The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary purple sweet potato(Ipomoea batatas) powder on serum lipid levels and antioxidative enzymes in normal and pretective effect on hepatotoxicity rats induced by carbon tetrachlolide. Four groups of rats (3-week-old inbred Sprague-Dawley male rats) were normal rats fed control diet(C), induced hepatotoxicity rats fed control diet(EC), normal rats fed purple sweet potato diet(P), and induced hepatotoxicity rats fed purple potato sweet diet(EP). Rats were induced by single injection of 50% carbon tetrachlolide(0.1 mL/100 g B.W., i.p.). The rats were fed ad libitum each of the experimental diet for 5 weeks. After 5 weeks the rats were sacrificed and activities of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation products were determined in their liver homogenates. But serum concentrations of lipid was not significant in all groups. Serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT/GPT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST/GOT) of the EC and EP groups were heigher than the C and P groups. The hepatic glucose 6-phosphatase(G6Pase) activity of the group fed purple potato diet(P) was lower than the other groups(p<0.05). However, The glutathione peroxidase(GPx) activities was not statistically different between the groups. Renal glutathione S-transferase(GST) activity of the EC and EP groups were lower than the C and P groups(p<0.05). In conclusion, these results suggest that purple sweet potato is believed to be possible protective effect on hepatotoxicity rats induced by carbon tetrachlolide.

Rapeseed as a partial allogamous crop(allogamy rate : 25~75%) displays depression by continuous selfing. Therefore, it is essential to produce F1 hybrids with high yield using cytoplasmic genetic male sterility(CGMS). This breeding system needs to develop

The aim of this project was to produce pure seed which F₁ hybrids were very excellent in yield components with hybrid vigour. The work was carried out to produce the seeds with maintenance of purity in an isolated P.E. film house, to investigat

The purpose of this study was to investigate the magnitude of commercial heterosis for seed yields in oilseed rape to determine the potential advantage of hybrids, especially to observe morphological charactes which may influence seed yields. Field tests

본 연구는 고구마 수확시기에 줄기를 예취하여 월동 재배할 수 있는 조건을 구명하여 이듬해에 본포 삽식묘로 활용함으로서 씨고구마의 저장, 파종 및 묘 생산에 소요되는 노력과 비용을 절감하고자 시험을 수행하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 줄기묘의 월동재배를 위해서는 터널피복처리에 의해 생존이 가능하였으며 적정 재식시기는 10월 중순이었다. 2. 줄기묘의 재식밀도는 10 3cm(333주/m2 )가 적정하였다 3.줄기묘의 겨울철 생육을 위해서는 최저 5℃ 이상이 필요하였다. 4. 줄기묘의 묘수는 씨고구마에 의해 생산된 묘수에 비해 적었으나 줄기묘의 조기 증식에 의해 묘수를 증가시킬 수 있었다. 5. 줄기묘의 본포 수량성은 씨고구마묘와 차이를 보이지 않았다. 6. 품종간에는 줄기묘의 월동 후 생존율에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.
