  • This study investigated the possibility of using pine tree sawdust in thinning-out tree as a substitute for poplar and douglas-fir tree sawdust in oyster mushroom cultivation. Mycelial growth was 10.8 cm in medium supplemented with 70% pine sawdust after 18 days of culture and 10.2 cm in control medium. Mycelial density showed high density with no significant difference between treatments. Fresh weight and diameter of fruiting bodies were slightly lower in medium supplemented with pine tree sawdust. The hardness of pine tree sawdust was slightly higher in the medium supplemented with 20% and 30% of pine tree sawdust. The L value showed a tendency to be higher in the pine added medium, but the a and b values d id not show any significant difference between the treatments. The yields of fruiting body were 157 g / 850 ml for the control and 170 g / 850 ml for the 40% added pine tree sawdust.

  • This study investigated the life history of the plum sawfly Monocellicampa pruni Wei, 1998 through field observations and laboratory experiments. M. pruni is a univoltine, complete metamorphosis species with five instars at the larval stage. Adults emerge from the soil around mid-March when Japanese plum trees are in their flowering period. The adults deposit one (rarely two) egg(s) under the epidermis layer of the calyx. After hatching, the larva soon burrows into the fruitlet, consumes the endocarp and remains inside the fruit within its four-time moulting transitions before reaching full growth. At maturity (in May), the larva leaves the infested fruitlet through an exit hole and burrows into the soil at a depth of 2 - 11 cm for spinning its cocoon and hibernates until the next spring as the larval form. Under laboratory conditions (T = 20℃; RH = 40 - 60%), the male lived for a slightly shorter period than the female, 6.03 ± 0.40 and 7.55 ± 0.45 days, respectively. A female could produce 30.29 ± 4.50 eggs in her lifespan. In the field, the duration of the egg was approximately 10 - 11 days and that of the larva was approximately 31 - 34 days.

  • This Experiment was conducted to determine the effects of light shield materials when melon grown inside a plastic greenhouse in summer season. The average temperatures were 36.6℃, 34.5℃ and 34.0℃ respectively for the control(non-shield), coating agent, and the white net. The light transmittances were 69% and 75%, respectively inside the greenhouse treated with the coating agent and white net immediately after applicants, compared with that inside the control greenhouse. At the 40 and 80 days after treatment, the light transmittances for the coating agent were 92% and 98%, respectively, indicating it was slowly decomposed and removed, but there was no change in the transmittance for the white net. While the leaf number did not differ among the treatments, the plant height was higher in the white net and shading agent than in control. The weight of the leaves, fresh-weight and dry-weight were no different from that of shading, but it became heavier in the later stages. The marketable fruit yield was increased by 6% for white nets and 5% for the coating agent compared to control, there was no statistical significance. Therefore, coating agent is considered as an effective method to lower temperature during high temperature period, but it is preferable to use it in consideration of cultivation period, because the coating agent is gradually removed.

  • The apple rootstock M.26 (Malus pumila) is very popular apple rootstock with semi-dwarf habit and the trees on M.26 produce high quality fruit at a young age. Since it is prone to poor prop ability to soil, however, young trees require staking in windy locations. The rolC gene was introduced into M.26 by Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 harboring pBI121 to obtain its transformants with dwarfism and enhanced rooting ability. One regenerated transgenic line was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis and Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA for the existence of rolC gene. The characteristics of transgenic line in vitro were not significantly different from non-transgenic line except for the active root formation and lateral root number. The rolC transgenic line showed reduced stem length and increased root number in vitro. Rooting ability was examined in the isolated greenhouse after mound layering. Compared to non-transgenic M.26, rolC transgenic line showed significantly higher rooting ability. The transgenic line did not show any other observable variation in shoot phenotype compared with non-transgenic line excepting increased branching

