This study was carried out to investigate the effects of stem cutting ages and harvest time on the growth and yield of potato 'Dejima' in aeroponics. The stem cuttings were produced from in vitro plantlets and transplanted into an aeroponic system with 20, 30, 40 and 50 day-old stem cuttings (DOS). Tubers were harvested 60, 70, 80 and 90 days after transplanting (DAT) and sorted into following categories: $1{\sim}5$, $5{\sim}10$, $10{\sim}20$, $20{\sim}30$, $30{\sim}40$ and over 40 g. Plant height from the 40 DOS was the highest during the growing periods but no significant difference was observed on 75 DAT. The tuber weight increased until 90 DAT with the greatest weight of tubers in the 20 and 40 DOS. However, there was no significant difference among 20, 30 and 40 DOS in the number and weight of tubers. Harvesting at 80 and 90 DAT increased the number of tubers over 5 g, which are usually considered as appropriate for direct field planting.

Gastrodia elata has been cultivated using mycorrizal fungi including Armillaria mellea as an energy source (myco-hetrotrophy) because it is aphyllous and achlorophyllous archid. But the yields of G. elata have been recently decreased owing to the degeneration of spawn tuber arised from successive asexual reproduction. Therefore, this study was carried out to solve this degeneration by seed germination, namely sexual reproduction. The seed germination of G. elata was excellent on the fallen leaves medium of oak tree. The fruetification rate of the capsule of G. elata by artificial pollination was 94.1% and better than natural pollination. The living weight of capsules of G. elata suitable for seeds germination was above 31 mg. The middle-matured seeds and matured seeds of capules were largely germinated, while the immatured seeds was small germinated. The storage temperature of the cropped capsules suitable for a favorable seed germination was $0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ and the storage period of it was one month.

In order to examine the possibility of seed propagation of jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) which has been propagated vegatatively so far, it was investigated the growth characteristics of seedlings and the biomass productivity by seed propagation in jerusalem artichoke. The results indicated that the seedlings from seeds exhibited the physiological dwarfing as a rosette habit. The physiological dwarfing as a rosette habit in jerusalem artichoke seedlings from seeds was a kind of appearance affected by photoperiod. This abnormal habit in seedlings from JA6 seeds during the growing period was persisted in short photoperiod of 10 hrs but was disappeared in long photoperiod of 14 hrs. In the condition of long photoperiod, seedlings from seeds grew normally and the average tuber yields obtained from seed propagation was finally 3.51 ton/10a, which can be the satisfying level to the use of seed propagation despite its complexity such as the needs of specific seedling time because it gives a high biomass productivity. This potential utilization of seed propagation in jerusalem artichoke can be basically applied to the collection or preservation of germ plasm and the improvement of jerusalem artichoke.

Effect of eight different treatments to stimulate germination and of seedling ageson the growth and tuber yields of Liriope platyphlla was carried out in vitro(room temperature)and in vivo(field). Treatments, in vitro, of sulfuric acid(2%), $GA_3$(100ppm), and stratification were most stimulated the germination of L.platyphylla. Among them the stratification was also the most effective for emergence in field and was shortened the days to germination in vitro and in vivo. Plant height and the number of leaves and tillers per plant in the sulfuric acid and the vinyl mulch treatments were the poorest, but those in other treatments were highered without any differences. Seeding of L.platyphylla was taken 66 days to emerge and the growth of that was more decreased than that of the seedlings. The younger seedling, the shorter the day of emergence of a new shoot. The olders were bloomed earlier and more increased the growth than the yongers and the divided seedlings, but the tuber yield was most increased in the 3 years seedling.

Jayoung was bred within the potato breeding program of Highland Agriculture Research Center (HARC), National Institute of Crop Science. It was originated from a cross made between Atlantic as a female and AG34314 as a male parent in 2003. Jayoung was evaluated as a clone number Daegwan 1-104 for the growth and tuber characteristics, yielding ability, and resistance to major potato diseases in the regional yield trials from 2006 to 2007. Finally, this clone was renamed as Jayoung and was presented to Korean Seed & Variety Service in 2007 for registration as a new potato cultivar. Jayoung has a oval shape, shallow eye depth, dark purple skinned and fleshed tuber characteristics. Its mean tuber yields from the regional yield trials was 37.3 MT/ha, and it showed the highest yield in spring cropping. Jayoung showed high resistance to both common scab (Streptomyces scabies) and potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), however it was susceptible to late blight (Phytophthora infestans). The dry matter content of Jayoung was fairy high 20.3%, therefore it is suitable for both chip processing and table usage. Its anthocyanin content was the highest in autumn cropping as 43.7 mg/100 g fresh weight and its mean anthocyanin content was 4.7 times higher than that of Jasim.

