The objective of this study is to investigate the optimal condition for macerating enzymatic extraction process that leads to the highest yield and the largest extracted amount of bio-active contents from Rubus coreanus Miq. fruit. The optimal extraction conditions were found as the following: The initial amount of the water added to the fruit was 20 ~ 30% by weight. The mixing ratio used for the macerating enzyme was 4 : 1 : 2 (w : w : w) for cellulase:pectinase:amylogucosidase, and the amount of the macerating enzyme added was 2% by weight. The extraction process was done at a temperature of $45{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours. The extraction yields on Rubus coreanus Miq. fruit by macerating enzymatic extraction process was increased by 84.3% compared to that of hot-water extraction process. The amounts of organic acids and vitamin found in the extract were also higher. The amount of polyphenol and anthocyanin contents in the extract were 185% and 257% of those from hot-water extraction, respectively. These results suggest that macerating enzymatic extraction is an effective method to boost extraction yield and to increase the amount of extraction of bio-active contents from Rubus coreanus Miq. fruit.

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of fruit setting order by flower cluster on the fruit weight and the soluble solids content for the strawberry of 'Seolhyang' cultivar. The first flower cluster had higher fruit number, fruit weight, soluble solids content and ratio of large fruit compared to the second and third flower cluster. The fruit set on the upper position fruit in the same flower cluster had higher fruit weight and the soluble solids compared to the fruit set on the lower position fruit in the flower cluster. The fruit weight was highly positive correlated with the soluble solids content. The result indicated that the number of fruit set for marketable yield seemed to be 9-10 per the first flower cluster, 6 per the second flower cluster, 4 per the third flower cluster and 3 per the fourth flower cluster in 'Seolhyang' cultivar.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the level of $CO_2$ (370 and $650{\mu}mol\;mol^{-1}$) and temperature (ambient and ambient+$5^{\circ}C$) on tomato growth and fruit characteristics as affected by the application rate of N-fertilizer (68 and $204\;N\;kg\;ha^{-1}$), for the purpose of evaluating the influence of elevated $CO_2$ and temperature on tomato crop. The elevated atmospheric $CO_2$ and temperature increased the plant height and stem diameter for tomato crop, while the differences among the nitrogen(N) application rates were not significantly different. Under the elevated $CO_2$, temperature, and a higher N application rate, the biomass of aerial part increased. The fruit yield showed the same result as the biomass except for the elevated temperature. The elevated temperature made the size of fruit move toward the small, but the elevated $CO_2$ and the application of N-fertilizer were vice versa. The sugar content and pH of fruit juice were affected by nitrogen application rate, but not by the elevated $CO_2$ and temperature. These results showed that both the elevated $CO_2$ and temperature stimulated the vegetative growth of aerial parts for tomato, but each effects on the yield of fruit showed an opposite result between the elevated temperature and $CO_2$. In conclusion, the elevated $CO_2$ increased tomato yield and the ratio of large size of fruit, but the elevated temperature did not. Therefore, to secure the productivity of tomato as nowadays in future environment, it will need to develop new breeder as high temperature-tolerable tomato species or new type of cropping systems.

To study the effect of nonwoven fabric materials on growth and yield of korea melon, Medium denier nonwoven fabrics (MDNF), Polyster nonwoven fabrics (PENF) and 12 ounce nonwoven fabric (control) were used. Mean temperature at night was 13.1$^{\circ}C$ at control, 14.7$^{\circ}C$ at MDNF and 13.3$^{\circ}C$ at PENF from Feb. 6${\sim}$7, 2009. Because of higher temperature, early growth of korea melon of MDNF was better than control at 30 days after transplanting. Days required to harvesting (DRH) of control was 89, those of PENF and MDNF were 88, 78, respectively. First harvesting of MDNF was 11 days earlier than control. Harvested fruit of MDNF had higher weight, soluble solid and marketable fruit ratio than control. Yield ratio of control and PENF was 4:3:3 (early:middle:late harvesting season), but MDNF was 5:3:2. Using of MDNF provided earlier harvesting. Total yield of PENF was similar to control, 1,844kg per lOa, MDNF was increased by 9%.
