In Volvariella volvacea, a species of edible mushroom, cryogenic autolysis is a typical part of abnormal metabolism. Previous functional annotation cluster analyses of cold-induced gene expression profiles have shown that the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 (UBE2) and the cyclin-like F-box domain (FBDC) form the functional clusters. Among them, a specific FBDC gene has been found to be in response to cold stress and correlated with the cryogenic autolysis of V. volvacea. In this study, analysis of gene expression profiling showed that only one type of UBE2 in V. volvacea (UBEV2) was significantly up-regulated. Further quantitative real-time PCR analysis confirmed that the expression of UBEV2 was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05) after cold-treatment lasting 4, 6, and 8 h. Western-bolt analyses confirmed that the protein expression of UBEV2 was in response to cold stress. This provided evidence that UBEV2 was a cold stress-responsive gene and closely correlated with cryogenic autolysis. The specific distribution of UBEV2 in recently diverged herb decay fungi indicated that UBEV2 was not evolutionarily correlated with early diverging fungi. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that UBEV2 was generated by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from the ancestry of Selaginella moellendorffii UBE2. Further relative time estimation and detection of natural selection showed that there has been recent positive selection after HGT in UBEV2. Molecular modeling and logo analysis showed that the cysteine-cysteine motif is the characteristic of the UBEV2 family. These observations indicate that UBEV2 and FBDV1 are the newly discovered cold stress-responsive genes correlated with the cryogenic autolysis of V. volvacea.

The residual stress analysis and fatigue test of a steel plate with a hole were performed in order to investigate the effects of the cold expansion on the fatigue life of the plate. The cold expansion method is a metal forming process by expanding a hole in order to induce compressive tangential residual stresses near the hole. In this research, a S45C steel plate of 3.2 mm thickness with a hole of 4.318 mm diameter was cold expanded by using a mandrel, resulting in a degree of expansion 1.47%. A significant amount of compressive tangential residual stress of 502 MPa at the hole surface was calculated using the finite element analysis and the compressive residual stress was more widely spreaded in the entry and exit planes than the mid plane in the plate thickness. The compressive tangential residual stresses showed a very beneficial influence on the fatigue life of the plate by increasing 1.2 to 2 times longer lives compared to the plate without cold expansion, depending on the applied load levels. Fatigue crack initiated and propagated at the hole surface of the mandrel entrance region, where relatively lower magnitude of compressive residual stress was found than the other region.

저온스트레스에 따른 차나무 잎의 변화와 카테킨, 카페인, 아미노산대사 그리고 환원당 등 다양한 대사물의 함량 변화를 구명하였다. 저온스트레스 피해를 입은 실외포장의 차나무 잎은 세포크기, 기공 및 엽맥세포의 크기가 저온스트레스를 입지 않은 온실 재배 녹차잎에 비해 작았다. 저온스트레스 피해를 입은 실외포장의 차나무 잎에서 카페인과 카테킨의 함량은 온실 재배 차나무보다 높았다. 그러나 아미노산의 함량은 저온스트레스 피해를 입은 실외포장의 차나무 잎보다 온실에서 재배한 차나무가 높았다. 환원당 함량은 실외포장의 차나무에서 낮았다. 인위적 저온스트레스 처리 결과 환원당의 함량은 저온스트레스 처리 2시간까지는 증가하였다가 이후는 감소하였다. 이 결과는 저온스트레스가 차나무 잎의 형태적 변화와 더불어 카페인과 카테킨 그리고 당 등 대사물의 영향을 미친다는 것을 나타낸다.

Canine herpesvirus (CHV) is a member of the alphaherpesvirus subfamily, which can cause severe hemorrhagic diseases in neonatal pups as well as mild or subclinical respiratory infections in adult dogs. We examined the effects of cold stress on disease progression of CHV, an alphaherpesvirus, in neonatal puppies. Eight puppies were challenged intranasally with CHV suspension and divided into a cold stress treatment group and a hyperthermal group. Four pups were left uninoculated as controls and divided into cold and hyperthermal groups. In the challenged cold treatment group, all pups showed CHV-related disease within 5 days; pathological changes were observed in organs of puppies showing clinical symptoms. Grossly, numerous petechial red foci were scattered throughout lungs, kidneys, livers, and intestines of all CHV-infected puppies exposed to cold stress. Most puppies showed typical clinical signs and macroscopic lesions, and CHV infection was confirmed by isolation of the virus. However, in the challenged hyperthermal group, only one of the pups showed mild symptoms of CHV-induced disease. None of the puppies in the uninoculated group showed abnormal signs, although they were exposed to cold stress. These findings indicate that cold stress can cause rapid disease progression of CHV, an alphaherpesvirus.

