Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was occurred at 8 areas including Naju, Suncheon, Younggwang, Youngam, and Shinan in Jeonnam province and the crops of Younggwang were severely damaged by TSWV. The hot pepper (Capsicum annuum), bell pepper (Capsicum annuum v ar. angulosum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) in greenhouse and hot pepper in open field were infected by TSWV. Especially, hot pepper was severely damaged by TSWV infection. The survey data indicated that 1.1-30% in the nursery field at Naju, Suncheon, and Jangheung were infected by TSWV. Plants were infected by TSWV from early June to August. However, TSWV-infected seedlings from nursery fields showed the disease symptoms from May after transplanting. In pepper greenhouses, Frankliniella occidentalis was more dominant insect vector than Frankliniella intonsa. But in open field, the population of insect vector was opposed to greenhouse. In addition, the removal of weeds was able to delay the incidence of TSWV via side-window of greenhouse in Winter. Taken together, the control of weed and insect vector nearby side-window of greenhouse is important to prevent TSWV infection of plants.

Five pepper-infecting potyviruses, Pepper mottle virus (PepMoV), Chilli veinal mottle virus (CVMV), Pepper veinal mottle virus (PVMV), Pepper severe mosaic virus (PSMV) and Tobacco each virus (TEV), are known filamentous virus and can be infected pepper crops systemically. To understand pathology and genome information of the five viruses on pepper plants, host reactions and sequences were compared to the 5 viruses. Five potyviruses were inoculated onto some typical cultivars of hot peppers and compared their symptoms, and virus accumulations. A set of degenerate primers for potyviruses were applied to 5 viruses and RT-PCR was performed. RT-PCR products containing partial nuclear inclusion b and coat protein (CP) genes were cloned. Then, oligo dT primer and species-specific primer were redesigned to amplify the C-terminal part of CP and 3' noncoding regions of each viruses. Sequences of the viruses were analyzed and compared to serological relationships among the viruses. The data can be useful for screening of potyviruses in pepper plants and pathogen-derived transgenic pepper plant development.

The effects of the amount of red pepper intake per a day on the capsaicin threshold, nutrient intake, and anthropo-metric measurements were investigated in 100 female students of university. Three 24-hour recalls were performed to estimate usual nutrient and red pepper intake of free-living participants. The solutions containing capsaicin at concentration of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5ppm used for the evaluation of hot-taste detection threshold. Subjects were asked to recognize the burning sensation after tasting l0ml of each test solution in ascending order of capsaicin concentrations. Mean intake of red pepper was 4.6 g/d and the capsaicin threshold was 0.27 ppm. The detection threshold for capsaicin was correlated with the amount of pepper intake per a day. Red pepper intake was correlated with energy, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, Iron, vitamin A, vitamin B$_2$ niacin, and vitamin E intakes. However, it was not correlated with intake of calcium, vitamin B$_1$ or vitamin C. The red pepper intake was negatively correlated with fat mass and waist girth and the capsaicin threshold was also negatively correlated with pulse. In conclusion, red pepper intake was associated with nutrient intake and capsaicin threshold whereas it was negatively correlated with fat mass and waist girth.

Physicochemical characteristics of Kochujang based on hot-air dried the red pepper powders with different treatments, were investigated during 90 days fermentation to obtain information for the industrial production of Kochujang. The pH was decreased gradually during fermentation, and pH of the control Kochujang was consistently higher than those of others. The total acidity was increased linearly during fermentation, and Kochujang with 0.1% vitamin C was consistently higher than others. Reducing sugar contents of Kochujang was increased until 75 days but was decreased slightly thereafter, showing highest value for the control sample. Amino nitrogen contents was increased gradually until 75 days, showing highest value for Kochujang with mash-dried red pepper powder, but it was decreased remarkably thereafter The L and a values of Kochujang were increased, whereas b value was decreased during fermentation. L, and b values of Kochujang with mash-dried red pepper powder were higher than those of others, showing the more light and deep color than others. Appearance, taste and overall acceptability of Kochujang based on mash-dried red pepper powder were higher than others.

