The content of reducing sugars and sucroses was increased by cold- and PA-treatment in cotyledons of spring radish. But in cotyledons of fall radish, the content of reducing sugars, and sucroses was increased by cold treatment but was not increased by cold- and PA-treatment. Total free amino acids in cotyledons of spring radish were increased by cold treatment, but were not increased in cotyledons of fall radish. The results show that cold sensitive spring radishes were adapted by regulating of cellular osmosis and show that the physiological and biochemical metabolism of spring radish was much different from the fall radish. We report first that polyamine has synergetic effect with cold stress on cotyledons of spring radish, but not on cotyledons of fall radish.

This experiment was carried out to figure out the $CO_2$ biomass and the growth response of Chinese cabbage and radish grown under the condition of high temperature and high $CO_2$ concentration to provide the information for the coming climatic change. Chinese cabbage and radish were cultivated in spring and autumn seasons under 4 treatments, 'ambient temp.+ambient $CO_2$ conc.', 'ambient temp.+elevated $CO_2$ conc.', 'elevated temp.+ ambient $CO_2$ conc.', and 'elevated temp. +elevated $CO_2$ conc.'. The 'elevated temp,' plot was maintained at 5 higher than 'ambient temp. (outside temperature)'and the 'elevated $CO_2$ cone.' plot was done in 650 ppm $CO_2$. The growth of spring-sown Chinese cabbage was worse than autumn-sown one, and was affected more by high temperature than high $CO_2$. concentration. The $CO_2$ biomass of Chinese cabbage was lower as 25.1-39.1 g/plant in spring-sown one than 54.8-63.4 g/plant of autumn-sown one. Daily $CO_2$2 fixation ability was not significantly different between spring- and autumn-sown Chinese cabbage as 1.9-2.9, 2.7-3.1 kg/10a/day, respectively. The $CO_2$ biomass of radish were 87.4-104.6 /plant in spring-sown one and 51.3$\sim$76.4 g/plant in autumn-sown one. Daily $CO_2$ fixation ability of radish were 6.2-10.1 kg/10a/day in spring-sown one and 4.6-6.9 kg/10a/day in autumn-sown one.

Polyamines were analyzed in young cotyledons of spring radish. The uptake rate of SPD were transported within 20 min lineary and reached the saturation phase after 1hr. The uptake rate of SPD decreased gradually with the time by the increasing amount of SPD inside the cells. The uptake of PA depends on the external pH. The optimal pH of PA uptake are pH 7.5. $K_m-$ and $V_{max}-$values depend on external pH also. The uptake rate of PA was inhibited by external KCI, which depolarized membrane potential in the cells.

Characteristics (salt concentration, weight loss, soluble solid content, moisture content, pH, textural properties) of kakdugi radish cube (2$\times$2$\times$2 cm) were evaluated during salting. Four different radish cultivars harvested in spring were immersed into 5, 10 or 15% brine (radish : brine - 1 : 2) at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr. The time required to reach the optimum salt concentration (3.0%) was different among cultivars; in 10% brine solution, 5 hr for ‘Bakbong’and ‘9621’, and 4 hr ‘Bagkwang’ and ‘Housebommu’, in 15% brine, 3 hr for ‘Bakbong’and ‘9621’, and 2 hr for ‘Bagkwang’and ‘Housebommu’. While the highest value of weight loss of kakdugi radish cube was observed with ‘Bagkwang’, the lowest, ‘Bakbong’. There was a decrease of pH of kakdugi radish during salting ; while ‘Bakbong’ showed little change in pH, ‘Bakbong’and ‘Housebommu’ showed large decrease of pH. Hardness and fracturability decreased during salting; the highest value of hardness was observed with ‘Bagkwang’, the lowest, ‘Bagkwang’. ‘Bakbong’ has the lowest moisture content, but the highest soluble solid content, while ‘Bagkwang’and ‘Housebommu’ have the highest moisture content, but the lowest soluble solid content. There was a similarity of characteristics of kakdugi radish cube between two cultivars, ‘Bagkwang’and ‘Housebommu’.

This study develops a mid-term preceding observation model of radish to complement an existing short-term agricultural observation model. The first purpose of the study is to extend a three seasonal classification(spring, summer, fall) of fruit-vegetables to a four seasonal classification that involves the winter additionally. This allows us to verify the reason for demand and supply unbalance and unstable price of radish. The second purpose is to construct a mid-term preceding observation model that would be used to forecast planted areas, output, monthly shipment and price. To achieve these purposes, several multiple regression models are estimated. A system is consisted of a planted areas equation, a yield equation, monthly shipment distribution equation, and monthly price equation. To calculate output an auxiliary equation is involved in the system and the consumer price index etc are considered as exogenous variables.

