Mitochondria are essential organelles of eukaryotic cells and plant cells contain varying numbers of mitochondrial genome sequences. Sizes and shapes of mitochondria differ within a tissue or in the same cells. Previously sequenced complete mitochondrial genome (NC_016118) of Brassica oleracea size was 360,271 bp, where segmental duplication (repeat block) was 141,800 bp. In this study, we resequenced this whole mitochondrial genome by using WGS (whole genome sequencing) and assembled organelles genome method (unpublished). Newly sequenced mitochondrial genome length was 219,975 bp and circle form. A new sequence segment of approximately 4,800 bp was obtained compared to the previous genome sequence without any large repeat block. Newly obtained mitochondria genome sequence was compared with recently reported mitochondria genome sequences of various species (B. oleracea, B. juncea, B. rapa, B. napus and B. carinata) and subspecies (cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, broccoli and kale) by PCR using primers specifying different region of genome sequences. PCR analysis results have also confirmed the variation between previous and newly sequenced mitochondrial genome circles form. Thus, the results suggest new B. oleracea mitotype, including evolutionary events such as inheritance, rearrangement, genome compaction, and diversity

Solanum nigrum is one of useful sources for improving resistance to several diseases in potato (S. tuberosum). For enhancing late blight resistance, introgression of late blight resistance from S. nigrum was attempted into the cultivated potatoes using somatic hybridization due to their sexual incompatibility. Therefore, we sequenced the chloroplast genome of S nigrum and compared it with those of Nicotiana tabacum, S. bulbocastanum, S. tuberosum and S. lycopersicum. The complete sequence of the chloroplast genome of S. nigrum consists of 155,432 bp in length including a pair of inverted repeat regions (Ira, Irb) of 25,589 bp each, a small single copy region of 18,402 bp and a large single copy region of 85,852 bp. The genome contains 107 genes. A comparison of chloroplast genome of five solanaceous species revealed that the gene contents and their relative positions of S. nigrum are similar to the other four species. Detailed comparison identified 35 indels, including 22 insertion and 13 deletion, in the intergenic and intragenic regions. The phylogenetic tree of chloroplast sequences of five solanaceous species shows that S nigrum is located at a same node with N. tabacum and is secondly close to S. lycopersicum. A sister clade with S. bulbocastanum and S. tuberosum is the farthest. The results obtained in this study will facilitate the development of PCR-based markers to select somatic fusion products.

Complete closed-type carbon fiber reinforced polymer stirrups with a rectangular section (CFRPRS) were developed and tested in this research. The CFRPRS was intended to relieve stress concentration and to reduce the number of kinked fibers at the bent portion. A total of 16 B.5 specimens were tested regarding the bend strength of the CFRPRS and CFRP stirrups with circular section. Test results showed that CFRPRS improved the bend strength compared to its counterpart of conventional CFRP stirrups having a circular section, with the larger ratio of width to thickness being more effective for the same sectional area. The best correlation between the test results and predictions on CFRPRS bend strength was observed when the section of CFRPRS was modeled as a collection of transformed individual circular sections.

Regarding carotenoids content, the genetic basis, heritability and combining ability in six red pepper inbred lines were investigated using full diallel crosses. Both additive and non-additive gene actions govern inheritance of carotenoids content. The mean square of array through variance and covariance analysis (Wr-Vr) was insignificant, which suggest that inbred lines involved in diallel cross may have no epistatic effects. The Vr/Wr graph revealed the influence of partial dominant gene action towards low carotenoids content and the absence of non-allelic interaction. The H2 component was smaller than the H1 and the [H2/4H1] component was 0.187 less than 0.25, indicating unequal proportion of positive and negative alleles in the parents. The estimates of broad and narrow sense heritability for carotenoids content were 0.956 and 0.832, respectively. The variance of general combining ability (GCA) was relatively higher than that of specific combining ability (SCA), which implied that the additive gene effects were predominant as compared to both dominant and epistatic effects for the accumulation of carotenoids in this genetic population. The values of GCA of ‘62024L1’ and ‘62067L2’ were higher than those of the other parents. These 2 inbred lines, therefore, can be considered as useful breeding materials to enhance fruit carotenoids content in other red pepper varieties.

