본 연구는 온도와 차광이 참나물 종자의 발아와 유묘의 생장에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 실험은 온도별(5oC, 10oC, 15oC, 20oC, 25oC, 30oC) 발아 시험과 차광별(무차광, 35% 차광, 50% 차광, 75% 차광) 생육 시험의 두 종류로 실시되었으며, 발아실험 전 종자는 0일, 20일, 40일로 각각 저온습윤 처리를 하였다. 발아율은 20일 저온습윤 처리의 5oC에서 48.3%로 가장 높았으며, 온도가 높아질수록 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 차광에 따른 초장, 엽면적, 엽장, 엽폭 등은 모두 50% 차광에서 각각 7.3cm, 12.8cm2, 5.4cm, 2.3cm로 가장 컸다. 특히, 뿌리는 35%와 50% 차광에서 생장이 좋았다. 지상부의 생체중은 50% 차광과 75% 차광에서 가장 높았으며, 건물중은 35% 차광과 50% 차광에서 높았다. 본 실험결과를 종합적으로 살펴보면, 참나물 유묘는 50% 차광을 유지하여 생육하는 것이 이식용 유묘 생산에 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 기능성 산채로서 수요가 확대되고 있는 곰취를 포장에서 본격적으로 생산하는데 필요한 이식용 유묘를 생산하는 과정에서 차광처리가 반음지식물인 곰취 유묘의 초기 생장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 실시하였다. 실험은 차광수준(전광 및 35, 50, 75, 95% 차광)을 달리하여 실시하였으며, 차광별 생장과 형태적 특성을 각각 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 곰취의 초장은 75%차광에서 17.3cm, 뿌리직경은 전광에서 2.13mm로 가장 높은 생장을 보인 것으로 조사되었다. 부위별(잎, 줄기, 뿌리) 및 전체 생체중은 모두 50% 차광에서 각각 1.784g, 1.330g, 0.791g, 3.905g으로 가장 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 건물중의 경우, 지상부(잎, 줄기)와 전체 건물중은 35% 차광에서, 뿌리는 전광에서 가장 높게 나타 났다. S/R율, 부위별(잎, 줄기, 뿌리) 및 전체 함수율은 모두 95% 차광에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 엽면적은 50% 차광에서 39.3cm2로 가장 높게 조사되었으며, SLA와 LAR은 차광 처리구에서 차광률이 높아질수록 증가하였다. 엽두께는 차광률이 높아질수록 얇아지는 경향을 보였다. 뿌리 특성에서는 95% 차광을 제외하고 전반적으로 좋은 생장을 보였으나 상대적으로 35~75% 차광에서 세근발달이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험결과를 종합적으로 살펴보면, 곰취의 유묘는 50% 차광처리하여 생육하는 것이 포장 이식용 유묘 생산에 보다 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 임산물 중 수요가 확대되고 있는 곰취 종자의 발아 특성을 구명하고자 실시되었으며, 이를 통하여 효율적인 종자 전처리 및 증식기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 실험은 두 종류로 진행되었는데, 온도(10, 15, 20, 25oC) 및 차광수준(전광, 35, 50, 75, 95%)에 따른 발아력을 조사하였다. 각 실험에 앞서 종자는 전처리를 받았는데, 온도실험에서는 0, 15, 30, 45 및 60일의 저온습윤 처리를, 차광수준 실험에서는 2일 동안 상온건조, 저온건조 및 수침처리를 실시하였다. 곰취 종자는 전처리에 관계 없이 상대적으로 낮은 온도인 10oC일 때 가장 발아가 잘 되었고, 온도가 높아질수록 발아율은 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 차광수준 실험에서는 전체 처리 중 75% 차광 내 상온건조 처리에서 발아율이 68.1%로 가장 높았으며, 95% 차광 내 수침처리에서 48.6%로 발아율이 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 한편, 차광수준 실험에서 95%에서는 발아 후 웃자라는 현상을 보였으며, 전광에서는 고사 피해가 관찰되었다. 따라서 본 실험의 결과를 종합하면, 곰취 종자는 전처리로 15일 정도의 저온습윤 저장을 하여 10oC 정도의 낮은 온도(시기)에 파종을 하고, 50~75% 정도의 차광처리를 하였을 때 가장 좋은 발아율 및 초기생장을 보일 것으로 판단된다.

Cloned calves derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) have been frequently lost by sudden death at 1 to 3 month following healthy birth. To address whether placental anomalies are responsible for the sudden death of cloned calves, we compared protein patterns of 2 placentae derived from SCNT of Korean Native calves died suddenly at two months after birth and those of 2 normal placentae obtained from AI fetuses. Placental proteins were separated using 2-Dimensional gel electrophoresis. Approximately 800 spots were detected in placental 2-D gel stained with coomassie-blue. Then, image analysis of Malanie III (Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics) was performed to detect variations in protein spots between normal and SCNT placentae. In the comparison of normal and SCNT samples, 8 spots were identified to be up-regulated proteins and 24 spots to be down-regulated proteins in SCNT placentae, among which proteins were high mobility group protein HMG1, apolipoprotein A-1 precursor, bactenecin 1, tropomyosin beta chain, H+-transporting ATPase, carbonic anhydrase II, peroxiredoxin 2, tyrosine-rich acidic matrix protein, serum albumin precursor and cathepsin D. These results suggested that the sudden death of cloned calves might be related to abnormal protein expression in placenta.

