국내 대학과 국립식량과학원 간의 협력 연구를 통해 확보된 32개 벼 형질전환 계통들에 대하여 주요 작물학적 특성및 수량성을 평가하였다. 이들 계통들은 수량성, 내병성, 스트레스저항성, 미질변이 등에 관여하는 17종의 유전자가 니폰바레, 낙동벼, 동진벼 등에 형질전환 되어 육성된 계통들이다. 주요 결과는 아래와 같다.1. 형질전환 계통들은 출수기, 간장, 수장, 수수 등의 주요작물학적 특성뿐만 아니라 수량성에서도 모품종과 상당한 차이를 보였다.2. 조사된 벼 형질 전환계통들에서 조사된 농업형질에 대한다변량분석 결과, 모품종에 비해 각 형질전환 계통군 내에서 관찰된 작물학적 상이성은 일정한 방향성이 없는무작위적이었으며, 그 변화폭도 3개의 모품종들의 작물학적 차이보다 훨씬 크게 관찰되었다.3. 따라서 우량 벼 형질전환 계통 육성의 효율성을 제고하기 위해서는 모품종에 형질전환 되어 발현될 유전자의우수성뿐만 아니라, 계통육성과정에서 다양한 유전학적요인에 의해 야기되는 ‘표현형 왜곡현상’을 적절히 제어할 수 있는 육종전략도 함께 고려되어야 할 것으로 사료되었다.

본 연구에서는 양파 채종재배 할 경우 차광망설치와 온실천창 개폐, 환기 조건이 양파 채종량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 연구이었다. 본 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. ‘6701’과 ‘6704’는 채종 방법에 따른 온실 온도의 차이에 대한 채종량은 10시경에 부의 상관관계를 보이나 시간이 지날수록 상관이 거의 없는 것으로 분석되었다. ‘6701’은 채종방법에 따른 온실 습도의 차이에 대한 채종량은 14시까지의 습도에 따라 고위정상관을 이루며 대부부분 상관이 없는 것으로 조사 되었다. ‘6701’과 ‘6704’는 채종방법에 따른 온실 광도의 차이에 대한 채종량은 대부분 부의 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 양파를 채종 할 경우에는 습도 관리가 영향이 크게 미치는 것으로 생각되었다.

Environmentally inflicted stress (abiotic stress) such as high drought stress could be limiting the plant productivity. The mechanism of drought stress signaling in plant related with anti-apoptosis has not yet been full described. Understanding drought stress signaling is key to producing drought-tolerant plant. In this study we recently have identified Oryza sativa genes related abiotic stress water deficit. Abiotic stress related genes were screened from Oryza sativa cDNA library and identified gene by yeast functional screening. The yeast expression showed that they east cell grow well on SD-galactose-Leu-Ura-. The screening of over than 7000 clones from Oryza sativa cDNA libraries has been identified. 28 clones that survived following BAX-expression on inducible galactose medium. R12H780 clones confirmed protein prediction like putative senescence-associated-protein. This gene contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 108 amino acids. Transcription of R12H780 was induced in response to drought stresses, RT-PCR analysis showed transcript level in plant strongly detected in earliest time of drought stress treatment. Yeast transformed with R12H780 gene displayed markedly improved tolerance to PEG treatment, and high salinity in comparison to the control yeast (vector only). The results indicate R12H780 expression represents a new type of drought stress related gene with anti-apoptotic in Oryza sativa and endows tolerance to several types abiotic stress.

The significance of genetic stability and bio-safety environment has been recently recognized by many GM plants. This study was to evaluate the GM stability of transgenic rice and to identify the environment variance. The GM rice of vitamin A　-enriched rice and four check cultivars were analyzed the data on agronomic characters and principal component for 2009-2011 in large-GM crop field. Cultivation environment was conducted in the large-GM field and greenhouse to determine grain characters. In this experiment, there was no significant difference in agronomic characters between GM rice of vitamin A-enriched rice and a donor plant, Nagdong. Related to grain characters, grain appearance and physicochemical characteristics were similar to GM rice of vitamin A-enriched rice and a donor plant, Nagdong. However, grain appearance in GM rice of vitamin A-enriched rice showed to white core and white belly when GM rice of vitamin A-enriched rice was planted in greenhouse. The type and distribution of dominant weed species also were not different from GM rice of vitamin A-enriched rice and a donor plant, Nagdong. Additionally that of gene flow was not detected in dominant weed species by PCR analysis.