가압 경수로형 원전에 사용되는 Alloy 600 증기발생기 전열관재료의 입계응력부식균열 거동에 미치는 냉간변형의 영향을 1차 냉각수 모사조건에서 정속인장시험방법으로 조사하였다. 인장 냉간변형은 응력부식균열을 크게 가속화 시키지는 않았으며 변형량이 25%이상인 경우에는 응력부식균열이 발생하지 않았다. 이 현상은 냉간 변형량 및 형태에 따른 미소변형 및 응력의 불균질성에 영향을 받는 것으로 사려되며 응력의 크기는 직접적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 보인다. 국부적인 큰 응력구배가 존재하는 경우 균열의생성 및 성장이 현저히 가속화되었는데 이는 원전 1차측 응력부식균열 기구가 응력구배에 의존하는 과정과 연관되어 있다는 증거이다. Hump 시편을 이용한 정속인장시험방법은 짧은 실험기간내에 원전 1차측 응력부식균열 특성을 평가할 수 있는 방법이었다.

이산화탄소 농도가 높은 도심지의 경우 탄산화로 인한 철근부식이 발생하기 쉬우며 이는 콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명을 감소시킨다. 콘크리트 구조물의 경우 다양한 구속조건을 가지며 항상 외부의 재하하중을 받고 있다. 도입된 응력수준은 이산화탄소와 같은 유해인자의 확산을 변화시키며 탄산화 깊이의 변동성을 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 응력재하수준에 따른 탄산화 변동성을 정량화하였으며, 이를 이용하여 탄산화 예측식을 도출하였다. 내구성 설계인자인 피복두께, 이산화탄소 확산계수, 탄산화 반응 수화물, 그리고 외부 이산화탄소 농도를 확률 변수로 정의하였으며, MCS을 통하여 영향인자의 변동성에 따른 내구수명을 도출하였다. 또한 응력수준에 따라 변화하는 내구수명을 도출하였으며, 이를 결정론적인 방법의 결과와 비교하였다. 피복두께 및 내부 수화물 생성이 내구수명 변동성에 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 응력수준 을 고려한 내구수명평가는 유지관리 우선순위 설정에 합리적으로 적용할 수 있다.

In rice, the stage of the meiosis in the pollen is sensitive stage resulted in the pollen sterility to reduce yield. Dianxi4 is a cold tolerant line. To monitoring the proteome expression patterns in the pollen of Dianxi4 under the cold stress, shotgun proteomic analysis was conducted to the anther of Dianxi4. The rice plant was grown in the peedy rice field then in the 10 DBH(days before heading), one individual rice plant was moved in the growth chamber under the condition of12℃/RH70%(12h day/12h night). Also the plant used as control was moved in the growth chamber unde the condition of 28℃/RH70%(12h day/12h night). after 4 days treatment, the plant were moved in a greenhouse. The treated rice anther were collected in the one day before heading. From the shotgun proteomic analysis, total of 3,855 non-redundant proteins were identified. Among them, 2,360 proteins were reproducibly identified through the treatment and replications. By the T-test, 1,181 differentially expressed proteins were detected. Through the GO analysis, proteins related in gene expression, cellular process, cellular biosynthetic process were enriched.

Plant bZIP transcription factors play crucial roles in biological processes. In this study, 136 putative bZIP transcription members were identified in Brassica rapa. The bZIP family can be divided into nine groups according to the specific amino acid rich domain in Brassica rapa. To screen the cold stress responsive BrbZIP genes, we evaluated whether the transcription patterns of the BrbZIP genes were enhanced by cold treatment in the inbred lines, Chiifu and Kenshin, by microarray data analysis and qRT-PCR. The expression level of six genes increased significantly in Kenshin, but these genes were unchanged in Chiffu. Additionally, homo- and hetero-dimerization test between selected bZIP proteins indicated the Bra020735 is a key regulator in cold response. These findings suggest that the six genes that encoded proteins containing N-rich regions might be involved in cold stress response. These results presented herein provide valuable information regarding the molecular basis of the bZIP transcription factors and their potential function in regulation growth and development, particularly in cold stress response.

