Knowledge of the relationship between crop yield and yield-limiting factors is essential for precision farming. However, developing this knowledge is not easy because these yield-limiting factors are interrelated and affect crop yield in different ways. In this study, data for grain yield and yield-limiting factors, including crop chlorophyll content, soil chemical properties, and topography were collected for a small (0.3 ha) rice paddy field in Korea and a large (36 ha) upland corn field in the USA, and relationships were investigated with path analysis. Using this approach, the effects of limiting factors on crop yield could be separated into direct effects and indirect effects acting through other factors. Path analysis provided more insight into these complex relationships than did simple correlation or multiple linear regression analysis. Results of correlation analysis for the rice paddy field showed that EC, Ca, and $SiO_2$ had significant (P<0.1) correlations with rice yield, while pH, Ca, Mg, Na, $SiO_2,\;and\;P_2O_5$ had significant correlations with the SPAD chlorophyll reading. Path analysis provided additional information about the importance and contribution paths of soil variables to rice yield and growth. Ca had the highest direct effect (0.52) and indirect effect via Mg (-0.37) on rice yield. The indirect effect of Mg through Ca (0.51) was higher than the direct effect (-0.38). Path analysis also enabled more appropriate selection of important factors limiting crop yield by considering cause-and-effect relationships among predictor and response variables. For example, although pH showed a positive correlation (r=0.35) with SPAD readings, the correlation was mainly due to the indirect positive effects acting through Mg and $SiO_2$, while pH not only showed negative direct effects, but also negatively impacted indirect effects of other variables on SPAD readings. For the large upland Missouri corn field, two topographic factors, elevation and slope, had significant (P<0.1) direct effects on yield and highly significant (P<0.01) correlations with other limiting factors. Based on the correlation analysis alone, P and K were determined to be nutrients that would increase corn yield for this field. With the help of path analysis, however, increases in Mg could also be expected to increase corn yield in this case. In general, path analysis results were consistent with published optimum ranges of nutrients for rice and com production. We conclude that path analysis can be a useful tool to investigate interrelationships between crop yield and yield limiting factors on a site-specific basis.

Constructed wetlands are being used for the removal of nutrients from livestock wastewater. However, natural vegetation typically used in constructed wetlands does not have marketable value. As an alternative, agronomic plants grown under flooded or saturated soil conditions that promote denitrification can be used. Studies on constructed wetlands for swine wastewater were conducted in wetland cells that contained either natural wetland plants or a combination of soybeans and rice for two years with the objective of maximum nitrogen reduction to minimize the amount of land required for terminal treatment. Three systems, of two 3.6 by 33.5 m wetland cells connected in series were used; two systems each contained a different combination of emergent wetland vegetation: rush/bulrush (system 1) and bur-reed/cattail (system 2). The third system contained soybean (Glycine max) in saturated-soil-culture (SSC) in the first cell, and flooded rice (Oryza sativa) in the second cell. Nitrogen (N) loading rates of 3 and $10kg\;ha^{-1}\;day^{-1}$ were used in the first and second years, respectively. These loading rates were obtained by mixing swine lagoon liquid with fresh water before it was applied to the wetland. The nutrient removal efficiency was similar in the rush/bulrush, bur-reed/cattails and agronomic plant systems. Mean mass removal of N was 94 % at the loading rate of $3kg\;N\;ha^{-1}\;day^{-1}$ and decreased to 71% at the higher rate of $10kg\;N\;ha^{-1}\;day^{-1}$. The two years means for above-ground dry matter production for rush/bulrushes and bur-reed/cattails was l2 and $33Mg\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. Flooded rice yield was $4.