  • 유채는 월동작물로 내한성이 약해 남부지역에서만 재배가 가능하다. 따라서 재배면적 확대 및 안정적 생산성 확보를 위해 내한성 증진 품종 육성이 절실하다. 본 연구에서는 유채의 내한성을 증진시키기 위해 보리에서 유래한 HvIRIP 유전자를 CaMV35S 프로모터 조절하에서 전신발현되도록 운반체를 제작하였고, 아그로박테리움을 이용하여 유채에 형질전환하였다. Southern 분석을 통해 HvIRIP 유전자가 유채 Genome 안으로 전이 되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 Northern 분석을 통해 $4^{\circ}C$에서 2주간 처리된 유묘에서 HvIRIP 유전자의 발현이 크게 증대되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본엽 3-4매 전개 유채 형질전환체를 영하 $5^{\circ}C$에서 2일간 저온에 노출한 후 회복여부를 조사한 결과, 대조구는 회복하지 못하고 죽은 반면, 형질전환체는 회복이 정상적으로 이루어졌다. 또한 저온스트레스가 진행되는 동안에 스트레스를 극복하는데 필요한 Proline 함량이 형질전환체에서 크게 증대되는 것이 관찰되었다. 이 외에도 저온스트레스 과정 중에 생성되는 활성산소의 독성을 감소시키는 항산화제 효소인 CAT, SOD 그리고 ADH 활성을 측정한 결과, 대조구에 비해 형질전환체에서 그 함량이 현저히 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 통해 HvIRIP 유전자가 함유된 유채 형질전환체의 내한성이 증진되었음을 확인하였다.

  • One exotherm was detected in the intact ginseng seeds containing more than 35% water, but in seeds with 20% there was no exotherm. The shapes of exotherm were remarkably uniform without relation to water content above 35%. The temperature at the initiation of freezing varied from -3.5$^{\circ}C$ to -9.6$^{\circ}C$ with the different water content in the seeds, and the Initial temperature of freezing delayed with the decrease of water content. The resistance damage at low temperature appeared in order of maln body, rhizome, lateral root of 3-year-old yearling rhizome, and fine root of 3-year-old. Ginseng roots didn't receive any damage at -5$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Otherwise they received serious damage below -1$0^{\circ}C$ even for 5 hours'exposure. Hence, alternative low temperature gave more severe damage compared to constant low temperature. This result suggests that the Possibility of receiving injury at low temperature was higher during the thawing season of the early spring than in the winter.

  • Trifloxystrobin is a strobilurin fungicide, which possesses broad spectrum control against fungal plant diseases. We demonstrated that pre-treating red pepper plants with trifloxystrobin resulted in increased plant growth and leaf chlorophyll content compared with those in control plants. Relative water content of the leaves and the survival rate of intact plants indicated that plants acquired systemic tolerance to drought stress following trifloxystrobin pre-treatment. The recovery rate by rehydration in the drought treated plant was better in those pre-treated with trifloxystrobin than that in water treated plants. Induced drought tolerance activity by trifloxystrobin was sustained for 25 days after initial application. The trifloxystrobin treated red pepper plants also had induced systemic tolerance to other abiotic stresses, such as frost, cold, and high temperature stresses. These findings suggest that applying the chemical fungicide trifloxystrobin induced systemic tolerance to certain abiotic stresses in red pepper plants.

