The original species seems to be L. serriola L., which is distributed from the eastern Mediterranean coast to Asia Minor. It is said that this is because only this species is freely crossed to produce seeds among several wild species closely related to lettuce. It seems that it is known from the mural painting that it was already used in Egypt around 4500 BC. Furthermore, it seems that it was introduced to Greece and Italy and became an important vegetable. However, I heard that all of these were non-heading lettuce. Heading lettuce seems to be known in Europe only in the middle of the 16th century. In China, around 600-900 AD, stalk lettuce, which is an unusual cultivar group that feeds on enlarged stalks, is being cultivated. It was introduced to Japan through China and seems to have been widely cultivated. At present, ball lettuce has become a common vegetable in Japan. Head lettuce has been introduced and cultivated as a western vegetable in the Meiji era. In addition, it was after World War II that the crisp head type that completely headed was cultivated, and it is considered to be a completely new vegetable. The head lettuce used today has been bred in Europe and the United States since the 16th century, and it seems that it has changed beyond imagination from its former form. Unlike traditional varieties, it prefers a cool climate and the optimum temperature for seed germination is 15 to 20 ° C, but the germination rate drops significantly after 25 ° C. Seeds also go dormant when the temperature rises.

From the genotype analysis of Toki and Orin and Kogetsu, apples with a genotype like Toki do not occur when Orin and Kogetsu are mating parents, and when Orin and Fuji are mated, the genotype of Toki Can now be explained consistently, and it seems that Pollen parent is Fuji. Self-incompatibility The S genotype is S2S9, which is compatible with the main varieties “Fuji”, “Tsugaru”, and “Orin”, but is incompatible with “Kinsei”, “Jonagold”, and “Aori 21”. Alternaria mali (occurs on leaves, fruits and shoots. The leaves are susceptible to infection of young leaves and form brown spotted lesions. The lesions appear to expand and become amorphous. If a large number of leaves are formed or the leaf stalk is affected, the leaves fall early. In the fruit, many small black spots are formed around the axillary part at the young fruit stage, and the fruit becomes rusty with the enlargement of the fruit. In addition, black spots are formed at maturity, but in yellow varieties, red rings may be formed around the lesions. In shoots, brown circular pathological punctums are formed around the skin）Seems to be strong.

Production and consumption of local food is an initiative to consume agricultural, forestry and fishery products (limited to those used for food) produced in the domestic area within the area where they are produced. In addition to improving the food self-sufficiency rate, it will also lead to the sixth-order industry through direct sales offices and processing efforts. Fresh and cheaper agricultural products can be obtained from places close to consumers. You can check the production status by yourself and get a sense of security. It is a great opportunity to get a sense of familiarity with food and agriculture and to deepen your understanding of the relationship between production and consumption and traditional food culture.

It was thought that rice cultivation was introduced in the Yayoi period, but it has been discovered that the Akodai-style pottery of the Jomon period, about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, had indentations of rice paddy. It is older than the Minamimizote site in Okayama prefecture, which was the oldest in the Jomon period 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. Amakusa is also known for its location in the Japanese archipelago and for boating events in the south, and it is speculated that it could be the first window for Jomon rice cultivation and culture from the Korean Peninsula, the continent, and the southern waters. The Oya site is said to be located on a sand dune 2.5 m to 3 m above sea level formed on the left bank of the mouth of the Hirose River in the northern part of the former Hondo city. The area of the ruins is about 10,000 m2, and it mainly contains the relics from the early to late Jomon period, and there is an inclusion layer in the late Jomon period. The specified range was 2,863 m2. Small-scale excavation for compiling city history in 1988 and archaeological site confirmation survey in 1992. As a result, about 10,000 relics have been excavated. The main ones are clay figurines, beast-shaped clay products, rock figurines, shafts of stone hooks, stamp-type clay figurines, scrapers, stone harpoons, etc. These relics are valuable as an indication of the complex influence of continental and eastern Japanese culture.