  • Fruits of 10 cultivars ('Blue Gold', 'Brigitta', 'Coville', 'Duke', 'Nelson', 'North Blue', 'Rancocas', 'Sierra', Sunrise, and 'Weymouth') of blueberries (Vaccinum corymbosun) were analyzed for characteristics, contents of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids and antioxidant activity in this study. Fruit weights ranged from 0.83 to 1.88 g. Total soluble solids concentration varied from 9.7 in 'Duke' to $16.6^{\circ}Brix$ in 'Sierra' with titratable acidities of 0.94 % in 'Sunrise' and 1.75% in 'Brigitta'. There are relatively high contents in 'North Blue' ($23.75mg\;GAE{\cdot}g^{-1}\;FW$) and low contents in 'Coville' ($17.15mg\;GAE{\cdot}g^{-1}\;FW$) in total phenolic compounds. Contents of total phenolic compounds were high in 'Nelson'($14.1mg\;QE{\cdot}g^{-1}\;FW$) and low in 'Duke' ($10.1mg\;QE{\cdot}g^{-1}\;FW$). Analysis of antioxidant activity of blueberry fruits showed that there were high acitiviites of ABTS+ radical scavenging in 'Rancoccas' (82.2%), 'Bluegold' (79.6%), and 'Nelson' (77.8%), and high activities of DPPH radical scavenging in 'Rancocca' (76.0%), and high in hydroxy radical scavenging in 'Nelson' (73.0%). Quantification analysis method of qualitative data showed that 'Bluegold', 'Nelson', 'Northblue', and 'Rancocas' had high contents of phenol and flavonoid compounds, and activity antioxidants of berries. Blueberry cultivars selected by statistical quantification analysis can be utilized as valuable genetic resources for breeding of blueberry with high antioxidant activities in the future.

  • 'Geumhyang2ho', a new brown and labor-saving variety of Flammulina velutipes, was bred by spontaneous crossing between 'Geumhyang' and 'Garlmoe' during demonstration cultivation in bag culture farm of oyster mushroom in 2013. During bottle cultivation, the temperature was maintained at $16^{\circ}C$; the variety displayed good quality compared to the control ('Geumhyang'), without necessitating vinyl cone treatment. The time periods necessary for mycelial growth, fruit body growth, and primordia formation were 24 days, 11 days, and 8 days, respectively. The total cultivation period was 43 days, which was 2 days longer than that of the control. The pileus diameter was smaller, but the pileus thickness and stipe diameter were greater than those of the control. The pileus color was yellowish ivory, which was very similar to that of the control. The yield of 'Geumhyang2ho' was 118 g per 850 ml bottle, which was markedly lower than that for bottle cultivation with vinyl cone treatment. However, its good quality suggests the potential of the labor-saving bottle-based cultivation of 'Geumhyang2ho' without vinyl cone treatment in oyster mushroom farms.

  • To improve the productivity of shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes), seven different types of media for liquid spawn (denoted as "A" to "G") were prepared with 0.3% soybean meal and varying sugar and glucose concentrations. During 14 days of incubation, the pH of the liquid culture gradually acidified with increasing incubation period. Additionally, there was a significant, but not prominent, difference in the degree of acidification depending on the sugar to glucose ratio. Liquid spawn culture "G," which had the highest sugar content was the most acidic on the last day of incubation. Mycelium dry weight increased significantly with increasing incubation period, and there was no significant difference in mycelium dry weight irrespective of the sugar to glucose ratio even after 14 days of culture. The inoculation of liquid spawn in sawdust medium with an inoculation volume ${\geq}45mL$ and incubation period of 15 to 18 days were the optimal culture conditions. Productivity of fruit bodies in sawdust medium and mushrooms treated with liquid spawn was significantly higher compared to solid spawn treatment. The mushrooms treated with liquid spawn had better chewiness, and the free amino acid content, which is associated with savory taste, was higher in these mushrooms compared to those treated with solid spawn.

  • This study aimed to optimize total nitrogen (TN) content in the medium and the growth temperature to improve the shelf life of Pleurotus eryngii Keneutari No. 2. We investigated the growth characteristics and changes in the O2/CO2 content in polypropylene film and performed sensory evaluations during cold storage under 1.5%, 1.8%, 2.1%, and 2.4% TN and at temperatures of 9℃, 12℃, and 15℃. The diameter and weight of the fruit bodies tended to increase with increasing nitrogen content, regardless of the growth temperature, and the highest weight per bottle (149.5 g) was obtained at 12℃ and 2.4% TN. Regardless of the nitrogen content, leaf color deepened with decreasing temperature. The gas concentration in the film, which changes depending on storage time, was maintained for the longest period at 9℃ and 2.1% TN. The sensory evaluation revealed no difference between the different nitrogen conditions tested, and the odor, discoloration, and decay were similar at 15℃ and 9℃ until day 28 of storage.
