This study was conducted to investigate the effects of mixture of different maturity groups on dry matter yield and nutritive value of oat(var. Foothill and Swan) and rape(var. Akela, Ramon and Ember) in the Fall at the Experimental field of Woosuk University, Wanju, in 1998. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. Plant height of Foothill was very slightly higher than that of Swan in oat, but there was no significant difference. Also, although there was no significant difference, there was high in plant height of Ember and Akela with Foothill, and Ramon with Swan. 2. Dry matter(DM) yield of Swan was very slightly higher than that of Foothill in oat, but there was no significant difference. Although there was no significant difference, dry matter yield of Akela was the highest in both oats. 3. Acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber content of Swan were very slightly higher than that of Foothill in oat. And it was slightly higher in Akela or Ramon with Foothill, and it was greatly higher in Ember with Swan. 4. In vitro dry matter digestibility(IVDMD) content of Foothill was very slightly higher than that of Swan in oat. And it was slightly higher in Ember with Foothill, and it was slightly higher in Akela with Swan. Also, in vitro digestible dry matter(IVDDM) of Foothill was very slightly higher than that of Swan in oat. And it was slightly higher in Akela with Foothill and Swan. 5. Crude protein(CP) content and crude protein(CP) yield of Foothill were very slightly higher than that of Swan in oat. And it was slightly higher in Akela with Foothill and Swan. The results demonstrated that although there was not significant difference, the mixture of var, Foothill of oat and var, Akela of rape in the Fall was very good for nutritive value and DM yield.

Selection of oat variety according to cultivation period is an important to increase productivity of forage crop. To investigate the growth characters and dry matter productivity of oats according to cultivation period, early-maturing oat(EM0) and medium-maturing oat(MM0) variety were sown in spring and autumn at central district of Korea. When oats were cultivated in spring, MMO variety was longer 8 cm in leaf length and wider 5 mm in leaf width than 25 cm and 12 mm of EM0 variety, rexpectively. but in autumn, those were not different between maturities of oat varieties. Plant length of MMO variety was longer 7 cm than that of EM0 Variety in spring cultivation, but in autumn, plant length of EM0 variety was longer 14 cm than that of MMO variety. Heading dates were 20th to 22th May in EM0 variety, and 30th May to 10th June in MMO variety in spring cultivation, and ear of EM0 variety emerged 30th Oct. to loth Nov. but that of MMO variety did not emerge at harvesting day in autumn cultivation. In Spring cultivation, dry matter(DM) yield of EM0 variety was 7,349 kg/ha that was less 56% than 11,466 kg/ha of MMO variety, but In Autumn, was more 15% than 6,575 kg/ha of MMO variety. In conclusion, selection of oat variety in spring and autumn cultivation can be different with cropping system of forage crop, and this trial is suggesting that oat variety could be sown MMO variety in spring and EM0 variety in autumn at central district of Korea.

Being producing and evaluating oat-chocolate were a major goal in this study. There were various steps to make oat-chocolate. First, oat was roasted with an optimum roasting-temperature. Second, discovered the best natural antioxidant to extend storage period and improve quality of goods. Third, developed processing goods and made an evaluation of quality properties. We selected optimum roasting condition of $160^{\circ}C$ for 15 min based on the acid value and the sensory characteristics such as color, taste, smell and overall preference of oat flour. As for natural antioxidants, we made use of 3 kinds of antioxidants (cactus, lavender and green tea) and two concentrations (0.5 and 1%). In investigating antioxidants, an acid value was significantly decreased as the antioxidants were added (p<0.05). Nothing was as low in acid value as a chocolate with 1 % lavender flour in 7 days. Findings showed the sensory characteristics of products containing antioxidants such as green tea and cactus, were higher than those of Cont. in 7 days. A product including 0.5% green tea marked the best sensory score among antioxidants. Compared cost among 3 antioxidants, green tea was the cheapest. In the end, 0.5% green tea was selected as an optimal antioxidant to make high-quality oat chocolate. We made an end product by mixing green tea (0.5%) and oat. With respect to Hunter's color L (whiteness), a (redness) and b (yellowness), as green tea added, L and a level showed an increasing tendency. However, an opposition result was expressed in b level. When compared pH value and total acidity, it was statistically identical between Cont. and product with 0.5% green tea (G-0.5). There was different acid value among specimens. The acid value of G-0.5 was lower than that of Cont. up to 7 days, resulting in lower acid value than a ready-made product (D-Co.). When we assessed the sensory characteristics, G-0.5 was higher than other specimens such as Cont. and ready-made products (D-Co. and H-Co.) up to 6 days after manufacture. Put previous findings together, the addition of 0.5% green tea increased an antioxidative effect as well as the sensory acceptability of oat-chocolate.

The activation of phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline in plants as well as animals. To determine the presence of PLD in oat cells, we prepared inside-out plasma membrane and cytosolic fractions from oat tissues. PLD activities in both cytosol and plasma membrane were detected by ion chromatography method. The activity of PLD in plasma membrane was dependent upon $Ca^{2+}$ concentration and was heat stable. To investigate whether G-protein couples to PLD, the effects of $GTP{\gamma}S$ and $GDP{\beta}S$ on the PLD activity were measured. PLD activity was dramatically increased 300~400% in the presence of 50 ${\mu}M$ $GTP{\gamma}S$ but not in the presence of 50 ${\mu}M$ $GDP{\beta}S$. These results indicate that G-protein may be involved in regulation of PLD activity. To identify whether PLD is regulated by red light receptor, phytochrome, we irradiated red, far-red, or red/far-red/red light on oat protoplasts. PLD activity has increased 5-fold and 3-fold by treatment with red light and red/far-red/red light, respectively. In contrast, irradiation with far-red light had little or no effect on PLD activity. These results suggest that phytochrome regulates PLD activity through activation of G-protein in oat cells.

