Characteristics of major suing Chinese cabbage cultivars in Korea, Norangbom(Nor), Gonaenggiyeurum(Gon), Maereuk (Mae) and Housekumgarak (Hou), and their qualities of Kimchies were investigated. Mean weight of the cabbages was in the range of 1.39∼2.40 kg, and was higher Gon, Mae, Nor, Hou in order. Leaves number was Gon 45, Nor 56, Mae 59 and Hou 56 pieces. Sensory taste of raw Chinese cabbage was best in Nor. Decreasing rate of gumminess and chewiness by salting was the highest in Gon and the lowest in Nor. fermentation of Gon and Nor-Kimchi were faster than Mae and Hou-Kimchi. Amount of gas formation during fermentation was the highest in Mae-Kimchi and lowest in Nor-Kimchi. Decreasing rate of AIS was the fastest in Mae-Kimchi and the latest in Hou-Kimchi. Hardness and gumminess of Kimchi fermented for 21 days were to be ordered Mae-Kimchi, Hou-kimchi, Gon-Kimchi and Nor-Kimchi. Overall acceptability by the sensory test was good in Nor- and Hou-Kimchi.

In order to compare Kimchi fermentability of Chinese cabbage cultivars, five cultivars grown in Korea were fermented in 3% NaCl. The measurements were done for both the fermenting properties: bacterial growth, $CO_2$ generation, acid production, dissolved oxygen, pH changes in the fermenting broth and extractable sugars form the cabbage tissue and salt solution, respectively. The measured values were scorized to evaluate the cultivar's fitness to Kimchi processing. The most rapid cultivar is Naeseu Baekno and the lowest one is Mussang.

This experiment investigated the characteristics of salted and fresh Chinese cabbages of different cultivars and using various cultivation methods. We measured the numbers of leaves, sizes, thicknesses, moisture contents, and firmness qualities of fresh Chinese cabbage grown in a plastic house, and outdoors. 'The bulb sizes, leaf thicknesses, and moisture contents of leaves were higher after plastic house cultivation than after growth in the field. Plastic house culture increased the growth rate of Chinese cabbage. Firmness and osmolarity showed better values after outdoor cultivation, however. The growth rates and the levels of chemical components were affected by interactions between cultivation methods and cultivars of Chinese cabbage. The salt levels of salted Chinese cabbage were 1.21.7% (w/w) after cabbages cultivated outdoors were preserved, and 0.91.2 % (w/w) after vegetables grown in a plastic house were treated. The quality properties of postharvest Chinese cabbages after salting varied with cultivation method even when the same cultivars of Chinese cabbage were used. The salt contents of salted Chinese cabbage thus varied with different cultivation methods. The results indicate that the properties of Chinese cabbage vary with the culture systems adapted.

Four different Chinese cabbage cultivars were compared for their physicochemical quality characteristics including crude fiber, chlorophyll, firmness, hardness, sugar, and flavor at different parts of the cabbages. No significant difference in crude fiber content was observed among cultivars. Chlorophyll content in midrib was not significantly different among cultivars, however Chlorophyll content in leaf of 'Golden House' and 'Golden Spring' were greater than that of 'Alpine Summer' Firmness was the highest in 'Golden House' and 'Golden Spring' but hardness was not significantly different among cultivars. Sugar content was higher in midrib than in leaf. 'Golden Spring' a showed the highest sugar content in midrib. Glucose content was higher than the fructose content in leaf, but was opposite in midrib. Sensory evaluation showed that 'Golden House' and 'Golden Spring' were the best in yellowness, and 'Golden House' and 'Alpine Summer' were the best for their taste and aroma in midrib, however, no significant difference in texture was observed among cultivars.

