말채나무공깍지벌레의 계절적 발육을 2019년 6월 4일(약충) 부터 2020년 6월 25일까지(1세대 약충) 경상남도 사천시 소재의 블루베리 과 원에서 관찰하였다. 본 충의 발육을 연구하기 위해서 2018년 눈에서 발아한 5개 이상의 잔가지를 1주 간격으로 농가에서 채취하였다. 깍지벌레의 발육은 실체현미경 하에서 조사하였고 화학적 방제는 시중에서 이용할 수 있는 3종의 살충제로 블루베리 과원에서 수행하였다. 발육기간과 유효적산온도(Centigrade Degree-Days accumulation, DDC)에 대한 결과는 다음과 같다. 산란기간(최성기): 2020년 5월 12 -26일(DDC, 110.0-188.5(173.6)); 부화기간(최성기): 2020년 6월 9 - 23(19)일)(DDC, 325.2-480.8(435.6); 난기간: 26 일; 월동성충으로부터 약충의 신엽으로 이동: 2020년 6월 16-25 일(DDC, 410,5 - 500.4); 성충으로 발육하기 위한 잎에서 잔가지로 이동(최성기): 2020년 2월 4 -18(8)일. 성충 한 마리 당 산란수(범위): 956.8 ± 73.4 (13 - 3497); 알의 크기(mm): 0.29 ± 0.020(L), 0.15 ± 0.013(W); 부화약충의 크기: 0.35 ± 0.018(L), 0.18 ± 0.007(W), 0.09 ± 0.007(눈 간격); 성충크기: 4.30 ± 0.893(L), 2.64 ± 0.520(W). 월동성충으로부터 부화한 약충은 신초의 잎 뒷면에서 다음해 2월 초순 잎이 떨어질 때까지 약 95%가 발견되었다. 이들은 2령충으로 월동하고 1년에 한 세대를 경과하였다. 기어다니는 1령충을 방제 하기 위하여 3종의 살충제를 7월 16일과 30일에 거북밀깍지벌레에 등록된 농도로 처리하였다. 아세타미프리드수화제가 1회 처리 21일 후에 96.9%의 사충율을 나타내었다.

2017년부터 2019년까지 경남지역 여주(Momordica charantia L.)에서 13종의 해충을 조사하였다. 그 중 목화진딧물(Aphis gossypii Grover), 꽃노랑총채벌레(Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)), 대만총채벌레(Frankliniella intonsa (Trybom)), 목화바둑명나방(Diaphania indica (Sauder)), 담배거세미나방(Spodoptera litura (Fabricius))이 주요 해충이었으며, 중국청람색잎벌레(Chrysochus chinensis Baly), 파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua (Hübner)), 오이총채벌레(Thrips palmi Karny), 갈색날개매미충(Ricania sp.), 톱다리개미허리노린재(Riptortus clavatus Thunberg), 썩덩나무노린 재(Halyomorpha halys (Stål)), 담배장님노린재(Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reut.)), 풀색노린재(Nezara antennata Scott) 등이 일시적으로 발생하는 해충으로 조사되었다. 목화진딧물은 주로 여주의 신초에서 5월 상순부터 발생하기 시작하여 6월 하순까지 발생하며, 5월 하순에 발생최성기를 보였다. 꽃노랑총채벌레와 대만총채벌레는 주로 여주의 꽃에 발생하며 6월 중순에서 하순에 발생최성기를 보였다. 목화바둑명나방은 6월 하순, 담배거세미나방은 8월 하순에서 9월 상순에 발생최성기를 보였다. 여주에 발생하는 주요 해충과 발생소장을 구명하여 예찰 및 방제의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different thawing methods including; refrigerated at 4℃ for 6 hr, soaked in 15℃ water for 40 min, exposed to room temperature (25℃) for 4 hr, and microwaved (600 W) for 2 min on the water-soluble nutritional component and meat quality trait of Hanwoo beef. The thawing beef by the refrigerated method resulted in significantly lower cooking loss, drip loss and loss of water-soluble vitamin B group, whereas the water-soaked method had higher loss of vitamin B group (p<0.05). Furthermore, total aerobic counts and coliforms were significantly lower in the meat samples thawed by the refrigerated method than that in the samples thawed by the other methods when stored for 6 days at 4℃. However, the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) content was found significantly (p<0.05) higher in the microwaved method than that in the other thawing methods. Based on the results obtained in the present study, it is concluded that the thawing methods had remarkable impact on the water-soluble nutritional components, quality properties and storage stability of meat. Therefore, the present study recommends that the thawed meat needs to be consumed and should not be stored for long time due to the acceleration of its quality deterioration

Changbudodamhwan(CBH) is used in female infertility caused by ovulation disorder. An attempt was made to evaluate the influences of CBH on the serum concentrations of FSH, LH, estradiol(E2) and progesterone, the histological and optical changes of ovary, ovary weight of rats. The results of the study were as follows : 1. Blood FSH level increased experimental group as compared with control group, which showed no efficacy. 2. Blood LH level increased in experimental group as compared with control group, which showed no efficacy. 3. Blood E2 level increased in experimental group as compared with control group, which showed no efficacy. 4. Blood progesterone level increased in experimental group as compared with control group, which showed no efficacy. 5. In optically observations of ovary, weight of ovary increased in experimental group as compared with control group, which showed no efficacy. 6. In histological observations of ovary, ovulation increased in experimental group as compared control group, which showed efficacy

FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is major determinant of the length of the vegetative phase in plants. To understand the role of FT homologs in flowering time control of soybean, we identified ten soybean FT genes and named GmFTs. Expression analysis of GmFT homologs showed that the transcripts of most FT clade genes are mainly expressed in leaves. The expression of GmFT2a, GmFT2b, GmFT5a, and GmFT6 strongly induced in response to floral inductive short-day condition, but GmFT4 and GmFT6 exhibited opposite expression pattern. To understand the biological function of each GmFT/TFL1 genes in flowering time control, we ectopically expressed GmFT cDNAs in Arabidopsis under the control of CaMV 35S promoter. Interestingly, while 35S:GmFT2a and 35S:GmFT5a transgenic plant showed extremely early flowering phenotype, overexpression of GmFT4 delayed flowering. Furthermore we analyzed expression patterns GmFT genes in the leaves of Korean soybean landraces showing various flowering time. The results showed that the transcript level of two FT homologs, GmFT2a and GmFT5a, was high in early flowering landraces, but low in late flowering landraces. In contrast, GmFT4 exhibited opposite expression pattern to those of GmFT2a and GmFT5a, suggesting that GmFT4 may function antagonistically to GmFT2a and GmFT5a in flowering time control of soybean. These results demonstrated that soybean FT homologs have both unique and conserved functions in the photoperiodic control of flowering compared with those in Arabidopsis.