  • 복숭아 나무 '장호원황도' 품종의 결과지에 대한 월동기간 중 생리적 내한성을 가리키는 지표로서 일별 기온에 의해 계산되는 휴면심도를 설정하였다. 휴면심도 추정모형의 최적모수(기준온도, 저온요구도)를 도출하기 위해 2008-2009 겨울 동안 총 12회에 걸친 실험을 수행한 결과, 내생휴면해제에 필요한 '장호원황도'의 기준온도 $5.7^{\circ}C$와 저온요구도 -108을 얻었다. 1992-2008년 기간 중 수원기상대 일 최고 및 최저기온자료를 이용하여 이 모형에 의해 '장호원황도'의 만개기를 예측하고 기존의 DVS모형과 회귀모형에 의한 예상 만개기와 비교한 결과 이 모형의 예측능력이 우수하였다. 이 모형에 의해 추정된 휴면심도를 선행연구에서 얻은 동해유발온도와 결합하여 동해위험확률을 계산할 수 있는 경험식을 도출하였다. 날짜와 최저기온이 주어지면 이 식에 의해 '장호원황도'의 갈변이나 발아장해 등 동해증상이 나타날 수 있는 확률, 즉 동해위험 지수를 미리 알 수 있으므로 복숭아 재배농가의 동해 경감에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • The boar sperm has more lipid droplets and specialty of seminal plasma compared with other species, causing difficulties of freezing sperm and decreases for the utilization of frozen semen into the artificial insemination. However, several studies reported significant results for the recovery of sperm motility and reproductive by addition of cryoprotectants and seminal plasma after thawing. This study was designed to investigate the effects of supplementation of trehalose or glycerol in the LEY (lactose and egg yolk in BTS) solution for the conventional freezing and vitrification process. Two boars aged 16 months were used to collect semen for 2 times in a week. The samples were allotted to 3 freezing solutions (LEY + glycerol 10.5% + OEP 1.5%, LEY + trehalose 1M + OEP 1.5%, and sucrose 1.5M + trehalose 1 M + OEP 1.5%) after centrifugation at 800 g for 10 minutes. Semen was equilibrated in freezing solutions for 10 minutes and injected into plastic straws with 2~3 air bubbles to minimize freezing damages. Vitrification was performed to locate sperm in 5 cm above $LN_2$ for 5 minutes, and the conventional freezing was conducted with an automatic freezer. Motility and survival rates were measured by CASA (Computer assisted sperm an alyzing system) and FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate), respectively after thawing semen at $50^{\circ}C$ for 12 seconds. The results were analyzed by ANOVA with STATVIEW statistical program. The vitrificatioin solution (LEY + 10.5% glycerol + 1.5% OEP) presented higher motility (20.9%) than other solutions while the solution (LEY + 1M trehalose + 1.5% OEP) showed the lowest (motility : 5.2%). However, survival rates of vitrified sperms detected by FITC showed 1~4% live sperms in almost of dead sperms at all vitrification solutions' groups, but survival rate of freezing solution of LEY + 1M trehalose + 1.5% OEP LEY and LEY + 10.5% glycerol + 1.5% OEP were showed 49%, and 79%, respectively. There were differences (P<0.05) survival rate of conventional freezing in LEY + 10.5% glycerol + 1.5% OEP and LEY + 1M trehalose + 1.5% OEP and the remaining showed no differences. The results suggested that vitrified boar semen was not enough to be utilized for the artificial insemination, but it showed possibility to utilize for ICSI and conventional freezing with glycerol would be useful method for artificial insemination in pig while we choose the outstanding semen against tolerance to freezing damages.

  • Adverse environmental conditions such as drought, high salt and cold/freezing are major factors that reduces crop productivity worldwide. According to a survey, 50-80% of the maximum potential yield is lost by these "environmental or abiotic stresses", which is approximately ten times higher than the loss by biotic stresses. Thus, improving stress-tolerance of crop plants is an important way to improve agricultural productivity, In order to develop such stress-tolerant crop plants, we set out to identify key stress signaling components that can be used to develop commercially viable crop varieties with enhanced stress tolerance. Our primary focus so far has been on the identification of transcription factors that regulate stress responsive gene expression, especially those involved in ABA-mediated stress response. Be sessile, plants have the unique capability to adapt themselves to the abiotic stresses. This adaptive capability is largely dependent on the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA), whose level increases under various stress conditions, triggering adaptive response. Central to the response is ABA-regulated gene expression, which ultimately leads to physiological changes at the whole plant level. Thus, once identified, it would be possible to enhance stress tolerance of crop plants by manipulating the expression of the factors that mediate ABA-dependent stress response. Here, we present our work on the isolation and functional characterization of the transcription factors.n factors.
