Pak choi (or a Bok choy; Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis) is a popular brassicaceous vegetable worldwide. In January 2019, a downy mildew symptom on pak choi was found at a farm located in Yongin, Korea. Based on morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic inference, the pathogenic oomycete was identified as Hyaloperonospora brassicae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of downy mildew disease occurring on pak choi in Korea. Considering the increasing demand for this crop, this pathogen would be a potentially new threat to the cultivation of pak choi in Korea.

Clubroot symptoms occurred severely on roots of Pak-Choi (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis) grown in greenhouses in Gwangju city, Gyeonggi province, Korea in September, 2008. The incidence of the disease symptoms reached as high as 90% in three greenhouses investigated. The root galls collected from the greenhouses were sectioned using a scalpel and observed by light microscope. Many resting spores were found in the cells of the root gall tissues. Suspension of resting spores was prepared from the root galls and inoculated to roots of healthy Pak-Choi plants. Each of five resting spore suspensions caused clubroot symptoms on the roots, which were similar to those observed during the greenhouse survey. Resting spores of the pathogen were observed in the cells of the affected roots. The clubroot pathogen was identified as Plasmodiophora brassicae based on its morphological and pathological characteristics. This is the first report that Plasmodiophora brassicae causes clubroot of Pak-Choi.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the midbrain, which results in decreased dopamine levels accompanied by movement symptoms. Oral administration of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa), the precursor of dopamine, provides initial symptomatic relief, but abnormal involuntary movements develop later. A deeper understanding of the regulatory mechanisms underlying dopamine homeostasis is thus critically needed for the development of a successful treatment. Here, we show that p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) controls dopamine levels. Constitutively active PAK4 (caPAK4) stimulated transcription of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) via the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) transcription factor. Moreover, caPAK4 increased the catalytic activity of TH through its phosphorylation of S⁴⁰, which is essential for TH activation. Consistent with this result, in human midbrain tissues, we observed a strong correlation between phosphorylated PAK4^S474, which represents PAK4 activity, and phosphorylated TH^S40, which reflects their enzymatic activity. Our findings suggest that targeting the PAK4 signaling pathways to restore dopamine levels may provide a new therapeutic approach in PD.

종이포트 육묘를 위해 조제한 피트모스(>2.84mm 체를 통과한 비율이 80-90%)와 펄라이트(1~3mm 등급) 혼합상토(7:3, v/v)의 적정 질소 기비 수준을 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 기비로 혼합한 질소 농도를 0, 150, 250, 500 및 $750mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$으로 조절하였고, 질소를 제외한 필수원소는 모든 처리에서 동일하게 농도를 조절하였다. 혼합상토를 40-cell 트레이에 충진한 뒤 배추 '춘명봄배추'와 청경채 '하녹청경채'를 파종하였고 파종 후 각각 21일 및 20일 육묘하였다. 파종 후 매주 상토를 수집하여 토양 pH, EC 및 무기원소 농도를 분석하였고, 재배 후 지상부 생장 조사와 식물체 무기원소 함량 분석을 하였다. 생장 기간 동안 상토의 pH는 완만하게 상승하였고, EC는 파종 3주 후 급격히 낮아졌다. 수확 시기에 배추를 육묘한 상토의 pH는 5.3~5.9의 범위로, 청경채를 육묘한 상토는 4.93~5.39의 범위로 측정되었고, 청경채를 육묘한 상토의 pH가 더 낮았다. 작물의 지상부 생장은 배추와 청경채 모두 질소 $250mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구에서 우수했으며 질소 무처리구에서 생장이 가장 저조 하였다. 식물체내의 무기원소 함량 분석결과 질소 시비수준이 높을수록 식물체내 질소 함량이 증가하고, P, Ca 및 Mg 함량이 낮아졌다. 질소 시비 수준에 따른 지상부 건물중 변화에서 배추는 $y=-0.0036x^2+0.0021x+0.0635(R^2=0.9826)$, 청경채는 $y=-0.16x^2+0.0009x+0.032(R^2=0.991)$의 회귀관계가 성립하였다. 생장이 가장 우수하였던 처리구의 건물중인 배추 0.40g 및 청경채 0.16g의 90%를 우량묘 생산을 위한 최저한계로 간주할 때 각각 0.36g 및 0.144g의 건물중을 생산해야 한다. 또한 90%에 해당하는 건물중을 회귀식에 대입하여 계산하면 기비로 첨가할 질소 농도를 배추 육묘시 $196{\sim}250mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$으로, 청경채 육묘시 $187{\sim}250mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$으로 조절해야 한다고 판단하였다.

This study evaluated the impact of blanching pak choi stems and leaves in various solutions (distilled water, 2% NaCl, and 2% citric acid) at 100℃ on their quality characteristics. The highest stem heating loss was observed in the sodium chloride solution (S-NB) at 15.10% (p<0.001), and the highest leaf heating loss was in L-NB at 11.44% (p<0.001). No significant variation was found in the moisture content of both stems and leaves. Relative to the control, the L value (lightness) of the stem decreased while the b value (yellowness) increased (p<0.05). In the leaves, the a value (redness/greenness) and b value increased in L-CB, whereas they decreased in other groups (p<0.05). S-NB exhibited the highest true retention (TR) of total polyphenol content (TPC) in stems (p<0.01) and the highest TR of total flavonoid content (TFC) as well (p<0.001). For leaves, the highest TR of TPC and TFC was in L-WB (p<0.001). In terms of antioxidant activity, S-NB in stems and L-WB in leaves showed the highest scavenging activity measured by DPPH and ABTS⁺ assays (p<0.001). Microorganisms were absent in all pretreatment groups but present in the control. The results suggest that blanching pak choi stems in 2% NaCl solution and leaves in water optimally preserves biologically active compounds and nutrients.

This study investigated which nutrient solution is suitable for growth and secondary metabolite contents when three different vegetable plants are grown simultaneously in one hydroponic cultivation bed. Seeds of pak choi (Brassica compestris L. ssp chinsensis), red mustard (Brassica juncea L.), and arugula (Eruca sativa Mill.) were sown in the shape of a triangle in three places on rockwool cubes. The rockwool cubes were placed in semi deepflow technique (semi-DFT) hydroponic systems in a rooftop greenhouse after three weeks of growth as seedlings then cultivated with four different nutrient solutions, Korea Horticultural Experiment Station (KHE), Hoagland, Otsuka-A, and Yamazaki, at the rooftop greenhouse for two weeks. The leaf area of pak choi cultivated in Otsuka-A was the largest but SPAD values, leaf area, and fresh weight of arugula were highest with KHE treatment. The total glucosinolate (GSL) content of pak choi was 151.7% higher in KHE than in Hoagland, and there was no significant difference in Yamazaki and Otsuka-A treatments. The total GSL content of red mustard was 34.6 μmol·g^-1 in Hoagland, and it was 32.6% higher in Hoagland than in Yamazaki. Total GSL content of arugula was 57.5% higher in Yamazaki and Hoagland nutrients than in KHE and Otsuka-A nutrients solutions. The total GSL content of three plants grown with KHE was 40.7% higher than with Yamazaki, and the other nutrient solutions did not show significant differences. Therefore, KHE nutrient solution is considered suitable for nutrient solution composition for the cultivation of three different Brassicaceae crops in a single hydroponic cultivation system.
