The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, was introduced from East Asia (EA) into North America (NA) and is now widely established in NA. To compare soybean aphid populations between the native and invasive regions, we examined 689 individuals obtained from 28 different collections in NA and EA. A total of 8 microsatellite loci were used for population genetics statistics. Gene diversity and mean number of alleles in NA populations averaged 0.40 and 2.70, respectively, whereas in EA they averaged 0.55 and 4.32, respectively. Structure analysis of all populations revealed two distinct structures in the invaded and in the native regions. Among EA populations, certain Korean populations were genetically closest to NA populations, especially those from Ohio and Delaware. An approximate Bayesian computation test also supports an introduction into NA from Korea.

In our previous study, COPA (coatomer subunit alpha) gene from the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, exhibited RNA interference (RNAi)-based lethality when its double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was systemically delivered via multi-unit chambers or its hairpin RNA was in planta-expressed by agroinfiltration. The cumulative mortality of T. urtcae was 55.0 ±14.2% in soybean plants agroinfiltrated with COPA gene. To investigate the temporal expression profiles of hairpin RNA following agroinfiltration, the amount of hairpin RNA expressed in plants was quantified over time by quantitative real-time PCR. Relative transient expression levels of T. urticae COPA hairpin RNA was highest at 46 h post-agroinfiltration and the extent of COPA gene knockdown was lowest at 12 h post-infestation on soybean plants. To investigate small interference RNA (siRNA) profiling, northern blot assay is currently under progress.

Soybean peptide (SP) exhibited low intestinal absorption at oral administration due to its fragile structure under gastric digestion. Therefore, we have attempted to encapsulate peptide by cross-linkage interaction between positive charged chitosan (CS) or chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO) and negative charged peptide. The CS (or CSO) with SP nanoparticles were prepared by using ultrasonification technique. The objective of this study was to find the optimal processing method by changing concentration, pH, and homogenizing conditions. We measured physicochemical properties such as particle size, zeta-potential, encapsulation efficiency (EE%), release rate (RR) and antioxidant ability of samples. The results showed that the optimal processing method was using 0.5% (w/v) CSO (diluted by pH 3 Acetic acid buffer) mixed with 0.5% (w/v) SP (diluted by pH 6 buffer) by 9:1 ratio. Afterwards, using high-speed mixer at 12,000 rpm for 3 min, and then passed 2 times through an ultrasonicator (50% power, 3 min). In this way for processing, the particle sizes of CSO/SP nanoparticles were approximately 300 nm, zeta-potential were approximately 45 mV. In addition, the EE% and RR of CS/SP nanoparticles was higher than the CSO/SP nanoparticles. The increase in antioxidant ability of SP was attributed to the affected by CS/CSO microcapsules. In conclusion, this research can befoundation for the manufacturing process of CS/SP nanoparticles, and it was expected that the future application of this nanoparticle in food matrix.

Cryoprotectant is a substance used to protect biological tissue from freezing injury. However, there was few research paper on application of cryoprotectant in food stuff although its benefits was approved from the biological cell tissues. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the sugar addition as a cryoprotectant on the properties of frozen soybean sprouts. Before freezing process, the samples were blanched at 100°C for 1 min to observe the influence of blanching treatment. The blanched or non-blanched soybean sprouts was immersed in sugar solution as cryoprotectant, and continuously, the samples were frozen at -18°C for 24 h. Their physicochemical properties such as drip loss, hardness, color and cellular tissue were analyzed after thawing in running water. In our study, the drip loss of blanched sample without sugar was 43%, and comparatively, blanched one with sugar was 20% which was the lowest value among all samples. There was no significant difference of hardness between sample with sugar and without sugar. From our results, it was supposed that sugar can protect the soybean sprouts during freezing process regardless blanching process.

Biogenic amines (BAs) are toxic nitrogenous compounds and formed by the microbial decarboxylation of amino acids during fermentation. Consumption of fermented foods high in BAs can pose the adverse health effects. The objective of current study was to develop a reduction method of BAs in fermented soybean paste by applying catechins during fermented koji manufacturing step. Analysis of BAs in fermented soybean paste was conducted using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The levels of Putrescine decreased for 63.7%, 60.1%, 76.1%, 73.4% for 0.3% addition of Epicatechin, Epicatechin gallate, Epigallocatechin, Epigallocatechin gallate, respectively. The levels of Cadaverine decreased for 24.3%, 34.3%, 42.6%, 37.2% for 0.3% addition of Epicatechin, Epicatechin gallate, Epigallocatechin, Epigallocatechin gallate, respectively. Especially, The best reduction effect of BAs appeared for 0.3% addition of Epigallocatechin. Current study demonstrated the potential use of catechins for reduction of biogenic amines in fermented soybean paste model. Finding from this research can practically guide fermented food industry by providing practical application of additives for reduction of BAs.

