In this study. we measured the degree of browning of 3 potato culitivars harvested in Korea and compositions such as total phenols, tyrosine and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity. And we compared the extent of browning and composition factors to investigated which was related to the differences among 3 cultivars in browning. The results are as follows. 1. Among 3 culitivars, Sumi browned most after grinding and showed that browning in Sumi was preceded by significant1y shorter lag time. Namjak and Sumi were rapid to brown compared to Daejima. 2. Among 3 culitivars, Sumi contained significant1y more total phenols than did Namjak and Daejima. On the other hand, tyrosine contents by automatic analyzer of Sumi and Namjak were similar and mat of Daejima was the lowest. PPO activities were higher when catechol was used as substrate and Sumi contained more PPO than did the other culitivars. 3. When we compared me browning behavior and composition of 3 culitivars, significant correlation was obtained between browning extent and total phenols, tyrosine and PPO. For me individual cultivar, Sumi which browned much extensively showed higher correlation between browning and PPO. On the other hand, the other cultivars showed higher correlation with total phenols and tyrosine, respectively.

In 2014, abnormal brown spots were observed on Hongro apples in fields in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and during low-temperature storage. The spots were round, blight brown, and different from the symptoms of previously reported apple diseases. A fungal pathogen was isolated and cultured on potato dextrose agar, and it was morphologically similar to Fusarium decemcellulare. A pathogenicity test showed the same brown spots on both wounded and unwounded Hongro and Fuji apple cultivars. RPB1 and RPB2 sequences of F. decemcellulare KNU-GC01 matched with those of F. decemcellulare NRRL 13412 (98.3% and 97.6% similarities, respectively); both strains clustered together in the phylogenetic tree, indicating their close relationship at the species level. Therefore, F. decemcellulare is a newly reported pathogen that causes brown spots on apples in Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate the nutrient components and physicochemical properties of general ('Superior') and colored potato. Proximate composition, reducing sugar, free sugars, free amino acids, organic acids, minerals were analyzed, and Hunter color values were measured in the study. 'Rose' and 'Blue' (colored potatoes) contained high levels of reducing sugar, and total free sugar content was greatly different according to varieties. Glutamic acid, arginine and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid were detected to be the three major amino acids in colored potato, and the major organic acids of general potato were oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and citric acid. All potato contained high level of potassium, calcium and magnesium. The Hunter 'L' value was the highest in 'Jaseo'; Hunter 'a' value was high in 'Blue' and 'Jasim'; Hunter 'b' value was the highest in 'Haryoung'. Overall, colored potato had higher amount of nutrients and physicochemical properties than 'Superior'. Therefore, colored potatoes are expected to be highly valuable items for the development and applications of a functional food. In addition, these results will provide fundamental data for improving sitological value, breeding of new cultivar and promoting of roughage usage.

A new oak mushroom cultivar 'Hwadam' was bred from monokaryotic strains of 'GMLE36062' and 'LE15401'. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth of 'Hwadam' on potato dextrose agar was 25℃. The cultivation period of 'Hwadam' lasted for 129 days until the first harvest of the fruiting bodies, including 35 days for spawn run, 84 days for browning, and 10 days for development of fruiting bodies. The fruiting bodies of 'Hwadam' had a hemispherical, brighter pileus and thicker stipe than the control cultivar (Sanjo 701ho). The three-cycle yield of 'Hwadam' was 554 g, which was higher than that of control cultivar (405 g). In addition, 'Hwadam' contained 79.4 mg/g of beta-glucan and 0.93 mg GAEs/g of phenolic compounds, which was similar to that of the control cultivar but higher than that of 'L808' and 'Chujae 2ho'.

Bacterial wilt caused by the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating disease of potato crops. Harmonizing immunity to pathogens and crop yield is a balance between productive, economic, and environmental interests. In this work, the agronomic performance of two events of potato cultivar INIA Iporá expressing the Arabidopsis thaliana EFR gene (Iporá EFR 3 and Iporá EFR 12) previously selected for their high resistance to bacterial wilt was evaluated under pathogen-free conditions. During two cultivation cycles, the evaluated phenotypic characteristics were emergence, beginning of flowering, vigor, growth, leaf morphology, yield, number and size of tubers, analyzed under biosecurity standards. The phenotypic characteristics evaluated did not show differences, except in the morphology of the leaf with a more globose appearance and a shortening of the rachis in the transformation events with respect to untransformed Iporá. The Iporá EFR 3 genotype showed a ~40% yield decrease in reference to untransformed Iporá in the two trials, while Iporá EFR 12 did not differ statistically from untransformed Iporá. Iporá EFR 12 shows performance stability in the absence of the pathogen, compared to the untransformed control, positioning it as an interesting candidate for regions where the presence of the pathogen is endemic and bacterial wilt has a high economic impact.

