Prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola), an invasive annual plant, poses a significant threat to the agricultural systems of many countries, including Korea. In 2020, leaf blight symptoms were observed in the prickly lettuce populations of various farms across Korea. Detailed morphological and molecular sequence analyses revealed that the disease was caused by the fungus, Curvularia intermedia. A pathogenicity test confirmed that the fungus can cause the same symptoms in healthy prickly lettuce, thereby fulfilling Koch's postulates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. intermedia causing leaf blight on L. serriola in Korea, suggesting its potential as a biocontrol agent for this weed. However, further investigations are necessary to determine its ecological impact to prevent any non-target effects.

잎상추(Lactuca sativa L.) 저장 중 재배적요인(품종 및 재배시기) 및 저장요인(저온 및 high-density polyethylene film 포장)이 저장수명 및 품질에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 생체중량 감소, 외관품위, 황화, 클로로필 및 카로티노이드 함량, 비타민 C 및 nitrate 함량을 조사하였다. 생체중량 감소 및 외관품위의 열화는 포장처리에 의해, 그리고 $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ 보다는 $0{\sim}1^{\circ}C$가 더 억제 되었다. 품종간 비교에서는 "적축면" 보다는 "청치마"에서, 그리고 재배시기별 비교에서는 가을재배 보다는 겨울재배에서 이들의 변화가 다소 지연되었다. 저장 중 잎상추의 황화현상은 카로티노이드 함량변화 보다는 주로 클로로필의 파괴 때문이었다. Vitamin C의 저장 전 함량은 "적축면" 보다는 "청치마"에서, 그리고 가을재배 보다는 겨울재배 시 많은 양을 함유하고 있었다. 저장 중 비타민 C는 저장 초기부터 전처리구에서 급격히 감소하였으나, $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$에 비해 $0{\sim}1^{\circ}C$에서 감소가 다소 지연되었다. Nitrate의 경우는 저장 전 함량은 "적축면"은 3812.6 ppm을 함유하고 있었고, "청치마"는 2856.6 ppm을 함유하고 있었다. 저장 중 nitrate 함량변화는 $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$에 비해 $0{\sim}1^{\circ}C$에서 다소 억제되었다.

Nitrate in edible vegetables is converted to nitrite by nitrate reductase(NR) and/or bacteria in intestines. Nitrite and amino, in the intestine of some animals and human, bind to form nitrosamine, which is toxic and known as carcinogen. This study was carried out to examine the effect of added chlorides and their concentrations on growth, yield and nitrate content in leaf lettuce plants in hydroponics. Seeds of lettuce cv, "Samsunjokchukmyon" were planted on April 29, and seedlings were planted on June 2, and were cultured until July 5 in 1998. KCI and CaCl₂ were used as chloride source and their concentrations were 1, 2 and 4 me/L, respectively, in the lettuce standard nutrient solution for National Horticultural Research Institute(NHRI). Completely randomized design with 3 replications was used. Nitrate content and NR activity were measured 2 and 5 weeks after planting(WAP). The obtained results were summarized as the follows : Leaf weight per plant was difference from harvest dates and treatments, but total leaf weight was not significantly different among treatments. Number of leaves was higher in KCI 2 me/L, CaCl₂1 me/L and control at 2 WAP than the others, and was higher in KCI 1 me/L, and control at 3 WAP than others, and was higher in control at 5 WAP. Total number of harvested leaves was the highest in control with 14, which followed by KCI 2 me/L and CaCl₂1 me/L. Nitrate content was decreased by addition of chloride in nutrient solution. Nitrate content in the 3rd and 9th leaves was significantly decreased. NR activity was higher in control and CaCl₂ addition treatments, while KCI addition treatments reduced NR activity. However, no direct relationship with nitrate was observed. Growth characteristics such leaf length and leaf width were not significantly influenced by chloride addition.