Two rhizobacteria Bacillus aryabhattai H26-2 and B. siamensis H30-3 were evaluated whether they are involved in stress tolerance against drought and high temperature as well as fungal infections in Chinese cabbage plants. Chinese cabbage seedlings cv. Ryeokgwang (spring cultivar) has shown better growth compared to cv. Buram-3-ho (autumn cultivar) under high temperature conditions in a greenhouse, whilst there was no difference in drought stress tolerance of the two cultivars. In vitro growth of B. aryabhattai H26-2 and B. siamensis H30-3 were differentially regulated under PEG 6000-induced drought stress at different growing temperatures (30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$). Pretreatment with B. aryabhattai H26-2 and B. siamensis H30-3 enhanced the tolerance of Chinese cabbage seedlings to high temperature, but not to drought stress. It turns out that only B. siamensis H30-3 showed in vitro antifungal activities and in planta crop protection against two fungal pathogens Alternaria brassicicola and Colletotrichum higginsianum causing black spots and anthracnose on Chinese cabbage plants cv. Ryeokgwang, respectively. B. siamensis H30-3 brings several genes involved in production of cyclic lipopeptides in its genome and secreted hydrolytic enzymes like chitinase, protease and cellulase. B. siamensis H30-3 was found to produce siderophore, a high affinity iron-chelating compound. Expressions of BrChi1 and BrGST1 genes were up-regulated in Chinese cabbage leaves by B. siamensis H30-3. These findings suggest that integration of B. aryabhattai H26-2 and B. siamensis H30-3 in Chinese cabbage production system may increase productivity through improved plant growth under high temperature and crop protection against fungal pathogens.

The growth and bolting characteristics of spring Chinese cabbage cultivars at two night-time temperature treatments such as $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ during seedling stage were investigated to establish a safe environmental management strategy for raising seedlings. The low night-time temperature treatments were applied at 5, 10, and 15 days after sawing and the treatment durations were 5, 10, and 15 days in each of treatment beginning. The growth of seedlings in all the tested cultivars were linearly reduced as the treatment duration was extended and no symptoms of bolting were found. The reduction rate in seedling growth of 'Chunkwang' reached to 59.3% at most by 15 days of $5^{\circ}C$ treatment when it be compared to that of control. However, no symptoms of bolting were shown in the treatments of two night-time temperatures until the harvest at 90 days after sawing, indicating that the vernalization effect by low night-time temperature could be mitigated by subsequent day-time optimal temperature management. This study showed that the major spring Chinese cabbage cultivars require more ultimate level of low night-time temperature treatment for the vernalization than this study. It is also supposed that the optimal day-time temperature management can reduce or delay the rate of bolting, even if the seedlings were exposed to short-term low temperature below $5^{\circ}C$ during night-time.

Both agriculture and local tourism of Kagoshima prefecture where is located on the south-western region of the Japanese mainland, are the important industries. Although cabbage (Brassica oleracea) has been cultivated in recent decades in Kagoshima, clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae had never been observed. However, the disease in cabbage was reported in four regions last couple years. Our survey showed that one region is infested severely whereas others are slightly. In the most widely infested region, the disease was also observed in turnip rape (Brassica rapa) which is grown as ornamental plants for landscape design in early spring and important tourist attraction. Consequently, both agriculture and local tourism are damaged by clubroot. The increase of clubroot incidence in this region might be caused by significant increase of cabbage production, the expansion of cropping season throughout the year and continuous turnip rape cultivation in the same fields of cabbage for almost three decades. Therefore we are trying to estimate the risk of clubroot damage cultivation throughout the year in this region. We collected five isolates of resting spores and identified them as race 3, 4 and 9 by Williams' method, and as pathotype group 3 and 4 by classification system using clubroot resistant (CR) $F_1$ cultivars of Chinese cabbage as differential hosts as described in Hatakeyama et al.(2004). Furthermore, we found that these populations were avirulent to commercial CR cabbages. These results indicate that introduction of CR cabbage and breeding of turnip rape are the effective measures to solve our problem.

The influence of planting time and age of reclaimed fields on the contents of heavy metals in vegetable crops in suburban areas was investigated. Investigated crops were 4 radish cultivars, Chinese cabbage, spinach, Garland chrisanthemum, and Welsh onion. Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn were analyzed. The results obtained were as follows. 1) For radishes except Altari-mu and Welsh onion, the highest concentrations of heavy metals were recorded in roots whereas, for Chinese cabbage and Garland chrisanthemum, the highest concentration was appeared in leaves. 2) For lettuce, radishes, and spinach, the lowest concentrations of heavy metals were recorded in winter and the concentrations were the same between spring and autumn. 3) In lettuce difference of concentrations of heavy metals were not appeared between field age after reclamation with sewege sludge. 4) The concentrations of heavy metals observed was not harmful to human health.