This study was carried out to determine the contents of antioxidant activity of colored rice lines which derived from a mutant of MGI079 induced by MGI079 tissue culture in rice (Oryza sativa L.). The antioxidant activities were evaluated by assaying polyphenol, flavonoid, DPPH free radical and color values of colored rice lines, respectively. Among 8 lines including Heugnam of colored rice, the 70% ethanol extracts decreased in the order of MGI079-2-1>MGI079-2-6>MGI079-2-R,Heugnam>MGI079-1-R>MGI079-2-1>MGI079, MGI079-1-1, MGI079-1-6. The rice lines of highest polyphenolic compound was MGI079-2-6 and the next were Heugnam, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-2-1, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-1-1, MGI079, MGI079-OP-R with the order of higher content. The flavonoid was higher in order of MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6, Heugnam, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-OP-R, MGI079, MGI079-1-1. The DPPH free radical was higher in order of MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6, Heugnam, MGI079-1-6, MGI079-1-1, MGI079-2-R, MGI079-1-R, MGI079-OP-R, MGI079. For chromaticity, a negative correlation was exhibited between the color value and the 70% ethanol extracts, polyphenolic compound, flavonoid, DPPH free radical. The grain characters in brown rice of a mutant of MGI079 showed similar to that of a donor plant, MGI079. Whereas, chemical characteristics of brown rice in two colored rice lines(MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6) were lower in amylose and lipid contents and were higher four times in zinc that of a donor plant, MGI079. Two colored rice lines(MGI079-2-1, MGI079-2-6) showed relatively high antioxidative activity in every results of antioxidant activity tests.

This study was carried out to develop expressed sequence tag-Simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers of brown plant hopper resistance gene originated from a rice cultivar ‘Cheongcheong’ and sensitive rice cultivar ‘Nakdong’. Total RNA extracted from the leaves of ‘Cheongcheong’ and ‘Nakdong’ were used to synthesize a cDNA library. As a result of analyzing the cDNA library, EST-SSR sites were found and the EST-SSR primer sets were developed. This study enables to provide effective marker assisted selection (MAS) methods on the selection of white-backed planthopper resistance gene originated from a rice cultivar more simply, quickly and precisely. Furthermore, using this marker’s advantage of deriving from cDNA, it is possible to identity the white-backed planthopper resistance gene.

Amylose content of rice endosperm is one of the determinants of rice eating quality. This study was conducted to elucidate the mode of inheritance of dull gene in Milyang262, tentatively designated as du7(t), and to identify the molecular marker for du7(t) to be employed in marker-assisted breeding and gene pyramiding. Genetic analysis was carried out on F2 population derived from a cross between Junam and Milyang262. The low amylose content of Milyang262 was indicated to be under single recessive control. Allelism tests were as well conducted by crossing Milyang262 with Baegjinju and Baegokchal, which harbor du1 and wx gene, respectively. du7(t) was demonstrated to be inherited independently to du1 and wx. F2 population of Baegokchal/Milyang262 was used for molecular mapping. Linkage analysis was conducted on a population consisted of 120 individuals by several SSR markers. Initial mapping indicated that du7(t) is located on the end of long arm of chromosome 6 between SSR marker RM20590 and RM3509. To fine map the gene, a bigger population and several additional markers were employed. du7(t) was further mapped to a 1.74 Mb region between two SSR markers (RM6926 and RM412). Furthermore, we indentified three SSR markers that co-segregated with du(t) i.e. RM6811, RM3765, and RM176.

In this study the evaluation of technologies for standardization in foundation structures are done. For this, reliablity-based methods of investiugation data analysis are suggested in this paper.

