This is presented general consideration for the establishment and management of germ-plasm collection. The topics addressed concern the establishment of the collection, the acquisition andentry of the plants into the collection, germplasm health issues, a presentation of the various conserva-tion methods available to germplasm collections and collection management procedures. Many impor-tant varieties of field, horticultural, root and tuber crops are ether difficult or impossible to conserve asseeds or reproduce vegetatively. Genetic resources of such plant species are generally conserved in fieldgenebanks. field genebanks provide easy and ready access to conserved material for research as well asfor use. For a number of plant species the alternative methods have not been fully developed so that theycan be effectively used. For many species, field genebank is one of the components of complementarystrategy for the conservation of vegetative germplasm. Despite the importance that field genebank playsin conservation of plant genetic resources, the concepts and scientific principles for establishing andmanaging field genebanks are not very well understood by many plant genetic resources workers. Plant-ing a few plants or tree does not constitute a field genebank. There is more science to it that is needed forcontinue maintenance of genetic diversity in the accessions planted in the field as well as to utilize thediversity being thus maintained. It is well recognized that an appropriate collection and conservationstrategy for a particular plant gene pool requires a holistic approach, combining the different ex situ con-servation techniques available in a complementary manner. Ex situ methods are options available for thedifferent genepool elements that are cultivated species, including landraces and modern varieties, wildrelatives, weedy types, etc. Vegetative germplasm has been maintained in field genebanks may be lostbecause of mite infestations or microbial infections. The level of duplication may also depend on theholdings of other genebanks. Accessions available at another genbank may require fewer duplicates thanunique samples

베트남은 지형학적으로나 기후대가 아주 다양하게 분포함에 따라 생물다양성이 풍부한 국가이다. 생물다양성확보와 유전자원의 안전보존을 위해서 1987년에 베트남 농업 연구청 소속 식물유전자원센터를 설립하여 1996년에 확대 개편하여 운영하고 있다. 베트남 유전자원센터의 정식명칭은 Center of Plant Genetic Resources(PGR)이고, 식물 유전자원의 효율적인 관리를 위해서 지역 연구소를 중심으로 관리기관을 지정하여 식물 다양성 확보, 식물 유전자원 보존 활용을 위한 기술개발 을 촉진하고 있다. 베트남의 국가관리 체계내의 관리기관들은 유용한 유전자원의 수집 관리를 위한 임무를 부여 받았다. 즉 식물자원 센터는 관리체계내의 관리기관의 업무를 조정하고21개 유전자원 관리기관이 맡은 작물을 확실히 관리하여 식물유전자원 유지할 수 있게 할 책임이 있다. 베트남에서 식물 유전자원은 약 300종(species) 25,000점(accessions)이 포장, 기내 및 종자 상태로 보존되어 있는데 매년 500점 이상의 식물자원이 수집되고 1,000점 정도가 분양되어 활용되고 있다. 지난 15년 동안 식물 유전자원센터 소속 관리기관에서 식물 유전자원 보존과 실제적인 이용은 향상되었고, 식물유전자원의 현지 보존도 증가하였으며, 농민과 연계한 현지 보존은 재래종 유전자원의 활용을 촉진시킬 뿐만 아니라 선발 육종으로 이용하고 있다. 그러나 저장시설의 열악성, 포장보존 수집 유전자원의 부적절한 평가, 현지보존의 참여자나 방법론의 부족, 정부지원 예산 및 정책의 부족 등은 유전자원 관리에 중요한 약점이다.

Background : Astilboides tabularis (Hemsl.) Engl. is a perennial herbaceous plant, distributed in the northern high mountains of the Korean peninsula and China. It is an excellent ornamental plant currently at risk of overharvesting and therefore, is designated as an endangered wild plant Class II by the Ministry of Environment. Physiological research on A. tabularis has not be reported. Therefore, in this study, using A. tabulari extracts, antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory effects were determined. Methods and Results : The antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of A. tabularis extracts were evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction of A. tabularis possesses potent DPPH radical scavenging activity (2.90±0.08㎍/㎖), similar to the scavenging activity of ascorbic acid (2.19±0.06㎍/㎖), and better than the powerful antioxidant α-tocopherol (10.60±0.40㎍/㎖) as well as BHA (butylatedhydroxy anisole)(6.12±0.27㎍/㎖). The ethyl acetate fraction possessed a significantly higher concentration of total phenolic (549.70±2.72㎎GAE/g) and flavonolic content (154.58±1.04㎎QE/g). It was also found that the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited high reducing power and inhibition of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) formation. Different fractions of A. tabularis were tested for anti-inflammatory activity using LPS stimulated Raw 264.7 cells. The n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions exhibited a high inhibitory effect on NO (Nitrite oxide) production (22.43±1.06%, 19.30±0.45%, respectively) at 200㎍/㎖ concentration. The mRNA of IL-1β, iNOS and COX-2 gene expression was decreased by treatment with the ethyl acetate fraction. These results showed that A. tabularis extracts can be used as natural substances to control inflammation. Conclusion : These result showed that A. tabularis extracts can be used in a variety of antioxidant and other functional product research and development processes as valuable natural materials.

Recently, tug boats are widely used for towing a barge which transports building materials, a large block of a ship, offshore crane, and so on. In order to simulate the dynamics of the coupled towing system correctly, the dynamics of the towline should be well modeled. In this paper, the towline was modeled as the multiple finite elements, and each element was assumed as a rigid cylinder which moves in five degrees of freedom except roll. The external tension and its moment acting on each element of the towline were modeled depending on the position vector's direction. Tugboat's motion was simulated in six degrees of freedom where wave and current effects were included, and towed barge was assumed to move in the horizontal plane only. In order to confirm the mathematical models of the coupled towing systems, standard maneuvering trials such as course changing maneuver, turning circle test and zig-zag test were simulated. In addition, the same trials were simulated when the external disturbances like wave and current exist. As the result, it is supposed that the results might be qualitatively reasonable.
