  • Appropriate water level is the primary factor for the optimal yield of crop plants. The required water level varies according to the variety of the crops. In the present study, we investigated the optimum requirement of groundwater level(GWL) to grow sorghum and adzuki bean under paddy field soil. Here, we cultivated sorghum and adzuki bean using lysimeter filled with paddy soil under GWL 0 cm(NT) and GWL(20, 40 cm) where GWL 20 cm is maintained as a waterlogging condition. The plant growth promoting attributes were measured on the first day after treatment(0 DAT), 10 DAT and 20 DAT. The results showed that the growth parameter such as shoot length, leaf length, leaf width, and stem thickness of both sorghum and adzuki bean were constantly increased and were found higher at GWL 40 cm(except stem thickness and leaf width in sorghum at 20 DAT). The physiological parameters such as chlorophyll content and stomatal conductance were also found higher at GWL 40 cm in all DAT. In addition, the elements like P and K contents in adzuki bean, and Ca content in sorghum were constantly increased and was found higher in GWL 40 cm at all DAT. These results suggest that the GWL of 40 cm is appropriate for production of sorghum and adzuki bean especially in case of paddy soil.

  • Objective : Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) affects $5-10\%$ of children in Korea, with more boys and girls being diagnosed. Despite seriousness of ADHD, little is known about its causes. From the current genetic epidemiologic studies, ADHD is known as a heritable disorder. Till now, however, there have been very few genetic studies about ADHD in Korea. The aim of the this study is to examine the association between dopamine transporter gone type 1 and ADHD using case-control design in Korean ADHD probands and normal controls. Materials and Method : Child Psychiatric Genetic research team in Seoul National University Hospital, Clinical Research Institute recruited the ADHD probands using clinical interview/observation, diverse rating scales, and neuropsychological tests. For eliminating phenocopy or ADHD, diagnosis of ADHD was based upon clinical data, psychometric data, and parent/teacher reports. Total 85 ADHD-probands were recruited as final study subjects and independent 100 normal adults participated in this study as control group. For all the ADHD probands, and controls, the 3'-UTR-VNTR polymorphism of DAT1 was analyzed. Based on the DAT1 allele and genotype informations, Chi-square test based on case-control design was performed. Results : As for genetic study, total of 85 probands and 100 controls were included for the genetic analysis. Four different alleles, 350bp (7repeat), 440bp (9repeat), 480bp (10repeat) and 520bp (11repeat) were found in DAT1 gene of study subjects. In case-control analysis, ADHD probands and parents have significantly more 9 repeat allele and 9/10 genotype. Also, The probands with 9repeat allele have more commission errors in ADS. Conclusion : The positive association between ADHD and DAT1 gene was replicated in this report like other previous results for caucasian children and Korean children with ADHD. There are ongoing studies on other candidate genes such as DRD4 and DRD5 and it would be required to explore the association of these candidate genes in Korean children with ADHD. These ongoing genetic research will contribute to the understanding of heterogenous genetic and environmental etiologies of ADHD phenotype, which will lead to the development of more comprehensive treatment and preventive interventions for ADHD.

  • The experiment was conducted to evaluate weeding effect and to inhibit tuberization of Eleocharis kuroguwai authority by single or systematic applications of several herbicides. E. kuroguwai was controlled above 90 percentage by pretilachlor and butachlor+bensulfuron application at 5-10 DAT(Days after transplanting) followed by bentazon at 50 DAT and weeded 88 percentage by mefenacet+bensulfuron application at 15 DAT. Tuberization inhibition rate of E. kuroguwai was higher at the application of butachlor+bensulfuron at 5 DAT followed by bentazon at 50 DAT than any other applications. The weight variation of E. kuroguwai tubers formed at 15-20cm soil stratum was larger than that at 10-15cm. Tuber of E. kuroguwai was hardly formed at top soil stratum (0-5cm) and deep soil (15-20cm) by the systematic application of bentazon at 50 DAT. Grain yield of rice from systematic application with bentazon at 50 DAT and mefenacet+bensulfuron at 10-15 DAT was similar to that of hand weeded plot.

  • Objectives:This study evaluated the association between behavioral characteristics and polymorphisms in DAT1, DRD2, DRD3, and DRD4 genes. Methods:The subjects were 114 neonates, who were born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery and had no physical problems. The behavioral characteristics were evaluated using Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale(NBAS) at $17.8{\pm}7.0$ hours after their birth to minimize environmental influences, and cord blood was used to analyze the gene polymorphisms. Results:In comparison to DAT1 gene 10/10 genotype group(N=93), other genotype group(N=19) showed significantly high NBAS scores on social-interaction, state organization, and state regulation. DRD2 gene Ser311/Cys311, TaqI A, and TaqI B polymorphisms showed no significant differences on NBAS scores when they were grouped by genotypes. DRD3 gene polymorphism and DRD4 gene promotor polymorphism showed no significant difference on NBAS scores when they were grouped by genotypes. In comparison to the short repeats(N=102), long repeats(N=10) in DRD4 gene showed significantly high habituation score of NBAS. Conclusion:These results suggest that the genetic effects of the neonatal behavioral characteristics may be mediated via DAT1 and DRD4 genes.

