본 조사는 일본의 쌀 검사 제도와 품위 등급 규격에 대한 동향을 살펴보고 그에 따른 내용을 파악하여 국내 쌀 산업 발 전 방향에 도움이 될 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 수행하였다. 1. 농업 경쟁력 강화 프로그램으로 2016년부터는 농산물 규격 검사의 간소화로 최근에는 곡물 검사장에 곡물 판별기를 활용하여 뉘, 맥류, 뉘 이외 곡물 등을 이종 곡립으로 통합하여 5% 이내로 개정하였다. 2. 쌀에 대한 손실 방지를 위해 정미의 포장 표시를 년·월· 일 표시에서 상·중·하순으로 개정하였다. 3. 일본은 매년 생산된 현미 품위 생산량과 등급 비율을 공개 하고 있으며, 1등급 쌀을 대상으로 식미 랭킹을 선정하고 있다.

베트남 메콩 델타 지역은 베트남에서도 쌀 생산이 활발히 이루어지는 지역으로 꼽히고 있으나 기후온난화에 따른 고온 현상 증가로 쌀생산량 감소의 우려가 증대되고 있다. 이에 고온에 따른 벼 피해발생 현황 및 대응 기술에 대한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 베트남의 평균기온은 2060년 까지 약 2.7oC 증가, 35oC 이상의 폭염은 2030년까지 2달 이상 길어질 것으로 예측되고 있으며 기온상승에 따라 기온이 높은 작기의 벼 생산량이 감소되고 있다. 벼 개화기 온도가 33oC 이상으로 높을 시, 화분의 감수분열에 영향을 미쳐 화분의 활력이 저하되며 수술에서 약의 개열이 감소되어 화분의 방출이 감소될 뿐만 아니라 화분이 암술의 주두에 부착하여 발아 시 발아율을 낮추어 불임 발생이 증가하게 된다. 베트남의 벼 연구소는 고온에 대비하여 베트남 벼 생산의 안정화를 위해서 개화기에 내열성을 가지는 품종 육성 뿐만 아니라 이른 아침에 개화할 수 있는 품종을 육성하고 있다. 또한 재배 적인 측면에서 고온 피해를 줄일 수 있도록 벼 재배시기를 조절하여 기존 3기작에서 고온피해가 큰 시기의 재배를 제외한 2기작으로 재배하는 반면 파종 및 이앙시기를 조절하여 벼의 생육량을 충분히 확보하여 2기작에 따른 수량감소를 최소화하는 연구가 필요하다. 더불어 벼를 재배하지 못하는 무더운 계절에는 농업인의 소득보존을 위해 논을 이용한 물고기 양식 기술 도입하는 것도 필요하며, 시비 방법 등의 개선을 통한 벼 생육량 조절, 물관리 기술 개발을 통한 포장 미세기상변화 등의 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 평균온도 상승에 따른 출수기변화, 수량구성 요소 및 수량, 출수기건물중 및 식물체 질소함량 변화를 평가 한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 생육기 평균온도 1oC 상승 시 밀의 출수기는 약 2.8일 단축된 것으로 판단되었다. 2. 평균온도 상승 시 수량구성요소와 수량이 악화되었는데, 주로 면적당수수 감소에 의해 면적당립수와 수량이 감소한 것으로 판단되었다. 3. 1수립수는 11월 7일 파종 시 고온조건에서 감소하였으나 11월 17일 파종 시 고온조건에서 감소하지 않았다. 4. 천립중은 출수 후 30일간 평균온도 1oC 당 약 2.1g씩 감소하였다. 5. 평균온도 상승 시 출수기 건물중은 감소하지 않았으나, 출수기 면적당경수는 감소한 것으로 판단되었다. 6. 고온처리 시 식물체 질소흡수량이 감소하여 면적당립수가 감소한 것으로 판단되었다.

Since Japonica rice is recognized as the premium rice in some subtropical region such as Philippines, the development of new cultivar adaptable in subtropical region has been conducting. However typical Japonica rice show earlier flowering in subtropical region due to the short day length and high temperature conditions. In such a condition, it is difficult to secure enough yields. Therefore it is need that selection of Japonica cultivar showing suitable heading characters in subtropical region. Here we try to check the basic vegetative phase and heading sensitivity on temperature condition using 37 kinds of Korean cultivars. BVP is between 14 to 39 days and 37% of cultivar had basic vegetative phase between 26 to 30 days. When temperature became lower on sensitive and reproductive stage, heading was more delayed. However the 24oC condition showed the greatest impact on heading delay among temperature condition. Among cultivars, 56% of cultivars have basic vegetative phase over 25days.We checked temperature effect on heading especially sensitivity stage in those materials. Joun, Manho, Joan and Cheonga showed stable heading date under different temperature conditions. With this data, we suggest that Joun, Manho, Joan and Cheonga could be a good cultivar in subtropical region in heading characters.