This study was carried out to investigate the physiochemical and microbiological changes of dandelion during fermentation. Thirty and fifty percentage raw sugar groups (SFE30 and SFE50) were introduced into dandelions and fermented for 120 days at 15-20℃. This study was conducted to investigate the utilization of sucrose on lactic acid bacteria from dandelions and their effect on the pH, titratable acidity, microorganism and formation of organic acids in dandelions during fermentation. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased remarkably up to 15 days of fermentation and then decreased rapidly thereafter. The maximum number of lactic acid bacteria, 7.9 log CFU/mL was reached at pH 4.17 and the pH of dandelion showed a slight decrease during fermentation and decreased steadily up to 90 days to reach an optimum pH of 4.0. The titratable acidity of dandelions fermented increased during fermentation. The concentration of organic acid, amino acid and free sugar in SFE30 was higher than both SFE50 and DWE. The results of dandelions fermented were remarkably retarded in the 50% raw sugar group compared to the 30% raw sugar group.

The present study researched morphological characteristics and analyzed the genetic diversity by using RAPD in Calanthe species, native plant in Jeju, Korea. Twenty-six samples were selected by flower color, and 19 horticultural traits were investigated to study morphological characteristics. The C. discolor had the smallest leaf, the length and width of dorsal sepal, lateral sepal, petal, central lip, lateral lip, and flower stalk length were shortest and/or smallest except the spur and ovary length in Calanthe species, but those of Calanthe discolor for. sieboldii (Dence.) Ohwi (Calanthe discolor for. sieboldii) were the largest and/or biggest, and those of variants were the intermediate between C. discolor and C. discolor for. sieboldii, but spur length was the longest in C. discolor, the shortest in C. discolor for. sieboldii, and intermediate in the variants. Ovary length in C. discolor was shortest and C. discolor for. sieboldii and variants were similar with each other. The flower colors of C. discolor were brownish red, the value of CIE Lab was between 40 and 50. The flower color of C. discolor for. sieboldii was yellowish; the value of CIE Lab was between 110 and 130. And variants had various colors between 50 and 70 in the value of CIE Lab. After analyzing multiple band patterns of PCR products, 154 bands were selected as polymorphic RAPD markers. The analysis of Genetic distance of Calanthe species using RAPD showed that C. discolor and C. discolor for. sieboldii are more distant from each other than variants, and demonstrated the fact that genetic position of variants is between the other two species.

Somaclones regenerated from seed-derived callus culture of a rice cultivar, 'Ilpum', were evaluated for the agronomic and morphological characteristics. A total of 424 plants regenerated and the seeds collected from 297 lines were used for further analysis on morphological and agronomic traits. The results indicated that 21.5% (64 lines) of progenies showed significant differences from the donor cultivar 'Ilpum'. Somaclonal variations were induced leaf character, plant height, grain characters, heading date, and sterility. Among the variants, 8% (24 lines) of sterility, 1.4% (4 lines) of dwarf/semi dwarf, 1.7% (5 lines) of opaque, and 1.3% (4 lines) of leaf-rolling phenotypes were observed. The highest frequency of somaclonal variation was observed on heading date which occupied 9.1% (27 lines) of the entire lines included 6.4% (19 lines) of early heading and 2.7% (8 lines) of late heading. These results suggest that the somaclonal variation will be one of the promising genetic resources due to its wide variation and comparatively high frequency of mutation.

This study was carried out to select randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers associated with grain weight of a large-grain mutant, Hyacp 39-26-1, derived from anther culture of a rice cultivar, 'Hwayeongbyeo'. The segregation mode for grain weight in an F2 population from a cross, 'Hwayeongbyeo/Hyacp 39-26-1', showed a nearly normal distribution. One hundred and ninety-one F2 plants ranged from 21.8 g to 34.7 g in 1,000-grain weight with a mean of 26.8 g. Five hundred and twenty primers were used to detect the RAPD markers associated with the grain weight of the large-grain mutant. Of these primers, 54 primers showed polymorphism between 'Hwayeongbyeo' and 'Hyacp 39-26-1'. Four RAPD markers (OPB18, OPH07, OPT20, and OPX20) were significantly related to the grain weight of twenty one F3 lines derived from the cross, 'Hwayeongbyeo/Hyacp 39-26-1'. This RAPD marker could facilitate the early and efficient selection of high-yield lines through improvement of grain weight in rice.
