Brassinosteroid (BR), a plant steroid hormone, plays key roles in numerous growth and developmental processes as well as tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stress. To understand the biological networks involved in BR-mediated signaling pathways and stress tolerance, we performed comparative genome-wide transcriptome analysis of a constitutively activated BR bes1-D mutant with an Agilent Arabidopsis $4{\times}44K$ oligo chip. As a result, we newly identified 1,091 (562 up-regulated and 529 down-regulated) significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The combination of GO enrichment and protein network analysis revealed that stress-related processes, such as metabolism, development, abiotic/biotic stress, immunity, and defense, were critically linked to BR signaling pathways. Among the identified gene sets, we confirmed more than a 6-fold up-regulation of NB-ARC and FLS2 in bes1-D plants. However, some genes, including TIR1, TSA1 and OCP3, were down-regulated. Consistently, BR-activated plants showed higher tolerance to drought stress and pathogen infection compared to wild-type controls. In this study, we newly developed a useful, comprehensive method for large-scale identification of critical network and gene sets with global transcriptome analysis using a microarray. This study also showed that gain of function in the bes1-D gene can regulate the adaptive response of plants to various stressful conditions.

Recently, global warming has widened the habitat of mosquitoes and infection chances for mosquito-borne diseases are increasing. Flavivirus is a typical mosquito-borne virus. Flaviviruses with a relatively high frequency of infection in Asian countries include Zika, Dengue, and Japanese encephalitis viruses. Although distinctive diagnosis of flaviviruses is required because the symptoms and therapeutic method differ, there is no diagnostic method that can distinguish them accurately yet. In this study, we propose distinctive diagnosis method of flaviviruses using informations and analysis tools constructed in bioinformatic databases. The envelope protein and non-structural protein 1 which are useful protein for the immuno-diagnostics of three flaviviruses were selected. Their homology was analyzed by multiple sequence alignments and epitope candidates consisting of 10-15 amino acids were selected. Finally two epitopes were suggested to be most useful by immunogenicity analysis and 3D structure prediction. These approaches and results are expected to be great value in the distinctive diagnosis of three flaviviruses with a high frequency of infection in Asian countries.

This study was conducted to provide the reproductive biological information and basic data on the artificial sex control of Haliotis discus hannai. The morphological sex differentiation process of H. discus hannai could be classified into following five phases: 1) formation of gonad outer membrane (FGOM) (${\leq}SL\;10.0{\pm}1.0mm$), 2) primordial germ cells (PGCs) appearance in the connective tissue between intestine and hepatopancreas (PAC), and formation of gonadal cavity (FGC) (SL $15.0{\pm}2.0mm$), 3) PGCs appearance in the epithelial layer of gonadal cavity (PAG) (SL $18.0{\pm}2.0mm$), 4) formation of gametogenic follicle and appearance of early oocytes and spermatogonia (FGOC) (SL $21.0{\pm}2.0mm$), 5) morphological sex differentiation (MSD) (${\geq}SL\;23.0{\pm}2.0mm$). From histological analysis sex differentiation rate in SL 24.1-25.0 mm of H. discus hannai was 90.0% and sex ratio (female : male) was 1:0.8.

최근 수질환경보전법의 개정법률(안)에 의거하여 폐.하수종말처리장에 수온, pH, 생물학적산소요구량(BOD), 화학적산소요구량(COD), 총질소(TN), 총인(TP) 및 부유물질(SS)의 자동으로 측정할 수 있는 수질자동측정기의 부착이 의무화될 예정에 있다. 그러나, 현재 전국적으로 화학적산소요구량 측정장비와 같이 일부 항목에 대한 자동측정장치는 설치.운영 중인 곳이 많이 있으나, 수질 TMS 설치 규정에 나와 있는 전 항목을 측정할 수 있는 장비가 설치되어 운영하는 곳은 극히 일부에 불과한 실정이다. 따라서, 수온, pH, 화학적산소요구량(COD), 총질소(TN), 총인(TP), 부유물질(SS) 자동측정 장치를 설치하고, 무선통신(CDMA) 방식을 이용하여 '방류수 수질 원격감시체계(TMS) 시범 운영'을 통하여, 측정 장비들에 대한 자료의 정확성, 신뢰성을 파악하여 설치될 장비들에 대한 성능을 사전에 평가하고, 수질 TMS 시스템에 대한 현장 적응 능력 및 안정성을 파악하여 실질적으로 운영되는 시점에 좀 더 정확하고 실용적인 시스템을 적용하고자 한다.

16S rRNA를 분석한 연구들은 자연 생태계에서 추출한 핵산을 이용하여 16rRNA 유전자의 염기서열을 분석하거나 특정 DNA probe를 이용한 hybridization 실험이 주류를 이루어 왔다. 특히 PCR 기법이 개발됨에 따라 적은 양의 시료를 대량으로 손쉽게 증폭시킬 수 있어 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있다. 세균 군집의 구조를 이해하는데 있어서 PCR 방법의 적용 대상은 주로 16S rRNA 유전자의 염기서열 해독분야이며 해양 생태계를 대상으로 많은 연구 결과가 보고되었다(11,13,21,26). 한편 자연 생태계의 개별적 미생물 분류룬들을 검출하기 위한 특정 oligonucleotide probe의 개발방법들은 미생물 군집의 유전적 다양성에 대한 정보 파악 이외에 배양이 어려운 혐기성 세균과 같은 특정 세균들의 동정에도 이용되고 있다(3,24,55). 본고에서는 세균 군집의 구조와 다양성을 연구하는데 적용 가능한 rRNA 분석방법들을 수계 생태계를 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다.

Emergent process or behaviour can be seen in many places, from any multicellular biological organism to traffic patterns, cities or organizational phenomena in computer simulations. Similarly, the concept of 'Green IT' refers to the way complex systems and patterns arise inevitably among groups due to environmental concerns in real world. Green IT has good possibility to evolve as very chaotic system, in which the number of interactions between components increases geometrically with the number of components, thus potentially allowing for many new types of behaviour to emerge. However, when Green IT system regards as a complexity one, there exits some attractors to derive and control the system. In this context, this paper presents a new model based on type-2 fuzzy logic system to identify and assess the attractors of Green IT system which correspond to Reach-Richness matrix of Green IT.

Marker genes are defined as genes in which the expression level characterizes a specific experimental condition. Such genes in which the expression levels differ significantly between different groups are highly informative relevant to the studied phenomenon. In this paper, first the system can detect marker genes that are selected by ranking genes according to statistics after normalizing data with methods that are the most widely used among several normalization methods proposed the while, And it compare and analyze a performance of each of normalization methods with mult-perceptron neural network layer. The Result that apply Multi-Layer perceptron algorithm at Microarray data set including eight of marker gene that are selected using ANOVA method after Lowess normalization represent the highest classification accuracy of 99.32% and the lowest prediction error estimate.
