  • Pears (Pyrus spp.) have been grown worldwide as a kind of important economical fruits. Over 1,500 accessions collected from countries have been preserved in National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration in Korea. However, redundancies and misidentification are happening in the germplasm preservation due to same cultivars which have different names in various localities (synonyms) and different cultivars which have same names (homonyms). That can lower germplasm management efficiency. The object of this study is to identify synonyms and homonyms in pear germplasms by analyzing genetic variation with four microsatellite markers: CH03d12, CH03g07, CH02b10, and EMPc117. PCR amplification with above 4 microsatellite markers was done for the 31 pear accessions, and the products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. As a result, 7 synonyms and 9 homonyms were identified among 31 pear accessions. We'll compare these genotypes with phenotypes of each pear accessions, and reduces the redundancy and misidentification in pear germplasm collection for the reliable management.

  • Background and Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM)-associated heart failure (HF) causes high morbidity and mortality. In this study, we established a zebrafish larvae model for in vivo research on diabetic HF. Methods: DM-like phenotypes were induced by treating zebrafish larvae with a combination of D-glucose (GLU) and streptozotocin (STZ). HF was induced by treatment with terfenadine (TER), a potassium channel blocker. Additionally, myocardial contractility, motility, and viability were evaluated. Results: The zebrafish larvae treated with a combination of GLU and STZ showed significantly higher whole-body glucose concentrations, lower insulin levels, and higher phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase levels, which are markers of abnormal glucose homeostasis, than the group treated with only GLU, with no effect on viability. When treated with TER, DM zebrafish showed significantly less myocardial fractional shortening and more irregular contractions than the non-DM zebrafish. Furthermore, in DM-HF with reduced ejection fraction (rEF) zebrafish, a significant increase in the levels of natriuretic peptide B, a HF biomarker, markedly reduced motility, and reduced survival rates were observed. Conclusions: We established a DM-HFrEF zebrafish model by sequentially treating zebrafish larvae with GLU, STZ, and TER. Our findings indicate the potential utility of the developed zebrafish larvae model not only in screening studies of new drug candidates for DM-HFrEF but also in mechanistic studies to understand the pathophysiology of DM-HFrEF.

  • 새송이버섯 재배에서 환기방법이 실내의 이산화탄소 농도 및 자실체형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 평압형, 양압형, 음압형, 복합형의 4종의 환기방법을 사용하여 환기효율, 재배효율 및 생리장해발생정도를 포장에서 조사하였다. 그 결과 복합형의 경우, 실내 이산화탄소 농도가 평압형의 경우 1,400 ppm인 것에 비해 800 ppm으로서 현저하게 낮았고, 기류발생정도도 상대적으로 적어 환기효율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 대의 길이, 갓의 직경, 품질, 수량 등의 재배효율이 복합형에서 가장 높았으며, 수확소요일수가 단축 되었다. 생리장해의 발생에 있어서는, 세균점액증상, 비늘대증상 및 굴곡대증상의 경우에서는 환기방법에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 오뚝이증상, 진무름증상 및 갈반증상은 이산화탄소 농도가 다른 환기방법에 비해 낮았던 복합형과 음압형에서 현저하게 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 전체적으로 볼 때, 평압형 환기방법은 환기효율이 낮아 실내 이산화탄소농도를 유효하게 밖으로 배출해 내지 못함으로서 품질과 수량을 현저하게 떨어뜨리고, 생리장해의 발생을 유도하는 결과를 초래하였으며, 양압형 또한 평압형에 비해 효율성이 다소 높은 경향을 보였으나, 이들 2종은 새송이 버섯의 연중재배에 이용되는 환기방법으로 부적절한 것으로 나타났다. 음압형의 경우 상대적으로 효율성이 높은 환기방법으로서 어느 정도 도입의 가능성을 시사하고 있으나, 복합형이 환기효율, 재배효율 및 생리장해억제효과가 가장 우수한 것으로 조사되어, 새송이버섯 재배에서 복합형 환기방법을 도입할 경우, 품질향상과 생산성향상은 물론 연중 안전재배를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 도움이 되리라 생각된다.리고 실험에 사용된 송신부 및 수신부를 사진으로 보였으며, 이것을 이용하여 통신 수신율을 분석하였다. 주파수에서 측정된 Type 1 안테나의 전기적 성능은 원형 도체 배열을 10개 적층(disk10)하였을 때, 15.65 dBi의 최대 안테나 이득과 11.4 dB 이상의 입력 반사 손실 성능을 보여 주었으며, 다층 원형 도체 배열 구조에 의해 약 5 dB의 이득 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 원형 도체를 12개 적층하였을 때, 외곽 유전체 링 효과에 의해 Type 1 안테나는 Type 2 안테나보다 상대적으로 약 1.35 dB 만큼 이득이 더 높았으며, 각 안테나의 3 dB 빔 폭은 각각 약 $28^{\circ}$$36^{\circ}$로 측정되었다.. 그러나 기흉 발생 당일은 기흉이 발생하지 않은 날 당일보다 전일 대비 평균 기온이 높고(0.533 vs. $-0.103^{\circ}C$, RR 1.141, Cl $1.038{\sim}l.255$, p=0.006), 기온상승폭도 컸다(9.209 vs. $7.754^{\circ}C$, RR 1.123, Cl $1.061{\sim}1.190$, p=0.000). 결론: 본 연구의 결과를 통해 저자들은 기압이 상승한 뒤 기온이 상승했다. 하강하는 약 4일간의 기상변화가 자발성 기흉 발생에 영향을 미친다고 추론할 수 있었다. 향후 본 연구에서 추론된 기상변화와 기흉 발생과의 인과관계를 확인하고 좀 더 구체화하기 위한 연구가 필요할 것이다.게 이루어질 수

