Smart farm is a breakthrough technology that can maximize crop productivity and economy through efficient utilization of space regardless of external environmental factors. This study was conducted to investigate the optimal growth and physiological conditions of Chinese matrimony vine (Lycium chinense) with LED light sources in a smart farm. The light source was composed of red+blue and red+blue+white mixed light using a LED system. In the red+blue mixed light, red and blue colored LEDs were mixed at ratios of 1:1, 2:1, 5:1, and 10:1, with duty ratios varied to 100%, 99%, and 97%. The experimental results showed that the photosynthetic rate according to the types of light sources did not show statistically significant differences. Meanwhile, the photosynthetic rate according to the mixed ratio of the red and the blue light was highest with the red light and blue LED ratio of 1:1 while the water use efficiency was highest with the red and blue LED ratio of 2:1. The photosynthetic rate according to duty ratio was highest with the duty ratio of 99% under the mixed light condition of red+blue+white whereas the water use efficiency was highest with the duty ratio of 97% under the mixed light of red+blue LED. The results indicate that the light source and light quality for the optimal growth of Lycium chinense in the smart farm using the LED system are the mixed light of red+blue (1:1) and the duty ratio of 97%.

본 연구에서는 한약재의 활용도를 높이기 위한 연구로 추출물 농도에 따른 생리활성물질의 용출량을 측정하기 위해 한방약술의 품질 특성과 Glutathione S-transferase의 활성 저해능을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 한방약술의 pH결과는 4.4로 발효 전의 대조구 3.9보다 증가하였다. 이러한 변화는 알코올 발효과정 중 발효부산물 및 유기산 때문으로 사료된다. 한방약술의 산도는 0.55%로 발효 전의 대조구 0.09%보다 약 6배 증가하였다. 이런 결과는 유기산이 알코올 등과 결합하여 ester와 같은 향미 형성 등에 이용되는 것을 알 수 있다. 한방약술 15%의 glutathione S-transferase의 활성 저해능 5.1±0.3, 한방약술 20%는 저해능 6.5±0.5, 한방약술 25%는 7.6±0.6, 한방약술 30%는 8.4±0.2, 최대 농도인 35%에서의 저해능은 9.7±0.7로 나타내었다. 추출 농도별로 glutathione S-transferase의 활성 저 해능은 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 있음을 보였다 (p<0.05).

본 연구는 추출물 농도에 따른 생리활성물질의 용출량을 측정하기 위해 전자공여능과 총 폴 리페놀 함량을 측정한 결과이다. 전자공여능은 추출물의 첨가 농도가 15%인 경우는 21.81%로 나타났 고, 35% 농도에서 40.45%로 가장 높았다. 한약재의 첨가 농도가 증가함에 따라 전자공여능은 유의적으 로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 가장 높은 35% 첨가 농도에서의 40.45% 공여능은 이보다 더 낮았으므로 전자 공여능은 미약한 것으로 생각된다. 총 폴리페놀함량은 한방약술 15%에서는 113.89±1.79 ㎍ GAE/㎖로 나타났고, 한방약술 35% 에서는 274.24±0.71 ㎍ GAE/㎖로 나타나서 첨가물의 농도 증가에 따라 총 폴리페놀의 함량도 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 추출물 농도가 30%에서 총 폴리페놀 함량의 증가 폭이 61.75 ㎍ GAE/㎖로 가장 높았다.

구기자는 항암, 항산화, 항균 효과 등을 갖고 있는 약용식물로서 구기자재배 농민의 주요 소득원이 되는 작물이다. 연구기간동안 구기자 재배면적, 농가수가 2001 ~ 2010년까지 꾸준히 하락하였다. 이러한 이유는 농가의 노동인구의 고령화 및 가격불균형으로 판단된다. 그러나 재배기술의 발전 등으로 인하여 재배면적과 농가수 감소에도 불구하고 생산량은 감소세가 보이지 않았다. 구기자가격은 2001년 11,000원부터 2010년 16,833원으로 5년 평균 17,270원으로 꾸준히 상승하였다. 구기자 수입량은 2001년 877톤으로부터 하락하는 추세이나 2012년 약품용으로 300톤 수입이 예정되어 구기자 농가에 심각한 타격을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 중국의 수출현황을 보면 2001년 ~ 2007년 수출량은 5,500톤 내외와 수출가는 1,200달러/톤이었지만 2010년도에는 수출량이 6,190톤과 수출가격 6,580달러/톤 가격으로 급격한 성장을 하였다. 또한 주산지인 닝샤 지역외 재배지역을 확대하고 있는 현상에 있다.

