Effects of low temperature ($8^{\circ}C$) on the hydraulic conductivity of young roots of a chilling-sensitive (cucumber; Cucumis sativus L.) and a chilling-resistant (figleaf gourd; Cucurbita ficifolia Bouche) crop have been measured at the levels of whole root systems (root hydraulic conductivity, $Lp_r$) and of individual cortical cells (cell hydraulic conductivity, Lp). In figleaf gourd, there was a reduction only in hydrostatic $Lp_r$ but not in osmotic $Lp_r$ suggesting that the activity of water channels was not much affected by low root temperature (LRT)treatment in this species. Changes in cell Lp in response to chilling and recovery were similar asroot level, although they were more intense at the root level. Roots of figleaf gourd recovered better from LRT treatment than those of cucumber. In figleaf gourd, recovery (both at the root and cell level) often resulted in Lp and $Lp_r$ values which were even bigger than the original, i.e. there was an overshoot in hydraulic conductivity. These effects were larger forosmotic (representing the cell-to-cell passage of water) than for hydrostatic $Lp_r$. After a short term (1 d) exposure to $8\;^{\circ}C$ followed by 1 d at $20\;^{\circ}C$, hydrostatic $Lp_r$ of cucumber nearly recovered and that of figleaf gourd still remained higher due to the overshoot. On the contrary, osmotic $Lp_r$ and cell Lp in both species remained high by a factor of 3 as compared to the control, possibly due to an increased activity of water channels. After pre-conditioning of roots at LRT, increased hydraulic conductivitywas completely inhibited by $HgCl_2$ at both the root and cell levels. Different from figleaf gourd, recovery from chilling was not complete in cucumber after longer exposure to LRT. It is concluded that at LRT, both changes in the activity of aquaporins and alterations of root anatomy determine the water uptake in both species. To better understand the aquaporin function in plants under various stress conditions, we examined the transgenic Arabidopsisand tobacco plants that constitutively overexpress ArabidopsisPIP1;4 or PIP2;5 under various abiotic stress conditions. No significant differences in growth rates were found between the transgenic and wild-type plants under favorable growth conditions. By contrast, overexpression of PIP1;4 or PIP2;5 had a negative effect on seed germination and seedling growth under drought stress, whereas it had a positive effect under cold stress and no effect under salt stress. Measurement of water transport by cell pressure probe revealed that these observed phenotypes under different stress conditions were closely correlated with the ability of water transport by each aquaporin in the transgenic plants. Together, our results demonstrate that PIP-type aquaporins play roles in seed germination, seedling growth, and stress response of Arabidopsis and tobacco plants under various stress conditions, and emphasize the importance of a single aquaporin-mediated water transport in these cellular processes.

Although various raw plant materials have been demonstrated to exert anti-obesity effects to a greater or lesser extent in both humans and animals when they are used to supplement the diet, it has not been shown extensively that they influence adipocyte cell differentiation involving lipid metabolic gene expressions. Using a well-established 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation system, we decided to look into molecular and cellular event occurring during adipocyte differentiation when raw plant materials aye included in the process, in an effort to demonstrate the potential use of a screening system to define the functions of traditionally well-known materials. To these ends, the effects of ethanol (EtOH) or EtOH/distilled water (DW) extracts of Wax Gourd were examined using cytochemical and molecular analyses to determine whether components of the extracts modulate adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-Ll preadipocytes in vitro. The cytochemical results demonstrated that EtOH or EtOH/DW extracts did not affect lipid accumulation and cell proliferation, although the degree of lipid accumulation was influenced slightly depending on the extract. EtOH extract was highly effective in apoptotic induction during differentiation of 3T3-Ll preadipocytes (p<0.05). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), Uncoupling protein (Ucp) 2, 3 and 4 also showed that while LPL expression was not influenced, Ucp2, 3 and 4 were up regulated in the EtOH extract-treated group and down regulated in the EtOH/DW extract-treated group. These changes in gene expressions suggest that the components in different fractions of Wax Gourd extracts may modulate lipid metabolism by either direct or indirect action. Taking these results together, it was concluded that molecular and cellular analyses of adipocyte differentiation involving lipid metabolic genes should facilitate understanding of cellular events occurring during adipocyte differentiation. Furthermore, the experimental scheme and analytical methods used in this study should provide a screening system for the functional study of raw plant materials in obesity research.