Flavonoids are divided into several structural classes, including anthocyanins, which provide flower and leaf colors and other derivatives with diverse roles in plant development and interactions with the environment. This study characterized four Anthocyanidin Synthase (ANS) genes of Brassica rapa, a structural gene of anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway, and investigated their association with cold and freezing tolerance in B. rapa. Sequences of these genes were analyzed and compared with similar types of gene sequences of other species and found a high degree of homology with their respective functions. In the organ specific expression analysis, these genes showed expression only in the colored portion of leaves of different lines of B. rapa. On the other hand, BrANS genes also showed differential expression with certain time course of cold stress treatment in B. rapa. Thus, the above results suggest probable association of these genes with anthocyanin biosynthesis and cold and freezing tolerance and might be useful resources for developing cold resistant Brassica crops with desirable colors as well. The present work may help explore the molecular mechanism that regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis and its response to abiotic stress at the transcriptional level in plants.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world. Yet, its sensitivity to cold stress, especially at the seedling stage, could limit the production. Until now, only, few studies about heritably durable cold tolerance were carried out in cabbage. Hence this study was done to characterize the transcriptome profiles of two cabbage genotypes with contrasting responses to cold stress using Illumina Hiseq short read (paired-end) sequencing technology. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of short, non-coding, endogenous RNAs which play important roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Thisstudy,wesoughttoprovideamorecomprehensivepredictionofB. oleracea cold responsive miRNAs based on high through put sequencing using two contrasting genotypes. The raw sequences were processed for removal of poor-quality and adaptor sequences. Then, the high quality unigenes (58,094) reads were applied for length filtering. Then, unigenes reads were used in a BLASTN search against of Rfam database and known miRNA database (miRBase 18.0) to removal of non-coding RNA’s and identifies conserved miRNA’s in B. oleracea. Further, novel reads were searched against B. oleracea genome. Their flanking sequences in the genome were used to predict their secondary structures, target prediction, and functional analysis. This is first report to identify novel miRNAs for cold stress through high throughput techniques. Our findings will provide an overview of potential miRNAs involved in cold stress, which may provide important clues on the function of miRNAs in from B. oleracea and other closely related Brassica species.

Flavonoids including anthocyanins provide flower and leaf colors and other derivatives that play diverse roles in plant development and interactions with the environment and dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) is part of an important step in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway of anthocyanins. This study characterized 12 DFR genes of Brassica rapa and investigated their association with anthocyanin coloration, cold and freezing tolerance in several genotypes of B. rapa. Sequences of these genes were analyzed and compared with DFR gene sequences from other species and a high degree of homology was found. Constitutive expression of them in several pigmented and non-pigmented lines of B. rapa showed a correlation with anthocyanin accumulation only for BrDFR8 and 9. Conversely, BrDFR genes also showed responses to cold and freezing stress treatment in B. rapa. BrDFRs were also shown to be regulated by two transcription factors, BrMYB2-2 and BrTT8, contrasting with anthocyanin accumulation and cold and freezing stress. Thus, the above results suggest the association of these genes with anthocyanin biosynthesis and cold and freezing stress tolerance and might be useful resources for development cold and/or freezing resistant Brassica crops with desirable colors as well. The findings presented here may also help explore the molecular mechanism that regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis and its response to abiotic stress at the transcriptional level in plants.

Low temperature stress is one of the major negative factors affecting vegetative and reproductive growth of rice. To better understand responses of rice plants to low temperature we analyzed transcriptome expression patterns in glumous flower of cold-tolerant japonica rice variety, Stejaree45, and cold-susceptible variety, HR19621-AC6 at booting stage under cold water irrigation. A total of 2,411 probes were differentially expressed by low temperature in glumous flowers of the two varieties. Some important genes involved in hormone biosynthesis showed variety-specific regulation. Expression of GA20ox3 and GA2ox, among the genes involved in GA biosynthesis, was regulated differentially in the two varieties. Among the genes involved in IAA biosynthesis, YUCCA1 and TAA1:1 showed variety-specific regulation. Among the genes involved in cytokinin biosynthsis and signaling, expression of LOG, HK1 and HK3 was significantly down-regulated only in the cold-susceptible variety. Among the genes involved in ABA biosynthesis, NSY and AAO3 were down-regulated only in the cold-tolerant variety. In general, genes involved in GA, IAA and cytokinin biosynthesis responded to cold temperature in such a way that capacity of those bioactive hormones is maintained at relatively higher levels under cold temperature in the cold-tolerant variety, which can help minimize cold stress imposed to developing reproductive organs in the cold-tolerant variety.