Background : This study was carried out to understand the effect of seedling weight (SW) on growth and flowering in Panax ginseng. Methods and Results : The testing materials were Chunpoong (CP), Yunpoong (YP) and Jakyeongjong (JK). The increase of seedling (1yr) weight led to an increase in ratio of flowering plant and in number of flower per plant. The seed setting rate of two year-old plant (CP, YP, JK) increased with increase of SW at the planting time (PT) and number of flower per plant of three year-old plant (CP, YP) increased also. In the two year-old plant (JK), the ratio of three leaves per plant was 8.8, 19.6, 31.0, 42.0, 44.7 and 58.2%, respectively, in the SW of >0.6, 0.6~0.8, 0.8~1.0, 1.02~1.2, 1.2~1.4 and 1.4g<. The growth of ginseng plant was good with increase of SW at the PT. Conclusion : There was a highly positive correlation between seedling weight and flowering characteristics.

Background : Acer pictum is a deciduous tree belonging to the family Aceraceae. This study was conducted to collect basic data on mass propagation techniques by surveying the germination and growth characteristics of A. pictum seeds. Methods and Results : A. pictum seeds were harvested in 2014 on August 19, September 5, September 29 and October 31. The seeds were then sown on the same dates they were harvested. A portion of seeds harvested in August 2014 were stored at low temperatures and subsequently sown on March 11, 2015. The germination rate of A. pictum seeds was highest in seeds that were stored harvested on October 31. Mean germination time (MGT) was shortest and germination velocity (Rs) was fastest in seeds harvested on October 31. Root collar diameter, total root length, and dry weight were also highest from seeds collected October 31. Conclusions : A. pictum seeds harvested on October 31 had highest germination and growth rates compared with seeds harvested on earlier dates. It is expected that these results demonstrating optimum harvesting and sowing dates will be applicable to future seedling production for this tree species.

Background : Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus, functional wild vegetable, is perennial herb and young leaves with soft texture are generally used as edible food. So the demand for the vegetable has increased recently. This study was carried out to determine the effects of temperature and shading on germination characteristics of A. dioicus. Methods and Results : The experiment was performed by temperature and shading treatments. Seed pre-treatment before the germination experiment was carried out by the storage in low temperature (4℃) under wet condition (LTW) for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days and shading treatment were 35%, 50%, and 75% under control, BA (6-benzyladenine) and GA3 (gibberellic acid) condition for 24 hours. Increasing the length of the storage periods led to increases seed germination percent in low temperature (4℃) under wet condition (LTW), germination rate of A. dioicus seed was the highest at 15℃ with 60 days of seed pre-treatment. In the case of seeds pre-treatment with LTW, the more temperature went up, the more days to 50% of Germination of Final Germination Rate (T50) went down. As a result of surveying shading treatment, germination rate was the highest in control of 35% shading and the next higher was in control of 50% shading. Conclusions : It is concluded that the temperature and shading are important factors to produce A. dioicus. Also, We suggest these results as basic data of A. dioicus for sexual propagation.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of light controls and leaf mold on root growth and physiological responses of Atractylodes japonica growing in forest farming. The experiment was performed by light controls (100%, 62.5%, 40.3% and 19.7% of full sunlight) and application of leaf mold to soil. Height, stem diameter, number of flower buds and root collar diameter were the highest in leaf mold within 62.5% of full sunlight (relative light intensity 62.5%). And these were the higher in leaf mold within each light level. As the shading level increased, light saturation point and maximum photosynthesis rate decreased. As the light level decreased, SPAD value increased in control and leaf mold. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, A. japonica was judged worse root growth under the lower light level. It was concluded that the light level was one of the most important factors to produce A. japonica. Also, producing high-quality of A. japonica with the price competitiveness by using leaf mold like the experiment can be an effective way to increase incomes for farmers.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the early growth and root development characteristics ofAtractylodes japonica container seedling. Experiment was performed by light intensity (100%, 60%, 25% and 10% of fullsunlight). Height was surveyed well under 25% of full sunlight (overall 11.013.0%). Root collar diameter was the highest inthe full sunlight (7.52㎜). It was the highest fresh weight (1.52g, 0.92g, 0.90g and 3.34g) under 25% of full sunlight, rootdry weight was getting higher in the higher light level and the highest in the full sunlight (0.13g). Total root length, rootproject area, root surface area and root volume were the highest under 25% of full sunlight (434.7㎝, 17.4㎠, 54.7㎠,0.55㎤, respectively) and the lowest under 10% of full sunlight. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, A. japonica isjudged nicely by maintaining 25% of full sunlight, excepting 10% of full sunlight. And light levels during the early growthare overly important to improve early growth.

We propose a formation-keeping and changing methods for outdoor multiple mobile robots in chained form. Our proposed method is designed to maintain the follower to its desired distance and orientation with respect to the pole using the concept of virtual force such as potential field. The client robots use a behavior-based control to perform kinematic control to keep formation under the centralized system in our software framework. The relationship of each poles that is expressed by set of distance and angle is the description of the formation type and the type converting is performed using this set. In addition, we also examine the stability and capability in the simulation and experiments with real robots.
