Abiotic stress adversely affects crop growth worldwide. Drought of the major abiotic stresses have the most significant impact on all of the crop. The main objective of this study was to assess the effects of drought stress on photochemical performance and vitality of maize (Zea mays L.). The photochemical characteristics were analyzed in the context of period of drought stress during the maize growth. Drought experiment was carried out for four weeks, thereafter, the drought treated maize was re-watered. The polyphasic OJIP fluorescence transient was used to evaluate the behavior of photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI) during the entire experiment period. In drought stress, the performance Index (PI) level was reached earlier when compared to the controls. For the screening of drought stress tolerance the drought factor index (DFI) of each variety was calculated as follow DFI= log(A) + 2log(B). All the fourteen cultivars show DFI ranged from -0.69 to 0.30, meaning less useful in selection of drought tolerant cultivars. PI and electron transport flux values of fourteen cultivars were to indicate reduction of photosynthetic performance during the early vegetative stage under drought stress. In conclusion, DFI and energy flux parameters can be used as photochemical and physiological index.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), one of the most prevalent leukemia types in adults, demonstrates great heterogeneity in molecular and clinical terms. Hence, there is a necessity to the mechanisms involved in AML generation in order to determine optimal treatment. This cross sectional study aimed to assess changes in BECN1 gene expression in with blood samples from 30 AML patients, compared with samples from 15 healthy persons. RNA was extracted and cDNA was synthesized and Real Time PCR applied to determine BECN1 gene expression. The results showed no significant differences in BECN1 gene expression between patients with AML and normal controls (P > 0.05). It appears that expression of BECN1 does not play a significant role in genesis of AML leukemia.

The aim of this study was to verify the trypanocidal effectiveness of aqueous, methanolic, and ethanolic extracts of Achyrocline satureioides against Trypanosoma evansi in vitro. A. satureioides extracts, known as macela, were used on trypomastigotes at different concentrations (1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and $1,000{\mu}g/ml$) and exposure times (0, 1, 3, 6, and 9 hr). A dose-dependent effect was observed when the 3 extracts were tested. The concentrations of 1, 5, and $10{\mu}g/ml$ were not able to kill trypomastigotes until 3 hr after exposure, and the highest concentrations (500 and $1,000{\mu}g/ml$) were able to kill all trypomastigotes after 1 hr. When the time of exposure was increased up to 9 hr, the concentrations at 50 and $100{\mu}g/ml$ were 100% effective to 3 extracts. The chemical analysis of the extracts revealed the presence of flavonoids, a trypanocidal compound already described. Based on the results, we can conclude that the A. satureioides extracts exhibit trypanocidal effects.

본 연구에서는 엽록소 형광반응 (OJIP)분석을 통해 고추재배에서 폐달걀 분해 액비의 생육증진효과에 대하여 평가하였다. 고추재배 전기간을 통하여 고추의 생장은 통계학적으로 유의성을 보이지는 않았으나, 폐달걀 분해 액비를 처리한 실험구에서 좋은 생육을 보였다. 엽록소 형광반응 실험 시작한 후 무처리구의 엽록소 형광량이 분해 액비의 형광량보다 커서 분해 액비 처리구의 광이용 효율이 더 좋았음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 결국 광합성량의 증가로 이어질 것으로 판단된다. 광화학 매개변수 중 Fo, ABS/RC, RC/ABS, TRo/RC, $DI_0$/RC, $\text{DF_{TOTAL ABS}}$ 등 6개 parameter가 광화학 반응의 효율을 나타내는 중요한 요인으로 판단되었다.

부화장에서 폐기하는 달걀을 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens를 이용 분해하여 비료화하는 데 있어 발생하는 악취는 폐기물 처리에 있어 중요한 제한요소 중 하나이다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 두 개의 효모, Saccharomyces cerevisiae KACC 30008와 KACC 30068를 사용하여 실험하였다. 효모 균주는 모두 세균만을 사용하여 분해 처리하였을 때보다 섞어서 사용한 경우 암모니아 발생을 약 35.4% 감소하였고, 두 균주를 같이 섞어 사용한 경우는 57.1% 감소시켰다. 두 균주는 황화수소 또한 42%와 90.4%씩 각각 감소시켰고, 동시에 두 균주를 같이 사용했을 때에는 황화수소 발생을 98.5% 감소시켰다. 메틸메르캅탄의 경우 KA30008은 감소시키지 못하였으나 KA30068은 40%, 두 균주를 함께 사용한 경우는 66.7% 감소시켰다. 전체적으로 본 연구는 효모의 처리가 B. amyloliquefaciens를 사용하여 폐달걀 분해 시 악취 발생을 저감하는 효과를 더 증진시킴을 보여주었다.

The genus Patrinia, belonging to the Valerianaceae family, includes ca. 20 species of herbaceous plants with yellow or white flowers, distributed in Korea, China, Siberia, and Japan. Among them, P. scabiosaefolia (yellow Patrinia), P. saniculaefolia, P. villosa (white Patrinia), and P. rupestris are found in Korea. Several members of this genus have long been used in folk medicine for the treatment of inflammation, wound healing, ascetics, and abdominal pain after childbirth. Thus far, ca. 217 constituents, namely flavonoids, iridoids, triterpenes, saponins, and others have been identified in this genus. Crude extract and isolated compounds have been found to exhibit anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, cytotoxic activities, lending support to the rationale behind several of its traditional uses. The present review compiles information concerning the phytochemistry and biological activities of Patrinia, with particular emphasis on P. villosa, as studied by our research group.

In the present study, Pisonia grandis leaves were extracted with chloroform and methanol. The extracts were vacuum dried to yield the respective chloroform (CE) and methanol extract (ME). CE and ME were evaluated for analgesic, anti-inflammatory (acute and chronic) and diuretic activity at 2 dose levels (250 and 500 mg/kg). Significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities were associated with CE and ME. CE at the dose level of 500 mg/kg was found to exhibit equivalent chronic anti-inflammatory activity as diclofenac at 50 mg/kg dose level. Significant diuretic activity was exhibited by ME. Graded dose response for all the activities were observed for the extracts.
