Chungbuk in 1998 were $11{\sim}16^{\circ}Brix\;and\;0.7{\sim}1.1%$, respectively. Extra sugar should be added to musts to have higher than 12% of alcohol content for red wine fermentation. When extra sugar and active dry yeast were added to Campbell Early must, wine fermentation was ended after 9 days at $25^{\circ}C$. The ethanol content was 14.7% (v/v). However, when sugar was added only without yeast, wine fermentation was ended up at 14. 4% (v/v) of ethanol after 15 days. The total acidity (tartaric acid %) and pH was almost unchanged during both fermentations. Potassium metabisulfite was found to inhibit the propagation of bacteria without affecting red wine fermentation. But when potassium metabisulfite was directly added to young red wine after fermentation, the red color of wine was decolorized to yellow.

Improvement of the macro- and micro-elements density of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is gradually becoming a new breeding objective. In this study, the genomic regions associated with potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron content in rice grain were identified and characterized by using a doubled haploid (DH) population. Fifty-six simple sequence repeat (SSR) and one hundred and twelve sequence tagged site (STS) markers were selected to construct the genetic linkage map of the DH population with a full length of 1808.3cM scanning 12 rice chromosomes. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were detected, and QTL effects and QTL interactions were calculated for five traits related to macro- and micro-elements in the DH population from a cross between 'Samgang' (Tongil) and 'Nagdong' (Japonica). Twelve QTLs were located on five chromosomes, consisting of two QTLs for potassium, three QTLs for calcium, two QTLs for magnesium, one QTL for iron content and four QTLs for the ratio of magnesium to potassium (Mg/K). Among them, qca1.1 was detected on chromosome 1 with an LOD value of 8.58 for calcium content. It explained 27% of phenotype variations with increasing effects from 'Samgang' allele. Furthermore, fifteen epistatic combinations with significant interactions were observed on ten chromosomes for five traits, which totally accounted for 4.19% to 12.72% of phenotype variations. The screening of relatively accurate QTLs will contribute to increase the efficiency of marker-assisted selection (MAS), and to accelerate the establishment of near-isogenic lines (NILs) and QTL pyramiding.

This study was conducted to establish the rapid evaluation method of chemical components of rice grain on the basis of non-destructive method. A near-infrared reflectance spectroscopic(NIRS) method was utilized, for the determination of amylose, protein, magnesium, and potassium content of rice. A multiple linear regression analysis for the data obtained by standard laboratory methods and NIRS method was carried out to make a calibration. The standard error of prediction for amylose, protein, magneisum and potassium content were 0.88%, 0.28%, 12.62mg and 10.79mg, respectively. It was concluded that the NlRS method can be useful the rapid determination of amylose, protein, magnesium and potassium content instead of the existing laboratory method.

Experiments were conducted to know the inorganic compound absorption of leaf, and the organic component, oil content, fatty acid composition of seeds by different fertilizer levels and growth stage of Pungn-yeonggage. Ripening rate and seed yield were highest under the standard of nitrogen fertilizer level. Nitrogen and potassium amount of leaves were highest at 20 days after seedlings, but there was no difference in phosphate between growth stages. Absorptions of nitrogen and potassium were increased by applying double amount of nitrogen fertilizer. Oleic fatty acid content was found highest under the double amount of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertilizer level, and linoleic fatty acid content was increased with double amount of phosphate fertilizer level.

'Taichung No. 2' is a new Asian pear cultivar developed in Taiwan with low chilling requirement; however, is likely to develop internal browning disorder under low temperature storage conditions. We investigated the impact of storage time on flesh browning disorder in pears harvested from 22 orchards in 2010 and 2011, and analyzed the levels of nutrients in different fruit parts such as the peel, flesh, and core. Calcium and potassium contents were higher in the flesh and peel, respectively, of more severely browned fruits, whereas a lower magnesium content was recorded in the peel and core of these fruits. Nitrogen and potassium contents in the peel, and calcium content in the flesh were positively correlated with browning disorder severity. By contrast, the magnesium content in the core was negatively correlated with browning disorder severity. However, the nutrient contents in fruits varied between the two sampling years considered. Only the K/Mg ratio was an effective predictor of the browning disorder severity and showed a positive linear correlation in the two years. We recommend that the K/Mg ratio should be lower than 10 to avoid severe browning disorder in pears.

