Many crops including cereals, tuber crops, feeds, and turf grasses are often damaged by various environmental stresses such as drought, salt, cold, and high temperature, causing the reduction of their productivity. Plants are sessile and cannot escape from environmental stresses. Thus, plants evolve in the direction of overcoming the environmental stresses. Some plant genes such as ARF, ABI3, NAC, HSF, and WRKY are known to respond to environmental stresses as they transcriptionally regulate the stress response pathways. For example, the OsWRKY76 gene contributes to the enhanced resistance to low temperatures and pathogenic infections. The AtWRKY28 also plays a role in environmental stresses. Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) is popularly grown for gardens and golf courses. However, the function of the WRKY gene, another environmental stress-related gene, is not known in zoysiagrass. In this study, the ZjWRKY3 and ZjWRKY7 genes with one shared WRKY domain have been isolated in zoysiagrass. The expression of these genes increased in response to low temperature, drought, and salt stresses. Furthermore, the infection of the brown patch-causing Rhozoctonia solani induced the expression of ZjWRKY3 and ZjWRKY7. The corresponding proteins bind to the W-box of the Zjchi promoter, possibly regulating their transcriptions. The researchers suggest that the ZjWRKY3 and ZjWRKY7 genes transcriptionally regulate abiotic and biotic stress related downstream genes.

Oxidative stress is the main limiting factor in crop productivity. To solve global environmental problems using the plant biotechnology, we have developed on the oxidative stress-tolerant transgenic tall fescue plants via Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation method. In order to develop transgenic tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) plants with enhanced tolerance to multiple environmental stresses, nucleotide diphosphate kinase gene under the control of CaMV35S promoter were introduced into genome of tall fescue plants. Proteomic analysis revealed that transgenic tall fescue not only accumulated NDP kinase 2 protein in their cells, but also induced several other antioxindative enzyme-related proteins. When leaf discs of transgenic plants were subjected to cold stress, they showed approximately 30% less damage than wild-type plants. In addition, transgenic tall fescue plants showed normal growth when transgenic plants were subjected to $4^{\circ}C$ for 3 days treatments. These results suggest that transgene is important in ROS scavenging by induction of antioxidative proteins, and could improve abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic tall fescue plants.

본 연구는 온도 변화에 따른 해산송사리, Oryzias dancena의 마취 효과 및 생리적 스트레스 반응을 평가하고, 고온 및 저온에서 최적의 마취 수온을 구명하였다. 해산송사리에서 고온 실험($36{\sim}42^{\circ}C$)과 저온 실험($4{\sim}10^{\circ}C$)을 통해 마취 효과를 조사하였으며, 각 마취수온에서 전어체의 cortisol과 glucose를 측정하였다. 각 수온 마취 실험 후, 전개체는 모두 생존하였으며, 해산송사리의 마취시간은 고온 실험에서 고온 일수록, 저온 실험에서는 저온 일수록 유의적으로 빨랐다(P<0.05). 회복 시간은 유의하게 고온 실험에서 수온이 감소할수록, 저온 실험에서는 수온이 증가할수록 유의적으로 느렸다(P<0.05). 아가미 운동수는, 고온 실험에서 수온이 증가함에 따라 빨랐으며, 저온 실험에서는 수온이 감소할때 빨랐다(P<0.05). 수온이 $38^{\circ}C$ 나 $8^{\circ}C$ 일때의 마취 조건에서 실험직후 전어체 cortisol이 최대치로, 실험후 6시간까지 점진적으로 감소한 반면, 전어체 glucose는 실험후 1시간에 최고치를 보이고 실험후 2시간까지는 감소하였다. 기존의 마취제를 쓰지 않은 본 연구로 인해, 해산송사리의 여타 연구에서 샘플 및 사용자가 보다 더 안전하고 용이한 샘플 취급이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

