We screened preventives (preventers) from natural resources to prevent the rust phenomenon in ginseng roots. We examined that how these influence on the rusty phenomenon and the growth of 2 years old ginsengs treated in the preventers. All treats which was compounding preventers & improvers were so excellent of the ginsengs growth. Especially, the growth of 2 years old ginsengs treated with bio-preventer of ICPE-C105 and ICPE-P107R were increased to 73%, 28% compared with nontreatment, respectively. Though rusty ginseng of rate was emerged 58% in control, preventers ICPE-C 105 and ICPE-P107 were emerged of each 16.7%, 20%. It was affirmed effective of preventer. On the other hands, amounts of ginsenoside treated with preventatives showed to be changed. The total ginsenoside was increased to 71% with treatment ICPE-C105R which is the highest among groups compared to control, and ICPE-P$\_$107/R was increased to 50%. To sum up with total results, it is biotic preventatives (ICPE-C$\_$105/R and ICPE-P$\_$107/R) which we created improve both a high yield of ginseng roots and the inhibition of the rusty phenomenon. phenomenon.

Root rot caused by Cylindrocarpon destructans is one of the most important diseases of ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer). Two types of symptoms found in ginseng root rot are black root rot and rusty root (rusty spots), in which disease severities are high and low, respectively. Symptom development and related histopathological changes were examined in an inoculation test on 2-year-old ginseng roots using virulent (Cy9801) and avirulent (Cy0001) isolates of C. destructans under different temperature conditions (13, 18, 23, and $28^{\circ}C$). Black root rot was only induced by Cy9801 in the lower temperature range (13, 18, and $23^{\circ}C$) and not at the higher temperature ($28^{\circ}C$). No black root rot, but only rusty spot symptoms, were induced by Cy0001 at all temperatures tested except $13^{\circ}C$, at which no symptoms occurred on over half of inoculation sites, suggesting disease development was influenced by pathogen virulence and temperature. Wound periderms were formed in all root tissues with rust spot symptoms at $28^{\circ}C$ caused by Cy9801 and at 18, 23, and $28^{\circ}C$ temperatures caused by Cy0001. No wound periderm was formed at $13^{\circ}C$ by either Cy9801 or Cy0001. Light microscopy revealed that the wound periderm was formed by initial cell divisions in cell wall formation and/or additional cell wall layering in parenchyma cells without obvious nuclear division, followed by layering of the divided cells adjacent to the inoculation sites, blocking the spread of the rot. These results suggest that disease development declined at lower temperatures and by the formation of a wound periderm at higher temperatures, and that ginseng rusty root may develop under conditions unfavorable for further disease development of C. destructans.

We screened biotic and abiotic preventative,i(preventers) from natural resources to prevent the rusty phenomenon in ginseng roots. To select preventatives(preventers), soil microbes such as Agrobacterium and certain microbes isolated from the rusty ginsengs and the soil in which the rusty ginsengs were planted and used. It is also performed with germination tests of the seeds of Latuca Sativa L. We identified that how selected preventatives(preventers) effect the germination of ginseng seeds. Furthermore, how these influence on the rusty phenomenon and the growth of 1 -year-old ginsengs treated in the pavement. The final preventatives; ICPE-C1$\sub$05/, ICPE-P$\^$107/ were effective in not only the growth of ginseng, but also inhibition of the rusty phenomenon. Moreover, we selected abiotic soil improvers; called P, R, and W, respectively; to promote the effects of preventatives. R and W was excellented among choring improvers. The germination rate of 2-year-old ginsengs treated with ICPE-C$\sub$105/P, and ICPE-P$\sub$107/P was the highest under the effects of naturally selected preventatives mixing with abiotic soil improvers. All treat which was compounding preventers & improvers were so excellented of growth ginseng. Especially treats of ICPE-C$\sub$105/R and ICPE-P$\sub$107/R showed growth increased of each 67.3% and 52.7% As well, the growth of ginseng was the highest in the treatment of ICPE-C$\sub$105/R, and ICPE-P$\sub$105/R. Though rusty of rate was emerged 35% in control, preventers ICPE-C$\sub$105/R and ICPE-P$\sub$107/R were emerged 5.3%. It was affirmed effective of preventer. On the other hands, amounts of ginsenoside treated with preventatives showed to be changed. The ginsenoside was increased to 14.2% with treatment with ICPE-P$\sub$107/R which is highest among groups compared to control, and ICPE-C$\sub$105/P was increased to 5.0%. To sum up with total results, it is judged that biotic preventatives (ICPE-C$\sub$105/R, and ICPE-P$\sub$107/R) which we created improve both a high yield of ginseng and the inhibition of the rusty phenomenon. phenomenon.

