The simulation of electric field distribution of discharge tube with globular $Al_2O_3$ and the removal characteristic of Escherichia coli by the discharge tube with globular $Al_2O_3$ were estimated. The removal characteristic of Escherichia coli was related to the input voltage because the electric field is increased according to input voltage. As the passing amount of test water in discharge tube is increased, the removal ratio of Escherichia coli was increased because passing numbers of electric field section is increased. As the particle size of globular $Al_2O_3$ increased, the removal time of Escherichia coli was shortened due to the dielectric polarization of globular dielectric $Al_2O_3$. Also, the removal efficiency of Escherichia coli for the discharge tube with globular dielectric $Al_2O_3$ was higher than that of the discharge tube without it.

본 연구에서는, 전기적 충격이 없고 넓은 면적을 동시에 처리할 수 있는 형태의 유전체 장벽 방전(DBD: Dielectric Barrier Discharge)을 이용한 대기압 저온 플라즈마 장치를 제작하고 이를 이용하여 빵 곰팡이(Neurospora crassa) 살균에 대한 기본 분석을 하였다. 실험에 사용한 저온 대기압 면방전 플라즈마의 파워는 사인파 교류전압을 인가하여, 방전전압은 1.4~2.3 kV, 방전전류는 20~30 mA의 값을 가지며, 전압과 전류의 위상차는 약 80도의 기울기 차이가 난다. 이때의 출력은 약 4 W를 가지며, 공랭식 쿨러를 이용하여 유전체의 열을 배출하였다. 시료대의 온도 측정결과 방전과 동시에 쿨러를 작동할 경우 최대 10분에서 37도를 넘지 않았다. 장치에서 발생하는 플라즈마에 의한 O3의 양은 플라즈마 발생부로부터 10 mm 이내에서 약 25~30 ppm 이 측정되었으며, NO나 NO2 는 거의 검지되지 않았다. 증류수(Deionized water)속에 담긴 빵 곰팡이(Neurospora crassa) 포자를 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치로 처리하였을 때, 포자의 발아율은 처리시간 및 출력파워가 증가함에 따라 급격히 감소하였으나 VM (Vogel's Minimal) 배양액에 넣고 플라즈마 처리를 한 경우에는, 증류수의 결과와 달리 살균효과가 미비함을 보였다. MTT 측정법 또한 같은 경향성을 보였으며, 이를 통해 포자를 둘러싸고 있는 환경이 플라즈마의 살균효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. 본 실험을 통해, 유전체 장벽을 이용한 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치가 플라즈마 제트(jet)와 달리 직접적인 플라즈마 접촉 없이도 미생물 살균이 가능하다는 것을 보았으며, 처리대상의 생체용액과 같은 주변 환경에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 면방전 플라즈마 장치로부터 발생하는 O3과 같은 활성종들이 빵 곰팡이의 비활성화에도 역할을 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

합성화학물질들이 환경으로의 유입은 인체에는 물론 환경생태계에 많은 영향을 미치므로 이들의 유해성 검증은 매우 중요한 일이라 할 수 있다. 실제 산업체에서 사용되는 수많은 화학물질들의 유전적 손상 유발유무는 유해성검증에서 무엇보다 중요한 일이라 할 수 있다. 이에 산업체 공정과정에서 널리 사용되는 것으로 알려진 11종의 합성화학물질에 대해 마우스의 골수 세포를 이용한 in vivo소핵시험을 수행하여, 소핵형성 유발유무를 관찰하였다. 양성대조군으로 사용된 mitomycin C는 음성대조군과 비교시 유의하게 소핵을 유발하는 반면, 비교적 마우스에서 높은 50%치사량을 보이는 thiourea, 2,4-dichlorophenol 및 2,4-toluene diisocyanate 등의 합성물질들을 비롯한 나머지 8종의 물질들은 본 실험결과 통계적으로 유의하게 소핵을 유발하지 않는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