Characteristics (salt concentration, weight loss, soluble solid content, moisture content, and textural properties) of radish cube $(2{\times}2{\times}2\;cm)$ were evaluated during salting. Three different summer radish cultivars harvested in high land were immersed into 15% brine solution (radish : brine solution = 1 : 2) at $15^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. The time required to reach the optimum salt concentration (3%) was different among cultivars; 3 h for 'Bakbong', 4 h for 'Kwandong' and '92343'. Similar weight loss (about 24-26%) of salted radish cubes was found among cultivars. While the highest value of weight loss of salted radish cubes was observed with '92343', the lowest, 'Bakbong'. Hardness decreased during salting; the highest value of hardness was observer with 'Kwandong', the lowest, 'Bankbong'. The sample of '92343' has the lowest moisture content but has the highest soluble solid content and hardness, while 'Bakbong' has the highest moisture content, but has the lowest soluble solid content and '92343'. In separate experiments, seasonal variations in characteristics of salted radish cubes at optimum salt concentration (3%) were observed: for 'Bakbong', salt concentration, weight loss, soluble solid content, and hardness, and for 'Bakwang', salt concentration, weight loss, and hardness were higher in autumn cultivars than in spring or summer one, while moisture contents of both cultivars were higher in spring or summer cultivars than in autumn one.

This study was aimed to observe the effects of municipal sewage sludge as a organic fertilizer on the growth and KDICical omposition of Altari radish (Raphanus sativus). The accumulation rate of heavy metals of the sludge in the radish was also observed. Municipal sewage sludge of Taejon City was applied to the soil of Pai-Chai University Farm to make 6 gradients of sludge contents in the soil. Root weight of Altari radish was affected significantly by N and P contents in the soil. The longest leaves and roots were produced in the control group, in which urea was applied as nitrogen source to the soil. Even though any other sludge-applied groups produced shorter leaves and roots than the control group, the length of the leaves and roots and the weight of the whole plant of the radish tended to increase with the increase of the sludge application. Contents of N, K, Ca and Mg in the radish were not significantly different among those in 6 experimental groups, but P contents in leaves varied among the 6 groups. Zn content of spring Altari radish treated with 200% sludge was 57.6 mg/kg. It is the highest contents among 6 experimental groups. Contents of Zn, Mn and Cd were higher in leaves than in roots, but less than those in market vegetables. From the above results, it is concluded that municipal sewage sludge can be applied as organic fertilizer to the growth of Altari radish. But this sludge could not be applied under our current regulations, which must be reviewed at intra-governmental leavels.

A study relating the sugar contents of radishes to the final titratable acidities(TA) after complete fermentation was conducted to get an idea of selecting radish varieties to improve storage stabilities of fermented pickled radish cubes. Thirty six varieties of spring-sowing and thirty four varieties of autumn-sowing radishes were chosen to ferment to measure their final TA in relation to their sugar contents. The sugar contents of spring-sowing radishes were in the range from 2.40 to $3.71^{\circ}\;Brix$ and the final TA ranged from 1.15 to 1.65%. The sugar contents of autumn-sowing radishes were in the range from 4.00 to $5.53^{\circ}\;Brix$ and the final TA ranged from 1.45 to 2.00%. The final TA obtained after complete fermentation were found to be directly proportional to the sugar contents of radishes, showing that TA equals to 0.29x+0.4428, where x is sugar content of radish. From the equation, since a properly aged fermented pickled vegetable is believed to have a TA range from 0.6 to 0.8%, a radish of a sugar content ranging from 0.6 to $1.3^{\circ}\;Brix$ will make fermented pickled radish cubes which will not be overacidified during the prolonged storage period.

Cadmium was transported through the special carrier system into the cells of cotyledons, hypocotyls, and roots spring radish young plants. The transport of cadmium was inhibited by metabolic inhibitor, like DNP. The $K_m$ values for cadmium were 0.7 ppm for cotyledons, 1.72 ppm for hypocotyls, and 0.3 ppm for roots, and $V_{max}$ for cadmium was $40ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for cotyledons, $313ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for hypocotyls, and $606ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for roots. Cadmium cannot prove to be inducer for proline accumulation. Therefore, proline accumulation cannot be used as a marker to test the level of heavy metal pollution.