For the destruction of toxic chlorinated organic compounds, this study proposes improved supercritical water oxidation method (multistep oxidation) using sodium nitrate as an oxidizer. This method solves the problems involved in the existing supercritical water oxidation method. Multistep oxidation means that NaNO3 is oxidized to N2 via NaNO2 and NO. Toxic and hard to destroy organic substances like para-dichlorobenzen(4-DCBz), polychlorinate biphenyl(PCB) ware oxidized to non toxic substances in a condition, in which rapid pressure and temperature rise is restrained as much as possible. 4-dichlorobenzene(4-DCBz) and Polychlorinate biphenyl(PCB) in condition(450℃, pw=0.25g/cm3, 30min) Was discomposed perfectly.

This study was conducted to evaluate capability of dyeing wastewater treatment for 3 type reactors. These reactors were Packed Bed Reactor(PBR), Fluidized Bed reactor(FBR) and Moving Media Complete Mixing Activated Sludge reactor(MMCMAS). Experiments of PBR and FBR were performed by various packing ratios and organic loading rates, experiments of MMCMAS were performed by various organic loading rates In order to obtain SBOD_5 removal efficiencies of more than 90%, the F/Mv ratios of PBR, FBR, MMCMAS were 0.11 ㎏BOD/㎏MLVSS·d, 0.12 ㎏BOD/㎏MLVSS·d, and 0.37 ㎏BOD/㎏MLVSS·d, respectively. So MMCMAS system which has more active microorganisms showed better capability of organic removal and also stronger dynamic and shock loadings than those of PBR and FBR. In PBR and FBR, the media packing ratio of 20% showed better performance of organic matters removal effciencies than 10% and 30%, but sludge production rate at media packing ratio of 30% was relatively lower than that of 10% and 20%. When more than 90% organic matters removal efficiency was obtained, the ratios of attached biomass to total biomass at PBR, FBR, MMCMAS were 89∼99%, 87∼98%, and 54∼80%, respectvely. The ratio of attached biomass to total biomass was low in MMCMAS. This was formation of thin biofilm due to shear force between rotating disc and water. The average sludge production rates(㎏VSS/㎏BODrem.) of PBR, FBR and MMCMAS were 0.20, 0.29 and 0.54, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the biological treatment capability of MMCMAS(Movinig Media Complete Mixing Activated Sludge) reactor for high strength organic wastewater (Average BOD=800㎎/ℓ). And this experimental results were compared previous study for low strength organic wastewater (Average BOD=150㎎/ℓ) by the same reactor. In this study, we abtained following conclusions ; (1) The laboratory MMCMAS reactor demonstrated that SBOD removal efficiencies of more than 90% can be achieved at organic loading rates of 30.9 gBOD/㎡/d for high strength organic wastewater and 39.4 gBOD/㎡/d for low strength organic wastewater, respectively. (2) The nitrification rates of MMCMAS reactor was found same results of similiar organic loading rates. (3) The ratio of attached biomass to total biomass on the moving media varied in the range of 40 to 63% and 32 to 94% for high and low strength organic wastewater, respetively. And it was varied at the various concentration of influents for the similiar organic loading rates. The sludge production rates was found approximately 0.37 gVSS/gBODrem. in MMCMAS reactor.

유채에서 F1 의 잡종강세를 이용함에 있어 Shiga나 Thmpson이 개발한 MS들은 고온에서 불임성이 회복되고 유질과 유박의 성분도 개량되지 못하였으므로 이같은 결점이 보완된 새로운 MS를 개발코저 연구를 계속한 결과 완전한 불임성이면서 에루친산과 구루코지노레이트가 제거, 개량된 새로운 세포질.유전자적 웅성불임계통 Mokpo-MS가 육성되었다. 이를 다음과 같이 요약한다. 1.