인공광원으로써, 단색 파장을 갖고 있는 발광다이오드(light-emitting diode; LED)는 밀폐형 식물생산시스템에서 사용될 수 있다. 가시광선의 다양한 파장범위 사이에서, 각각의 스펙트럼들은 식물의 생육과 발달에 특징적인 영향을 유도한다. 이번 연구는 단색 발광다이오드에 따른 적축면 상추('선망')와 청축면 상추('그랜드래피드 TBR')의 엽형, 생장 및 기능성 물질의 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 정상적인 환경 조건($20^{\circ}C$, 형광등 + 고압나트륨등, $130{\pm}5{\mu}mmol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 광주기 12시간)에서 18일간 자란 상추 묘를 다양한 LED 광원(청색 LED, 456nm; 녹색 LED, 518nm; 적색 LED, 654nm; 백색 LED, 456nm + 558nm)이 설치된 같은 환경 조건($20^{\circ}C$, $130{\pm}7{\mu}mmol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 광주기 12시간)의 인큐베이터에 정식하였다. 엽장, 엽폭, 엽면적, 지상부 지하부의 생체중 및 건물중, 지상부/지하부 비율, 엽록소 함량, 총 페놀 농도, 항산화도, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL) 유전자의 발현 정도를 정식 후 9일과 23일째에 측정하였다. 두 상추 품종의 엽형지수는 청색 LED와 백색 LED 처리에서 모든 기간 동안 대조구와 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 그러나 적색 LED와 녹색 LED 처리는 다른 처리보다 엽형을 길게 유도하였다. 녹색 LED 처리는 상추 생육에 부정적인 영향을 보였다. 지상부 지하부의 생체중 및 건물중, 엽면적과 같은 생육 특성의 대부분은 두 축면 상추 모두 적색 LED 처리에서 가장 높았다. 적축면의 경우 정식 후 23일째에 적색 LED 처리의 지상부 생체중은 녹색 LED 처리보다 3.8배 높았다. 반면, 상추의 엽록소, 총 페놀 농도, 항산화도는 생육과 반대의 경향을 보였다. 청색 LED 처리에서 자란 상추의 엽록소 함량, 총 페놀 농도, 항산화도는 다른 LED 처리에 비해 유의적으로 높은 값을 보였으며, PAL 유전자 또한 정식 후 9일째 청색 LED에서 가장 높은 발현 정도를 나타냈다. 따라서 이 실험을 통해서 광질은 상추의 생육, 형태 및 기능성물질의 축적에 중요한 요소로 작용한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Image processing systems have been used to measure the plant parameters such as size, shape and structure of plants. There are yet some limited applications for evaluating plant colors due to illumination conditions. This study was focused to present adaptive methods to analyze plant leaf color regardless of illumination conditions. Color patches attached on the calibration bars were selected to represent leaf colors of lettuces and to test a possibility of health monitoring of lettuces. Repeatability of assigning leaf colors to color patches was investigated by two-tailed t-test for paired comparison. It resulted that there were no differences of assignment histogram between two images of one lettuce that were acquired at different light conditions. It supported that use of the calibration bars proposed for leaf color analysis provided color constancy, which was one of the most important issues in a video color analysis. A health discrimination equation was developed to classify lettuces into one of two classes, SOUND group and POOR group, using the machine vision. The classification accuracy of the developed health discrimination equation was 80.8%, compared to farmers' decision. This study could provide a feasible method to develop a standard color chart for evaluating leaf colors of plants and plant health monitoring system using the machine vision.

This study is conducted to investigate the effects of growth characteristics (GC) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (DRSA) of the heading lettuce 'Fidel' depending on four concentrations of activated mineral groups (AMG: 1.6% active minerals and 0.03% CaO) added to basic nutrient solutions (diluted by 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2%) and on four different light-emitting diodes (LED; B:R:W ratio = 0:1:12, 0:1:9, 0:5:5, and 2:3:5). Both 0.1 and 0.2% AMG showed better GC of lettuce in plant width, plant length, leaf width, leaf length, and the number of leaves than those of other AMG, while leaf thickness and chlorophyll value did not show significant difference among all AMG. Moreover, 0.1 and 0.2% AMG showed heavier shoot fresh weights than those of other AMG. As for the combinations of AMG and LED, B0:R5:W5 showed the best lettuce GC regardless of AMG compared to other AMG and LED combinations. As shown in the above results of LED, although there was a difference in lettuce growth by LED, the differences of lettuce growth by AMG were statistically significant. The DRSA was the highest at 82.8% in B2:R3:W5, followed by B0:R5:W5 at 77.8%. LED showed differences but AMG did not affect DRSA. Therefore, the optimal conditions in plant factory for GC and DRSA of the lettuce were 0.1% AMG and B0:R5:W5.

