2017년 국내 육성 사과 ‘아리수’ 품종에서 노린재류에 의한 피해와 유사한 반점 증상이 확인되었다. 사과 과실 전면에 발생하는 이 반점 증상은 크기가 2∼4 mm이며 진한 갈색, 짙은 고동색으로 반점 중심부가 약간 함몰되는 형태를 가진다. 이 연구는 이러한 반점증상의 원인이 노린재에 의한 피해인지 여부를 알기 위해 수행하였다. 노린재류는 접종 전 채집하였고, 6월 초순부터 ‘아리수’ 사과에 약 15일 간격으로 썩덩나무노린재와 갈색날개노린재를 각각 접종하였다. ‘아리수’ 사과의 수확기인 9월 초순까지 총 5회(6월 상순, 7월 상순, 7월 중순, 8월 상순, 8월 중순) 접종하였으며, 접종후 접종시기별로 피해 양상을 확인하였다. 6월 상순에 노린재에 의해 가해 받은 과실은 비대하지 못하거나 낙과하였다. 다른 시기에 노린재에 의해 가해 받은 접종 1~2일후 흡즙구멍을 확인할 수 있었고, 5일 후부터는 가해 받은 부위 주변이 붉게 착색되는 halo 증상이 나타났다. 노린재류에 의한 ‘아리수’ 사과의 피해양상은, 기 보고된 ‘후지’ 품종에서의 피해양상과 거의 유사하였다. 실험결과 2017년 ‘아리수’ 사과에 발생한 반점증상은 노린재에 의한 것이 아님을 확인할 수 있었다.

현재 조림지에서 포트묘를 식재하는데 동력식혈기나 식재도구가 주로 이용된다. 동력 식혈기의 경우 에는 엔진이 일반적으로 많이 사용되고, 식재도구는 삽이나 포트묘용 식재기, 굴취봉 또는 호미들을 주 로 사용한다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 경사지고 험준한 산림지형에서 이용하기에는 인건비와 생산성 등 에 문제가 있다. 이와 같은 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 동력의 장점과 도구의 편리성을 감안하여 배터리 와 DC motor 및 스크류를 이용한 새로운 경량 식혈기를 개발할 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 경량 식혈기 는 무게를 5kgf 내외로 가볍게 하기 위해서는 굴취력이 뛰어난 스크류의 개발이 매우 중요하다. 또한 스크류의 굴취력은 DC motor와 배터리의 용량을 결정하는 요인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 경량화 된 식혈기를 개발하기 위해 포트묘 식재에 적용할 수 있는 소형과 중형 스크류 5종(길이 170㎜, 피치 3.0∼4.0개, 그리고 나선각 15°~20°)에 대해 이론 회전력을 산출하여 모터와 감속기의 용량을 설정하 고, 실제 토양에 적용하여 최대 회전력을 구명하였다.

The aim of this paper is to consider the effect of the manufacturing processes on corrosion and centerline cracking of ancient bronze spoons. The ancient bronze spoons in question were made by several steps of forging, in reheated condition with cast ingots. The manufacturing method is similar to that of the modern spoons. The investigations include observations from light and scanning electron microscopes of the microstructure in terms of the crack propagation. Cracks in the centerline are caused by solute segregation in the center-line region; this solute is solidified in the final stage of bronze spoon manufacture. Centerline cracking is also caused by α phase segregation, accompanied by forged overlapping along the longitudinal direction of the spoons. A vertical stripe with cracks along the centerline of the spoon’s width is formed by folding in the wrought process. The overlapping area causes crack propagation with severe corrosion on the spoon surfaces over a period of a thousand years. The failure mechanisms of ancient bronze spoons may be similar to that of modern spoons, and the estimation of the failure mechanisms of ancient spoons can be appropriate to determine failure causes for such modern spoons.

In this study, silk sericin solutions and films were prepared with different solvents: formic acid and water. Also, silk sericin film from aqueous solution was prepared at different casting temperature. Regardless of solvent type, silk sericin solutions showed a shear thinning implying highly molecular entangled state of silk sericin. Silk sericin aqueous solution showed a higher turbidity than that of formic acid solution. Silk sericin aqueous solution showed shorter gelation time than formic acid. FTIR results showed β-sheet crystallization of silk sericin was affected by casting solvent and temperature. Silk sericin film from aqueous solution showed more β-sheet conformation as the casting temperature was decreased. Silk sericin film from formic acid showed higher crystallinity index than silk sericin films cast from aqueous solution. XRD diffraction measurement showed similar results to those of FTIR. In case of mechanical properties, tensile strength of sericin film from formic acid was higher than sericin films from aqueous solution.