A chilling-tolerant japonica-type and a chilling-susceptible indica-type of rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants were compared with respect to various physiological parameters during chilling and subsequent recovery. The japonica-type and the indica-type of rice cultivars used were Ilpumbyeo and Taebaekbyeo, respectively. The two rice cultivars exhibited little or no differences in the changes of leaf fresh weight and chlorophyll content during chilling at $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. During subsequent recovery at $25^{\circ}C$, however, Ilpumbyeo restored its growth more rapidly than Taebaekbyeo. Since the changes of relative water content, malondialdehyde production, an estimate of lipid peroxidation, and chlorophyll fluorescence were significantly different in the two rice cultivars during the chilling and subsequent recovery, they were found to be more sensitive physiological parameters than fresh weight and chlorophyll content. However, the differences in relation to water content, malondialdehyde production, and chlorophyll fluorescence between the two rice cultivars were smaller during chilling than those during subsequent recovery. These results suggest that relative water content, malondialdehyde production, and chlorophyll fluorescence could widely be used as important physiological parameters for screening chilling-tolerant plants.

This study was carried out to investigate the applicability of alternating temperature control during night time in a nursery seedling production. Three groups of samples were exposed to three different environmental conditions for 6 days from 18:00 to 09:00; one was constantly 15 ℃, another was alternating between 15 ℃ for 2 hours and 11 ℃ for 2 hours, and the other was alternating between 15 ℃ for 2 hours and 11 ℃ for 4 hours. Leaf temperature and stem temperature was measured in real time. The influence of cold stress was analyzed by flavonoid content and growth of tomato seedling. The temperature of leaves and stem became equal to the ambient temperature over time, furthermore, there was no significant difference among the treatments. In conclusion, it is considered that heating costs can be saved considerably, as the alternating temperature has fewer effects on cold stress reaction by tomato seedling growth.

The objectives of this study were to access climate change by global warming in Korea, and to investigate its effects on production efficiency of lactating dairy cows. Two regions, Daegu and Daekwanryung, were selected to represent a warm and a cold area, respectively. Time-series analyses on meteorological records for 25 years (from January 1, 1988 to December 31, 2012) revealed significant and different climate changes in two regions. In the warm area there has been a significant (P<0.05) increase in low temperature during the summer, which can cause heat stress to the animal. On the other hand, a decrease in low temperature during the winter was observed in the cold region (P<0.01), and cold stress in winter can thus be an issue in this region. Simulations using a model integrated the Korean feeding standard for dairy cattle and the environmental effect module of Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System, indicated that a reduction in feed efficiency can be a problem during the winter in the cold region while during the summer in the warm area. We conclude that the effect of climate change by global warming varies in different areas in Korea and a region-specific management strategy should be developed in order to maintain productivity, health and welfare of lactating dairy cows.

Acid phosphatase in the radish young plant showed optimal activity at pH 5.5. The activity of acid phosphatase was maintained longer during the ABA (0.5 mM) treatment than those in control, whereas that was similar to the treatment of NaCl (0.5 mM). But during the cold (4$^{\circ}C$) treatment, the activity of acid phosphatase was decreased dramatically compared to the control, which was maintained almost on a constant level and increased gradually during 6 days. It showed that acid phosphatase was in relation to the change of biochemical reaction, which plants were coped with cold, NaCl and ABA stress.

본 논문은 계속적인 소자의 이용은 전기적인 스트레스까지 야기시키는데, 특히 게이트에 인가되는 전압이나 전류 스트레스는 게이트 산화 막의 열화를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 유리기판위에 저온(${\leq}600^{\circ}C$)공정의 고상결정화을 통하여 다결정 박막 트랜지스터를 제작한 후, 이 소자에 게이트와 드레인에 전압 스트레스를 인가하여 출력 특상과 전달특성을 분석하였는데, 그 결과 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터의 전달특성은 게이트 와 드레인 전압에 의존하는데 임계전압은 긴 채널길이와 좁은 채널 폭에서 높고 출력특성은 갑자기 높은 드레인 전류가 흐른다. 전기적 스트레스가 인가된 소자는 드레인 전류를 감소시킨다. 결국 전계효과 이동도는 긴 채널길이와 좁은 폭의 채널에서 더 빠른 것을 알 수 있다.
