This study was aimed to evaluate the dose-response the effects of nano-encapsulated conjugated linoleic acids(CLAs) on in vitro ruminal fermentation profiles. A fistulated Holstein cow was used as a donor of rumen fluid. Nano-encapsulated CLAs(LF, 5% of nano-encapsulated CLA-FFA; HF, 10% of nano-encapsulated CLA-FFA; LT, 5% of nano-encapsulated CLA-TG; HT, 10% of nano-encapsulated CLA-TG) were added to the in vitro ruminal fermentation experiment. In the in vitro ruminal incubation test, the total gas production on incubation with nano-encapsulated CLAs was increased significantly according to the incubation time, compared with the control(p<0.05). The tVFA concentrations on addition of LF and HT were significantly higher than that of the control(p<0.05). Thus, nano-encapsulated CLAs might improve the ruminal fermentation characteristics without adverse effects on the incubation process. In addition, the population of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens which is closely related to ruminal biohydrogenation was increased by adding HT, while decreased by adding LF at 12 h incubation. These results showed that nano-encapsulated CLA-FFA could be applied to enhance CLA levels in ruminants by maintaining the stability of CLA without causing adverse effects on ruminal fermentation profiles considering the optimal dosage.

The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of knowledge of care workers working at long term care hospitals and nursing homes on pressure ulcer. A total of 81 care workers including 34 at long term care hospitals and 47 at nursing homes were surveyed. 24 questions were used to evaluate their degree of knowledge on pressure ulcer. Their knowledge on pressure ulcer scored 12.84 out of the total score of 24 points(SD=3.40), which was equal to 53.50 (SD=24.23) out of 100 points.

야생벼는 재배벼의 병해충 저항성과 불량환경 적응성 등을 제고할 수 있는 유용한 유전자원으로 평가되고 있다. 농촌진흥청 국립식량과학원에서 국내육성 자포니카 벼 품종인 ‘화성’과 야생벼 O. minuta (BBCC 게놈; Acc.=101141)간의 종간교잡을 통하여 흰잎마름병과 도열병에 저항성인 ‘수원506호’를 육성하였으며, 본 계통에 대한 야생벼 유래 도열병 저항성 유전자의 유전양상 구명 및 유전자위 표지에 대한 연구결과는 다음과 같다.1.반복친인 ‘화성’에 높은 친화성을 발현하는 6개 도열병 균주 검정에서 ‘수원506호’는 반복친 ‘화성’과 5개 비교품종들과 다른 저항성 반응을 보여 이들과 다른 야생벼 유래 도열병 저항성 유전자를 보유하는 것으로 판단되었다.2.분자마커의 유전자형과 도열병 저항성 간의 연관성평가를 수행한 결과, ‘수원506호’의 도열병 저항성에 관여하는 주동유전자위는 12번염색체 중단의 RM101-S10704-RM1337 좌위에 위치하는 것으로 추정되었다.3.STS 마커 S10704에서 확인된 ‘화성’과 ‘수원506호’의 이질적인 유전자형은 해당부위에 야생벼 O. minuta의 염색체 단편이 이입되었다는 것을 증명하였다.4.이 좌위는 적어도 9개의 도열병 저항성 유전자들이 위치하는 것으로 보고된 바 있는데, 추후 정밀분석을 통해 ‘수원506호’의 도열병 저항성 유전자위와 기 보고된 유전자들과의 관계를 분석할 계획이다.

쌀 수량이 많은 연도에는 밥맛도 좋아 질 것이라고 예상한다. 본 연구는 일교차와 일조시간에 의해 평년 대비 쌀 수량이 약 10% 증가한 년도의 식미 및 이화학특성을 구명하기 위해 수행하였다.지난 20년간(1993~2012) 쌀 수량을 분석한 결과, 연차 간에 쌀 수량이 약 10% 차이가 나는 년도는 1993년과 1994년, 2009년과 2010년 등 총 6번 이었다. 그 중에서 일교차와 일조시간에 의해 평년수준의 쌀 수량은 2000년과 쌀 수량이 9.8% 증가한 2001년이 본 연구의 목적에 적합한 년도이었다.기상조건은 2000년 대비 2001년은 등숙기 평균기온은 비슷하였으나, 일교차가 컸고, 일조시간이 많았다. 수량구성요소는 2000년 대비 2001년이 주당 수수의 감소에도 불구하고 수당 립 수가 많았고, 등숙비율 또한 높아 수량이 증가하였다.쌀의 화학적 성분 함량은 2000년 대비 2001년에는 아밀로스함량은 증가하였으나, 단백질, Mg 및 K 함량은 감소하였다. 반면 Mg/K 당량비는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 쌀 전분의 물리적 특성은 2000년 대비 2001년에 최고점도는 차이가 없었으나, 최저점도 및 최종점도는 높았다.관능평가와 기계적 식미측정값과 단순상관계수가 0.82**~0.89**(n=27~30), 로 통계적인 유의성이 있었다. 따라서 연차 간 밥맛의 차이를 기계적인 측정값으로 간접 평가한 결과 2000년 보다 2001년도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다.이상의 결과를 종합 해 볼 때, 일교차와 일사량에 의해 평년수준인 2000년 대비 쌀 수량이 약 10% 증가한 2001년도에는 밥맛도 좋았을 것으로 추론된다.