Presently, We have constructed an olig-d(T) primed directional cDNA library from the silkworm Dongchunghacho, an entomopathogenic fungus, of which species is belonging to Paecilomyces tenuipes Jocheon-1. To isolate and screen genes in the fungus, 626 expressed sequence tags(ESTs) were generated by a partial sequencing from the cDNA library. Paecilomyces tenuipes Jocheon-1 cDNA encoding the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(Pt-GAPDH) of Paecilomyces tenuipes Jocheon-1 was cloned from the above cDNA library. The complete cDNA sequence of Pt-GAPDHis comprised of 1,014bp encoding 338 amino acid residues. The deduced protein sequence of Pt-GAPDH showed higher homology with Beauberia bassiana-GAPDH(93% amino acid identity). Hydropathy analysis revealed that Pt-GAPDH protein is hydrophilic. The major three amino acids in its composition of amino acid residues were alanine(11.54%), valine(9.47%) and glycine(8.88%). The cDNA encoding Pt-GAPDH was expressed as a 37 kDa polypeptide in baculovirus-infected insect Sf9 cells. The Pt-GAPDH gene of Paecilomyces tenuipes entomopathogenic fungus consisted of three exons and two introns coding for 338 amino acid residues, and the genomic DNA length of the gene spans 1302bp. The accession number of the gene in GenBank are GU997099 for Pt-GAPDH cDNA and GU997102 for Pt-GAPDH genomic DNA.

Although whole crop barley are now widely grown as a silage crop in Korea, but silage quality of the whole crop barley produced from farmer's fields have not been published. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to evaluate forage quality of whole crop barley which was participated in Korean quality contest in 2008. These data were classified by region, forage production, added inoculants, planting date and harvest date. Difference on lactic acid of barley silage was detected in the region (p＜0.05), however, there no significant differences in other chemical composition. The moisture and lactic acid were significant differences in dry matter yield of barley silage. There is all the difference between silage added inoculants and control. Differences between planting dates in ash and crude protein (CP) were detected in barley silage (p＜0.05). From comparison within harvest date, lactic acid ㏊d significant differences among barley silage. Differences in forage quality were observed among whole crop barley for silage. Therefore, nutritional quality as well as lactic acid is important in silage quality contest of whole crop barley.

A full genomic DNA microarray technique was employed to investigate the effects of Dongchunghacho on aortal and hepatic gene expression in apolipoprotein E knockout mice fed a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet. Male 8- week - old ApoE-/- mice were randomly divided into two groups, control(high cholesterol group; HC) and supplementation of Dongchunghacho (SD). All of the mice were fed a high-fet/high cholesterol diet with or without Dongchunghacho supplemented by 1% for 6 weeks. At first, lipid profile of the Dongchunghacho was measured by biochemical analysis. No differences were observed in serum triglyceride and total cholesterol levels between the two groups. Antigenotoxic effect of the Dongchunghacho was measured by the single cell gel electrophoresis assay (Comet assay) and quantified as % fluorescence in tail. Dongchunghacho supplementation decreased significantly leukocytic DNA damage and also there was a tendency of reduction in hepatic DNA damage in Dongchunghacho group compared with the control group. In up regulated genes in liver and aorta of the mice, genes with 0 to 2- fold difference in expression level between the two group (HD and SD) was very much more in liver than in aorta, on the contrary, those with 2-fold to 16-flod difference increased greatly rather in aorta than in liver. Also, almost the same results were observed in down regulated genes in liver and aorta between the two groups. These results suggested that supplementation of Dongchunghacho might be helpful in preventing leukocytic DNA damage induced by high fat diet, and has a more crucial roles in aortal gene expression.

Sclerodermus harmandi populations were collected from 6 Korean regions (Seoul, Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, Gyeonasang and Jeju provinces), 1 Chinese region (Nanjing) and 1 Japanese region (Tokyo). Above all was identified as the same species based on morphological characteristics. In present study, we compared the intra-specific characteristics of regional isolated populations of S. harmandi based on nucleotide and amino acid sequences of variant genomic and mitochondrial loci: the full length of internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2 (ITS1 & ITS2), the complete cytochrome oxidase subunit I and II (COI & COII) and tRNA genes for aspartate and lysine and 5'end of ATPase 8 genes. There were no significant differences among the analysed 9 populations regardless of regional segregation. The nucleotide and translated amino acid sequences similarities were significantly high, despite some sequence differences were found in same loci. This result support the report based on the morphological characteristics. However, we are conducting further study to identify whether sequence differences in specific loci are the characteristics of individual level in population or population level and to analyse the full sequences of mitochondrial DNA by regional segregation.