This study evaluated the responses of 18 potato cultivars to three levels of salinity stress (electrical conductivity, EC: 1.0, 4.0, and $8.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$). Stem, leaf, root, chlorophyll, tuber yield, and proline content were investigated and statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlations. Stem number and stem diameter were not affected by salinity, but stem length and aerial weight showed highly significant responses to salinity. Aerial weight decreased with increasing salinity levels in most cultivars, while it increased in some the cultivars 'Daejima', 'Goun', 'Haryeong', and 'LT-8'. Leaf number, leaf area index, and leaf weight were most significantly affected by salinity and the cultivar ${\times}$ salinity interaction. Root length, root weight, total chlorophyll and chlorophyll a were affected by salinity, but not by the cultivar ${\times}$ salinity interaction. The opposite trend was shown in chlorophyll b. Although there was great variability among cultivars, tuber yield decreased in all cultivars, and was most significantly influenced by salinity and the cultivar ${\times}$ salinity interaction. 'Superior', 'Kroda', 'Romana', and 'Duback' gave better tuber yields under salinity at EC 4.0 and $8.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ than the cultivars with better aerial weights. Proline content was increased by salinity in all cultivars, and was more remarkable in the cultivars with better aerial weights than in cultivars such as 'Superior' and 'Kroda' with better tuber yields. Leaf number, leaf area index, leaf weight, and root length parameters were considered to be useful criteria in the evaluation of salt tolerance because of their high positive correlation with tuber yield; however, given its negative correlation with tuber yield under high salinity, proline content was not. Salinity tolerances varied greatly among potato cultivars. The low correlation between growth and yields of aerial parts under high salinity suggests that, in commercial agriculture, it might be more practical to compare relative yields to controls. Additionally, 'Superior', 'Kroda', 'Romana', and 'Duback' might be very useful cultivars to use in breeding programs to develop salinity-tolerant potatoes, as well as for sustainable potato production in saline areas.

In this study, two kinds of chestnut-sweet potato (CSP) and pumpkin-sweet potato (PSP) were cooked by three methods: raw, steaming, and roasting. These samples were investigated in food compositions such as moisture, protein, ash, dietary fiber, fat, minerals, and vitamins. As the results of this study, the moisture contents of raw CSP and raw PSP were higher than those of steamed and roasted samples in two cultivars. The contents of protein in raw CSP and raw PSP were 2.57 g/100 g and 3.22 g/100 g, respectively, which were higher than those of other cultivars. The protein contents of roasted CSP and steamed PSP were lower than those of their raw samples. The potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and iron values of PSP were 1,048.46 mg/100g, 152.02 mg/100g, 74.70 mg/100g, 57.22 mg/100g, 22.28 mg/100g, and 1.44 mg/100g, respectively, which were the highest values in tested sweet potato cultivars. The content of dietary fiber in CSP was higher generally than that in PSP. The values of total dietary fiber in cooked sweet potatoes were higher than those of raw sweet potatoes. The contents of vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, in PSP were higher than those in CSP. Overall, two cultivars of raw, boiled, and roasted sweet potatoes had enhanced food composition. Therefore, these sweet potato cultivars are expected to be highly valuable food items for the development and application of functional foods.

This study was carried out to discriminate potato cultivars and breeding lines by specific molecular markers using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. The genotypes of potatoes used for analysis were eight cultivars and five breeding lines. Some of those show much phenotypic resemblances among them because 'Jopung', 'Daekwan70', 'Gawon', and 'Daekwan72' have immediate parental relationship with 'Superior', 'Irish Cobbler', 'Namsuh', and 'Atlantic', respectively. So, there are many difficulties to distinguish the varieties by the morphological characteristics. Three URP primers, URP2, URP4, and URP8 were selected for promising primers to discriminate potato genotypes or cultivars. The three URP primers were shown very high reproducibility because of the relatively high annealing temperature and long primer size. Although the results of similarity analyses did not always reflect the genetic relationship between potato varieties, the reproducible pattern of amplified DNA bands by URP primers showed possibility for molecular markers for discrimination of potato genotype or cultivar.

Many potato genetic resources have been collected and improved for their diverse traits over the years using breeding program in KPGR. To select potential varieties for table and processing in Korea, 58 elite potato breeding lines and several 'Valley' varieties were cultivated and harvested at Korea Alpine area in 2001. The cultivated lines and varieties were evaluated using their cultural adaptability in the environment and tuber characteristics, such as the depth of tuber eye, tuber shape, skin color, flesh color, scab resistance, yield, and the resistance of hollow heart and internal brown spot disease. Additionally, in the selection of potential processing varieties, reducing sugar content (sum of glucose and fructose concentration) of tubers is critically considered, because it mainly influence on the chip color of processing potato tuber. For table stock varieties with white skin color, 'Early Valley', 'Summer Valley', 'Winter Valley', and 'Taebok Valley' were selected. In the aspect of diverse potato tuber color, several varieties were selected such as 'Golden Valley' for its yellow fresh and skin color, 'Gogu Valley', 'Juice Valley', and 'Rose Valley' for their red skin color, and 'Purple Valley' for its purple skin. Compared with world wide known processing cultivar 'Atlantic', 24 lines (or varieties) were selected for the potential potato processing industry due to their low reducing sugar contents (below 0.3％), high yield (above 4.0 ton/ha), and unique chip colors. Selected white chipping varieties were 'Taedong Valley', 'Kangshim Valley', and 'Kangwon Valley', which have 0.23％, 0.27％, and 0.29％ of reducing sugar contents, respectively. 'Bora Valley', having deep purple color in both skin and fresh, was selected for purple chip variety and has 0.26％ of reducing sugar content. Light yellow chip varieties (lines) were 'Rose Valley' and Valley 54, having 0.19％ and 0.269％ of reducing sugar content, respectively. For French frying potatoes, 'Stick Valley' of 0.22％ and Valley 72 of 0.151％ in reducing sugars were selected. All of these selected lines and 'Valley' varieties can be used as parents to improve potato genetic resources and to develop better varieties with unique traits and colors.
