To identify some significant phenotypic characteristics of maize(zea mays) seeds, we have obtained Red, Green, Blue(RGB) digital image data from 82 recombinant inbred lines. Based on the collected image data, their morphological and color data were analyzed, and seven significant parameters were selected, including area, perimeter, length, width, circularity, roundness, and surface texture. The extracted RGB data were converted into color hex codes to visualize the representative colors of the seeds. These visualized colors were categorized into six groups: gray, yellowish white, yellow, grayish orange, purple, and brown. The results of maize seed phenotypic analysis using the RGB digital images in this study will serve as a useful tool for constructing a database of seed phenotyping database and establishing a standardized classification system.

본 연구에서는 천연물질인 자몽종자추출물, 코치닐색소, 녹차추출물의 흥미첨가농도범위를 각각 0.02-0.08, 0.05-0.117 및 0.05-0.117%(w/w)로 놓았으며 혼합비율로서 혼합물 구조모형으로 설계하여 돈육포의 품질특성을 반응표면분석법으로 비교분석하였다. 색상 면에서 a값에서는 자몽종자추출물, 코치닐색소, 녹차추출물을 각각 0.02, 0.15 및 0.05%의 농도로 첨가 시 가장 높은 값인 14.5를 나타내었으며 천연물질을 첨가하지 않은 대조구는 7.9이었다. 60oC의 가속저장에서 대조구의 경우 저장 7일 후 TBA값의 증가정도는 80.20%이었으며 처리구 중 가장 작은 값을 보인 것은 자몽종자추출물, 코치닐색소, 녹차추출물의 농도가 각각 0.05, 0.05 및 0.10%에서 나타났으며 그때의 증가율은 16.44%이었다. 저장초기 천연첨가물질 혼합비율에 따라서 총 균수는 3.39-3.69 log CFU/g로 큰 차이는 없었으며 대조구의 3.41 log CFU/g과도 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 25oC의 저장에서 대조구의 경우는 7일 후 약간 증가하였으나 천연물질을 첨가한 경우에는 대부분 감소하였다.

Grain color distinguishes between the pigmentation of the outer layer of the kernel. It is known that environmental factors affects the production of anthocyanins and abiotic stresses like high light intensity, low temperature, high salinity and/or drought stress, and others increase their amounts. After 7 days the germination rate between yellow and dark-purple seeds were almost the same with and without stress (100% yellow seeds under stress and without stress germinated, 93.3% under stress and 96.6% without stress of purple seeds germinated), even though at the final stage the germination was almost the same, we can conclude base on our observations that the germination takes place at a different rate. We think that this might be related to the seed color, since the germination of purple seeds under salt stress started earlier than the yellow ones, until both reached the same point. The antioxidant activity was higher in seedlings from dark-purple seeds than the yellow ones, and they were higher under salt stress than without it, supporting our hypothesis that the purple color in wheat seeds works as a protection under salt stress. Furthermore, the qRT-pCR showed that some genes related to the flavonoid pathway were expressed or had more expression in the seedlings from dark-purple seeds than yellow ones.

In this study, the concentrations of isoflavones, anthocyanins and total phenol content (TPC) in 19 soybean mutant lines changed seed coat color from yellow to black or brown were determined. Among 19 soybean mutant lines, 5 soybean mutant lines with black pigment were detected 3 anthocyanins (delphinidin-3-O-β-D-glucoside, D3G; cyaniding 3-O-β -D-glucoside, C3G; petunidin 3-O-β-D-glucoside, Pt3G). The highest concentration of anthocyanins among 5 soybean mutant lines was D-16 (1280.0 ± 19.4 mg/100g seed coat) derived from cv. Danbaek. Although isoflavone contents of all soybean mutant lines showed lower levels compared to original cultivars, glycitein was detected only 5 soybean mutant lines (DP-37-2, DP-38, DP-39, DP-40, and DP-41 derived from cv. Daepung). In TPC of 19 soybean mutant lines, DP-10 was increase levels compared to original cultivar, while DP-37-2, DP-40, and DP-41 were decrease levels of TPC. Using reduction of DPPH, we measured the free radical scavenging activity (FRSA) among 19 soybean mutant lines. Five black and 4 brown soybean mutants showed significant increase in FRSA. On the basis of these results, it was concluded that gamma irradiation may change the isoflavone, anthocyanin, and total phenol contents of soybean. These mutant lines using in this study can be useful for the breeding of soybean varieties altering the nutritional values.