This study was conducted to clarify the effect of high temperature during winter period(autumn sowing) and spring sowing on yield, quality and growth and development in barley. The varieties used for the experiments were heenchalssalbori and keunalbori 1 having a strong spring habit characteristics. In spring sowing treatment, spikelet differentiation was proceeded rapidly and tillering was proceeded slowly compared to the development stage, because the barley sowed at spring is cultivated in high temperature and long day conditions from sowing to spikelet differentiation stage compared with autumn sowing(control). And in high temperature treatment during winter period, like spring sowing, tillering was inhibited compared to the development stage. The number of grain per panicle and the period required to heading stage from spikelet differentiation were reduced largely at spring sowing, because spring sowing treatment was conducted in high temperature and long day condition compared with autumn sowing and high temperature treatment during the period from spikelet differentiation to heading stage. Meanwhile in spring sowing treatment, average temperature during ripening stage was higher than the autumn sowing and high temperature during winter, because heading stage was so late. After all, starch, amylose content and grain weight were reduced while protein content was relatively increased in spring sowing treatment due to difference of average temperature of ripening stage. These changes affected the decrease of viscosity of peak, trough, breakdown and the increase of setback viscosity

We investigated the changes in the physicochemical properties of wheat grains during ripening stage to determine the effect of the rise in average temperature on that of wheat grains. The treated average temperatures were 18.3°C(control), 19.9°C(1.6°C increase), 21.5°C(3.2°C increase) in artificial climate room from heading time to harvest. Results showed that the ripening period from heading to maturity tended to be shorter during higher temperature treatment condition. The 1,000-grain weight, grain width, number of florets per spike, and number of grains per spike decreased as the ripening period was shortened. Gelatinization properties were affected by high temperature due to the reduction of starch and amylose contents. As the grain filling period was shortened by high temperature treatments, the crude protein content increased. As the grain filling period was shortened by 6 days, the starch and amylose contents decreased by 10.8% and 5.4%, respectively. However, the crude protein content increased by 1.7% in such a condition. Starch content showed positive correlations between amylose and breakdown. Meanwhile, it showed negative correlations between electric conductivity of leaching water from seeds, crude protein content, peak viscosity, trough viscosity, final viscosity, and setback.

‘Palbangmi’ is a super high-yield rice cultivar bred by interspecies cross between Tongil type and Africa rice. But, ‘Palbangmi’ has a problem in grain maturation which results in rice yield decreases. Because ‘Palbangmi’ is Tongil and Africa rice interspecies-crossed cultivar, it would be predicted to require higher temperature for grain maturation than japonica rice. Therefore, ‘Palbangmi’ would be required to determine Late Marginal Heading Date (LMHD) for normal maturation. In this study, experiment of transplanting date was carried out to determine LMHD of ‘Palbangmi’ in Suwon and Iksan for 3 years. When daily mean temperature was below 23oC, grain filling ratio (%) increased about 8% for each 1oC. On the other hands, grain filling ratio (%) didn't increase when the daily mean temperature was above 23oC. Therefore, it is determined that 23oC is adequate for minimum threshold temperature for grain maturation. The LMHD of ‘Palbangmi’ was determined from calculated heading dates for each year which could satisfy threshold temperature for 40 days after heading during last 15 years. As a results, LMHD was earlier than August 1 in 16 regions where it is inadequate for ‘Palbangmi’. Continually, LMHD was August 1 ~ August 5 in 13 regions, August 6 ~ August 10 in 14 regions and August 11 ~ August 15 in 21 regions. Finally, LMHD was later than August 15 in 14 regions. Considering that heading date of ‘Palbangmi’ is August 13 as mid maturing ecotype, it is suggested that earlier transplanting required for normal maturing in almost areas except south plain area and some areas of central plain area.

