In order to establish the optimal soil moisture, seeding date and nitrogen fertilization, yield and its components grown at 3 different seeding dates and 2 nitrogen fertilizations were compared and analyzed in adaly(Coix lachyma-jobi L. var. mayuen). The results are summarized as follows: Heading date and maturity date were earlier in early seeding date than in late seeding date. Days to heading was shortened as the seeding date was late. Stem length, stem diameter, and tiller number were increased in irrigation than control, and were decreased as the seeding date was late. The top and the root dry weight were increased in irrigation than in control, and were decreased as the seeding date was late. Net photosynthetic rate was increased significantly in irrigation. Occurrance of leaf blight disease was much lower in irrigation than in control. 1000 grain weight and grain yield were higher in irrigation than in control, and were decreased as the seeding date was late. Rate of sterility was lower in irrigation than in control.

The processing properties for rice bread were examined using eight kinds of endosperm mutant rice. The varietal differences among eight kinds of endosperm mutant rice having the respective sugar contents and amylose contents were studied. The water absorptions of these eight cultivars were observed to have significant differences among the cultivars, revealing the water absorption ability of Shrunken(shr.) was 61.5%, and that of Punchilmi(fl) was 48.4%. In addition, the experiments using Whachungbyeo, Nampungbyeo and their mutant cultivars showed that the maximum water absorption was tend to be negatively correlated with the amylose content of each rice cultivars. This study also showed that the rice breads made by dry-milling was better in shape, mechanical properties(hardness, springiness, adhesiveness, chewiness) and texture tested using sensory evaluation than that made by wet-milling.

The preventive effect of Lentinus edodes extract (LE) against constipation was studied in rats. Rats were pretreated with LE contained in drinking water at the concentration of 10%, 20% and 40% over 30 days. Constipation was induced by subcutaneous injection of loperamide (4 mg/kg/day) 3 days prior to sacrifice. Treatment of loperamide resulted in decreases in the number and wet weight of fecal pellets, and increase in the number of fecal pellet in the distal colon and cecocolon weight. In contrast, the number and wet weight of fecal pellets were increased, and the number of fecal pellet in the distal colon and the cecocolon weight were decreased in LE-pretreated groups compared to the loperamide-treated group. Blood parameters such as white blood cell, red blood cell, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and serum alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities, and blood urea nitrogen and creatinine values were not significantly different between the groups. In addition, LE (0.5 mg/mL) increased spontaneous contractile activity, which was reduced by atropine or loperamide in isolated rat ileum. Theses results suggest that the improvement of constipation symptoms in LE-pretreated rats resulted from a stimulatory effect of LE on intestine contractile activity.

본 연구는 초분광 영상을 이용하여 수박 모종의 수분함량을 비파괴적으로 추정하기 위해 수행되었다. 단계적으로 수분 스트레스를 받은 수박(n=45) 모종을 초분광 영상시스템으로 촬영하여 모종 영역의 반사율을 추출하였고, 매 촬영 후 모종의 생체중과 건물중을 측정하여 수분함량을 계산하였다. 모종의 반사율과 계측된 수분함량을 변수로 하여 Partial Least Square Regression(PLSR) 분석을 이용하여 수분 추정 모델을 구축하였다. 수분 추정모델을 작성한 결과 Calibration(Cal.)의 정확도($R^2$)는 0.66, 정밀도(RMSE 및 RE)는 각각 1.06%, 1.14%로 나타났다. 수박 모종의 수분함량 추정모델의 정밀도는 상당히 높게 나타났으나 정확도는 낮게 나타났다. 정확도를 개선하기 위해 Confidence ellipses의 신뢰구간을 95%로 설정하였을 때 3개의 모종이 타원 밖에 위치하는 것을 발견하였으며 이를 제거 후 재분석을 하였다. 3개의 모종을 제외한 수박 모종의 수분함량 추정모델의 정확도는 0.82, 정밀도는 0.73%, 0.78%로 나타났다. 3개의 모종을 제외함으로서 모델의 정확도 및 정밀도가 상승하여 3개의 모종이 정확도 및 정밀도를 낮추는 원인이라 판단된다. 작물은 가뭄스트레스를 받을수록 반사율이 낮아지지만(Yang et al., 2010) 3개의 모종은 다른 모종의 수분함량에 비해 반사율이 큰 차이를 나타내어 정확도 및 정밀도를 낮춘 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해 초분광 영상을 이용하여 수박 모종의 수분함량 추정가능성을 시사하였고, 모델의 정확도를 개선하기 위해 샘플 수 및 수분함량의 변이를 증가시키는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