This study was conducted to examine the variations of seed hull color characteristics, the oil contents and fatty acid composition in 275 sunflower germplasms. The seed hull of sunflower germplasms were classified into 4 colors of white, black, grey, and brown. The grey color of seed hull was the highest percentage of 33.8%, whereas the white color of seed hull was the lowest percentage of 5%. Average oil content was 22.5% with a range from 11.7% to 45.5%. Average saturated fatty acid contents were 6.9%, while average content of unsaturated fatty acid was 93%. The average contents of fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid were 4.7%, 2.2%, 55.2%, and 38%, respectively. Comparing the oil contents and fatty acids among different seed hull colors, the highest content of oil was with grey seed hull color and the lowest with white seed hull color. Saturated fatty acid were higher in brown seed hull color. Unsaturated fatty acids were higher in grey and black seed hull colors. It could be observed that there was significant negative correlation(r=-0.998**) between linoleic and oleic acid content, and also L-value(Lightness of seed hull color) showed significant negative correlations with oil content, oleic acid content and linoleic acid content.

Seed color is an important trait affecting flour yield and quality in wheat. Seed color also is either tightly linked to or pleiotropically controls seed dormancy in wheat, because most of the red-seeded wheats are tolerant to pre-harvest sprouting in comparison to white-seeded wheats. Recently, metabolomics approaches have recently been used to assess the natural variance in metabolite content between individual plants, an approach with great potential for the improvement of the compositional quality of crops. Basically, in the study here, the simultaneous proteomic and metablomic approaches are being investigated to identify the expressed proteins of genes and specific metabolism responsible for the expression of red and white colors of seed. Red seed “Jinpum” and white seed “Kumkang” cultivars were used in this study to identify the storage proteins use of 2-DE, MALDI-TOF/MS. Here we optimize tissue extraction methods compatible with high-throughput, reproducible nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy based metabolomics. It appears that the proteins expressed were different each other according to two different cultivars from the seeds of hexaploid wheat. Some selected protein spots were identified as follows: B3-hordein, Gamma-hordein-3,bifunctionalalpha amylase/subtilisin Inhibitor. To monitor metabolic profile, wheat grain was ground in liquid nitrogen, ensuring a homogeneous mix of the tissue, solution samples extracted from seed grains of two wheat cultivars were conducted to measurement of metabolite using 1H-1D NMR method. Representative 1H-1D NMR spectra showing the metabolic fingerprints of wheat grain extracted and presented in Fig. The different peaks, observed at 3.4 and 4.3 ppm, were detected and difference in each two cultivars. The metabolic fingerprint of each two wheat cultivars by 1H-1D NMR were analysed using partial least squares (PLS) in mutivariate analysis to confirm metabolic profiling between different cultivars and to screen chemical shift spectrum corresponding to metabolite specifically abundant in each cultivars. Profiling using 1H-1D NMR was applied to measure of abundance of major metabolite. In total metabolites were compared between “Jinpum” and “Kumkang” cultivars. Therefore, NMR based on the metabolic-phenotyping should be mostly applicable to systematic exploration of plant genetic resources as well as to metabolite based on the breeding program involved in crops productivity.

Isoflavone concentration(daidzein, glycitein, and genistein) of soybean(Taekwangkong and Sowonkong) were analyzed for studying the relationship between seed size and isoflavone concentration and seed coat color and isoflavone concentration. The isoflavone concentration was the greatest in daidzein then followed by genistein, however glycitein was the smallist of all. The isoflavone concentration was increased with the increasing of the ripening degree and seed size.

From the evaluation of physical properties such as springiness, gumminess, adhesiveness, chewiness and hardness by the texture analyzer, vegetable soybean lines with green seed-coat were best as compared with those with black, brown, mixed, and yellow seed-coats. A panel test evaluated on the basis of taste, sweetness, chewiness, and total scores also indicated that soybean lines with green seed-coat were the best. The total scores of panel test was decreased in the order of green > yellow> black> brown seed-coat colored soybean. The mean value of sucrose content obtained by HPLC analysis was highest in black seed-coat colored soybean, and followed by green, yellow, and brown soybeans. The highest sucrose content (8.22%) was observed in 180362, a soybean line with green seed-coat. The full-season type soybeans showed much higher sucrose content than summer types which are mainly cultivated on farmer's fields for vegetable purposes. The final 13 lines selected from 300 colored soybeans showed nearly the same panel scores as Miwongreen. However, these lines had a great deal of variation in sucrose content, and much higher readings in texture analysis than Miwongreen, especially in chewiness and hardness which were the most important properties in vegetable soybeans.

