As a preceding study for investigating the influence of sound wave stimulus on Arabidopsis thaliana metabolomics, the polar secondary metabolomes of the plant were determined using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 10 polar secondary metabolomes were characterized and quantified. Among them, 4 metabolomes, p-coumaroylagmatine isomer (7 and 8), p-coumaroylagmatine isomer (9 and 10) were identified in the plant for the first time. The validation was conducted in terms of linearity, recovery, precision, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). The validated method was applied to the simultaneous quantification of the 10 polar secondary metabolomes.

본 연구는 친환경적으로 시금치 노균병을 방제하기 위하여 식물정유, 길항미생물 및 난황유의 병발생 억제효과를 검정하여 화학농약 대신에 이용할 수 있는 친환경제제로서의 가능성을 검토하였다. 5종의 식물정유 가운데 노균병 방제효과는 1회 처리구와 1주 간격 2회 처리구 모두 Eucalyptus approximans 오일의 병원균 억제효과가 60% 정도로 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 토양에서 선발된 길항균 세 종류의 시금치 노균병 방제효과는 모두 20% 이하로 식물정유 처리보다 낮게 나타났다. 난황유 0.3%와 0.5%농도에서 1주일간격 2회 처리구에서 병원균 억제율이 각각 84.5%와 91.5%로 억제되어 가장 효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Dipterans are excellent insects to serve as forensic indicators to determine the postmortem interval of a human corpse. Therefore, we undertook a study to identify the major dipterans that are attracted to and develop in vertebrate carcasses. To determine what dipterans occur in Korea, chicken carcasses were placed in various habitats including the forest, open field, stream bank, greenhouse, rooftop, rice paddy, Chinese cabbage field, vacant hut, and pond at different times of the year. The dipterans were collected at various time intervals after placement in each habitat until the end of decomposition and identified. Our results showed that 49 identified and unidentified dipteran species from 36 genera in 19 families were collected from the carcasses. Habitat placement influenced the number of species isolated from the carcasses. For example, 39 species were collected from the forest habitat, 28 species from the open field, stream bank, or greenhouse each, 16 species from a vacant home, and 12 species from the pond. The dipteran species that were collected from all habitats were Phaenicia sericata, Lucilia illustris, and Lucilia sp. in the family Calliphoridae and Boettcherisca peregrine in the family Sarcophagidae. Other dipteran species that were isolated depended on carcass placement that is, fewer dipteran species were observed from carcasses in the backpack and much more species were recorded from unburied carcasses than buried carcasses. P. sericata, L. illustris, Lucilia sp., B. peregrine and an unidentified sarcophagid species were observed year round, but some dipterans showed seasonal differences.
