To investigate the effect of simulated acid rain on the change in soil chemical properties, simulated acid rain of different pH was applied to the three soils of different texture. Simulated acid rain of pH 4.0 and 6.0 did not greatly change the soil pH, while simulated acid rain of pH 2.0 decreased greatly the soil pH. Decrease in soil pH were in the order of sandy loam > loam > clay loam, while increase in exchangeable acidity was in the order of clay loam > loam > sandy loam. Amount of nutrients leached downward due to the penetration of simulated acid rain into the soil was in the order of Ca > K > Mg. Exchangeable Al was not detected when soil acidity dropped to pH 5 and exchangeable acidity increased within a range of CEC. A total 1200mm of simulated acid rain(pH 3.0) can load $12kg\;ha^{-1}$ of $H^+$ ion, $128kg\;ha^{-1}$ of sulfur, $56kg\;ha^{-1}$ of nitrogen. The acidity of simulated acid rain pH 3.0 can be neutralized by addition of $444kg\;ha^{-1}$ of slaked lime. The amount of leached bases were equivalent to 923, 1731 and $1608kg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ in sandy loam, loam and clay loam soil respectively.

The physicochemical characteristics and acceptability of various commercial low-priced French wines were determined. A~E wines were manufactured from France and F wine was bottled in Germany using French Cabernet Sauvignon grape species. Sample wines were analyzed for pH, total soluble content, acidity, color, total sugar, total polyphenol and sulfur dioxide. The pH of the wines were ranged from 3.3 to 2.6. The total soluble contents were the highest in wine A (10.25 Brix%), followed by wine C (9.72 Brix%), wine D (9.67 Brix%) and wine B (9.61 Brix%) and were the lowest in wines E and F (9.42 Brix%). In the color analysis, wine F showed the highest L (lightness) and a (redness) value (28.11 and 23.86, respectively). The b (yellowness) value for all the samples studied ranged from 52.17 to 61.05. Wine C (62.24 g/L) and F (69.91 g/L) showed higher total sugar contents, and the total sugar contents of wines D, E, B and A were 48.58, 42.74, 37.74 and 36.99 g/L, respectively. Total polyphenol contents were the highest in wine C (2.59 g/L) and the lowest in wines A and B (1.90 g/L). The contents of sulfite in wine D (68.78 mg/L) were the highest and was the lowest in wine B (58.18 mg/L). The sensory characteristics and preference analysis (sourness, bitterness, sweetness, astringent taste, aroma, color and overall acceptability) of the red wines used in this study were determined by 15 panelists using the 7-point hedonic scale. Sourness of wines ranged between 3.8~4.9 and sweetness of wines D and F (3.0) were the highest amongst the red wines used in this study. Wines D, E and F had the higher scores in overall acceptability of sensory properties and wine E was the highest amongst the wines used in this study.

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of corn silks. Pollination of corn silks was finished within three days after silking, and elongation of open pollinated corn silks was stopped, but unpollinated silks elongated until eight days after silking. Moisture contents of corn silks were about 92-94% at silking stage, but continuously decreased. these were about 70-75% at 30 days after silking. Chlorophyll b was higher than chlorophyll a in corn silks, and chlorophyll a/b ratios of four hybrids were high in this order : silage ＞ sweet ＞ super sweet ＞ waxy corn. Free sugars in corn silks were mainly fructose, glucose and maltose. Their composition rate was 55% of glucose, 42% of fructose and 4% of maltose. Water soluble solid (Brix %) contents of unpollinated corn silks were ranged from 13.7 to 16.8 Brix % and pollinated corn silks were from 12.6 to 13.7 Brix %. Phytic, oxalic, malic. shikimic, glutaric and acetic acid were detected on corn silks. Phytic, oxalic and glutaric acid were considered as a major organic acids in corn silks. Amino acids in corn silks were high in this order : waxy ＞ silage ＞ sweet ＞sweet corn. Serine, glycine and thereoine were contained more than 10%, and five amino acids such as aspartic, glutaric, arginine, alanine and proline were ranged about 5 to 8%. Methionine and cystine, amino acids containing sulfur were contained only small quantity as about 2.1% and 1.3%, respectively. Acetaldehyde, ethanol, acetone, DMS, isobutylaldehyde, cis-3-hexanol, 3-hexe-1-ol, acetate, trans-2-hexanol and pentanol were detected as the volatile components in corn silks, but acetaldehyde and DMS were major volitiles in silage corn silks, and acetaldehyde, ethanol and DMS were major volitiles in waxy corn silks. The length of corn silks was a positively correlated with organic acids (r=${0.556}^*$), and a negatively correlated with amino acids (r=${-0.514}^*$), respectively. Free sugars were positively correlated with all characteristics tested and significantly correlated with organic acid (r=TEX>${0.703}^{**}$), and flavonoids (r=TEX>${0.544}^*$). Chlorophyll was significantly correlated with flavonoid contents (r=TEX>${0.523}^*$). For this reason chlorophyll was evaluated as an indirect selection character for the high flavonoid containing varieties.

