본 연구는 체외에서 생산된 도살장 유래의 한우 배반포를 젖소의 자궁에 이식하여 임신율을 상승시킴으로써 농가의 수정란 이식의 이해 및 그 산업화 촉진의 계기를 마련하고자 실시하였다. 그 결과 배양기간을 단축시키면서도 한꺼번에 많은 양의 배반포를 생산할 수 있는 배양액의 개발이 시급하며, 수정란 이식의 산업화를 위해서는 질 좋은 배반포 생산은 물론이거니와 수란우의 선정을 위한 신기술의 개발 및 숙련된 수정란 이식사의 양성은 대단히 중요하다고 생각한다.

BaTiO3물질은 뛰어난 유전체로 널리 알려져 왔으며 특히 Heywang등이 제안한 PTCR특성은 이 물질의 응용범위를 세라믹 필터, 회로보호소자, 온도감지소자 및 저항가열장치 등으로 확대시켰다. 이러한 특성의 발현기구는 아직까지 밝혀지지 않은 상태이지만 제 특성을 향상시키기 위한 노력은 계속되어왔다. 특히 개발목적에 맞게 온도에 따른 정저항 특성(PTCR; Positive temperature constnat of resistivity phenomena)을 설계하려는 시도가 계속되어 왔으며 그 중에서도 페로브스카아트계의 2가와 4가의 양이온 자리를 등가나 원자가가 다른 양이온으로 치환하여 특성을 개선하려는 시도가 계속되어 왔다. 특히 Ca2+나 Sr2+는 Ba2+자리를 치환할 수 있는 물질로 개별적인 첨가에 대한 연구는 많은 연구자들에 의해 진행된 상태이지만 최종적인 영향이나 해석에 대해서는 연구자들간에 이견이 많은 상태이다. 이번 실험에서는 BaTiO3계에 합성한 (Ca, Sr)TiO3를 Ca와 Sr의 상대적인 비를 변화시키면서 전체적인 첨가량을 변화시켜 그에 따른 전기적 특성 및 미세구조를 살펴보았다. (Ca, Sr)TiO3의 첨가로 상온저항 및 PTCR특성을 변화시킬 수 있었으며 이를 통해 PTCR물질의 활용범위를 넓힐 수 있는 발판을 마련할 계기가 되었다. 특히 기존의 연구가 주로 개별적인 Ca나 Sr의 첨가에 의한 미세구조와 전기적 특성변화의 연구에 치중해 있었던 것과는 달리 Sr과 Ca을 함께 치환하여 상대적인 비가 특성에 더 중요한 영향을 끼치는 것을 확인하였으며 적절한 합성비를 선택하면 퀴리온도에서의 저항변화폭을 유지하면서 상온저항을 낮출 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The object of this study was to evaluate the effects of climatic elements on potato yield and create a model for estimating the potato yield. We used 35 yield data of Sumi variety produced in mulching cultivation from 17 regions over 11 years. According to the results, some climatic elements showed significant level of correlation coefficient with marketable yield of potato. Totally 22 items of climatic elements appeared to be significant. Especially precipitation for 20 days after planting (Prec_1 & 2), relative humidity during 11~20 days after planting (RH_2), precipitation for 20 days before harvest (Prec_9 & 10), sunshine hours during 50~41 days before harvest (SH_6) and 20 days before harvest (SH_9 & 10), and days of rain during 10 days before harvest (DR_10) were highly significant in quadratic regression analysis. 22 items of predicted yield (Yi=aXi 2 +bXi+c) were induced from the 22 items of climatic elements (step 1). The correlations between the predicted yields and marketable yield were stepwised using SPSS, statistical program, and we selected a model (step 2), in which 4 items of independent variables (Yi) were used. Subsequently the Yi were replaced with the equation in step 1, aXi 2 +bXi+c. Finally we derived the model to predict the marketable yield of potato as below. Y = -336×DR_10 2 + 854×DR_10 – 0.422×Prec_9 2 + 43.3×Prec_9 – 0.0414×RH_2 2 + 46.2×RH_2 – 0.0102×Prec_2 2 – 7.00×Prec_2 – 10039

본 연구에서는 대추나무 육종 연구 및 품종식별 등에 활용 가능한 microsatellite DNA표지를 개발 하였다. 또한 개발된 표지를 이용하여 국내 대추 3품종 8점(복조, 이조, 슈퍼왕대추)과, 중국에서 수집된 11품종을 분석하여 품종별 고유 DNA profile를 작성하고 품종 간 유연관계를 분석하였다. 대추나무 엽시료에서 DNA를 분리하고, Glenn과 Schable(2005)의 방법에 따라 microsatellite enrichment 라이브러리를 작성하였다. 작성된 라이브러리로부터 microsatellite repeat을 가지는 62개 contig 서열(Genebank Acc. No. KJ156642 - KJ156703)을 확보하고 이로부터 총 22개의 primer를 디자인 하였다. 이 중 품종 간 변이가 있고 재현성이 높은 15개 primer를 최종 선정하여 분석에 사용하였다. 