한국의 상추 연구ㆍ개발 논문 분석

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) was introduced in AD 6 ~ 7 C in Korea, was developed, loved a series of Korean food cultures, especially “Ssam” which means cooked rice with vegetable and meat. It was produced and consumed all year round as a source of important vegetable. It is produced 241,323 ton at 8,088 ha in 2004 year, increased annually both production and consumption, also have a blight possibility of export to abroad. Trend of Korea lettuce production have 84% of leaf lettuce, next to crisp head lettuce is 15% and romaine or others is 1%. Knowing the current research and development of lettuce, we investigated 398 papers of journal and report which was published in Korea. The breeding and seed production research parts is 5.2%, cultivation and physiology is 62.9%, tissue culture and transgenic plants is 4.7%, post harvest and content of components parts is 10.3%, pest parts is 11.7%, and management and others is 5.2%. Mainly, the trend of lettuce research until now was biased at cultivation and physiology parts. The breeding and seed production, tissue culture and trasngenic plants, post harvest and content of components research parts were insufficient as a result of research activities. So we can considered that the prospect of future research of lettuce will be more concentrated on the insufficient parts like as; genetic and breeding, using biotechnology, post harvest and processing research parts.
