Glucosinolates from radish (Wangkwan, Daejangkun, Taebaek, Daebooryeung and No. 364) and its seed (Wangkwan) were identified, and their degradation product by heat treatment was analyzed. The Wangkwan variety contained much more types of glucosinolates than other radish varieties. Total glucosinolate contents of Wangkwan, Daejangkun, Taebaek, Daebooryeung, No. 354 and Wangkwan seed by GC method were 1.25, 1.10, 0.97, 0.96, 0.90 and 2.14 ${\mu}mole/g$, respectively. The indoleacetonitrile contents after 20 minutes' heat treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ from Wangkwan, Daejangkun, Taebaek, Daebooryeung, No. 364 and Wangkwan seed were 0.28, 0.20, 0.23, 0.21, 0.24 and 0.58 ${\mu}mole/g$, respectively. The heat treatment increased the thiocyanate ion contents in radish and its seed, and the contents were maximum at 30 min.

Purpose: Nondestructive evaluation of seed viability is a highly demanded technique in the seed industry. In this study, hyperspectral imaging system was used for discrimination of viable and non-viable radish seeds. Method: The spectral data with the range from 400 to 1000 nm measured by hyperspectral reflectance imaging system were used. A calibration and a test models were developed by partial least square discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) for classification of viable and non-viable radish seeds. Either each data set of visible (400~750 nm) and NIR (750~1000 nm) spectra and the spectra of the combined spectral ranges were used for developing models. Results: The discrimination accuracy of calibration was 84% for visible range and 76.3% for NIR range. The discrimination accuracy of test was 84.2% for visible range and 75.8% for NIR range. The discrimination accuracies of calibration and test with full range were 92.2% and 92.5%, respectively. The resultant images based on the optimal PLS-DA model showed high performance for the discrimination of the nonviable seeds from the viable seeds with the accuracy of 95%. Conclusions: The results showed that hyperspectral reflectance imaging has good potential for discriminating nonviable radish seeds from massive amounts of viable seeds.

An endophytic bacterial strain, Arthrobacter humicola YC6002, was isolated from a surface sterilized root of Korean turf grass (Zoysia japonica) collected from Jinju, Korea. This strain showed inhibitory effect on germination and shoot growth of radish. The inhibition of germination and shoot growth of radish seeds varied depending on the age of culture and the temperature at which it was incubated. The culture filtrate of 1/10-strength Tryptic Soy Broth medium, incubated for 48 hours at $30^{\circ}C$, showed the highest inhibitory effect on radish seed germination and shoot growth (92% inhibition as compared to control). The active compound with seed germination and shoot growth inhibition was purified and identified as 3-phenylpropionic acid. The purified compound had 53% and 93% inhibitory effect on seed germination and shoot growth of radish for 500 and 1000 ppm solutions, respectively.

This study investigated the antioxidant activity of radish seed oil (RSO) and its effects on the quality and storage characteristics of pork patties. To assess the antioxidant capacity of RSO, this study analyzed fatty acid composition, peroxide value (PV), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Pork patties were manufactured with the addition of RSO-0.4%, 0.8%, 1.6%, and 2.4%-and measured in terms of proximate composition, pH, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL), color, texture profile analysis, and a sensory evaluation. Total microbial count (TMC), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and PV were measured at 1, 3, and 7 days of refrigerated storage. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of RSO was found to be 75.46%. In the cases of WHC and CL, there was no significant differences observed between RSO0.4%, RSO0.8%, and positive control (PC; p>0.05). Meanwhile, RSO2.4% showed significantly lower hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness than PC (p<0.05), and these values tended to decrease with the addition of increasing RSO. In terms of storage characteristics, with an increase in the amount of RSO added, TMC, VBN, TBARS, and PV all decreased; among the treatment groups, RSO2.4% showed the lowest values. In conclusion, RSO exhibits antioxidant activity, but when added in large amounts, it negatively affects the quality characteristics of patties while positively impacting their storage properties, thus necessitating a balanced consideration of both outcomes. Therefore, adding 1.6% RSO is considered to be the most appropriate level for formulations to be used in practice.