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$ and soybean grown in saturation culture yielded $2.8Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Additionally, the performance of seven soybean cultivars using SSC in constructed wetlands with swine wastewater as the water source was evaluated for two years, The cultivar Young had the highest yield with 4.0 and $2.8Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in each year, This indicated that production of acceptable soybean yields in constructed wetlands seems feasible with SSC using swine lagoon liquid. Two microcosms studies were established to further investigate the management of constructed wetlands. In the first microcosm experiment, the effects of swine lagoon liquid on the growth of wetland plants at half (about 175 mg/l ammonia) and full strength (about 350 mg/l ammonia) was investigated. It was concluded that wetland plants can grow well in at least half strength lagoon liquid. In the second microcosm experiment, sequencing nitrification-wetland treatments was studied. When nitrified lagoon liquid was added in batch applications ($48kg\;N\;ha^{-1}\;day^{-1}$) to wetland microcosms the nitrogen removal rate was four to five times higher than when non-nitrified lagoon liquid was added. Wetland microcosms with plants were more effective than those with bare soil. These results suggest that vegetated wetlands with nitrification pretreatment are viable treatment systems for removal of large quantities of nitrogen from swine lagoon liquid.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to validate genes and genomic regions associated with carcass weight using a low-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Chip in Hanwoo cattle breed. Methods: Commercial Hanwoo steers (n = 220) were genotyped with 20K GeneSeek genomic profiler BeadChip. After applying the quality control of criteria of a call rate ${\geq}90%$ and minor allele frequency (MAF) ${\geq}0.01$, a total of 15,235 autosomal SNPs were left for genome-wide association (GWA) analysis. The GWA tests were performed using single-locus mixed linear model. Age at slaughter was fitted as fixed effect and sire included as a covariate. The level of genome-wide significance was set at $3.28{\times}10^{-6}$ (0.05/15,235), corresponding to Bonferroni correction for 15,235 multiple independent tests. Results: By employing EMMAX approach which is based on a mixed linear model and accounts for population stratification and relatedness, we identified 17 and 16 loci significantly (p<0.001) associated with carcass weight for the additive and dominant models, respectively. The second most significant (p = 0.000049) SNP (ARS-BFGL-NGS-28234) on bovine chromosome 4 (BTA4) at 21 Mb had an allele substitution effect of 43.45 kg. Some of the identified regions on BTA2, 6, 14, 22, and 24 were previously reported to be associated with quantitative trait loci for carcass weight in several beef cattle breeds. Conclusion: This is the first genome-wide association study using SNP chips on commercial Hanwoo steers, and some of the loci newly identified in this study may help to better DNA markers that determine increased beef production in commercial Hanwoo cattle. Further studies using a larger sample size will allow confirmation of the candidates identified in this study.

본 연구는 김치와 노화 억제에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 AIN-76 마우스 식이에 배추, 갓김치, 갓배추김치를 각동결건조 김치를 5%씩 첨가하여 만든 후 김치식이를 노화촉진쥐인 SAMP8에게 1년간 섭취시키면서 간의 노화관련 특성인 유리기 농도와 항산화효소계의 효소활성 변화를 살펴보았다. 노화촉진쥐 간의 총유리기, OH radical, $H_2O$$_2$그리고 TBARS 모두 가려에 따라 증가되었으며, 간에서 생성된 유리기 농도와 TBARS 농도는 대조군에 비해 김치섭취시 유의적으로 감소되었다(p<0.05). 그러나 생성된 유리기를 제거하기 위한 SOD 활성은 오히려 김치섭취군에서 유의적으로 증가되었으며(P<0.05), catalase와 GSH-px, GSH/GSSG의 비율도 김치섭취군에서 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 따라서 김치섭취는 노화에 따라 발생되는 간의 유리기 및 TB-ARS 생성은 억제시키면서, 이를 제거하는 항산화계 효소는 활성화시켜 노화를 억제한 것으로 생각된다. 김치종류 중에서는 배추김치보다 배추갓김치와 갓김치가 유리기 생성 억제 및 항상화 효소 활성을 더욱 증진시킨 것으로 관찰되어 이는 첨가된 갓의 항산화물질 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

Centipedegrass는 미국 동남부지역에서 잔디용으로 많이 이용하고 있는데 토양을 가리지 않고 잘 자라며 잎이 연녹색이어서 잔디로서 선호도가 높다. 그러나 이 식물의 유전자원이 지니고 있는 유전변이 폭이 매우 한정되어 있어 활용 가능한 유전변이의 폭을 확대하기 위해 Centipedegrass의 종자에 감마선 10Kr을 조사한 뒤 계통을 조성하고 이를 다시 감마선 10Kr을 조사하여 계통을 조성하는형태로 순환 조사하여 순환 처리회수를 각각 0회, 4회, 5회, 6회, 8회 하여 얻은 계통집단 TC 201, TC 202, TC 241, TC 306, TC 318에 대하여 이들 계통집단이 지니고 있는 식물 형태적 특성의 평균과 변이의 범위 폭을 측정하여 비교한 결과 이미 품종으로 고정되어 있는 TC318을 제외하고 감마선을 종자에 순환처리한 계통집단에서 총지하경수, 총지하경길이, 최장지하경장, 엽장 및 엽폭의 변이폭이 감마선 조사로 확대되었음을 확인하였다. 이러한 변이의 범위 확대 정도는 지하경과 같은 생식기관에서 뚜렷하였는데 방사선 순환조사 정도와 관련하여 일정한 방향성은 인정되지 않았다.

