DPPH, ABTS radical scavening were Nero varieties had the highest radial scavening and increased significantly as the ripening degree increased. Total phenol and flavonoid contents were found to be highest in Nero, the highest content was showed at the first degree of harvesting. The most suitable stage for the processing was considered to be the best after post harvest treatments considering brix, hardness and acidity.

본 연구는 NaCl 농도가 수리취의 무기이온 함량, 효소활성, 광합성 반응 및 생장특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었으며, NaCl 농도는 4가지 처리로 조절하였다(0, 50mM, 100mM, 200mM). NaCl 처리농도가 증가할수록 최대광합성속도, 순양자수율, 탄소고정효율과 같은 광합성 활성이 감소하 였으나 수분이용효율은 증가하였다. 또한 엽면적, 엽건중, 엽면적비, 줄기길이 및 T/R율이 감소하였는 데 특히 100mM NaCl 농도조건에서 크게 감소하였다. 염분스트레스 처리시 이온유출량, H2O2 함량 및 지질과산화(MDA)가 증가하여 세포막의 피해가 커졌으나 염분스트레스에 대응하기 위해 삼투조절물질인 proline 함량도 유의적으로 증가하였고, 산화적 스트레스를 소거하기 위해 APX와 GR의 활성 역시 증가하였다. NaCl 농도가 증가할수록 엽과 뿌리의 Na 함량도 증가하였으나, Ca, K 및 Mg 함량은 이와 반대되는 경향을 보였다. 결과적으로 수리취는 비교적 염분 스트레스에 민감한 식물로 특히 NaCl 100mM에서 산화피해가 유의적으로 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A prostaglandin (PG), PGE2, mediates both cellular and humoral immune responses of insects. Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) biosynthesizes PGE2 by an unknown enzyme. This study predicted the enzyme, which is a novel membrane-bound prostaglandin E synthase-2 (mPGES-2). The transcriptional expression analysis showed the mPGES-2 is inducible to immune challenge. After RNA interference (RNAi), the hemocyte nodulation and expression of eleven antimicrobial peptides were significantly impaired. The RNAi effect was rescued by addition of PGE2 suggesting that mPGES-2 is crucial for immune responses mediated by PGE2.

감성은 복잡하고 다양한 요인들에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에 다각적인 측면에서 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 심리 평가 척도의 하나인 각성(arousal) 지표와 다중 생체신호에서 추출된 생체지표 반응을 이용하여 중립 및 부정감성(슬픔, 공포, 놀람)의 분류하였다. 이를 위하여 감성에 따른 생체지표 반응의 차이를 확인하였고, 다중 신경망 알고리즘 기반의 감성 인식기를 적용하여 이들 감성이 얼마나 정확하게 분류되는가를 확인하였다. 총 146명의 실험 참가자(평균 연령 20.1±4.0, 남성 41%)를 대상으로 감성 유발 자극을 제시하고 동시에 생체신호(심전도, 혈류맥파, 피부전기활동)를 측정하였다. 또한 감성 유발 자극에 대한 심리 반응을 감성 평가 척도로 평가하였다. 측정된 생체신호에서 심박률(HR), NN 간격의 표준편차(SDNN), 혈류량(BVP), 맥파전달시간(PTT), 피부전도수준(SCL), 피부전도반응 (SCR)을 추출하였다. 결과 분석을 위하여 감성 자극에 대한 각성도와 안정 상태와 감성 상태의 생체지표 반응을 활용하였다. 또한 감성 분류를 위하여 다중 신경망 기반의 감성 인식기를 활용하였다. 그 결과, 감성에 따른 생체지표 반응의 차이를 확인하였고, 이들 감성의 분류 성능은 각성도와 모든 생체지표 특징들을 조합하였을 때 정확도가 가장 높음(86.9%)을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 심리 및 생체지표 추출과 기계학습 기술의 적용을 통하여 부정 감성을 분류할 수 있음을 제안하며, 이는 인간의 감성을 탐지하는 감성 인식 기술을 확립하는데 기여할 것으로 예상한다.

Shrimps infected with WSSV (White Spot Syndrome Virus) generally exhibit white spots in their inner space of carapaces as an acute clinical sign. In an effort to identify the correlation between this acute clinical sign and the condition, the index factors (RNA/DNA concentration and ratio, trypsin activity) were analyzed. A total 580 farmed Fenneropenaeus chinensis and 130 Lithopenaeus vannamei were collected from western and southern fifteen outdoor ponds in Korea. The status of the white spot pathology was divided into four stages (stage 0, stage I, stage II, and stage III), in accordance with the clinical signs as to the size and area of white spots. A significant decrease in RNA concentration and RNA/DNA ratio for multi-infected fleshy prawn (WSSV and vibrio sp.) occurred during the stage III (the whole carapace is covered with a white spot). In particular, RNA/DNA ratio was significantly lower as 1.47±0.04 than other groups. A similar trend was also found in the single infection (WSSV), but the decrease was less than the multi-infection. In the species comparison, both species were vulnerable to the multi-infection, but L. vannamei was more sensitive than F. chinensis (ANOVA, p<0.05): A significant decrease in RNA concentration and RNA/DNA ratio was first found in stage II for the former species, while it was found in stage III for the latter species. Trypsin activity was also showed a similar tendency with nucleic acid variation. Multi-infected shrimp showed drastically decrease of trypsin activity. According to the results, clinical signs of the white spot under carapace have an only physiological effect on shrimp if they covered entirely with white spots.

