The cost of conventional cultivation of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is very expensive, because shadow condition should be maintained during cultivation periods owing to inherently weak plant for high-temperature. Therefore, application of plant biotechnology may be possible to overcome these difficulties caused by conventional breeding of ginseng. Transgenic plants were produced via Agrobacterium tumefaciens Gv3101, both carrying the binary plasmid pBI121 mLPISO with nptII and Iso (isoprene synthase) gene. Integration of the transgenes into the P. ginseng nuclear genome was confirmed by PCR analysis using nptII primers and Iso primers. RT-PCR result also demonstrated the foreign isoprene synthase gene in three transgenic plant lines (T1, T3, and T5) which was expressed at the transcriptional level. When whole plants of transgenic ginseng were exposed to high temperature at $46^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, a non-transformed plant was wilted from heat shock, whereas a transgenic plant appeared to remain healthy. We suggest that the introduction of exogenous isoprene synthase is considered as alternative methods far generating thermotolerance ginseng.

인삼에 염류내성을 증진시키기 위해서 Arobidopsis에서 분리한 SAL1 (3‘(2’),5‘-bis-phosphate nucleotidase) 유전자를 Agrobacterium Tumefaciens을 이용하여 인삼자엽으로부터 형질 전환체를 유도하였다. Agrobacterium 과 공동배양 후 식물호르몬 무첨가 선발배지 (kanamycin 100 mg/l)에 치상한 결과 10%미만의 자엽에서 형질전환 인삼체세포배가 발생되었으나, Agrobacterium과 공동배양 후 1.0 mg/l 2.4-D와 0.5 mg/l kinetin의 식물호르몬을 첨가한 배지에 옮겨준 경우에는 74%의 형질전환율을 보였다. 발생한 체세포배는 초기에 250 mg/l 의 cefotaxime이 첨가된 MS배지에서 3주간 배양한 후 100 mg/l kanamycin과 250 mg/l cefotaxime이 첨가된 MS배지에 계대배양하여 선발하였다. 자엽단계로 발달한 체세포배들은 발아시키기 위해서 50 mg/l kanamycin과 10 mg/l 지베렐린이 첨가된 MS 배지로 옮겨 선발하였다. Kanamycin 첨가배지에서 선발된 체세포배들은 특이 프라이머로 PCR 증폭을 통하여 최종적으로 형질전환체를 확인하였으며, 줄기와 뿌리가 잘 발달된 형질전환체들은 성공적으로 토양에 순화시켰다.

The objective of this study is to develop a systematic purification plant using the metabolism of aerobic microorganisms. This system is subsequently aerated and continuously removes suspended solids and settling sludges caused by aerating pressure at the bottom of a lower pipe (i.e., Continuous Removal of Suspended solids and Settling sludges, CRSS). The CRSS plants are brought out by introducing fine air bubbles into the liquid phase of a lower pipe in the bio-reactor. These plant uses aeration pipe, with multiple inlets to sweep the floor of bio-reactor tank, instead of the conventional scraper mechanisms. The principal advantage of this system is that it can continuously remove very small or light particles that settles completely within a short time. Once the particles have been floated to the surface, they can be moved into the pipe and collected in the settling tank by sequently aerated pressure. The experimental results shows that about 99.0% of the biochemical oxygen demand(BOD), 99.3% of the suspended solid(SS), 92.3% of the total nitrogen(T-N), 99.0% of the turbidity(TU), 100% of the total coliform(TC)and ammonia was respectively removed during aerobic digestion for 9 days. These result indicates that the CRS S plants are very effective for reduction and deodorization of swine wastewater contaminants, and the efflux from CRS S can either be discharged in the river or used as nutrient solution of formulation for plant growth factories. The developed CRSS plant proved to be flexible and it can simply be adapted to any type of biological waste treatment problem.roblem.