To improve the soil condition for no-tillage organic pepper cultivation, four different green manure crops were cultivated. Fertilizer supply was depended on the biomass of the cultivated green manure crops, nitrogen supplies were 314kg in Vicia villosa and 341kg $ha^{-1}$ in Vicia angustifolia. In the microbial community analyzed by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) method, soil microbe populations were different among the green manure crops and fungi group was increased at Vicia angustifloia and Vicia villosa. The biological ratio indexes of fatty acids in the soils, the ratio of Gram-negative to Gram-positive bacterial PLFA and Ratio of aerobes to anaerobes were high at Vicia hirsute and Vicia tetrasperma suggesting the enrich of the aerobic conditions. The ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids increased at Vicia angustifloia and Vicia villosa suggesting anaerobic conditions. Abundant biomass and uncomposted organic matter, the ratio of fungi to bacteria was increased at Vicia angustifloia and Vicia villosa.

The effects of aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) or fumaric acid treatment on the reduction of microbial populations in hot pepper, ginger, and carrot, were investigated. Hot pepper, ginger, and carrot were treated with 5, 10, or 50 ppm of $ClO_2$, or 0.1, 0.3, or 0.5%(v/v) fumaric acid solution for 5 min. Aqueous $ClO_2$ or fumaric acid treatment significantly decreased the populations of both total aerobic bacteria, and yeasts and molds. In particular, 50 ppm $ClO_2$ treatment of hot pepper reduced total aerobic bacteria and yeast and mold levels, by 1.52 and 1.81 log CFU/g, respectively, whereas 0.5% (v/v) fumaric acid treatment eliminated all aerobic bacteria and all yeasts and molds. In addition, 50 ppm $ClO_2$ treatment of ginger reduced the populations of total aerobic bacteria, and yeasts and molds, by 0.53 and 0.92 log CFU/g, respectively, and 0.5% (v/v) fumaric acid treatment also decreased total aerobic bacteria, and yeast and mold levels, by 1.44 and 1.28 log CFU/g, respectively. With carrots, 50 ppm $ClO_2$ treatment decreased total aerobic bacteria, and yeasts and molds, by 1.76 and 2.22 log CFU/g, whereas 0.5% (v/v) fumaric acid treatment reduced the levels of these microorganisms by 1.94 and 1.73 log CFU/g, respectively. These results indicate that aqueous $ClO_2$ or fumaric acid treatment is useful for reducing microbial populations in hot peppers, ginger, and carrots.

Green peppers were dried using maltodextrin and recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents, and the quality of dried green pepper powders was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples in terms of moisture content, color, antioxidant activity, capsaicinoid level, and sensory acceptability. The moisture content of maltodextrin-treatedgreen pepper powder was higher than that of samples prepared using recycled dehydration liquid. The lightness (L) value rose with increasing concentrations of maltodextrin powder or liquid. The antioxidant activities of pepper powders prepared using the molecular press dehydration method were similar to that of alpha-tocopherol, and better than that offreeze-dried or hot air-dried samples. Capsaicinoid levels fell with increasing concentrations of maltodextrin powder and liquid. The sensory evaluation data on green pepper powders prepared using the molecular press dehydration method were better than those obtained when freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples were evaluated. These results indicate that drying of green pepper powders using maltodextrin and recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents is very efficient.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of low temperature and low radiation conditions on the yield and quality of hot pepper at an early growth stage in Korea. In plastic greenhouses, low temperature, low temperature with covered shading treatments were set 17 to 42 days after transplanting. The pepper growing degree days decreased by 5.5% due to the low temperature during the treatment period. Radiation decreased by 74.7% due to the covered shading. After commencing treatments, pepper plant growth decreased with low temperature and low radiation. Analysis of the yield showed that the first harvest was delayed by low radiation. The cumulative yields of 119 days after transplanting were 1,956, 2,171, and 2,018 g/㎡ for control, low temperature, and low temperature with low radiation respectively. Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin concentrations in pepper fruit decreased with low temperature and low radiation. To investigate the photosynthetic characteristics according to the treatment, the carbon dioxide reaction curve was analyzed using the biochemical model of photosynthesis. Results showed that the maximum photosynthetic rate, V_cmax (maximum carboxylation rate), J (electric transportation rate), and TPU (triose phosphate utilization) decreased at low temperatures; the maximum photosynthetic rate, J, and g_m (dark respiration rate) were reduced by shading. These results indicate that low temperature and low radiation can retard early growth, yield, and quality, but these can also be recovered 119 days after planting. Based on the results, the yield and quality of pepper can recover from abiotic stresses with proper cultivation.