Physiological responses and activities of antioxidative enzymes were investigated in pepper(Capsicum annuum) seedlings subjected to low temperature stress. The seedlings were exposed to 7℃, 11℃, or 15℃ for 4 h during the early seedling stage of pepper plants. The results showed that plant height and chlorophyll content were unaffected by the treatments. Polyphenol content in seedlings exposed to 7℃ was higher than that at 11℃ and 15℃ for 2 h. After 3 h of treatment, the flavonoid content was higher in pepper seedlings exposed to 7℃ than 11℃ and 15℃, which was slightly higher than that detected in the control. The H2O2 content increased remarkably with increasing exposure time to low temperature(i.e., 7℃) as compared to that at 11℃ and 15℃. The levels of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT), ascorbate peroxidase(APX), and peroxidase(POD) fluctuated. These results provide basic information that can be utilized to maintain efficient temperature in greenhouses for sustainable growth of pepper under severe low temperature conditions.

To enhance the physiological activity of the Rhynchosia volubilis (RV), R. volubilis (RVHE-A) and R. volubilis-added herbal powder (RVHE-B) were fermented with a solid state culture of Hericium erinaceum mycelia (HE). The total isoflavone contents of the non-fermented RV-A (489.9 μg/g) and RV-B (571.1 μg/g) were remarkably increased in fermented RVHE-A (1,836.4 μg/g) and RVHE-B (1,276.7 μg/g). In particular, aglycone isoflavones such as daidzein and genistein were significantly higher in the RVHE-A than any other sample. When hot-water (HW) and EtOH extracts (E) were fractionated from the RV and RVHE, both extracts from the RVHE-A were higher than those from the RV-A in total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. However, the RVHE-B-HW showed a lower polyphenol and flavonoid content level than did RV-B-HW. RVHE-A-HW and -E also had more potent ABTS radical scavenging activity than any extract from the non-fermented RV and other ferments (RVHE-B). In the meanwhile, RVHE-A-HW potently stimulated the production of macrophage activation-related cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-12 (841.7±71.3 pg/mL, 3.9±0.1 ng/mL, 179.3±30.2 pg/mL) from peritoneal macrophage more than RV-A-HW (92.5±1.5 pg/mL, 0.1±0.0 ng/mL, 37.4±5.4 pg/mL) as well as RVHE-B-HW (557.0±21.3 pg/mL, 1.8±0.0 ng/mL, 90.0±10.0 pg/mL). However, all the EtOH extracts did not show significant activity. In addition, the RVHE-A-HW showed a significantly higher intestinal immune system modulating activity through Peyer’s patch and GM-CSF production than did any other extract from RV and RVHE-B. In conclusion, these results suggest that the fermented R. volubilis with H. erinaceum mycelia possesses a possible use as an industrial application as functional food or material.

In this study, shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) cultivated in smart-farm and general farm were compared in morphology and physiology. In morphology, mushrooms produced in smart farm system showd a little bit thicker and wider pileus and thicker and longer stipe compared with those produced from general farm. The hardness of stipe was higher in the mushrooms from moderate farm, since low relative humidity in cultivation rooms can induce the mushroom tissue harder. In the aspect of physiology, the free radical scavenging activity was evaluated by DPPH assay. Among the various treatments, hot water extracts of freeze-dried shiitake produced from smart farm represented the highest DPPH value as 37.8%. In contrast, 70% ferment alcohol extract of shiitake which was dried by hot air showed the lowest activity value of 12.2%. The hot water extracts showed higher polyphenol contents than 70% ferment alcohol extracts. And the freeze-dried samples showed higher polyphenol contents than hot-air dried ones. When cultivating the shiitake by the smart was sold rather than cultivating with the general cropping system, using the system, the antioxidant activity and polyphenol content makes the mushroom in which the functionality improves more highly than me and general cropping system and it will be helpful.

The ability of plants to endure environmental stress factors, which are going to be more severe due to global warming, is important especially for forest plants. Because obtain trait of resistance to temperature using conventional breeding for woody plants is a time consuming way. In this study, chloroplast-localized OsHSP26 gene was overexpressed in Populus alba L. to breed tolerant transgenic poplar to temperature stress. The plantlets of OsHSP26-overexpressed transgenic poplar showed more heathy phenotypic response than wild-type plants under both prolonged low- and high-temperature stress. While the SPAD value, which refers chlorophyll content, in wild-type plants decreased depending on the exposure time to the temperature stress, higher SPAD value were shown in the transgenic plants. The contents of total phenolic compounds in the transgenic plants were lower than those of the wild-type plants, and not significantly changed except in the treatment of prolonged low-temperature. However, the total flavonoids contents of the transgenic plants were dramatically increased under prolonged temperature stress. The DPPH scavenging activities of the transgenic plants were higher than those of the wild-type plants under temperature stress. Consequently, it was revealed that overexpressing OsHSP26 allow for P. alba to be tolerant to temperature stress.

in vitro studies on salt torerance was carried out with Salix gracilistyla. Shoot growth of plants treated with NaCl showed statistically significances among different levels of concentration(0~200 mM) on 1/2MS medium. Plant growth was not grown at in higher concentration than 75 mM and plants were dead over 150 mM Nacl Browned leaf was observed from 14 days at higher concentration than then 75 mM NaCl, and chlorophyll content was dramatically decreased. Main roots and rootlet in same concentrates(75 mM) or high NaCl treatment were changed the color to black. The proline and sugar contents were dramatically increased in the higher than 75 mM NaCl treatments after 14 - 15 days. To determine NaCl and minerals in salt stressed plants, leaf, stem and root of in vitro plant were subjected to ICP analysis. Na content was increased with culture days in all three parts. These results suggest that S. gracilistyla can be used vegetative restoration in coastal wetlands reclaimed.
