As a solution for the utilization of abandoned arable land, Japanese lawngrass (JL) can be used for grazing. To utilize JL for "integrated grazing system for scattered small pasture", the management practices for rotational grazing on JL pasture have to be investigated in detail. We investigated the number of ears in the two pastures with sward height of 5 ㎝ (LS pasture) and 10 ㎝ (HS pasture) at the end of each rotational grazing period. The number of ears at the start of the first grazing of the year at May in LS pasture was more than that in HS pasture. It was suggested that low sward height relate to the decrease in the reserved nutrients for floral differentiation and ear emergence, because the number of ears at the start of the first grazing of the year was affected by the reserved nutrients in the previous year. The number of ears at the start of the second grazing at July in HS pasture was more than that in LS pasture significantly and the ears observed at the start of the second grazing might have emerged after the first grazing. These suggest that the number of young panicles which was not eaten by cattle was more in HS pasture than LS pasture. For the establishment of JL pasture, high sward height in spring might enable us to enlarge JL coverage. In the established pasture, low sward height might enable us to suppress the nutrients and energy consumption by earing.

This study was carried out to develop new zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) cultivar ‘Halla Green 2’ (Grant number: No. 118). To develop a zoysiagrass cultivar with dwarfism by using the mutation breeding method, the wild type control "Gosan" plants were irradiated using a 30 Gy gamma ray source in 2010. Dwarf mutants were selected from the mutated grasses in successive generations. Dwarf mutant lines were identified and a new zoysiagrass variety Halla Green 2 was developed. The plant height of Halla Green 2 was 3.4 and 1.8 times lower than that of Gosan and Zenith, respectively. This cultivar has dwarf characteristics such as shorter sheath, shorter leaf blade, shorter flag leaf, and shorter third internode of stolon compared to those of Gosan and Zenith. Additionally, the sheaths and leaf blades color of Gosan, Zenith and Halla Green 2 were all light green, whereas their stolons were purple, yellow-green and yellow green, respectively. Trichomes(hairs) were visible on both adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the Gosan leaves, whereas only on the adaxial side of the Zenith and Halla Green 2 leaves. The Halla Green 2 grass showed distinguishable morphological traits compared to those of wild type Gosan and Zenith.

Gene targeting (GT)은 식물체 내로 삽입하려는 donor DNA와 식물체 내의 endogenous DNA 간의 상동재조합(Homologous recombination)의 원리를 이용하여, plant genome내의 목표 유전자를 특수한 목적으로 만들어진 modified donor DNA로 교체하는 기술이다. 식물에서는 비상동재조합 (Non-Homologous End Joining)이 homologous recombination보다 높은 비율로 일어나기 때문에 GT의 효율이 동물에 비해 현저하게 낮다. 이를 해결할 수 있는 방안으로 1) 형질전환 효율을 향상시키거나 2) 상동재조합의 효율을 높이는 것 또는 3) 선별 체계의 정확도를 높이는 것이 있는데, 그 중 상동재조합의 효율을 증가시키는 방법에 double strand breaks (DSB)가 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 보고된 바 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Agrobacterium 형질전환을 이용해 한국 잔디인 들잔디 (Zoysia japonica Steud.) 캘러스에 상동재조합이 일어났음을 확인할 수 있는 marker인 pGU.C.USB를 삽입하고, southern blot과 GUS assay를 통해 자연 상태에서 일어나는 들잔디 본래의 상동재조합 효율을 측정하였다. 추후 DSB를 유도하여 향상된 상동재조합의 효율을 측정할 것이다.

All kinds of crops including foods, feeds and turf grasses are damaged frequently by various environmental stresses such as drought, salt, cold, and high temperature, which cause the loss of agronomic productivity. Plants cannot escape from environmental stresses. Thus, plants were evolving in the direction of overcoming environmental stresses. Some genes such as ARF, AB13, NAC, HSF, WRKY respond to environmental stresses have been reported in plants. The genes play a role in stress responses pathway of plants, the transcription factor in response to environmental stress. Typically OsWRKY76 increased the low temperature resistance, AtWRKY28 been reported to be related to the environmental stress. Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) is used primarily useful for the garden or the golf course. But WRKY, environmental stress-related gene, is unknown in zoysiagrass. Here, we report the analyzing of WRKY genes and response by cold, dehydration and senescence stresses in zoysiagrass. Three WRKY gene (ZjWRKY3, ZjWRKY5, ZjWRKY7) cloning from zoysiagrass. It was transformed in arabidopsis and zoysiagrass. It will be a function analysis.

Daily shedding pattern and longevity of pollen are important consideration for the evaluation of gene flow of transgenic plants. During the day, the pollen shedding pattern of zoysiagrass was determined in the lawn by using a device to collect airborne pollen on a glass slide, resulting that the pollen grains were released predominantly between 7:00 and 9:00. The result was also supported by in vitro pollen germination test, which was performed with pollens collected from 1:00 through 24:00 at 1h interval. Influence of temperature and humidity on pollen longevity was determined by germinating pollen at 25°C after incubating them for 10, 30, 60, and 180 min under different temperatures and humidity with pollen of zoysiagrass that opened freshly at about 9:00. The result showed that pollen longevity of zoysiagrass was sensitive to change of temperature and humidity and longest under the temperture and humidity of 15-20°C and 80-99%, respectively. Under natural conditions with the same method as upper controlled conditions, was determined pollen longevity. Under sunny atmospheric conditions, pollen longevity decreased to 20% in 60 min, with a complete extinction in 120 min. Under cloudy atmospheric conditions, pollen remained viable up to 450 min, with about 20% longevity after 360 min. No significant difference was found between GM and non-GM plants in their pollen longevity.