  • Sterols play two major roles in plants: a bulk component in biological membranes and precursors of plant steroid hormones. Physiological effects of plant steroids, brassinosteroids (BRs), include cell elongation, cell division, stress tolerance, and senescence acceleration. Arabidopsis mutants that carry genetic defects in BR biosynthesis or its signaling display characteristic phenotypes, such as short robust inflorescences, dark-green round leaves, and sterility. Currently there are more than 100 dwarf mutants representing 7 genetic loci in Arabidopsis. Mutants of 6 loci, dwf1/dim1/cbb1, cpd/dwf3, dwf4, dwf5, det2/dwf6, dwf7 are rescued by exogenous application of BRs, whereas bri1/dwf2 shares phenotypes with the above 6 loci but are resistant to BRs. These suggest that the 6 loci are defective in BR biosynthesis, and the one locus is in BR signaling. Biochemical analyses, such as intermediate feeding tests, examining the levels of endogenous BR, and molecular cloning of the genes revealed that dwf7, dwf5, and dwf1 are defective in the three consecutive steps of sterol biosynthesis, from episterol to campesterol via 5-dehydroepisterol. Similarly, det2/dwf6, dwf4, and cpd/dwf3 were shown to be blocked in $D^4$ reduction, 22a-hydroxylation, and 23 a-hydroxylation, respectively. A signaling mutant bri1/dwf2 carries mutations in a Leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase. Interestingly, the bri1 mutant was shown to accumulate significant amount of BRs, suggesting that signaling and biosynthesis are dynamically coupled in Arabidopsis. Thus It is likely that transgenic plants over-expressing the rate-limiting step enzyme DWF4 as well as blocking its use by BRI1 could dramatically increase the biosynthetic yield of BRs. When applied industrially, BRs will boost new sector of plant biotechnology because of its potential use as a precursor of human steroid hormones, a novel lead compound for cholesterol-lowering effects, and a various application in plant protection.

  • A whole genome association (WGA) study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for body conformation traits in Hanwoo cattle. The phenotypes of 497 steers were recorded from the Hanwoo Improvement Center of National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, Seosan, Korea, and analyzed using the Illumina Bovine 50 k SNP chip. A set of 35,987 SNPs that were available in the Hanwoo population was selected from the chip. After adjustments for the effects of year-season of birth, region and sire, phenotypes were regressed on each SNP using a linear regression model. Three hundred nineteen SNPs were detected for the ten conformation traits (p<0.003). For the significant SNPs, stepwise regression procedures were applied to determine best sets of markers. A total of 72 SNPs were selected (p<0.001), for which the sets of 5, 9, 10, 9, 8, 11, 4, 6, 3 and 7 SNPs were determined for height at withers, rump height, body length, chest depth, chest width, rump length, hip width, thurl width, pinbone width and heart girth, respectively. About 7-26% of the total phenotypic variation was explained by the set of SNPs for each trait. QTL for the conformation traits were harbored on most bovine chromosomes (BTAs). Four SNPs with pleiotropic effects on height at withers and rump height were detected on BTAs 3, 4, 6 and 16. A SNP with pleiotropic effects on chest width and rump length was also detected on BTA10. Two QTL regions, i.e. between 87 and 97 Mb in BTA3 and between 41 and 44 Mb in BTA7, were found, in which SNPs were detected for the five and three conformation traits, respectively. The detected SNPs need to be validated in other Hanwoo populations for commercial application to the genetic improvement of conformation characteristics in Hanwoo via marker-assisted selection (MAS).