NGS costs are decreasing rapidly, and beneficial application of the technology to plant genomics seems inevitable. Trying to interpret the agriculturally important traits like yield is actively in progress all across the globe. However, the current stage of bio-informatic technology as applied to the interpretation of agricultural trait appears not yet at a level of maturity to justify widespread plant genome sequencing for user-friendly molecular breeding. It is necessary to construct dense mutation block (DMB) based molecular breeding system for selecting plants with optimal agricultural performance; as well as for identifying useful quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Firstly, we screened and selected DMBs-specific INDEL markers obtained from SNV density profiles using 42 genome sequences of Korean cultivar and public sequences of 24 japonica rice cultivars. Secondly, we analyzed the genetic similarity between 288 Korean cultivars using 113 DMB-specific INDEL markers, which could differentiate on agarose gel by PCR. And we are going to integrate 360 INDEL markers up to 30 per each chromosome. Finally, we selected 40 founder lines considering the importance of the breeding, the purpose of use, and plant ecotype. To construct rice nested association mapping population we crossed each founder lines with the pollen of Hwayoungbyeo which was most commonly used in korean rice breeding program. F2 seed multiplication and generation iteration are ongoing.

In this study, we examined the palatability and physicochemical properties of rice varieties in the year when there was 10% increase in yield compared to normal year due to daily temperature range and sunshine hours. The results of the analysis of rice yield over the last 20 years (1993-2012) showed 10% difference between the yield in 2000, which was normal, and that in 2001. With regard to the crop weather condition during the ripening period in 2001 compared to 2000, the daily range and sunshine hours were higher, but the mean temperature was similar. The rice yield in 2001 was 9.8% higher than that in 2000 due to the increased number of spikelets per panicles and ratio of ripened grain. In terms of chemical traits, protein, Mg, and K contents decreased in 2001 compared to 2000, but amylose content increased. Trough and final viscosity assessed with a Rapid Visco Analyser were significantly higher in 2001 than 2000. The results suggested that the palatability of cooked rice was good in that year with about 10% increase in rice yield compared to normal year due to daily temperature range and sunshine hours.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are promising cell source because of their unique self-renewal and pluripotency. Although hESC-derived cardiac cells are currently generated worldwide, cryopreservation of these cells is still limited due to low rate of post-thaw survival. Cryopreservation of hESC-derived cardiac cells is critical in that their long-term storage can accelerate their use in regenerative medicine. However, to date, there are few reports on efficient cryopreservation and post-thaw survival of hESC-derived cardiac cells. In this study, we evaluated the effects of ginsenoside, which is known to improve survival of rat embryonic cardiomyocytes against myocardial ischemia injury in diabetic rats (Wu et al., 2011), on the survival of hESC-derived cardiac cells after thawing. We induced differentiation into cardiac cells using our previously reported method (Kim et al., 2011). Differentiated, pre-beating stage cardiac cells were cryopreserved using either mass cryopreservation or vitrification. To evaluate the effects of ginsenoside (Re, Rb), we compared three sets: pre- and post-thaw treatment, pre- or post-thaw treatment only. The survival of post-thaw cardiac cells were evaluated using Trypan-blue and Annexin V staining. In addition, the three groups were treated with ROCK inhibitor Y-27632, and compared with non-treatment groups. The effect of ginsenoside was significant in post-thaw treatment group, i.e, thawed cells expressed cardiac specific genes and showed specific functionality such as spontaneous beating. Taken together, we demonstrated favorable effects of ginsenoside on the survival of hESC-derived cardiac cells after cryopreservation and thawing. These results suggest a possible application of well-known cardioprotectant ginsenoside in cell-based tissue engineering using hESC-derived cardiac cells.

Near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying bacterial blight resistance genes (Xa4, xa5 and Xa21) were developed in japonica rice using Suweon345 as genetic background. NILs were selected by gene specific DNA markers and inoculation of K1 or K3a race. NILs conferring Xa4 were resistant to K1, K2, K3, and moderately resistant to K3a. NILs conferring xa5 were resistant to K1, K2, K3, and K3a. NILs having Xa21 were susceptible to K1, while resistant to K2, K3 and K3a. Target genes of NILs with the genetic background of Suweon345 were also confirmed by using eleven Philippines races and International Rice Bacterial Blight (IRBB) NILs carrying Xa4, xa5 and Xa21. All NILs had no significant difference from their recurrent parents in the major agronomic traits except for panicle length and brown rice 1,000 grain weight. Heading date of NILs ranged from Aug. 10 to Aug. 11, which was similar to that of recurrent parent, Suweon345. Culm length, number of grains per panicle and ratio of ripened grain of NILs were similar to those of Suweon345. Milled rice of NILs was ranged from 4.82 to 4.93MT/ha. These NILs will be useful for improving resistance to K3a race of bacterial blight pathogens in Korean japonica cultivars.
