온주밀감 60품종에 대하여 착색 개시기에 과즙의 플라보노 이드 조성 및 함량을 분석하고 품종들과의 연관관계를 조사하 였다. 온주밀감 과즙에서는 flavanones에 속하는 narirutin, hesperidin과, flavones인 rutin, polymethoxylated flavones 인 sinensetin, tangeretin, nobiletin 등 6종을 함유하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 온주밀감 과즙 중에는 narirutin, hesperidin 함량이 가장 높아 대표적인 기능성 성분으로 나타났으며, 기능 성이 우수한 polymethoxylated flavones인 sinensetin, tangeretin, nobiletin도 함유하고 있었다. Hesperidin 함량 범위는 41~196 ㎎/L로, narirutin 함량은 25~230 ㎎/L로 나타났다. Rutin 함 량은 평균 2.2 ㎎/L로 미량이 검출되었고 일부 품종에서는 전혀 검출이 이루어지지 않았다. 감귤에 특이적으로 나타나는 polymethoxylated flavones류인 sinensetin, nobiletin, tangeretin 은 미량이지만 모든 품종에서 검출되었다. 온주밀감 과즙 중에 함유된 플라보노이드 조성 및 함량과 품종의 수확기와의 연관 성을 분석하고자 R 프로그램으로 계층적 군집분석을 실시한 결 과, 플라보노이드 성분별 함량에 따라 A, B1, B2 집단으로 구분 할 수 있었으나 세집단 모두에서 극조생온주밀감, 조생온주밀 감, 보통온주밀감이 산재하여 있어 착색개시기 과즙 중 플라보 노이드 분포와 과실의 성숙기와는 관련성이 적은 것으로 나타 났다.

Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) play a crucial role in the processing quality of wheat flour. They are encoded multi gene family located at the Glu-A3, Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 on the short arm of chromosome 1A, 1B and 1D respectively. Typical LMW-GSs are composed of three parts including a short N-terminal domain, a relatively short repetitive domain and a C-terminal domain. Further, typical LMW-GS sequences are divided into LMW-s, LMW-m and LMW-i types, on the basis of the first amino acid of the mature proteins (serine, methionine and isoleucine, respectively). Although it is known that the allelic variation of LMW-GSs affect the properties of dough, it is still not clear which LMW-GSs confer better bread-making quality because of the larger number of expressed subunits and their overlapping mobility with abundant gliadin proteins. Therefore, it is important to characterize LMW-GS genes and develop functional markers to identify different LMW-GS alleles for application in wheat breeding. In this review, we discuss the various aspects of LMW-GS, including their structural characteristics, the development of marker, relationship between LMW-GSs and bread wheat quality, and genetic engineering of the LMW-GSs.

This study evaluated the effect of organic fertilizer on the yield of sesame and the movement of nitrogen and carbon in soil under mulching cultivation. The seven fertilizer treatments investigated are as follows: 1) 8-4-9 kg N-P2O5-K2O 10a-1-control, 2) 80% of control treatment N from mixed expeller cake (MEC)-MEC 80%, 3) 100% of control treatment N from MEC-MEC 100%, 4) 80% of control treatment N from mixed organic fertilizer (MOF)MOF 80%, 5) 100% of control treatment N from MOF-MOF 100%, 6) 80% of control treatment N from latex coated urea complex fertilizer (LCU)-LCU 80%, and 7) no nitrogen. The soil mineral N available in the applied organic MEC and MOF fertilizers was less than the available N in the applied urea fertilizer during the early growth stage of sesame but the amount was observed to increase with time. The concentration of nitrate-N in leached solution 35 days after application was highest at 75 mg l-1 in the control, followed in descending order by MEC 100%, MOF 100%, LCU 80%, MOF 80% and MEC 80%. The concentration of nitrate-N in the leachate in all treatments was observed to rapidly decrease 45 days after fertilizer application and recorded at less than 20 mg l-1 65 days after application. The concentration of dissolved organic carbon in the leached solution and organic carbon in the soil of the organic fertilizer plots was higher than in the urea- and LCU-fertilized plots during the whole growing period. The yields of sesame applied with MEC and MOF organic fertilizers were 2 to 7% higher than those fertilized with urea. The amount of retained mineral N or organic carbon in the soil is higher in the LCU and organic fertilizer plots than in the urea-fertilized treatments, which resulted in the reduction of nitrate leaching, increasing N efficiency and sesame yield.

Ammonia (NH3 ) volatilization from a silty clay loam paddy soil applied with non, straight urea, and coated urea, respectively, under transplanting in Milyang, Korea from 2002 and 2003 was simulated by a Water and Nitrogen Management Model (WNMM). Based on the data from the in-situ measurements, NH3 volatilization during the rice growth was 6.04% and 1.46% of the applied nitrogen (N) from straight urea and coated urea, respectively. The bulk aerodynamic approach in WNMM satisfactorily predicted the difference in NH3 loss during the given rice growing seasons from the two urea fertilizers. R2 for the correlation between the predicted and observed NH3 loss during the calibration year (2002) was 0.53 less than 0.68 of the application year (2003). This difference could be due to the weather condition such as heavy rainfall and temperature during the calibration year.