1960년대 산업화와 도시화 이전 우리나라 하천은 모래, 자갈 사주가 경관생태의 대부분을 이룬 이른바 'White River'이었으나, '70년대 이후 댐건설, 하천정비 등으로 유황과 유사이송 특성이 변하면서 수변에 식생이 번무하는 이른바 'Green River'가 진행 중이다. 하천에서 식생활착은 생태 측면에서 생물 종의 다양성에 일부 긍정적인 역할을 하는 반면에, 고유종이 감소, 소멸하는 문제가 생긴다. 치수 측면에서는 흐름저항 증가와 하도의 고착화를 촉진시켜 치수 안정성에 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구는 사주 상 식생활착 현상을 정량적으로 규명하기 위한 연구의 시작으로서, 하천 식생사주역에서 식생활착에 직접적인 영향을 주는 소류력과 토양 수분 등 2대 물리 요소 중에서 후자에 초점을 맞추어 토양수분 요인과 식생 이입, 활착, 천이와의 관계를 규명한다. 이를 위해 모래하천인 낙동강 제1지류 내성천의 국가하천 구간 하류 지점인 회룡포 직상류 약 4km 지점을 시험하천 구간으로 선정하여 하천수위, 지하수위, 토양수분을 연속적으로 측정할 수 있는 시설을 설치하였다. 이러한 관측 시설을 가지고 1차적으로 2010년 8월부터 2011년 4월 초까지 지하수위와 하천수위, 토양수분을 연속적으로 모니터링하고 상호 관계를 분석하였다. 사주 상 식생 활착 특성도 주기적으로 조사하였다. 이번 일차 기초 조사 및 분석 결과, 하안에서 약 140-240m에 위치한 지하수위 관측정에서 측정된 지하수위는 하천수위 변화에 비해 시간적으로 약 20시간 지체되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 사주 토양수분은 일반적으로 지하 깊이에 따라 커지나, 동시에 토층구조(soil texture)에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

Effect of water activity $(0.32{\sim}0.89)$ on the physicochemical properties of sweet potato starch during the storage for 5, 15 and 30 days at $40^{\circ}C$ was investigated. Shapes and sizes of starch granules were not changed. X-ray diffraction patterns of the starches appeared equally Ca-crystal structure. Sorption isotherm with storage day was sigmoidal. A slight loss of iodine affinity, increase in water binding capacity, and decrease in swelling power at $80^{\circ}C$ occurred as water activities increased. Viscosity pattern under Brabender Amylogram was not significantly changed with water activity, but initial pasting temperature decreased as water activity increased. The viscosity at $50^{\circ}C$, consistency and setback were increased with increasing storage day and water activity.

Gold catalysts supported on metal-oxides were prepared by co-precipitation using the various metal nitrates and chloroauric acid as precursors, and effect of water addition on the catalytic activity in CO oxidation was investigated. Among the various supported gold catalysts, Au/$Co_{3}O_{4}$ and Au/ZnO catalysts showed the excellent activity for CO oxidation. Water in the reactant gas had a negative effect on the oxidation activity over Au/$Co_{3}O_{4}$ catalysts and a positive effect on that over Au/ZnO, which means the activity depends strongly on the nature of support. It was also confirmed that no significant change in the particle size of gold was observed after reaction both in dry and wet conditions. This fact suggested that the deactivated catalyst due to a carbonate species could be regenerated by water addition in the reactant gas.

Using starch gel electrophoresis, ten isozyme loci were examined in nine populations of Euphorbia ebracteolata in Korea. Populations of E. ebracteolata tend to have higher within-population levels of genetic variation (A = 2.2, P = 61.1, He = 0.165) along with low levels of genetic differentiation ($F_{ST}$ = 0.075) compared to previously reported Euphorbia species. The relatively high genetic variation in E. ebracteolata may be due to its long-lived regional distribution and to the outcrossed nature of the species. Low levels of genetic differentiation and the absence of unique alleles in E. ebracteolata populations suggest that Korean populations diverged recently. This study does not support the recognition of var. coreana and for. magna as separate taxa, and suggests that they should be combined with E. ebracteolata.

Near infrared reflectance(NIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the degree of retrogradation of cooked rice. Cooked rice samples were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 120 hours, and the degree of retrogradation was measured at every 6 hour during the storage time. Stored cooked rices were freeze-dried, milled and passed through a 100 mesh sieve. Enzymatic method using glucoamylase was used as reference method for the determination of the degree of retrogradation. Spectral differences due to retrogradation of cooked rice were observed at 1434, 1700, 1928, 2100, 2284 and 2320 nm. 32 samples of which moisture content were below 5% were used for calibration set, and 16 samples were used for validation set. High correlations were achieved between degree of retrogradation determined by conventional enzymatic method and by NIR with multiple correlation coefficient of 0.9753, and a standard error of calibration(SEC) of 3.64%. Comparable results were obtained with 3.91% of standard error of prediction(SEP), when the calibration equation was applied to independent group of samples of which moisture contents were in the range of calibration set. But when the calibration equation was applied to samples of which moisture contents were outer range of calibration set, SEP and bias were increased and correlation coefficient was decreased. The determination of degree of retrogradation was affected by sample moisture content. To determine degree of retrogradation of cooked rice by NIR using this calibration equation, it was suggested that sample moisture content should be controlled to below 5%.

The effects of heat-moisture treatment (HMT) on the functional properties of high amylose rice starches (HARSes) purified from Korean rice varieties (A-type Goami and Singil and B-type Dodamssal and Goami2) were investigated. HMT was accomplished with moisture contents of 18 and 27% and heated at 100℃ for 16 h. While the amylose content, swelling power and solubility decreased after HMT, the water binding capacity and resistant starch (RS) content increased with increasing moisture content after HMT. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all HARSes did not change after HMT, but a decrease in the intensity of peak at 2θ=5° was observed in B-type HMT HARSes. While the starch granules aggregated after HMT, their shape and size remained unchanged. B-type HARSes exhibited higher gelatinization temperatures and lower pasting viscosities than A-type HARSes following HMT. The results, thus, suggest that while the crystalline intensity of B-type Dodamssal and Goami2 rice starches did not change after HMT, the RS content, water binding capacity, and pasting temperatures of all HARSes increased with increasing moisture content after HMT.