  • Gypsum treated to fine sandy loam increased the fornation of >2 mm aggregates in $1,550kg\;CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O\;10a^{-1}$ (Kbfg1) and $3,100kg\;CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O\;10a^{-1}$ (Kbfg2) to compare with control, Kc, at 60DAT, and bigger aggregates in general at 90DAT. The higher treatment of gypsum level, the <0.1 mm aggregates were less decreased as in Kbfg1, Kbfg2, and $6,200kg\;CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O\;10a^{-1}$ (Kbfg3) and aggregates of 0.25->2 mm were increased with increasing level of gypsum with more effective in Kbfg2 and Kbfg3 at 120DAT. Gypsum treated to silt loam increased aggregates of 2.0-1.0 and 1.0-0.5 mm in $3,100kg\;CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O\;10a^{-1}$ (Mbfg2) to compare with control (Mc), at 60DAT. Degrees of aggregation from 0.5-0.25 mm to >2 mm aggregates at 90DAT were distinctly higher. The higher treatment of gypsum level accelerated more aggregation of silt loam soil, and aggregates of 0.5-0.25 mm was most increased in Mbfg2 at 120DAT. Popped rice hulls treated to fine sandy loam increased aggregates of 2.0-1.0 mm in plots of $1,000kg\;10a^{-1}$ (Kbfhl) only to compare with control (Kc), at 60DAT, and aggregates of >2 mm and 2.0-1.0 mm Kbfh1 at 90DAT. At 120DAT, aggregation by popped rice hulls was most effective in Kbfbl pot. Popped rice hulls treated to silt loam increased in aggregates of >2 mm and 2.0-1.0 mm in $2000kg\;10a^{-1}$, Mbfb2 to compare with control, Mc, at 60DAT. Degrees of aggregation by popped rice hulls at 90DAT were higher in $1,000kg\;10a^{-1}$, Mbfh1, and Mbfh2, and at 120DAT was in $3,000kg\;10a^{-1}$, Mbfb3. Zeolite treatment with popped rice hulls, $1,500kg\;10a^{-1}$, increased in >2.0 mm aggregates in $1,000kg\;10a^{-1}$, Kbfbz1, $2,000kg\;10a^{-1}$, Kbfbz2, $3,000kg\;10a^{-1}$, Kbfhz3, and Mbfbz1, $1,000kg\;10a^{-1}$, Mbfbz2, $2,000kg\;10a^{-1}$, and $3,000kg\;10a^{-1}$, Mbthz3, to compare with control (Kc and Mc), at 60DAT. irrespective of soil texture. At 90DAT, >2.0-0.5 mm aggregates increased in Kbfhz1 of fine sandy loam. aggregates of >0.25 mm in $200kg\;10a^{-1}$ (Mbfbz1), $400kg\;10a^{-1}$ (Mbfhz2), $800kg\;10a^{-1}$ (Mbfhz3) of silt loam increased with the level of zeolite treatment. At 120DAT, the effect of zeolite treated to both soils showed the decrease of <0.1 mm aggregates. As the result, soil amendments for soil aggregation was more effective in the order of popped rice hulls+Zeolite > gypsum > popped rice hulls in fine sandy loam, and in the order of gypsum > popped rice huUs+zeolite > popped rice hulls in silt loam, respectively.

  • We investigated influence of continious application of gypsum (G: $CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$), popped rice hulls (H) and zeolite (Z) on soil aggregation of reclaimed sandy loam soils. The application rates amended to fine sandy loam from reclaimed soils at Kyehwado were varied as follows:1550 (G1), 3100 (G2), 6200 (G3), 1000 (H1), 2000 (H2), 3000 (H3), and 200 (HZ1), 400 (HZ2) and 800 (HZ3) added to 1500(H) kg $10a^{-1}$, respectively. Soil aggregates were analyzed for 60, 90 and 120 days after treatments (DAT). At 60 DAT, The amount of aggregate from soil samples treated with gypsum was slightly increased with G1 while the aggregation was decreased by 4.66% for G3 for soil aggregates than thar of control. The treatments of H or HZ were effective in soil aggregation. The effect of treatment was in the order of H > HZ > G. At 90 DAT, increasing amount of gypsum attributed to decrease in soil aggregates. Therefore, we could conclude that suitable amounts of gypsum for soil aggregation in fine sandy loam might be 1550 kg $10a^{-1}$ or less. H1 increased aggregation by 7% for aggregate size between 1.0 and 2.0 mm. HZ1 was most effective in aggregation by 52.78% among the treatments while H2 and HZ3 51.50% and 48.51% at 120 DAT, respectively. As a result, we found that the effect of the treatment for soil amendments was in order of H > HZ > G.

  • The soil residual amount of herbicides nitralin and napropamide was determined in 6 winter crops field using a chemical assay method. Chemical analysis on soil residue revealed that a relatively high amount of nitralin was detected between 150 and 200 days after treament(DAT). However, regardless of soil types the residue at 220 DAT ranged from 0.053 to 0.141ppm and from 0.134 to 0.308ppm, at the rate of 75 and 150 g a.i./10a, respectively. The residue of napropamide applied at the rate of 75 g a.i./l0a ranged from 0.006 to 0.072ppm at 150 DAT, but not detectable at 220 DAT. When application rate increased to 150 g a.i./10a, napropamide residue was between 0.005 and 0.16ppm at 150 DAT and less than 0.004ppm at 200 DAT, and was not detected at 220 DAT, irrespective of soil types. The results of chemical analysis for the two herbicides showed a similar trend to those obtained from the experiments in agar medium and fields.