The purpose of this study is to derive institutional improvement methods for promoting the Damaged Area Restoration Project in greenbelts. The current status of greenbelts in Gyeonggi-do, where greenbelts are extensively distributed was analyzed, and the relevant laws and regulations were reviewed to suggest measures to promote the restoration project. The area of damaged areas within greenbelts in Gyeonggi-do was 6,121,024 m², accounting for about 0.52% of the total area of greenbelts, and more than 80% was found to be located in Namyangju (55.49%), Hanam (16.48%), and Siheung (8.68%). Various measures to improve the policy were examined as follows: reducing the minimum size of the restoration project area; adjusting baseline of recognizing range of damaged areas; introducing the right of claim for land sale; allowing long-term unexecuted urban parks to be replaced as alternative sites for parks and green spaces; simplifying administrative procedures; and allowing public participation. All of them are expected to promote the restoration project within greenbelts. In results, when the minimum size of area for the restoration project was reduced from 10,000 m² into 5,000 m², 3,000 m² and 2,000 m², the ratio of the number of combinable lots to the total number of lots increased from 4.4% to 18.8%, 38.8%, and 55.9% respectively in Namyangju. Morever, when the recognizable ranges of the restoration project were extended to the structures obtaining building permit as of March 30, 2016 and obtaining use approvals before December, 2017, the number of applicable lots increased by 5.1% and 9.2% respectively.

Ferritin 유전자를 벼의 저장기관인 배유에 특이적으로 발현시킬 수 있는 glutelin, gGlobulin 및 zein 프로모터를 활용하여 쌀알에 최대로 발현시켜, 고부가가치를 가진 가공용 벼 품종을 육성하여 천연의 철 성분이 강화된 유아용 이유식 생산에 이용할 수 있으므로 유아들에게 천연의 철분을 안정적으로 공급할 수 있는 형질전환체를 육성하였다. 종자 저장단백질인 glutelin, globulin 및 zein의 프로모터와 ferritin 유전자를 pMJ21 vector에 pGBF, pGTF 및 pZ4F 등의 Ti-plasmid를 Agrobacterium에 도입하여 동안벼와 화신벼에 형질전환 하였다. 동안벼 종자를 사용하였을 때 pGBF 재조합 유전자는 19.2%, pGTF는 15.0%, pZ4F는 18.4%가 재분화되었고, 화신벼 종자를 사용하였을 때에는 pGBF 재조합 유전자는 6.7%, pGTF는 11.7%, pZ4F는 3.4%가 재분화되었다. 형질전환 벼의 ferritin 유전자의 도입여부는 PCR 분석과 Southern 분석으로 확인하였으며 ferritin 유전자의 유전자 발현은 Norihern 및 Western 분석에 의해 확인하였다. Southern blot 분석 결과로부터 각각의 배유특이 프로모터 유래 형질전환체 중에서 single copy로 도입된 개체를 선발 할 수 있었다. 또한 이들 형질전환 계통들에서 도입유전자의 발현량은 wild type 벼에 비하여 매우 높게 나타났다. 또한 철 단백질의 철분 축적 정도를 분석한 결과 Zein 프로모터를 사용한 형질전환 계통 (T1-2)에서 171.4 ppm으로 wild type과 비교하여 6.4 배의 철분함량 증가를 보였다. 그러나 globulin 및 glutelin 프로모터 유래 형질전환체에서는 wild type과 비교하여 $2.1{\sim}3.0$ 배의 철분함량 증가를 보였다. 벼 형질전환체들의 생육상황을 조사한 결과 초장은 변이 폭이 매우 크게 나타났으며, 대조품종과 비교하여 50%정도 감소한 왜성 및 이형 식물체도 출현되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 형질전환체 중에서 표현형 적으로 대조품종과 거의 같은 식물체를 선발하여 후대를 육성하였다. 육성한 T1 세대에서 형질전환체의 초장, 간장, 수장, 분얼수 및 등숙률을 조사한 결과 초장, 간장, 수장, 분얼수에 있어서는 대조 품종과 큰 변이를 보이지 않았으나 등숙률에 있어서는 $53.3{\sim}82.2%$의 비교적 큰 변이를 나타내었다.

To reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants, researchers focusing on coal and biomass co-firing technology. Biomass, with its carbon-neutral nature and lower quantities of nitrogen and sulfur compared with coals, has a positive impact on coal-fired power generation. Many studies on the combustion of biomass have been conducted, but the study on the combustion characteristics of biomass char is limited. FERPM predicts char combustion characteristics with high accuracy by introducing experimental data-based parameters of biomass char and has not yet been applied in numerical simulation. In this study, FERPM is numerically applied to char combustion of wood pellets representing wood-based biomass and the combustion characteristics are compared with the kinetic/diffusion limited model, intrinsic model, and diffusion limited model.

This paper proposes an improved signal processing strategy for accurate feedwater flowrate estimation in nuclear power plants. It is generally known that ∼2% thermal power errors occur due to fouling Phenomena in feedwater flowmeters. In the strategy Proposed, the noises included in feedwater flowrate signal are classified into rapidly varying noises and gradually varying noises according to the characteristics in a frequency domain. The estimation precision is enhanced by introducing a low pass filter with the wavelet analysis against rapidly varying noises, and an autoassociative neural network which takes charge of the correction of only gradually varying noises. The modified multivariate stratification sampling using the concept of time stratification and MAXIMIN criteria is developed to overcome the shortcoming of a general random sampling. In addition the multi-stage robust training method is developed to increase the quality and reliability of training signals. Some validations using the simulated data from a micro-simulator were carried out. In the validation tests, the proposed methodology removed both rapidly varying noises and gradually varying noises respectively in each de-noising step, and 5.54% root mean square errors of initial noisy signals were decreased to 0.674% after de-noising. These results indicate that it is possible to estimate the reactor thermal power more elaborately by adopting this strategy.

There has been an increasing demand for introducing a base isolation system to secure the seismic safety of a nuclear power plant. However, the design criteria and the safety assessment methodology of a base isolated nuclear facility are still being developed. A performance based design concept for the base isolation system needs to be added to the general seismic design procedures. For the base isolation system, the displacement responses of isolators excited by the extended design basis earthquake are important as well as the design displacement. The possible displacement response by the extended design basis earthquake should be limited less than the failure displacement of the isolator. The failure of isolators were investigated by an experimental test to define the ultimate strain level of rubber bearings. The uncertainty analysis, considering the variations of the mechanical properties of isolators and input ground motions, was performed to estimate the probabilistic distribution of the isolator displacement. The relationship of the displacement response by each ground motion level was compared in view of a period elongation and a reduction of damping. Finally, several examples of isolator parameters are calculated and the considerations for an acceptable isolation design is discussed.

The medicinal plant Panax ginseng (P. ginseng) contains various phytosterols and bioactive triterpene saponins (ginsenosides). Squalene synthase catalyzes the first committed step in ginsenoside biosynthesis. Transgenic plants of P. ginseng were generated by introducing the squalene synthase gene derived from P. ginseng. Adventitious roots of the transgenic ginseng grew best in B5 medium, and 2 g of inoculum secured an optimal growth rate. Two phytohormones, indolebutyric acid and 1-naphtalene acetic acid, increased root growth and decreased ginsenoside production. Treatment with two selected elicitors, chitosan and jasmonic acid, and a precursor of the isoprenoid pathway, mevalonic acid, enhanced ginsenoside production and retarded ginseng growth rate.

Traditionally, genetic variability is generated by an extensive crossing program, which is complemented by strict selection to identify useful new recombinants. Plant biotechnology offers many opportunities for breeders to solve certain breeding problems at the molecular level. The tissue culture methodology and the genetic modification of economically important monocotyledons have undergone a revolution in the last decade. As the production of transgenic plants is a complex procedure, including the uptake of DNA molecules into the cells, the integration of foreign nucleotide sequences into the host genomic DNA and the expression of new genes in a controlled way, and as there are still many unsolved questions, further development is necessary. The methodology opens up the possibility of introducing novel genes that may induce resistance to diseases and abiotic stresses, allow the modification of dough quality and the dietetic quality of proteins, and increase the levels of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamins. In the present review, the authors would like to summarise the most important advances in wheat transformation.