TLRs는 병원균이 숙주의 몸 속에 들어 왔을 때, 병원균들이 가지고 있는 독특한 구조를 인식하여 선천성 면역반응과 뒤이어 후천성 면역반응을 유도하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 우리는 이번 실험을 통하여 curcumin이 선행연구에서 밝혀낸 TLR4 뿐만 아니라 TLR2와 TLR6 그리고 TLR3를 또한 분자학적인 타깃으로 할 수 있다는 것을 알아내었다. Curcumin이 MALP-2(TLR2,6 agonist)에 의해서 유도된 IRAK-1 degradation을 억제시켰다. 이러한 결과는 curcumin의 분자학적인 타깃이 IRAK-1위에 놓여 있으며, TLR2와 TLR6가 될 것이라는 가능성을 제시해 준다고 할 수 있다. 또한 curcumin은 viral 자극제인 poly[I:C](TLR3 agonist)에 의해서 유도된 IRF3나 $NF-{\kappa}B$ 활성화를 억제하였지만, TRIF에 의해서 유도된 IRF3 활성화는 억제시키지를 못하였다. 이러한 결과 또한 TLR3 자체가 curcumin의 분자학적인 타깃이라는 가능성을 제시해 준다고 할 수 있겠다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼때, curcumin의 분자학적인 타깃이 $IKK{\beta}$ 이외에 모든 TLRs가 될 수 있다는 가능성을 제시해 준다고 할 수 있겠다. 이러한 결과는 curcumin이 그람음성균 뿐만이 아니라 바이러스나 박테리아 등 여러 병원균들로부터 유도되는 염증반응이나 만성적인 질병들을 조절할 수 있다는 것을 보여주는 결과라 할 수 있겠다.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary $\omega$-fatty acids on fatty acids composition and storage characteristics in meat samples of spent hens. Spent hens were randomly assigned to one of the four dietary treatments : 1) Control (commercial feed), 2) T1 (commercial feed supplemented with 10% olive oil, 3) T2 (commercial feed with 10% canola oil), and 4) T3 (commercial feed with 10% sardine oil). They were fed one of the experimental diets for three weeks and slaughtered. The meat samples were stored at 4 ${\pm}$ 1 ˚C The storage characteristics and fatty acid contents were analyzed for meat samples stored over a period of 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 days. The pH of all treatments significantly increased during the storage periods(P<0.05). The per-oxide values (POV) of all treatments were significantly increased up to 5 days ; after that the POV decreased significantly (P<0.05). The POV of treated groups were significantly higher than those of the Control in the thigh meat(P<0.05). The TBARS showed the highest POV among all treatments. Although the breast meat tended to he lower in POV than the thigh meat, no significant difference was detected between the two meats. The TBARS(thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) of all treatments were significantly increased as the storage period extended(P<0.05). After 3 days, the TB ARS of oil-treated groups were aignificantly higher than that of the Control (P<0.05). The T3 showed the highest TBARS among all treatments (P<0.05). The TBARS of the breast meat was lower than that of the thigh, but no statistical difference was found be- tween them. The unsaturated fatty acid content of the breast and thigh meats in all treatments were slightly decreased as the storage period extended. The oleic acid was higher in Ti, and the linoleic acid and linolenic acid were higher in T2 than the other treatments. The eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid were higher in T3 than the other treatments. The unsaturated fatty acid contents of the breast meat were slightly lower than those of the thigh meat. The n-6 fatty acid contents of the breast and thigh meats were slightly increased as the storage periods ex-tended. The n-3 fatty acid content of T3 was the highest among all treatments. The n-6 fatty acid content of breast meat was lower than that of thigh meat. The n-6 fatty acid content of the breast meat was slightly lower than that of the thigh meat.