상추의 양액재배 별 생육과 수확 후 저장 특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. '청치마' 상추를 이용하여, 무동력 수경재배 장치를 이용한 피트모스 배지경과 순수 담액 수경 재배의 생육을 비교하였고, 수확 후 상추의 생체중량변화, SPAD, 외관 등의 저장 특성을 검토하였다. 상추는 무동력수경재배의 배지경과 담액수경 재배 방법 간에 생육 후의 초장을 제외한 생체중, 엽수, SPAD, 수분함량, C/N율에서 차이가 없었다. 상추 재배 시 무동력 수경재배 방식을 통한 양액재배는 기존의 담액수경재배와 비교하여 생육에 무리가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 양액재배 방법에 따른 상추를 수확 후 저장 중 생체중량 감소나 외관 지수가 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 다만 엽록소 함량과 관계 있는 SPAD에서 저장기간이 지속됨에 따라 배지경 재배가 다소 높은 것으로 나타났다. 상추와 같은 작물이 재배적 이상이 없는 호조건에서 재배되는 경우, 수확 전 재배 방법에 따라서 수확 후 저장에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판단된다.

The protective effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the antioxidant system under paraquat(PQ) stress was investigated in leaves of 8-week-old lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) plants. PQ stress caused a decrease of leaf growth including leaf length, width and weight. Application of NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), significantly alleviated PQ stress induced growth suppression. SNP permitted the survival of more green leaf tissue preventing chlorophyll content reduction and of higher quantum yield for photosystem II than in non-treated controls under PQ exposure, suggesting that NO has protective effect on chloroplast membrane in lettuce leaves. Flavonoids and anthocyanin were significantly accumulated in the leaves upon PQ exposure. However, the rapid increase of these compounds was alleviated in the SNP treated leaves. PQ treatment resulted in lipid peroxidation and induced accumulation of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) in the leaves, while SNP prevented PQ induced increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and $H_2O_2$. These results demonstrate that SNP serves as an antioxidant agent able to scavenge $H_2O_2$ to protect plant cells from oxidative damage. The activities of two antioxidant enzymes that scavenge reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in lettuce leaves in the presence of NO donor under PQ stress were higher than those under PQ stress alone. Application of 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO), a specific NO scavenger, to the lettuce leaves arrested SNP mediated protective effect on leaf growth, photosynthetic pigment and antioxidant systems. However, PTIO had little effect on lettuce leaves under PQ stress compared with that of PQ stress alone. The obtained data suggest that the damage caused by PQ stress is in part due to increased generation of active oxygen by maintaining increased antioxidant enzyme activities and SNP protects plants from oxidative stress. From these results it is suggested that NO might act as a signal in activating active oxygen scavenging system that protects plants from oxidative damage induced by PQ stress and thus confer PQ tolerance.

Inflorescence, stem, and leaf samples of lettuce grown in a greenhouse in spring and autumn seasons were assayed for sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) content by high performance liquid chromatography. The concentrations of SLs were significantly higher in the inflorescences followed by upper leaf and stem compared to the other plant parts in most of the samples. SLs content (sum of lactucin and lactucopicrin) in various tissues of lettuce cultivated in spring season varied from 5.7 to 22.5 fold ranging from $27.4{\mu}g/g$ dry weight (DW) in the upper stem (cultivar "PI 176588") as the lowest to as high as $2,292.0{\mu}g/g$ DW in the inflorescence (cultivar "709849-1"). During autumn cultivation, the concentration of SLs varied from 2.0 to 14.4 fold ranging from as low of $32.4{\mu}g/g$ DW in the lower stem (cultivar "PI176588") to as high of $838.0{\mu}g/g$ DW in the upper leaf (cultivar "Dambaesangchu"). Higher lactucin (1.2 to 5.6 fold) and lactucopicrin (1.1 to 3.9 fold) concentration was observed during spring compared to autumn cultivation in most of the samples. SLs content in various organs of lettuce increases from the basal plant part going upwards. As lactucin and lactucopicrin are the major SLs which affects the sensory property of lettuce, their quantitative variation in the lettuce cultivars is useful for breeding new varieties with better consumer acceptance.

The amount of food waste generated in Republic of Korea has been increasing alongside an increasing population and booming economy as such, research on effective treatment and recycling is required. Food waste recycling is complicated by its inferior characteristics such as high levels of water and concern that its continuous application to farmland can lead to salt accumulation and concomitant damage crops. In the present study, therefore, dehydrated food waste powder (FWP), which contains a large amount of organic matter and nutrients, but which may require additional improvements was mixed in various ratios with organic fertilizers and the mixtures were tested for their effects on the growth of the leaf lettuce. A control was set up with inorganic fertilizers alone while a treatment with only FWP was also included. The mixture of FWP and organic fertilizers produced better leaf lettuce growth in all the treatments than the control and FWP. The fresh weight of the leaf lettuce produced with a mixture containing 60% FWP was 50% higher than that of the control. The results from this study indicate, therefore, that FWP mixed with other organic supplements in appropriate amounts positively impacts crop growth and development.