Mass loss and changes of mineral nutrients during decomposition of Lepista nuda for 7 weeks from October 7 to December 28 in 1998 were investigated in an oak stand in Kongju, Korea. Content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium of the fresh L. nuda was 67.8, 4.1, 47.3, 0.4 and 1.5 ㎎/g, respectively. Content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in L. nuda were much higher than those in leaf litter. After 7 weeks, remaining mass was 35%. Nitrogen, phos- phorus and potassium increased till 5 weeks and then decreased rapidly, however, calcium and magnesium steadily increased during the experimental period. Nitrogen and phosphorus showed a short period of immobilization, and calcium showed no immobilization period during decomposition. After 7 weeks, remaining N, P, K, Ca and Mg was 26.6, 37.5, 28.5, 35.0 and 91.0% of the initial content, respectively. Nutrients could be relocated spatially during the formation and decomposition of fruiting body of Basidiomycetes.

The objective of this study was to determine phosphorus effects on drought stress-induced oxidative stress in Kentucky bluegrass. Drought stress was induced by reducing of water to plants in pots. Two types of phosphorus were applied as potassium phosphate (P) or potassium phosphonate (PA). Application of phosphorus was efficient to ameliorate the adverse effects of drought. Osmotic potential, total chlorophyll and carotenoid content were significantly decreased by drought stress, but was relieved by P or PA application. Superoxide (O₂^•-) concentration was significantly increased more than 14-fold under drought-stressed plants, was accompanied with increase of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and lipid peroxidation (MDA). However, malondialdehyde (MDA) was much less in P or PA applied plants under drought stress condition. Activities of catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and guaiacol-peroxidase (GPX) were largely increased by drought stress and its increase rate was much higher in P or PA applied plants except APX. These results indicate that drought stress-induced oxidative stress is alleviated by P or PA application due to the increase of activities of antioxidant enzymes.

We studied about the changes of Allylisothiocyanate (allyINCS) content in rhizome by growth period or season and the effect of foliar application of fertilizer on allylNCS content in Wasabia japonica. AllylNCS content in rhizome of Wasabia japonica was changed according to growth period or season and it was decreased suddenly in May, the last stage of flowering. Foliar application of 1 % urea increased rhizome weight, but had no effect on allylNCS content in rhizome. Total three times foliar applications of 1 % potassium sulfate from Feb. to April increased rhizome weight by 44% and allylNCS content by 38% compared with control and potassium sulfate was more effective than ammonium sulfate. Even though the use of 1 % urea and 1 % ammonium sulfate caused growth disorder due to high concentration, rhizome weight was similar to the control and allylNCS content of rhizome increased by 47% more than control.

Grape wine which contained 5.6% alcohol was produced on the 3rd day of first stage. Then through the second stages, grape vinegar, of which total acidity was 5.37% was produced. The quality of (A) and ( B) which was produced through the two stages of fermentation was compared with the traditional grape vinegar (C, D) in the market. The content of sugar in (D) was a little higher such as 5.4 $^{\circ}$Brix than others. That of (A) and (B) was 5.13, 4.98 $^{\circ}$Brix respectively. The content of remaining alcohol in (C) was high such as 0.23% comparatively. But there was no remaining alcohol in (A) and (B). The content of acetic acid was 4.3~5.3% as a major organic acid of vinegars. The content of tartaric acid was 340.0 in (A), 315.7 in (B), 322.6 in (C) and 391.7mg% in (D). The content of lactic acid was distinctly high such as 277.4mg% in (D) There were differences such as 9.2~15.5mg% in the content of total free amino acids among grape vinegars. (D) contained 15.5mg% of total free amino acid and (B) also highly such as 12.0mg%. Potassium was high in grape vinegars. The content of potassium, sodium and copper was higher in (A) than (B).