Attempts were made to define the elements of debates, impact of decisions of the Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit-sharing(ABS) of the Conference of the Parties(COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity(CBD) In Korea. Providing policy suggestions to cope with ABS, a cross-cutting issue of the meetings of the COP, was also undertaken. Meetings concerning ABS deal with several key matters such as an international regime, which is a legally binding implementation tool of the Bonn Guidelines, an international certificate of genetic resources' origin/source/legal provenance, and disclosure of origin of genetic resources, compliance measures with prior informed consent of the Contracting Parties providing such resources and with mutually agreed terms on which access was granted. Developing countries, rich in biodiversity and genetic resources, use the CBD as a major tool to maximize their national profits. They demand for national sovereign rights for the genetic resources and indigenous communities providing associated traditional knowledge. At the meetings of the COP, in addition, they requested that developed countries should transfer technologies and provide a financial mechanism for resource conservation to them. On the contrary, the developed countries argue that facilitating access to genetic resources is essential for scientific research and development, and that both Intellectual Property Rights and biotechnology using genetic resources should be protected to maximize their national benefits. Decisions of the COP concerning the Bonn Guidelines and compliance measures with ABS will affect on various socioeconomic fields of Korea, a country which is short of genetic resources. Especially, the importation of genetic resources and land development which might damage genetic resources will be limited seriously. Consequently, overall expenses will increase for the securing genetic resources from the foreign countries and developing biotechnology for conservation and sustainable uses of genetic resources. To minimize the adverse impacts, we endeavor to establish our clear standpoint and to lead the international trends, which are favorable for us. In order to achieve these objectives, government needs i) to proceed researches to lead the international ABS debates actively and to prepare the expected decisions of the future meetings of the COP, ii) to establish a national implementation plan to cope with the ABS and its related decisions, iii) to examine and improve the efficiencies of the national implementation plan with a proper monitoring system, and iv) cope with the other international meetings including the meetings of Trade Related Intellectual Properly Rights and International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture actively.

Individual phenotype is mostly influenced by genetic factors as well as the effects of environmental factors. Therefore, adjustment of environmental factors are needed in order to see more clearly the effects of genetic factors that we are interested in gene screening study related to Hanwoo's economic trait. The purpose of this study is to propose new statistical model that was adjusted environmental factor and identify adjustment effect in a superior gene marker screening study for producing high quality Hanwoo. First, statistical model including both genetic factor and environmental factor establishes and adjusted value of economic trait find by removing effect of environmental factor such as age, breeding farm. Finally, we identify superior gene marker combination and compare accuracy by applying MDR to data of before and after adjustment. Economic trait is used C18:1, SFA, MUFA, MS, CWT, BFT and SNP marker is used 6 markers of LPL that were identified as more excellent SNP marker than the others among 49 markers through fatty acid composition and economic trait performance test.

Linear mixed model has often been utilized for genetic association analysis with family-based samples. The correlation matrix for family-based samples is constructed with kinship coefficient and assumes that parental phenotypes are independent and the amount of correlations between parent and offspring is same as that of correlations between siblings. However, for instance, there are positive correlations between parental heights, which indicates that the assumption for correlation matrix is often violated. The statistical validity and power are affected by the appropriateness of assumed variance covariance matrix, and in this thesis, we provide the linear mixed model with flexible variance covariance matrix. Our results show that the proposed method is usually more efficient than existing approaches, and its application to genome-wide association study of body mass index illustrates the practical value in real data analysis.

Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) is a bush that grows well at special cultural environments such as acid soil, high organic matter content, and a good drainage and aeration compared to other general crops. Blueberries are well known to contain high amounts of anthocyanins and phenolic compounds, resulting in high antioxidant activity that provides health benefits, and expanding the cultivation areas and consumer's demand in the worldwide. However, the full genome of blueberry has not been announced until now. Furthermore, the genomic analysis and transcriptome approaches are not so popular compare to major crops such as orange, apple, and grape. The aim of the review about blueberry genomic research is to establish the platform for setting blueberry breeding target, increasing proficiency of blueberry research, and making the practical cultivation techniques in Korea. The main topics in the blueberry genomic research including transcriptome, genetic mapping, and various markers are related with cold hardiness, chilling requirement, hot tolerance, anthocyanin content, and flavonoid synthesis pathway on various tissues like flower bud, leaf bud, shoot, root, and berry fruit. The review of the current status of blueberry genomic research will provide basic information to the breeders and researchers and will contribute to development of blueberry industry with sustainable productions and increase of blueberry consumption as new profitable crops in Korea.