본 연구는 국산 전통차 개발에 관한 실험으로써 산수유, 구기자 및 그 혼합물이 생체에 미치는 효능을 구명하고자 이들의 추출물을 미생물(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)과 실험동물(spraque-dawely(male)200g)에 투여하여 생리조사를 실시하였다. 미생물에 있어서는 산수유와 구기자의 첨가량이 증가할수록 균체생육이 증가했으나, 그중 산수유보다 구기자가 더 현저한 증가를 보였고, 특히 그 혼합구에서는 상승효과가 인정되었다. 흰쥐의 경우에는 산수유, 구기자 및 그 추출물이 CCl4로 야기된 간 손상에 미치는 영향을 관찰했다. GOT, GPT 활성도는 CCl4 중독에 의해서 대조군(S1)이 정상군(S0)에 비해 현저히 증가했으나 구기자군(S3)과 혼합군(S4)은 현저한 감소를 보였다(p〈0.01). 그 혈액중의 creatinine, BUN, glucose 함량은 시험구 모두 정상치에 접근했으나, 그중 구기자군(S3)이 좀 더 안정된 수치를 보였다. 따라서 CCl4의 저해에 대한 흰쥐의 간장보호 효과는 구기자, 그 혼합물, 산수유 순이고 이들 혼합물은 단일사용보다 상승효과가 인정되었다.

구기자 잎을 이용한 특허제품 개발 및 기능성 식품소재에 관한 연구는 다수 진행되고 있으나 구기자 잎을 규격화 표준화하여 대량으로 공급할 수 있는 생산체계는 확립되어 있지 않다. 이에 구기자 육성품종 중에서 잎 생산에 알맞은 품종을 선발하고 가공용 잎을 대량으로 생산할 수 있는 예취시기를 확립코자 하였다. 구기자 11품종 중 잎 생산에 적합한 품종은 ‘명안’이었고, 다른 품종에 비하여 잎이 크고 분얼과 재생력이 왕성하였을 뿐만 아니라 잎 건물수량도 높았다. ‘명안’ 품종에서 구기자 잎 생산에 적합한 예취시기는 초장이 약 60 ~ 70 cm 자랐을 시기였고, 잎 수량은 5월 16일 수확 시 평균 106 ㎏/10a, 6월 20일 수확 시 평균 287 ㎏/10a로서 수확시기가 늦어질수록 직선적으로 증가되었다. 구기자의 지표성분인 베타인 함량을 1.43 ~ 2.63% 범위였고, 품종과 예취시기에 따라 함량이 다른데 생육이 진전 될수록 증가되는 경향이었다. 구기자나무 잎의 주요 생리기능성을 조사한 결과 항고혈압성을 나타내는 ACE 저해활성이 평균 84.4 ~ 90.8%로 높은 편이었고, 나머지 생리기능성은 20% 이하로 낮거나 검출되지 않았다.

Background : Acreage of rain-shelter plastic greenhouse to prevent anthrax is being gradually increased according to growing importance of safe Boxthorn production. But When Boxthorn is grown in the hot season in rain-shelter plastic greenhouse, Fertility decreases. The fertilization rate tends to be different according to cultivated variety and ventilation type of rain-shelter plastic greenhouse. Therefore it is necessary to identify cause and look for a solution. Methods and Results : In the experiment, ‘Cheongun’ cultivar was grown in the rain-shelter plastic greenhouses for the tests. Environment of rain-shelter plastic greenhouses, fertilization rate and density of flower visiting insect were investigated according to ventilation type. Pollen germination and pollen tube elongation on stigma were investigated according to temperature. In mid-July, the temperature on a clear day rose to 45℃ in rain-shelter plastic greenhouse of side vents. Pollen germination and pollen tube elongation on stigma were normal for 3 hours on 30, 35℃. Fertilization rate was somewhat reduced on 40℃ but Pollen germination and pollen tube elongation was good. On 45℃, fertilization rate was very poor and There was no pollen germination. Density of flower visiting insect in rain-shelter plastic greenhouse of roof and side vents was higher than that in rain-shelter plastic greenhouse of side vents. The fertilization rate on high temperature did not show any difference regardless of ventilation type. The rate of artificial cross-fertilization and airborne fertilization were high in rain-shelter plastic greenhouse of roof and side vents. It was necessary to improve airborne fertilization rate because airborne fertilization rate was significantly lower than artificial cross-fertilization regardless of ventilation type. Conclusion : When it was cultivated in rain-shelter plastic greenhouse, the reasons for the lowering of the fertilization rate were as follows. Density of flower visiting insect was low. Boxthorn, which was insect pollination crop, was needed sufficient flower visiting insect on flowering period. But it was insufficiency especially in rain-shelter plastic greenhouse of side vents. Another reason was decrease in pollen germination and pollen tube elongation. Pollen germination was suppressed in the high temperature.