Objective: Oxidative stress (OS) plays a key role in the etiology of unexplained male infertility. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a potent antioxidant that may improve semen quality and OS in infertile men with idiopathic oligoasthenoteratospermia (OAT), but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of CoQ10 on OS markers and sperm DNA damage in infertile patients with idiopathic OAT. Methods: This prospective controlled study included 50 patients with idiopathic OAT and 50 fertile men who served as controls. All patients underwent a comprehensive medical assessment. Patients and controls received 200 mg of oral CoQ10 once daily for 3 months. Semen and blood were collected and analyzed for sperm parameters, seminal CoQ10 levels, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, total antioxidant capacity, catalase, sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), and serum hormonal profile. Results: The administration of CoQ10 to patients with idiopathic OAT significantly improved sperm quality and seminal antioxidant status and significantly reduced total ROS and SDF levels compared to pretreatment values. Conclusion: CoQ10, at a dose of 200 mg/day for 3 months, may be a potential therapy for infertile patients with idiopathic OAT, as it improved sperm parameters and reduced OS and SDF in these patients.

The efficacy of extracts of oat (Avena sativa L.) bran in loperamide-induced constipation in SD rats was evaluated. The rats were divided into six groups of five rats each. The animals in Group 1 (control) and Group 2 (constipated control) were administered with distilled water orally. Groups 3, 4 and 5 comprised of constipated rats administered 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight per day of extract of oat (Avena sativa L.) bran respectively while Group 6 were constipated rats administered bisacodyl (0.25 mg/kg body weight). Constipation was induced by oral administration of loperamide. The feeding characteristics, body weight, fecal properties were monitored. The results show that oats (Avena sativa L.) bran possesses laxative effects in loperamide-induced constipated rats.

Varietal and annual variations in the contents of ${\beta}$-glucan fractions per weight grain samples were examined in sixteen covered and eighteen naked barley and five oat cultivars developed in Korea. Also, the effect of pearling on ${\beta}$-glucan content was investigated. Average contents of total, soluble and insoluble ${\beta}$-glucan fractions were 5.25, 3.72, and 1.53%, respectively, in covered barley, and 5.86, 3.51, and 2.35%, respectively, in naked barley. Soluble ${\beta}$-glucan content was higher in covered barley, though total ${\beta}$-glucan content higher in naked barley. The total and insoluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents were higher in pearled grains. Total ${\beta}$-glucan content was higher in waxy barley than in non-waxy barley. Duwonchapssalbori, a two-rowed and waxy naked barley cultivar, was highest in total, soluble and insoluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Highly significant positive correlations were observed between total ${\beta}$-glucan and soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents both in covered and naked barley. There were significant annual variations in total ${\beta}$-glucan content in barley. Average contents of total, soluble and insoluble ${\beta}$-glucans of oat cultivars were 4.33, 3.44, and 0.89%, respectively. Contents of all fractions of ${\beta}$-glucans were higher in barley than in oat. These results would be useful for the breeding of high ${\beta}$-glucan variety and also for the use barley and oat as valueadded food ingredients.

In January 2017, discolored black oat seeds were found in the storage depot of a farmhouse in Jeongeup. Pyrenophora sp. was detected in 45% of the oat seeds surveyed. All Pyrenophora isolates obtained from the seeds were identified as Pyrenophora avenae based on the sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA regions and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) gene and validated by morphological and cultural characterization. A phylogenetic tree constructed using the ITS and GPDH sequences showed that the Korean isolates of P. avenae comprise of four genetically distinct groups. Pathogenicity test validated that the fungus is an infectious agent responsible for discolored black seeds and leaf blotch in oat plants. This is the first study report that P. avenae causes leaf blotch disease of oat in Korea.

This experiment was canied out to determine the effect of management practices on the quality of round baled oat silage at experimental field of Grassland and Forage Crops division, National Livestock Research Institute, RDA, Suwon from 1997 to 1998. The experiments are consist of randomized block design with 3 replications. The treatments are 3 wilting dates(0, 2 and 4 days), 3 wrap colors(white, black and green and 3 inoculant(untreated, Inoculant A and Inocuant B). The crude protein(CP) content was increased by prolonged wilting periods, but the effect of wrap color and inoculant were not founded. Acid detergent fiber(ADF) and neutral detergent fiber(NDF) content of all silages were not founded significant difference, but in vitro dry matter digestibility of oat silage with inoculant was significantly higher compare with control. Wilting treatment increased the mean silage acidity compare with control and inoculant treatment significantly reduced silage acidity. Wrap color did not influence the silage acidity. Wilting or inoculant treatments increased lactic acid content but, decreased the content of acetic and butyric acid. The quality grade of all silage were grade 3, except inoculant treated silage. Wilting or inoculant decreased silage DM loss, but wrap color did not effect on siage DM loss. The result of this study indicate that wilting for 2-4 days and inoculant will improve the silage fermentation and quality of round baled oat silage.