In the preliminary experiment, the factors(soil moisture content, type of organic fertilizers, wound of ginseng, and concentration of rusty-root causing bacteria) inducing the rusty-root of ginseng were investigated. The Hue values were measured for the degree of rustiness affected by the factors. The rustiness was severe on the wounded-ginseng and on the ginseng inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens (CG20126). The Hue values of the control, the non-wounded ginseng inoculated with CG20126, the wounded-ginseng, and the wounded-ginseng inoculated with CG20126 were 113.3, 108.1, 85.8, and 57.5, respectively. The Hue value of the horticulture bed-soil was 56.8 whereas the value of the paddy bed-soil counterpart was 64.7. The Hue values on the ginseng roots grown in the soil containing 10%, 20%, 50%, and 70% of moisture, were 96.2, 85.9, 78.0, and 75.7, respectively. The organic fertilizer increased the rustiness of ginseng and the range of Hue values was 35.2-27.8. The increased concentrations of A. tumefaciens CG20126 increased the rustiness of ginseng. The concentration of A. tumefaciens CG20126 at $10^{2},\;10^{4},\;10^{6},\;and\;10^{8}cells/m{\ell}$ resulted in the Hue values of 62.8, 63.3, 55.6, and 48.8, respectively.

This paper reports the characteristics of 8 new cultivars for selected from Korean ginseng. The occurance of multi stems were the highest in Yunpoong(45%) and the lowest in Gumpoong(7%), but growth of aerial parts were the highest in Gumpoong and the lowest In Yunpoong among new cultiyars. The ratio of seeds harvest were the highest in Gumpoong(85.4%) and the lowest in Chunpoong(69.1%), but number of seeds per plant were the highest in Yunpoong(108.3ea) and the lowest in Chunpoong(77.5ea) among new cultivars. The ratio of leaf burning were the highest in Chunpoong but the lowest in Yunpoong among new cultivars. In weight distribution of the different parts of the ginseng roots, the ratio of main root were high in Jakyungjong(63.1%) but low in new cultivars(49%-55.9%), but the ratio of lateral root were high in new cultivars(19.3-23.3%), but low in Jakyungjong(13.2%), the ratio of fine root were not different. Root yield declined in the order of Yunpoong, Gumpoong, Gopoong, Chunpoong, Sunpoong, Jakyungjong. The length of main root were the longest in Chunpoong(8,0cm) but the shortest in Yunpoong(6,4cm), The ratio of rusty-root was low in new cultivars(0,2-9,5%), but high in Jakyungiong(16,3%). The grade of red ginseng roots decreased in the order of Chunpoong, Gumpoong, Gopoong, Sunpoong, Yunpoong, Cheongsun, Jakyungjong. The total ginsenoside contents per dry weight in main roots was high in Gumpoong(8.53mg), Yunpoong(8.13mg), Gopoong(7,47mg), but low in Chunpoong(5.73mg), Sunpoong(4.87mg).

Background: Ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) is an important medicinal herbs in Asia. However, ginseng varieties are less developed. Method: To developed ginseng varieties, a pure line selection method was applied in this study. Results: Gumpoong was testing of 4-yr-old specimens in 2002, the proportions of the below-ground roots that were rusty colored for Gumpoong was 1.29 in Daejeon and 1.45 in Eumseong, whereas the proportions for its yellow berry variant were 2.60 and 2.45 in the two regions, respectively. Thus the Gumpoong was resistant to root rust. Sunpoong has a high yielding property. Its average root weight is 70.6 g for 6-yr-old roots. Its yield is 2.9 kg/$1.62m^2$ and the rate of heaven- and earth-grade product is 20.9%, which is very high compared to 9.4% for Yunpoong. Sunone is resistance to root rot and the survival rate of 4-yr-old roots was 44.4% in 1997, whereas that of the violet-stem variant landrace was 21.7%. Sunhyang has content of arginyl-fructosyl-glucose (AFG), which produces the unique scent of red ginseng, is $95.1{\mu}mol/g$ and greater than the $30.8{\mu}mol/g$ of Chunpoong in 6-yr-old plants. Sunun and Cheongsun are being nurtured to protect genetic resources. Conclusion: Developed ginsneg varieties will be used as the basis for the protection of genetic resources and breeding.