The introduction of stress up-regulated genes into heterologous plants is found to confer stability trait to plants in otherwise hostile environments. The soybean cold inducible factor-1 gene(SCOF-1) encoding a zinc finger transcription factor was introduced into Populus alba L.(white poplar) by co-culture with Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 that carried the binary vector, pGA643/SCOF1. The putative P. alba transformed plants were selected on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 2.22μM 6-benzylaminopurine, 1.18mM carbenicillin, and 28.47μM hygromycin. The integration of SCOF-1 into the P. alba genome was also established by polymerase chain reaction(PCR), and the expression of the gene was confirmed by reverse transcription PCR. After exposure for 4h at 4℃ followed by 48h recovery at 27℃, the transgenic plants completely recovered to normal growth status. The chlorophyll content in transgenic plants was higher than that in wild type plants after chilling treatment. However, the moisture content and total phenolics was also not significantly different in transgenic and wild type plants after cold treatment.

Analysis of nutritional compositions of soybean sprouts cultivated with bamboo ash was carried out. Bamboo ash was utilized as sprouting water of soybeans and adjusted to 0.2, 0.6, 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 6.0 and 10.0 g/L. Stem length and contents of isoflavone (daidzin, glycitin, genestin, daidzein, glycitein, and genestein) and vitamin C in soybean sprouts cultivated with 0.2 g/L were higher than those in soybean sprouts cultivated with only water. Potassium, magnesium, and calcium of all cultivation methods were detected in higher contents than others. In particular, potassium showed a high absorption rate in the soybean sprouts. The major amino acid was asparagine (616.05~849.15 mg/100 g, soybean eq.), and contents of lysine, leucine, and ornithine in soybean sprouts cultivated at 0.2 g/L were higher than those of methods by only water and addition of 6-benzylaminopurine. According to the results, soybean sprouts cultivated with 0.2 g/L of bamboo ash were effective for increasing nutritional compositions.

The vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean was developed by introducing a perilla γ- tocopherol methyltransferase gene (γ-TMT) under the control of pea vicilin promoter and a selection marker, phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) gene. With regard to the potential problems of safety, the non-target organism evaluation is required as an essential element for the environmental risk assessment of genetically modified (GM) crops. We studied the effects of the vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean feeding on survival of Daphnia magna which is commonly used as a model organism in ecotoxicological studies. The Daphnia magna was fed on vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean and non-genetically modified (non-GM) soybean (Willams 82) at 0, 1,000, 1,800, 3,240, 5,830, 10,500 and 20,000 mg/L concentrations, respectively. The GM soybean used for the test was confirmed to have the γ-TMT/PAT gene expression by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The results showed that there was no significant differences between cumulative immobilities of Daphnia magna fed on GM soybean and non-GM soybean. The 48hr-EC50 values showed no significant differences between GM soybean (2,416 mg/L) and non-GM soybean (2,408 mg/L). The results of this study suggested that there was no significant differences in toxicity for Daphnia magna between GM soybean and non-GM counterpart.

본 논문은 히스토그램과 그레이레벨 프로파일의 VS(valley size)를 이용한 문턱치 기반의 대두 선별알고리즘 을 제안한다. 대두의 변형은 크게 표면 변색 및 외형 변형으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대두 개체를 건전립, 부 분변색립, 전면변색립, 표면변형립으로 구분하고 히스토그램 기반 문턱치와 VS기반 선별알고리즘을 이용하여 표면의 변색 및 변형에 따른 불량 대두와 건전립을 선별하였다. 제안한 방법은 대두와 같이 개체수가 많은 농작물의 실시간 선별을 목적으로 하여, 정수덧셈 연산기반의 선별 알고리즘으로 구현 되었다. 제안한 방법을 실제 선별에 적용한 결 과 선별의 정확도는 94.5%이며 기존의 문턱치 기반 대두 선별 알고리즘에 비교할 때 상대적으로 적은 연산량에서 동 등한 수준의 정확도를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

The effects of drying temperature on the drying characteristics of soybeans at the different position in the dryer with 28.1% (±0.8) of initial moisture content were studied. Drying temperatures varied at 35, 45 and 55ºC, with a constant inlet air velocity (3 m/s). The local air velocities at a position 1, 5, and 9 were 0.150 m/s (±0.012), 0.247 m/ s (±0.018) and 0.795 m/s (±0.036), respectively. The drying rate increased as the local air velocity increased from 0.150 m/s to 0.795 m/s. The cracked grain ratio increased as the drying rate increased. To prevent quality degradation of soybeans during hot-air drying, the local air velocity should be considered. Thin-layer drying models were applied to describe the drying process of soybeans. The Midilli-Kucuk model showed the best fit (R2>0.99). Based on the model parameters, the drying time to achieve the target moisture content (15%) was successfully estimated. The drying time was strongly dependent on the position in the dryer and the drying temperature.