We investigate the change of leaf chlorophyll content according to iron content in brown rice when cultivated on the iron limited solid MS medium. By cultivating wild-type and transgenic brown rice in a solid MS medium, we confirmed that iron deficiency chlorosis did not occur in MS media which were contained over 20% of iron content compared to normal MS condition. After selecting twenty kinds of Korean rice varieties, those brown rice were cultivated in solid MS media which were contained from 0 to 15% of iron content compared to normal MS condition then the leaf chlorophyll content was measured. The leaf chlorophyll content was changed according to iron content in brown rice when cultivated in solid MS medium which was contained 0 and 5% of iron content,. There was a strong correlation between iron content in brown rice and leaf chlorophyll content cultivated in solid MS medium with 5% of Fe content. Therefore we expect that analysis of leaf chlorophyll content after cultivated on MS medium with 5% iron content compared to normal MS media condition will be more simple and effective method to screening high iron content brown rice without measurement of iron content.

This experiment was conducted to clarify the effect of the high temperature on physicochemical properties of barley kernels during ripening stage. High temperature treatment was lasted from each 10, 17 and 24 days after heading(DAH) until the harvest time at 21oC, 24oC, 27oC in artificial climate room. The results showed that ripening period from heading to maturity was tend to be shorter at higher temperature treatment condition and at longer duration treatment condition. and 1000-grain weight was decreased as the ripening period shortened. Furthermore, gelatinization properties was changed by high temperature due to the reduction of starch and amylose contents. As the shortening of grain filling period by a high temperature treatment, the protein content was increased. In the 10 DAH at 27oC treatment, the grain filling period was shortened by 9 days. The starch contents was reduced by 5.7 %, and the protein content was increased by 5.6 % in a such condition. Protein contents was showed negative correlations with amylose, starch contents and gelatinization properties, respectively. Starch contents, however, showed positive correlations with amlyose content and gelatinization properties.

Limonium tetragonum is a halophyte grown naturally in the coastal region in South Korea. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of salt concentrations on seed germination, seedling growth, and antioxidant capacity of L. tetragonum. Seeds were collected from naturally grown plants of L. tetragonum and those at full maturity were used in this experiment. All experiments were performed at 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, or 2.0% of salt concentrations. Seed germination rate was highest as 86% at 20℃ and followed as higher in order of 25℃, 30℃ and 15℃. The germination rate was about 80% at 0% or 0.5% of salt concentration, but it was very low at the salt concentrations higher than 1%. Growth of L. tetragonum seedlings showed no difference in Hoagland solution containing NaCl in the range of 0% to 1.0% and seedlings survived at 2.0% of NaCl concentration. As the salt concentration increased, the content of Na+ in the shoot increased, but that of K+, Ca++, or Mg++ decreased. The antioxidant activity and the content of total polyphenol and total flavonoid in the shoot were similar at 0% and 0.5% of NaCl and were highest at 2.0% of NaCl concentration. In conclusion, performance of seed germination and plant growth of L. tetragonum was highest at 0% and 0.5% of NaCl concentration, and showed no difference in antioxidant activity, total polyphenol contents, and total flavonoid contents at the same salt concentrations.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of high temperature on the stem, leaf and grain of barley during the ripening period and to provide information for the development of high-temperature cultivation techniques and adaptive varieties. We used an artificial climate control facility, to provide a temperature 3℃ higher than the normal average temperature during the ripening stage. Although the maximum rate of starch synthesis was increased at high temperature by approximately 11%, the starch content was decreased, because the period of starch synthesis ended 4 days earlier. As in the case of starch synthesis, the expression of genes related to starch synthesis was increased at the early ripening stage in the high temperature treatment, however, the duration of expression tended to decrease rapidly. Furthermore, the partitioning rate of assimilation products in the panicle increased to a greater extent in the high temperature treatment than in the control. In contrast, for the stem and leaf, the partitioning rate of assimilation products decreased more rapidly in the high temperature treatment than in the control. On the basis of these results, it can be considered that the translocation rate of assimilation products increased to a greater extent in the high temperature treatment than in the control at the early ripening stage. These results indicate that the decrease in grain weight at high temperature during the ripening stage is attributable to an increase in the speed of starch synthesis at high temperature, but the increase in ripening speed does not compensate for the shortening of the ripening period. Finally to develop varieties and cultivation techniques suited to high temperature, we need to focus on physiological characteristics related to the duration of starch synthesis.