This study was carried out to ascertain the basic information on characteristics of Korean Ginseng(Panax ginseng) and American ginseng(Panax quinquefolius), F$_1$ hybrids. Interspecies hybrids between Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius were examined morphological characteristics, rusty root incidence, and contents of effective ingredients such as ginsenosides. The summarized results are as follows. In Panax ginseng, rusty root incidence tended to increase with age of ginseng, but there was no difference in the incidence among ginseng ages and cultivation years in Panax quinquefolius and F$_1$ hybrid. The interspecies hybrid of panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius flowered later than the Panax ginseng, but earlier than the Panax quinquefolius. As for the characteristics of ginseng root, Panax quinquefolius seedling was better than cv. Panax ginseng, as the former had longer and heavier seedling root than the latter. Ginsenosides of the hybrid F$_1$ showed intermediate value in amounts of Rb$_1$, Rb$_2$, Rc and Rd which were detected as in Panax gineng and Panax quinquefolius. The amount of Re of the hybrid was higher, but that of Rg$_1$ and Rg$_2$ in main and branch roots was lower compared with its parents. Rf was 0.14% and 0.20% in main and branch roots of Panax ginseng, respectively; however, no Rf was detected in Panax quinquefolius and in the hybrid F$_1$. This suggests there may be remarkable difference in Rf content among the ginseng species.

Rust-spot on North American ginseng roots (Panax quinquefolius L.) is considered a physiological, not a pathological disorder. Ginseng rust-spot starts as an orange spot on the surface of the root and may spread forming a sunken, round to irregular lesion. 5 mm in diameter. Pieces of root, 7 mm in length and containing a rust-spotted lesion, were embedded in agar and sectioned using a vibratome. These sections and hand sections, cut with a two-sided razor blade, were examined using fluorescence microscopy. The 4-5 cell layers of the periderm were destroyed in the area of the lesion and orange substance:, were deposited in and around the lesion. Sections stained with vanillin-HCI and viewed using bright field microscopy confirmed that the orange substances were phenolic compounds. Scanning electron micros-copy showed that the periderm had pulled away from the root, or was completely destroyed, in the area of the lesion. The smooth surface of the lesion indicates the deposition of phenolic compounds in surrounding cells as a wound response. Roots sprayed or dipped in ethephon (1500 mgㆍL$^{-1}$ ) developed rust-spots, more so at 21$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ than at 3$\pm$0.2$^{\circ}C$. Roots held at 21$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ were yellowish and developed white cell proliferations. Comparable control roots also developed rust-spots likely due to the high undecomposed organic matter content of the incubation soilless mix.

Background: The cultivation of ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) in greenhouses could reduce the use of pesticides and result in higher yield; however, construction costs are problematic. The adaptation of direct-sowing culture in greenhouses could reduce the cost of ginseng production. Methods and Results: To improve seedling establishment in direct-sowing culture, effects of sowing density (SD), number of seeds sown per hole (SN), and thinning (TH) treatment on the root yield were investigated after 3 years of seeding. The emergence rate was significantly influenced by SD, but not by SN or TH. Damping-off and rusty roots increased with an increase in SN with diminishing effects of SN on seedling establishment. Root weight and diameter were affected by SD, SN, and TH, however, there were no statistical significances. The total number of roots harvested per unit area increased with increasing SD and SN, and the weight of roots was affected by SD, but not by SN or TH. Conclusions: Multi-seed sowing per hole and/or thinning might not be an efficient method for the direct-sowing culture of ginseng. The SD for direct seeding culture in greenhouses should be approximately $33-42seeds/m^2$ for an optimum yield of 3-year-old ginseng.
