The main purpose of this study is to obtain spatial image information toward forest thinning process in Larix forest stands. Thirteen different alternatives were simulated to visualize on the basis of actual thinning work photos. The options were illustrated as photos produced by photoshop program. Each alternatives were evaluated by forest visitor group with total 244 respondents after reliability test. Spatial images of 13 thinning photos were measured by 12 semantic differential scale as broad -narrow, ordered-tangled, friendly-unfriendly, monotonous-divers, dry-refreshing, relieved -stifling, healthy-sickly, uniform-scattered, dead-alive, opened-closed, bent-straight, and beautiful-ugly. In comparison with thinning stands and natural stands, thinning works were visual improvement effects of spatial images. Seemingly, this trend is due to definite form beauty, straight and clear length form of coniferous forest, As can be expected, slash and downwood were negatively related to improvement effects of spatial images. The 60% ratio of stem/ tree height and 450-950 trees/ha was positive in attraction of spatial images. Results indicate how to conduct forest thinning system for spatial images on Larix forest stands.

Brassica napus is the third most important oilseed crop in the world; however, in Korea, it is greatly affected by cold stress, limiting seed growth and production. Plants have developed specific stress responses that are generally divided into three categories: cold-stress signaling, transcriptional/post-transcriptional regulation, and stress-response mechanisms. Large numbers of functional and regulatory proteins are involved in these processes when triggered by cold stress. Here, our objective was to investigate the different genetic factors involved in the cold-stress responses of B. napus. Consequently, we treated the Korean B. napus cultivar Naehan at the 4-week stage in cold chambers under different conditions, and RNA and cDNA were obtained. An in silico analysis included 80 cold-responsive genes downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. Expression levels were assessed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and 14 cold-triggered genes were identified under cold-stress conditions. The most significant genes encoded zinc-finger proteins (33.7%), followed by MYB transcription factors (7.5%). In the future, we will select genes appropriate for improving the cold tolerance of B. napus.

Diversity of 30 Korean potato cultivars was evaluated using 14 microsatellite markers. Twelve microsatellite markers representing 12 loci in the potato genome detected 84 polymorphisms among 30 cultivars and revealed alleles with a mean of 7.00 alleles per primer. The polymorphism information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.57 to 0.93 with average of 0.82. Based on polymorphism, cluster analysis was conducted by the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) methods. Thirty potato varieties were distinctly separated into 2 groups and similarity coefficient of cluster ranged from 0.58 to 0.95. Thirty tetraploid cultivars were evaluated for six important agronomic traits. One-way analysis of variance was done to look for the degree of relationships between individual markers and traits. K1 and K2 markers showed a significant association with amylose contents, starch contents, and specific gravity.

우리에게 농업은 단순히 식생활의 문제를 떠나 사회에 근간이 되는 분야이다. 하지만 급속히 정보화가 추진되고 있는 다른 분야에 비해 농업분야의 정보화는 그 발전 속도가 현저히 떨어지는 것은 살아있는 생물을 다루는 분야이기 때문이다. 하지만 정보화는 어쩔 수 없는 당면 과제이기에 정부 산하의 농업 관련 기관들은 개별적인 정보화 시스템을 구축 운용해오고 있다. 현재의 농업 정보화 시스템은 농업관측정보시스템과 농산물 유통 종합정보 시스템 그리고 농축산물 생산 및 수급정보 분석 시스템 등으로 볼 수 있지만 이러한 시스템은 초기의 기대와는 달리 비효율적으로 운영되어진 것이 현실이다. 여기에는 농업 관측 모형이 현실을 제대로 반영하지 못하는 문제점도 있지만 정부 산하의 각 기관들의 개별적인 개발로 인한 중복 투자와 시스템의 비효율적인 윤용 등의 문제점을 들 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 현재 개별적으로 운용되고 있는 농업 관측 정보 시스템, 농산물 유통 종합 정보 시스템 그리고 농축산물 생산 및 수급 정보 분석 시스템을 통폐합하고 유통관리 시스템과 기술지원 시스템의 구현과 종합 DB 시스템 구축과 이를 통합한 농업 종합 정보 시스템을 제안하며 농업 종합 정보 시스템의 활성화를 위한 각종 시책 등을 제시하고자 한다.

Objective: The Shanghai Holstein cattle breed is susceptible to severe mastitis and other diseases due to the hot weather and long-term humidity in Shanghai, which is the main distribution centre for providing Holstein semen to various farms throughout China. Our objective was to determine the genetic mechanisms influencing economically important traits, especially diseases that have huge impact on the yield and quality of milk as well as reproduction. Methods: In our study, we detected the structural variations of 1,092 Shanghai Holstein cows by using next-generation sequencing. We used the DELLY software to identify deletions and insertions, cn.MOPS to identify copy-number variants (CNVs). Furthermore, we annotated these structural variations using different bioinformatics tools, such as gene ontology, cattle quantitative trait locus (QTL) database and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). Results: The average number of high-quality reads was 3,046,279. After filtering, a total of 16,831 deletions, 12,735 insertions and 490 CNVs were identified. The annotation results showed that these mapped genes were significantly enriched for specific biological functions, such as disease and reproduction. In addition, the enrichment results based on the cattle QTL database showed that the number of variants related to milk and reproduction was higher than the number of variants related to other traits. IPA core analysis found that the structural variations were related to reproduction, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. According to the functional analysis, structural variations were important factors affecting the variation of different traits in Shanghai Holstein cattle. Our results provide meaningful information about structural variations, which may be useful in future assessments of the associations between variations and important phenotypes in Shanghai Holstein cattle. Conclusion: Structural variations identified in this study were extremely different from those of previous studies. Many structural variations were found to be associated with mastitis and reproductive system diseases; these results are in accordance with the characteristics of the environment that Shanghai Holstein cattle experience.

Japanese agriculture has faced to several threats: aging and decrease of farmer population, global competition, and the risk of climate change as well as harsh and variable weather. On the other hands, the number of large scale farms is increasing, because farm lands have been being aggregated to fewer numbers of farms. Cost cutting, development of efficient ways to manage complicatedly scattered farm lands, maintaining yield and quality under variable weather conditions, are required to adapt to changing environments. Information and communications technology (ICT) would contribute to solve such problems and to create innovative technologies. Thus we have been developing an early warning and decision support system to reduce weather and climate risks for rice, wheat and soybean production in Japan. The concept and prototype of the system will be shown. The system consists of a weather data system (Agro-Meteorological Grid Square Data System, AMGSDS), decision support contents where information is automatically created by crop models and delivers information to users via internet. AMGSDS combines JMA's Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS) data, numerical weather forecast data and normal values, for all of Japan with about 1km Grid Square throughout years. Our climate-smart system provides information on the prediction of crop phenology, created with weather forecast data and crop phenology models, as an important function. The system also makes recommendations for crop management, such as nitrogen-topdressing, suitable harvest time, water control, pesticide spray. We are also developing methods to perform risk analysis on weather-related damage to crop production. For example, we have developed an algorism to determine the best transplanting date in rice under a given environment, using the results of multi-year simulation, in order to answer the question "when is the best transplanting date to minimize yield loss, to avoid low temperature damage and to avoid high temperature damage?".
