억새 수집종의 초장 길이를 조사한 결과, 개화 전과 후 전체 생육기간 동안 200 cm 이상 우량한 생육을 나타낸 개체 자원은 India에서 수집한 억새 MS013이며, 개화 후에는 MS005, MS010, MS011, MS014 억새도 200 cm 이상의 생육을 보여주었다. 대부분의 억새 수집종의 경우 분얼수가 2-3개 정도로 나타났다. 엽장의 길이가 100 cm 이상인 수집종은 MS001, MS002, MS005, MS012, MS013, MS014로 6종이며, 엽폭은 1-2 cm 사이가 63%이상으로 대부분의 수집종들이 이에 속하였으며, MS002, MS003, MS005 억새의 엽폭은 2 cm 이상으로 잎이 넓은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. MS005 억새는 초장, 간경, 마디수, 분얼수 뿐만 아니라, 엽장, 엽폭에 있어서도 다른 지역에서 수집한 억새보다 수치가 높은 것을 확인하였으며 바이오에너지용 억새로서의 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

‘봄내엽1호’ 들깨 품종은 강원대학교 농장에서 2006년에서 2008년에 걸쳐 파종과 계통선발을 통해 육성하였다. 품종의 특성검정은 2006년부터 2008년까지 들깨의 적정 재배조건 아래서 3회에 걸쳐 조사하였다. ‘봄내엽1호’ 들깨 품종은 대조 품종보다 경장이 크고, 화방군수와 화방군당삭수가 많으며 잎색은 대조품종에 비해 진한 녹색을 띤다. 정유 성분 분석결과 ‘봄내엽1호’ 들깨잎의 주요성분으로는 Perilla ketone, Beta-caryophyl

The aim of this investigation was to examine the influence of extrusion on dietary fiber profile and the contentof bioactive compounds, rutin and quercetin in young sprout, whole seed, and matured stem of Tartary buckwheat.WSI(water soluble index) is increased by a function of both screw profile and process temperature, compared to control indifferent parts of Buckwheat. Also, WSI of ME is increased more than 5.2 times in grain, compared to that of control. Theeffect of precooking by extrusion on the dietary fiber profile of buckwheat flour was evaluated. Precooking by extrusion sig-nificantly increased SDF in flour, although in most cases extrusion decrease in TDF a little. The thermo-mechanical treat-ment undergone by the buckwheat flour during extrusion led to redistribute part IDF fraction to SDF, leading to an increasein the latter. The content of rutin was increased about two fold in extruded flour of sprout, compared to in control. Thisincrease maybe why these compounds are released from cell wall by high shear processing under high temperature.

Objectives The objective of our research was to establish the gene transformation, expression and characterization system in transgenic Codonopsis lanceolata. Materials and methods Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA 4404/ binary vector pYBI121Regeneration of transgenic shoots: MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/ℓ NAA and 1 mg/ℓ BAP, 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar at pH 5.8. Agrobacterium cell density OD 600 between 0.8 and 1.0, Infection: 5 minutes DNA isolation and Polymerase chain reaction: DNA was extracted from young leafs excised from kanamycin resistant shoots. Two primers used for PCR amplification of the 700 bp of the npt II gene were N 1 (5′ GAA GCT ATT CGG CGG CTA TGA CTG 3′) as a sense primer and N 2 (5′ ATC GGG AGC GGC GGC GAT ACC CTA 3′) as a anti sense primer. Result and Discussion Adventitious shoots regenerated 3 weeks after Agrobacterium infection on regeneration medium containing 0.1 mg/ℓ NAA and 1 mg/ℓ BAP, 100 mg/ℓ kanamycin 250 mg/ℓ cefatoxime. Numerous adventitious shoot inductions of putative transformants were observed from the cut surface of explants which initially resembled knob like structure and later developed into new plant. PCR analysis of showed the expected bands of npt II gene. PCR analysis was carried out to confirm the insertion of the npt II gene in the genome of transformed plant. The expected amplified npt II fragments of size 700 bp was found in the T0 transformed plants, indicating the integration of npt II gene.