Hexaconazole의 처리가 수박의 생육 및 박의 ethylene 발생에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과를 하면 다음과 같다. 약제처리 방법에 따른 수박 생장의 억제효과는 경엽처리가 현저하게 효과적인데 반하여 토양관주 처리에서는 효과가 없거나 미미하였다. Hexaconazole 경엽처리시 수박생장은 약제처리 7일후에는 농도가 높으면 높을수록 신장, 마디수가 억제된 반면 약제처리 42일후에는 무처리와 차이가 없었다. Hexaconazole 처리시 수박의 암꽃 착화위치는 착과부위인 제 2번 암꽃까지의 길이생장 및 마디수에는 아무런 영향이 없었고, 측지길이에 미치는 영향은 제 2, 제 3마디에서 현저하게 억제되었는데 이는 처리시기와 밀접한 관련이 있을 것으로 판단된다. Hexaconazole 처리시 박의 ethylene 발생량은 처리농도가 높을수록 ethylene 발생량이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 약제처리 5일까지는 계속 증가하다가 이후 감소하였다.

According to traditional oriental medicine, only non-coagulated native deer blood is said to be effective, and coagulated deer blood is ineffective. Thus, a drying and tablet-producing method for deer blood was developed to maintain its physiological and therapeutic activity, and so that after drying, it can be redissolved and protected from coagulation. Proteases such as trypsin, pepsin, chymotrypsin, and aminopeptidase were added to the deer blood indicating that it coagulated in an hour, as shown by the reference. Wax gourd extract, which is high in protease, was added to the blood resulting in anticoagulation for 31 hours. Also, additions of 1% EDTA, 0.38% sodium citrate, 0.16% calcium oxalate, 1.2% ethanol, and 0.006% heparin to the deer blood resulted in anticoagulation for 1 hour, 4 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour, and 31 hours, respectively. In an experiment using 0.19% sodium citrate plus 1% wax gourd extract, and 0.006% heparin plus 1% wax gourd extract, anticoagulation was maintained for up to 72 hours. However, since heparin can not be used in food, the deer blood tablet was made with the addition of 0.19% sodium citrate and 1% wax gourd extract, followed by freeze drying. The dissolution rate for the tablet manufactured in this manner was 96.7%. And the dissolution rates for spray-dried deer blood, vacuum-dried deer blood, and marketed deer blood tablets were 85%, 81%, and 25.5%, respectively. The composition of the tablet produced from the freeze-dried deer blood was 56.4% protein, 18.7% lactose, 1.2% amino acids, 1.0% glucose, 0.7% lipids, 180 mg/100 g of iron, 13 mg/100 g of potassium, 39.1 mg/100 g of calcium, 480 mg/100 g of sodium, 368 mg/100 g of chloride, each.

CGMMV는 한국에서 수박의 주요 병원균이고, 수박 생산에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 이 연구에서는 박 종자의 CGMMV를 RT-PCR을 이용하여 신속하고 민감하게 검정하는 진단방법을 개발하였다. CGMMV-W의 외피 단백질 유전자 sequence에서 제작된 CGMMV에 특이적인 primer인 Wmfl과 Wmrl은 RT-PCR에 의해 420 bp의 증폭산물을 증폭하였다. RT-PCR에 의한 진단을 위하여 바이러스 추출과정을 간소화하고 종자 추출물의 반응 억제물질을 감소시키기 위해 ethanol 침전, double filtration, PEG 침전, phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol에 의한 추출법을 비교하였으며 phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol에 의 한 추출법이 민감성이 강한 방법으로 선발되었다. RT-PCR을 위해 선발된 primer들과 추출법은 1,000립의 건전 종자에 1립의 이병 종자를 혼합한 수준까지 판별이 가능하였다. 신속하고 민감한 RT-PCR에 의한 본 검정방법은 높은 반응 억제물질을 함유하는 박 종자에서 CGMMV의 특이적인 진단을 위해 유용한 방법이다.

An efficient plant regeneration system has been developed for figleaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia Bouch$\'{e}$), which is exclusively used as a rootstock for cucumber. The protocol is based on results obtained from a series of culture experiments involving different parts of the cotyledons and various media. The culture of cotyledon explants was critical for the enhancement of shoot regeneration frequency. The lower parts of the cotyledon excised at the plumule base were found to display a markedly enhanced production of adventitious shoots compared to other cotyledon regions. Culture in silver nitrate-supplemented Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was not beneficial for shoot regeneration and suppressed root regeneration. Efficient shoot regeneration was obtained on MS medium containing 1.0 $mg\;l^{-1}$ zeatin and 0.1 $mg\;l^{-1}$ indole-3-acetic acid. Regenerated shoots successfully elongated and rooted in medium containing 0.1 $mg\;l^{-1}$ 1-naphthalene-acetic acid after 10-15 days of subculturing. The plantlets were satisfactorily acclimatized in a greenhouse and grew into normal plants without any morphological alterations.