The extractable sulfate content and sulfate adsorption capacity in soils of four Pinus densiflora stands were measured to assess the soil acidification sensitivity to acid deposition. The soluble sulfate content in organic horizon which reflects the previous deposition of sulfur oxides was much higher for Namsan and Ulsan than Kanghwa and Hongcheon. In mineral soils, however, the extractable sulfate content was the greatest for Ulsan followed by Kanghwa, Namsan and Hongcheon due to the interactive effect of previous deposition and soil adsorption of sulfate. Adsorption rates of specifically adsorbed sulfate(proportion of insoluble sulfate to total extractable sulfate) for Namsan, Kanghwa and Ulsan affected by acid deposition were 16.6%, 56.8% and 37.4%, respectively, so that the soil in Namsan had the highest acidification sensitivity to acid deposition. For sulfate adsorption isotherm($RE=mX_i-b$), the significantly positive correlations between added sulfate($X_i$) and adsorbed sulfate(RE) were found only in mineral soil(p<0.05) over all regions. The regression coefficient(m) that means soil sulfate adsorption capacity by 0-30cm depth was 0.16, 0.24, 0.25 and 0.32 in $mmol_c\;kg^{-1}$ for Namsan, Kanghwa, Ulsan and Hongcheon, respectively, indicating that soil acidification sensitivity is the highest for Namsan. The added sulfate($X_i$) that could make the adsorbed sulfate(RE) null was 3.81, 2.17, 4.96 and 0.65 in $mmol_c\;kg^{-1}$ for Namsan, Kanghwa, Ulsan and Hongcheon, respectively and the values of former three regions considerably exceeded the realistic sulfate deposition.

This study was conducted to compare the resistance and sensitivity of trees with 6 native species exposing to 4 different levels of $SO_2$gas(0.4, 0.7, 1.5 and 3.0 ppm) respectively. The results are summarized as follows : 1. Visible injuries appeared as spots in the region of intervein on the leaves for all the species and the color of the spots changed from light green and/or brown to light brown, dark brown, and/or redish brown. 2. The sensitivity of the species to $SO_2$ was high in the descending order of Zizyphus jujuba, Cataegus pinnatifida, Viburnum sargentii, Weigela subsessilis, Euonymus japonica, and Acer ginnala. 3. The resistance of the species to $SO_2$ was high in the descending order of Acer ginnala, Eunymus japonica Viburnum sargentii, Weigela subsessilis, Zizyphus jujuba, and Crataegus pinnatifida. 4. When the trees were exposed to $SO_2$gas, the contents of chlorophyll a, b, and a+b were consostently lower than those of control, and water soluble sulfur contents in the leaves were higher than those of control. 5. There was no significant correlation between stomatal resistance and the sensitivity(or resistance) of the trees exposed to $SO_2$ gas. 6. In this study, it was concluded that Acer ginnala was more suitable species than the others for landscape in air polluted area because it showed high resistance, low sensitivity, and low stromal resistance to $SO_2$gas exposure.

The effect of $SO_2$ treated pads (Sodium metabisulphate 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 g/kg) on the quality of dried persimmons and dried persimmons slices were investigated. The $SO_2$ treated pads did not affect to weight, moisture loss rate, and soluble solid contents of dried persimmons and dried persimmons slices. The color change (${\Delta}E$) of dried persimmons and dried persimmons slices after storage for 8 weeks were the highest (value=6.0, 6.2) in control, whereas that was the lowest (value=4.8, 4.7) under $SO_2$ pad 2.0 g/kg condition, respectively. When we measured the browning degree of dried persimmons, they showed O.D. 0.65, 0.57, 0.29, and 0.18 in serial dilution treated pads with $SO_2$ pad 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g/kg. The browning degree data from aforementioned dried persimmons after 8 weeks was similar to that from dried persimmons slices. The decay rate of dried persimmons and dried persimmons slices after storage for 8 weeks were the highest (value=33.3%, 36.7%) in control, whereas that was the lowest (value=3.3%, 6.7%) under $SO_2$ pad 2.0 g/kg condition, respectively. The concentration of residual $SO_2$ in dried persimmons and dried persimmons slices were detected within a safe range of 15.3~30.0 ppm. Therefore, the shelf-life of dried persimmons and dried persimmons slices were lengthened in $SO_2$ treated pads (especially in $SO_2$ pad 2.0 g/kg) for inhibiting of browning and decay.

Exogenous factor and nutrients affecting for conidial germination of Colletetrichum dematium f. sp. capsicum causing red pepper anthracnose were studied by slide germination test. Optimum temperature of conidial germination was at $28^{\circ}C$, ranging 15 to $35^{\circ}C$. Optimum pH was at 5.5, ranging 4.5 to 8.0, and more than 90% of relative humidity (RH) was optimum. Poor conidial germination of the fungus was observed on sterile distilled water, but potato sucrose broth (PSB), red pepper fruit broth (RPFB), green pepper fruit broth (GPFB) and pepper leaf broth (PLB) furnished a satisfactory nutrients for conidial germination. Exogenous supply of carbon and nitrogen sources were essential for conidial germination, while potassium, phosphorous and sulfur were not evident as that for carbon and nitrogen. Soluble starch was the most suitable as a carbon source for conidial germination and followed by D-glucose, D-galactose and lactose in that order. Maximum germination was attained in the $1{\times}10^4$ conidia per ml. Germination was decreased with increment of conidial concentration, and in the density of $5{\times}10^4$ conida per ml, germination was nearly supipressed. It suggested existing a self-inhibitor. Non-washed conidia germinated more than washed conidia, and conidial germination was also gradually decreased by increasing conidial density.
