This study was conducted to evaluate the growth characteristics of creeping bentgrass cultivars for fairway of golf course at Yeoju area in Korea. At germination and coverage rate of creeping bentgrass, 'Shark' and 'CY-2' were excellent, 'L-93', 'Alpha', 'T-1 was in order', respectively. Visual qualities of 'Shark' and 'CY-2' also were excellent. Especially, 'Shark', 'T-1', and 'CY-2' showed excellent visual quality in summer days, the critical times for the bentgrass fairway quality. 'Shark', 'CY-2' and 'T-1' were excellent in Chlorophyll contents throughout the evaluation period. Chlorophyll content of 'T-1' was maintained very high in summer. 'CY-2' and 'Shark' showed the best root growth at the beginning of the study and contained longer and hairy roots. Which might make these two cultivars' water absorption easier than other's. NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index)of 'Shark', 'L-93' and 'CY-2' was excellent, respectively. 'T-1' showed the highest density and 'Shark', 'CY-2', 'Alpha', 'L-93' was followed by. The density of 'T-1' was rather increased in summer season, while those of other cultivars were decreased. Three diseases such as anthracnose, brown patch, and dollar spot, were appeared during the evaluation period. 'T-1' and 'L-93' were very sensitive to anthracnose which occurred at the beginning days of the study. The most susceptible cultivars to brown patch were 'Alpha' and 'L-93'. 'T-1' was the least resistant to dollar spot which occurred at the same time with brown patch.

This study was conducted to see the feasibility of breeding for sprout soybean cultivar with minimum benny flavor using lipoxygenase-less lines. Lipoxygenase-less cultivar Jinpumkong2 was crossed by lipoxygenase containing Gwangankong, Sebaeknamulkong, and Pureunkong as paternal parent and 24 lipoxygenase-less lines derived from those 3 combinations were selected and those lines were evaluated with their parental cultivars. Germination rate showed no difference between lipoxygenase-less lines and their parental cultivars, however, rates of normal sprout of those and Jinpumkong2 were 63 and $56\%$, and were lower than that of paternal parents. Hypocotyl length of those was same as Jinpumkong2, however, shorter than paternal parents. Texture characteristics including hardness, cutting force and mastication of 96 hour-cultured sprout of lipoxygenase-less lines showed higher value than that of their parental cultivars. Lipoxtgenase isozyme was not detected in the sprout cotyledon of lipoxygenase-less lines, however it was observed in the sprout hypocotyl of all the used genotypes. Though lipoxygenase activity in the seed of lipoxygenase-less lines was lower than that of Jinpumkong2(0.477, ${Delta}A$ 234 nm min-1 mg meal-1),2 lines revealed more than 0.5 value. Lipoxygenase-activity of 2 day-cultured sprout(both cotyledon and hypocotyl) was the highest, decreased in 3 days after culture and re-increased thereafter. Several lipoxygenase-less lines with lower lipoxygenase activity of sprout than Jinpumkong2 were selected and this suggested the possibility of breeding lines for soy-sprout with low benny flavor.

The objective of this study was to evaluate difference of quality properties of between fresh cooked rice and re-heated cooked rice after retrogradation. Nine rice varieties raised by NICS were compared the properties of physicochemical, texture, sensory evaluation, toyo glossiness value, pasting properties. Among nine rice cultivars, the changes of weight and length-width ratio of after soaking as well as cooking showed how water absorbed in each rice granule. The amount of water absorption after soaking was highest in Wolback (semi-waxy), Hiami and lowest in Samgwang, Seonpum, Ilpum. After cooking, the amount of water absorption was high in Dasan 1 and Andabyeo, however low in Ilpum. In the length-width ratio after soaking, Wolback (semi-waxy cultivar) and Anda (indica cultivar) increase their volume relatively as their shape are while others increased more in length than width. Among cooked rice, the highest value of length-width ratio shows in Anda, Dasan1, Hiami and Seonpum, the Wolbak was similar to that of non-glutinous rice. After cooking, the others stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 16 hours for retrogradation (imitated at convenience store). Then re-heated using by microwave. Pasting properties were considerably affected by storage temperature and periods of rice. The setback showed in the following order: Wolback (-92.25 RVU, the lowest retrogradation) < Seonpum (-35.20) < Chindle (-22.08) < Jungsanggold (-21.98). Toyo glossiness value of cooked rice showed in the following order: Chindle (82.40) > Samgwang (79.43) > Hiami (79.23). Sensory evaluation of re-heated rice of Jungsanggold, Samgwang, and Chindle were 78.97, 78.36, and 77.35, respectively. Hardness, elasticity, and toughness of re-heated rice ware increased compared to cooked rice, whereas cohesiveness was decreased. Hardness and elasticity is higher in Seonpum, Dasan1 and Hiami, toughness is higher in Jungsanggold, Samgwang and Wolbak. Cohesiveness of Jungsanggold and wolbak showed higher than others.