콩의 종실크기 및 종피색에 따른 침종후 수분흡수, 자엽손상 및 배축신장의 차이를 구명하고자, 황색 및 흑색 대소립종 각각 4품종씩을 공시하여 경시적인 수분 흡수및 발아양상을 조사하고 나아가서, 침종후 자엽손상률과 발아과정중의 배축신장력을 상호비교하였던바, 다음과 같은 몇가지 결과를 얻었다. 1. 유근의 중양은 대립종이 높았으나, 종실에 대한 유근의 비율에 있어서는 대립종이 1.8%, 소립종 2.9%로 소립종이 현저히 높았고, 종피색간에는 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 종피율은 대립종 6.6%에 비하여 소립종은 9.2%로 뚜렷히 높았고, 흑색종은 황색종에 비하여 높은 종피율을 보여 흑색종의 종피가 두껍다는 것을 알 수있었다. 2. 25℃ 에서의 수분흡수를 보면 소립종이 초기 수분흡수력이 높았으나, 수분평형상태에 도달한 24시간에는 대립종의 수분흡수율이 다소 높았고, 흑색종피종은 침종후 3시간까지는 수분흡수가 황색종에 비해 크게 지연되었으나, 침종 24시간에는 오히려 높은 수분흡수율을 보였다 3. 종실의 경도는 대소립종 및 종피색간 차이가 없었고, 침종후 24시간에 조사한 자엽손상률은 대립종이 78%를 보인 반면, 소립종은 자엽손상이 전혀 발생되지 않았으며, 흑색종은 황색종에 비하여 자엽 손상률이 낮은 경향을 보였다. 4. 최종 발아율 및 발아속도는 소립종이 높았으며, 무색종은 발아속도는 느렸으나, 최종 발아율은 황색종과 차이가 없었다. 5. 발아기간중 조사한 배축장은 대체적으로 소립종이 큰 경향을 보였고, 자엽에 대한 배축의 생체중 비율도 소립중이 뚜렷히 높았으나, 배축 두께는 대립종이 더 두꺼웠다. 6. 100입중과 종피율, 배의 비율 간은 부의 상관이 인정되었고, 자엽손상률과 정의 상관을 나타내었으며, 침종후 3시간의 수분흡수율과는 부의 상관을 보였으나 수분흡수 평형상태에 도달한 침종후 24시간의 수분흡수율과는 정의 상관을 보였다.으며 생육초기일수록 상관이 높았다. 6. F1 은 생육초기에 엽의 질소함량이 높아 단위동화율이 높을 뿐만아니라 질소의 군락내 상하간의 농도 구배가 크고 흡광계수가 낮아 군락의 광합성에 유리하고, 이에따른 영양 생장기 건물 생산성의 증대가 단위 면적당 영화수의 증대를 통해 수량의 증대를 가져오는 것으로 판단되었다. 높았고 그 다음으로 운봉>화서>철원산미 순으로 낮았으며 강하점도는 철원산미가 가장 켰고 그 다음으로 화서>운봉>진부산미 순으로 저온하에서 등숙된 쌀일수록 낮았으며 치반점도는 이와 정반대의 경향이었다. 밥의 점성 /경도비율은 철원산미가 여타 지역에 비해 약간 높은 값을 나타내었다. 6. 식미관련 미질특성을 이용한 주성분 분석에서 전정보의 약 60% 설명이 가능한 제1 및 제2 주성분치상의 5개 품종별 4개 산지미의 분포로 보아 대체로 진부산미와 여타 지역산미로 확연히 구분되었고 다시 진부산미는 2개군, 여타 지역산미는 3개군으로 세분화 할 수 있었으며 산지내 품종변이가 가장 작았던 것은 화서산미였고. 고냉지산미는 품종 간 변이가 켰다. 식미관련 종합적 미질특성면에서 가장 양호한 군에 속하는 것은 철원, 운봉 및 화서산 오대벼와 운봉산 소백벼였다.것으로 나타났다. 아마도 이런 산림형태는 자연 기후환경변화 뿐만 아니라 인간간섭에 의해 나타난 결과로 생각된다. 이 시기에 경작식물인 벼과(Gramineae), 옥수수(Zea), 메밀(Fagopyrum)과 논밭의 뚝 등지 에서 서식하는 돼지풀(Ambrosia) 등이 처음으로 산출되는 것으로 보아 인간간섭이 행해졌음을 잘 뒷 받침해준다. 또한 담수성 조류는 변함없이 산출되는 반면, 해양성조류인 와편모류가 산출되지 않는 것으로 보아 해안환경에서 다소 멀 어진 저지대의 습윤한 충적대지환경으로 변하였던 것으로 판단된다. 나타났다.ates in 1678, was the first modern fashion magaz