대추나무 14품종 19점 시료를 분석한 결과 유전자좌에 따라 2개에서 7개의 대립유전자가 관찰되어 모든 유전자좌에서 다형성이 확인되었다. 국내 품종인 복조, 이조 및 슈퍼왕대추는 품종 내 개체 간 변이는 전혀 관찰되지 않았고, 품종 간에는 유전적 거리가 0.43-0.63사이 값을 보여 품종 식별에 활용 가치가 높은 것으로 판단되었다. UPGMA dendrogram을 통한 품종 간 유연관계를 분석한 결과 최근 우리나라에서 인기 있는 ‘슈퍼왕대추’는 중국에서 수집된 다른 대립종들과 유전적으로 유사한 경향을 보였다. 우리나라에서 널리 재배되는 ‘복조’ 품종은 중국 섬서성에서 수집된 ‘대백령’과 유전적으로 가장 가까웠다. 본 연구에서 개발된 microsatellite 표지는 대추나무 품종 유전·육종 연구 뿐 아니라, 품종 식별을 통한 유통단속에도 널리 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes of chlorophyll contents, chlorophyll fluorescence, photosynthetic parameters, and leaf growth of Synurus deltoides under different shading treatments. S. deltoides was grown under non-treated (full sunlight) and three different shading conditions (Shaded 88~93%, 65~75%, and 45%~55%). Light compensation point (Lcomp), dark respiration (Dresp), maximum photosynthesis rate (Pnmax), photo respiration rate (Presp), carboxylation efficiency (Φcarb), and photochemical efficiency were decreased with increasing shading level; However, CO2 compensation point (CO2 comp), total chlorophyll content, and specific leaf area (SLA) were shown the opposite trend. S. deltoides under 88~93% treatment showed the lowest photosynthetic activity such as maximum photosynthetic rate (Pnmax), photochemical efficiency, and CO2 compensation point (CO2 comp). Therefore, photosynthetic activity will be sharply decreased with a long period of 8~12% of full sunlight. With the shading level decreased, carotenoid content and non-photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ) increased to prevent excessive light damage. This result suggested that growth and physiology of S. deltoides adapted to high light intensity through regulating its internal mechanism.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of atmosphere-leaf vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in Allium microdictyon Prokh. and Allium ochotense Prokh. The vapor pressure deficit (VPD) was rapidly increased with increasing temperature and decreasing relative humidity. Taken as a whole, the stomatal transpiration reaction was slightly late with increading of VPD. Maximum photosynthetic rate at high-VPD condition was 5.98 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 in Allium microdictyon, which was a little lower than 6.59 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 in Allium ochotense, respectively. After 2 p.m, stomatal transpiration of Allium microdictyon at the high VPD condition were rapidly decreased. Ci/Ca began to decline sharply at 8 a.m and showed the lowest value at 2 p.m, The results showed that Ci/Ca decreased with being used CO2 in the mesophyll intercellular space for photosynthesis. In high VPD condition, The water potential values showed the highest at 5 a.m, and the lowest at 1 p.m in high VPD condition. The water saturation deficits (WSD) in high VPD condition showed about 1.5 times higher than in low VPD condition. The results indicated that physiological activities in Allium microdictyon is more limited from high VPD conditions.