The objective of this study was to determine the best performing switchgrass (Panicumvirgatum L.) cultivar with three different seeding dates as a bioenergy source in Republic of Korea. Split-plot in time with three replications was performed and three switchgrass cultivars, Carthage (CT), Cave-in-Rock (CIR), and Forestburg (FB) were used in this experiment from 2009 to 2012. Plots were seeded on April 23, May 4, and May 13, 2009 and were harvested once in November each year. No fertilizer was applied to the field for the first year; however, in second and third years (June 2010 and May 2011, respectively), N, $P_2O_5$ and K2O fertilizers were applied in 67,45 and 90 kg $ha^{-1}$, respectively. Soil pH (5.9) and climate condition including temperature ($10.4{\sim}17.5^{\circ}C$) and precipitation (89.4~109.8 mm $month^{-1}$) were suitable for switchgrass cultivation. Total dry matter yields were higher in CT and CIR compared to FB and were 16.9, 15.9, and 4.5 ton $ha^{-1}$, for CT, CIR, and FB, respectively (p<0.0001). The samples were analyzed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), crude fiber (CF), ether extract (EE), and ash. No significant differences in energy content (p = 0.96) and chemical composition among cultivars (p>0.05) were found. Seeding dates did not affect DM yield (ton $ha^{-1}$), chemical composition and energy content significantly (p>0.05). Significant difference was observed for heights among CT, CIR, and FB (177.59, 169.98, and 94.89 cm, respectively, p = 0.0002). In conclusion, based on soil characteristics and climate condition in Korea compared to other countries, switchgrass can be cultivated successfully. Considering dry matter yield and energy content of these three cultivars of switchgrass CT and CIR adapted better to climate in Middle Eastern of Republic of Korea than Forestburg for bioenergy purpose.

Occurrence of plant diseases is dependent on various factors in the agricultural system. Due to recent extensive environmental climate changes, i.e. global warming, agricultural systems such as planting dates and cultivars are being affected. Gradual transition in disease occurrence and incidence in the agricultural fields can also be affected by direct and/or indirect environmental changes. In this study, we evaluated disease occurrence and incidence in soybean plants to investigate whether it could be related with cultivars, planting dates and geographical differences in Korea in 2008. Soybean cultivars including 'Taekwang', 'Pungsan', 'Cheongja 3', 'Saeol', and 'Dawon' were planted in four different dates, May 15, June 1, June 15, and June 30, in two locations, Suwon, and Naju. Soybean diseases such as wild fire and bacterial pustule were mainly found depending on cultivars, planting dates, and areas. Wild fire occurred severely on cv. 'Taekwang' while bacterial blight did on cv. 'Dawon' among tested cultivars. Disease developments of wild fire and bacterial blight generally decreased in delayed planting regardless of cultivars.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of strawberries from different cultivars and ripening stages grown in Korea. Fragaria ananassa 'Seolhyang' and 'Janghee' in unripe and ripe stages were used in this study. Overall, firmness of unripe fruits was harder than that of ripe fruits, whereas firmness of 'Seolhyang' was harder than that of 'Janghee'. There was no significant difference in soluble solid content (SSC) between the two cultivars, whereas SSC increased when fruits matured. Total phenolic and flavonoid concentrations of 'Seolhyang' were greater than those of 'Janghee' cultivar. However, there was no ripening effect on total phenolic concentration in both cultivars. Total anthocyanin concentrations of the two cultivars were higher in ripe stage while that of 'Janghee' was greater than that of 'Seolhyang' statistically. Total antioxidant activities of 'Seolhyang' were greater than those of 'Janghee'. Total phenolic and flavonoid concentrations were highly correlated with antioxidant activities but there was no correlation between total anthocyanins and total antioxidant activities.

This experiment was conducted to know tolerance to cold temperature of the grape shoots collected at different locations and dormant periods in 1996 to 1997. The results from this experiment were as follows; (1) There is a little difference among locations in their electric conductance of Campbell Early cultivar, in Dec. 1996. But the least damage was shown at Kyung Joo while severe at Young Dong district in Jan. 1997. (2) Electric conductance of Sheridan cultivar was showing the same tendency as Campbell Early. (3) Early dormant period(December) affected severe bud browning at Young Dong than that of January. The grape shoot collected at Kyung San and Kyung Joo Showed a little influence on bud browning during December and January. (4) Likewise, bark browning of the grape shoot collected at Young Dong showed the same tendency with bud browning test. (5) The bud of grape shoot was bursted even at $-20^{\circ}C$. But rate of bud bursting was lower at Young Dong than the other districts at $-15^{\circ}C$ and $-20^{\circ}C$. From these results, the authors believe that we must introduce and test for suitable cultivation area and temperature before selection of permanent cultivating location.

Flammulina velutipes, which is a white rot fungus, is a commercially important edible mushroom and is produced in large quantities with the help of an automated and mechanized cultivation system in Korea. F. velutipes has the lowest distribution rate among domestic cultivars, estimated at about 20 percent. As most white cultivars of F. velutipes produced and exported to Korea were introduced from Japan, farmers pay large amounts of royalties. Therefore, we have developed a new, purely domestic cultivar, "Baeke," to substitute for Japanese cultivars, which has improved storage characteristics for export. Baeke was bred by mating two monokaryotic strains isolated from ASI 4216-18 (Hansol) and ASI 4217-26 (Baekjung). Baeke showed faster mycelial growth and higher mycelial density upon incubation for seven days at $25^{\circ}C$ on PDA media than the control variety. The mycelial growth of Baeke was even maintained at $30^{\circ}C$ unlike the control. The lengths of pilei and stipes in Baeke harvested in the optimal stage were $11.2{\pm}0.5mm$ and $125{\pm}5.4mm$, respectively, and they were $11{\pm}0.5mm$ and $141.9{\pm}5.7mm$, respectively, in the control harvested in the optimal stage. The yields of Baeke ($257.4{\pm}13.5g$) and control ($270.7{\pm}17.8g$) per 1,100ml in bottle cultivation showed no significant difference. Overall, our results showed that Baeke was at par with foreign varieties of Flammulina velutipes in terms of quality and yield and had a uniformly shaped fruitbody, which added to its commercial value.
