It is important to accelerate rooting and establishment of seedlings after transplanting for higher dry matter production and tuber yield in sweet potato cultivation. Therefore, this study was conducted to obtain some information about the effects of vine-cutting holding on rooting and plant growth after transplanting. Vines were cut 20-25cm long and stored for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 days in a shade room at 20~pm 0.5~circC , RH 68~pm,/TEX>1%. Peroxidase activity in the vine cuttings increased as the holding period increased and the highest catalase activity was detected in the 5-day holding. Length of main vine, number of branches and nodes on main vine also increased in the 5-day holding. There was little difference in the diameter of main vine among the various holding periods. The data obtained indicate that transplanting of vine cuttings after 5-day holding could promote rooting and vine growth
Effects of acute anoxia on carbohydrate hydrolytic enzyme activities and free amino acid contents in malt were examined. Malts were prepared with barley grains germinated for 7 days which contained the highest levels of amylolytic and(1-3,1-4)-β -glucanase activities. α -Amylase and β -amylase activities in malts were not significantly affected by anoxia for 5 or 10 h.(1-3,1-4)-β -Glucanase activity, however, decreased about 7 to 10% by anoxia for 5 or 10 h. Alanine and ~gamma -aminobutyric acid content changed drastically. Alanine contents in malts increased by 2.2- and 2-fold, and ~gamma -aminobutyric acid contents by 1.4- and 1.9-fold under anoxia for 5 and 10 h, respectively.
(1-3)-β-glucanase 동위효소의 발현 양상을 등 전점 전기영동 젤에서 직접 검출 확인할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 개발된 방법은 시판되고 있는 (1-3)-β-glucanase활성 측정용 염료착색 기질을 이용하였다. 본 방법은 신속, 간편하며 보리 종자에서 발현되는 것으로 알려져 있는 모든 (1-3)-βglucanase 동위효소를 검출할 수 있을 정도로 민감하고 특이적이었다. 시판되고 있는 Penicillium(1-3)-β-glucanase에 대한 활성 검출 한계단위는 50 u U 정도로 추정되었다. 따라서, 본 방법은 특별한 시설이나 연구 인력을 확보하고 있지 않는 연구실에서 식물체의 (1-3)-β-glucanase발현에 대한 단백질 수준에서의 연구를 수행하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다