  • Roots play important roles in water and nutrient uptake and in response to various environmental stresses. Investigating diversification of cultivars through root phenotyping is important for crop improvement in adzuki beans. Therefore, we analyzed the morphological and architectural root traits of 22 adzuki bean cultivars using 2-dimensional (2D) root imaging. Plants were grown in plastic tubes [6 cm (diameter) × 40 cm (height)] in a greenhouse from July 25th to August 28th. When the plants reached the 2nd or 3rd trifoliate leaf stage, the roots were removed and washed with tap water to remove soil particles. Clean root samples were scanned, and the scanned images were analyzed using the WinRHIZO Pro software. The cultivars were analyzed based on six root phenotypes [total root length (TRL), surface area (SA), average diameter (AD), and number of tips (NT) were included as root morphological traits (RMT); and link average length (LAL) and link average diameter (LAD) were included as root architectural traits (RAT)]. According to the analysis of variance (ANOVA), a significant difference was observed between the cultivars for all root morphological traits. Distribution analysis demonstrated that all root traits except LAL followed a normally distributed curve. In the correlation test, the most important morphological trait, TRL, showed a strong positive correlation with SA (r = 0.97***) and NT (r = 0.94***). In comparison, between RMT and RAT, TRL showed a significantly negative correlation with LAL (r = -0.50***); however, TRL did not show a correlation with LAD. Based on RMT and RAT, we identified the cultivars that ranked 5% from the top and bottom. In particular, the cultivar "IT 236657" showed the highest TRL, SA, and NT, while the cultivar "IT 236169" showed the lowest values for TRL, SA, and NT. In addition, the coefficient of variance for the six tested root traits ranged from (14.26-40%) which suggested statistical variability in root phenotypes among the 22 adzuki bean varieties. Thus, this study will help to select target root traits for the adzuki bean breeding program in the future, generating climate-resilient adzuki beans, especially for drought stress, and may be useful for developing biotic and abiotic stress-tolerant cultivars based on better root trait attributes.

  • Mutations within the SCN5A gene, which encodes the α-subunit 5 (NaV1.5) of the voltage-gated Na+ channel, have been linked to three distinct cardiac arrhythmia disorders: long QT syndrome type 3, Brugada syndrome (BrS), and cardiac conduction disorder. In this study, we have identified novel missense mutations (p.A385T/R504T) within SCN5A in a patient exhibiting overlap arrhythmia phenotypes. This study aims to elucidate the functional consequences of SCN5A mutants (p.A385T/R504T) to understand the clinical phenotypes. Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to analyze the NaV1.5 current (INa) in HEK293 cells transfected with the wild-type and mutant SCN5A with or without SCN1B co-expression. The amplitude of INa was not altered in mutant SCN5A (p.A385T/R504T) alone. Furthermore, a rightward shift of the voltage-dependent inactivation and faster recovery from inactivation was observed, suggesting a gain-of-function state. Intriguingly, the co-expression of SCN1B with p.A385T/R504T revealed significant reduction of INa and slower recovery from inactivation, consistent with the loss-of-function in Na+ channels. The SCN1B dependent reduction of INa was also observed in a single mutation p.R504T, but p.A385T co-expressed with SCN1B showed no reduction. In contrast, the slower recovery from inactivation with SCN1B was observed in A385T while not in R504T. The expression of SCN1B is indispensable for the electrophysiological phenotype of BrS with the novel double mutations; p.A385T and p.R504T contributed to the slower recovery from inactivation and reduced current density of NaV1.5, respectively.

  • 패랭이꽃속의 분포와 개발을 위한 기초자료로 강원도에서 자생 2종과 수집가능한 7 외래종에 대한 기내배양체의 특성을 조사하였다. 캘러스의 유도를 위해 조직부위별 다양한 절편체들을 2,4-D. NAA, BA가 농도별로 처리된 MS 배지에 치상한 후, 27$^{\circ}C$ 광조건과 2.0mg/L 2,4-D와 0.5 mg/L BA의 조합배지에서 배양했을 때 3주 후 절단면에서 callus가 형성되기 시작하였으며, 패랭이꽃 (Dianthus chinensis)의 잎절편체에서 가장 양호하였다. Organogenic 캘러스의 선발은 기내에서 증식된 adventitious shoot의 절편체 유래 캘러스로부터 가능했으며 이들 캘러스를 1.0 mg/L BA와 0.1 mg/L NAA가 조합된 배지에 치상하였을 때 약 30% 정도의 shoot 형성률을 보였고 multiple shoot의 분화를 관찰할 수 있었다. In vitro에서 증식된 adventitious shoot 절편체를 1.0 mg/L BA와 0.1 mg/L NAA가 포함된 N6 배지에 치상했을 때, 캘러스 단계를 거치지 않고 직접 shoot이 형성되었고 D. gratianopol 유래 adventitious shoot 절편체는 52%의 높은 shoot 형성률을 보였다. 이들 multiple shoot로부터 재분화된 소식물체는 0.1 mg/L NAA가 포함된 MS 배지에서 뿌리가 유도되고 vermiculite가 담긴 pot에 이식 후 85% 습도하에서 활착되어 정상적인 개화된 개체를 획득할 수 있었다. 0.03 M EMS 처리된 패랭이꽃의 adventitious, shoot 절편체 유래 캘러스로부터 힌꽃의 패랭이꽃의 도연변체식물 (M23)이 분화되었으며 종자 형성이 가능하였다.