The occurrence of potato(Sotanum tuberosum) viral diseases caused by Potato virus X(PVX), Potato virus Y (PVY), Potato leafroll virus(PLRV), Potato vims S(PVS), Potato virus M(PVM), Potato virus A(PVA), Potato virus T(PVT), Alfalfa mosic virus(AIMV), Tobacco mosic virus(TMV), Potato mop top virus(PMTV) Tobacco rattle virus(TRV) and Potato spindle tuber viroid(PSTVd), potato witches' broom phytoplasma, have been identified so far in Korea. Major viral diseases such as PVX, PVY and PLRV had been studied more deeply, however, the others are just identified and only partially characterized since the first study on the relation between PVX nucleic acid and virus protein by Kim in 1961. The most studies on potato viral diseases are mainly focused on the problems of seed potato production. The National Alpine Agricultural Experiment Station(NAAES), since it began its activities in 1961, has given special attention to this problem by doing studies to identify, characterize and control potato virus diseases. This effort resulted in the development of new potato virus detection methods as a basis for elaborating new method of control, such as the production of seed potato free of virus and the selection of new virus-resistant transgenic potatoes. The further studies of potato viral diseases required would be fallowings: the continuous monitoring for the occurrence of identified or not identified potato viruses in Korea, the isolation of resistant viral genes, the development of control method for the non-persistently transmitted viruses like PVY, special vectors such as nematode and fungus transmitted viruses, TRV and PMTV and the development of control methods against potato viral diseases by viral cross protection, therapy, transgenic plant, and the use of the agents or molecules, such as virus inhibitors and antiviral proteins, etc., blocking viral replication.

The present study was performed to select suitable potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties for double cropping in seed production using aeroponic system, the nutrient solution was sprayed for 20 seconds in every 3 minutes, and potatoes were planted into styrofoam at a distance of 25 cm between plants. Transplantation was completed in September 9 and potatoes were harvested in November 12. The 10 trial cultivars, 'Atlantic', 'Dejima', 'Haryong', 'Hongyoung', 'Jayoung', 'Jopung', 'Jowon', 'Namsuh', 'Seohong', 'Superior' were examined for growth and yield. The shoot growth of all cultivars at the early stage was better than 'Superior', however, no difference was observed at the late stage of plant growth. In addition, 'Superior' showed a excellent root growth during the early plant growth stage, however, increased root growth was only found in 'Jayoung', 'Seohong', during the late plant growth stage. The stolon weight was greater in the order of 'Seohong'>'Superior'>'Jayoung'>'Hongyoung'. Particularly, the number of tuber in 'Jowon' was 22.4/plant that was over twice than 'Superior'(11.3/plant). As results of the current study, therefore, we concluded that four cultivars 'Seohong', 'Jayoung', 'Hongyoung', 'Jowon'were the most suitable cultivars for basic seed production using aeroponic system in Autumn potato.

This study is to select good diploid clones and develope them into FDR clones. Seventeen diploid clones were selected by tuber plants from the imported diploid potato seeds and from the progenies of the crosses between them. The characteristics of the selected clones were reported. Fifteen clones were crossed among them or open pollinated or bulk pollinated, and 18 selections were made from the seed progenies of these pollinations. Male and female unreduced gametes were searched by crossing 2x, 4x and by microtechnique. Only one clone, D6-21 was found to produce unreduced male gamete with the rate of 27-30% by FDR. Unreduced female gamete has not been found among these diploids.

The biological efficiencies of promising Pleurotus spp. were evaluated. Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus tuberregium,and Pleurotus sajor-cajuwere investigated at temperatures of 22℃, 20℃, and 18℃ to determine their ability to adapt to temperatures that are likely to be found in subtropical regions. The experiment was conducted using a substrate comprising Popular sawdust 60% + cotton seed 20% + beet pulp 20% under a relative humidity of 65%. The results indicated that there were significant differences in terms of biological efficiency between the species: P. tuber regium 128.84% at 22℃, P. ostreatus 108.41% at 22℃, and P. sajor-caju is 80% at 20℃. The common temperatures at which all species showed the highest biological efficiencies were 22℃ and 20℃. Therefore, the production of the evaluated species was equal to or surpassed biological efficiencies reported in tropical environments, thereby demonstrating a potential opportunity to adapt to tropical environments without compromising quality standards.