In order to prepare for weakening of the productivity of agriculture due to serious climate change, the researches on promoting the growth of plant are required. Although the method of using magnetic field for improving the growth of plant was introduced, the effective method of imposing the field on the plant have yet to be studied thoroughly in the literatures. In this paper, we investigated the effects of static magnetic field on the growth and the early seed germination of radish sprouts according to the strength, direction of excitation and the expose time of the magnetic field, and present the effective method of imposing magnetic fields. From the measurements, it was found that the radish sprouts exposed in the field shows a rapid germination of about 3~4 days than those which had no field, and in order to the effective growth, the strength of the magnetic field should be properly selected, and the excitation direction of magnetic field has little effect on the radish sprouts growth.

The effect of calcium cyanamide (China-made) soil fumigation on the growth of the ginseng pathogen Rhizoctonia, Pythium), soil microbes, and seed germination of lettuce and radish was investigated. At twice the recommended level (2S0-ppm $CaCN_2$), the growth of Rhizoctonia and Pythium, and the seed germination, were not inhibited. Rather, the effective level was 10,000 ppm. The powder form was more effective than the granular form in inhibiting pathogen growth and seed germination. The lettuce seed was also more sensitive than the radish seed. Calcium cyanamide appearedto decrease the fungi population and to increase Actinomycetes in the soil.

Experiments were conducted to obtain information on separation of nonviable seeds from seed lots of rape, Chinese cabbage and radish, by nondestrutive ways. Seeds were artificially aged at 90% relative humidity(RH) and 45$^{\circ}C$ to get different seed qualities. Large amounts of amino acids, proteins and sinapine were leaked from the dead seeds into water in the course of 4~8 hours soaking, while high quality seeds did not leak in all crops. Percentage of normal seedlings from nonfluorescent cellulose coated seeds of rape, Chinese cabbage and radish under ultraviolet light was 96, 96 and 74%, while that of fluorescent seeds was 8, 9 and 1%, respectively. Cellulose coating and storage of Chinese cabbage and rape seeds at 60 and 75% RH for 3 months and 90% RH for 2 months did not deteriorate seed quality. But percentage of normal seedlings from nonfluorescent radish seeds stored at 60, 75 and 90% RHs for 3 months was 63, 64 and 2%, respectively.

The objectives of this research are to survey the utilization types of radish and its adapted cultivars and to investigate the desirable traits in Japan. Many types of radish cultivars which hold diversified characteristics have been released according to the cropping type. Qualities and shape demanded in Japan was very different from Korean type radish cultivars. To meet the rapid require ment of our radish seed in Japan, we have to take the following measurements urgently: (1) to breed higher quality cultivars adapted for the utility of radish, (2) to secure various genetic resources of radish and (3) to develop cultivars resitant to specific pests and pathogens.

Purpose: This study was carried out to predict the growth period and fresh weight of sprouts grown in a cultivator designed to grow sprouts under optimal conditions. Methods: The temperature, light intensity, and amount of irrigation were controlled, and images of seed sprouts were acquired to predict the days of growth and weight from pixel counts of leaf area. Broccoli, clover, and radish sprouts were selected, and each sprout was cultivated in a 90-mm-diameter Petri dish under the same cultivating conditions. An image of each sprout was taken every 24 hours from the 4th day, and the whole cultivating period was 6 days, including 3 days in the dark. Images were processed by histogram inspection, binary images, image erosion, image dilation, and the overlay image process. The RGB range and ratio of leaves were adjusted to calculate the pixel counts for leaf area. Results: The correlation coefficients between the pixel count of leaf area and the growth period of sprouts were 0.91, 0.98, and 0.97 for broccoli, clover, and radish, respectively. Further, the correlation coefficients between the pixel count of leaf area and fresh weight were 0.90 for broccoli, 0.87 for clover, and 0.95 for radish. Conclusions: On the basis of these results, we suggest that the simple image acquisition system and processing algorithm can feasibly estimate the growth period and fresh weight of seed sprouts.
