A cDNA (Oslls1) encoding Lls1-homologue of maize was isolated from cDNA library of rice (Oryza sativa cv. Ilpum). The 2,138 bp of full length Oslls1 clone contains an open reading frame of 1,623 nucleotides encoding 575 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of Oslls1 has a high level of homology with chlorophyll a oxygenases of Arabidopsis thaliana (67%) and Marchantia polymorpha (65%). Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA indicates the existence of a small gene family for Oslls1 in the rice genome. The expression of Oslls1 mRNA was induced in leaves and germinating seeds. Treatment of $H_2O$$_2$significantly down-regulated Oslls1 expression. The expression of Oslls1 mRNA was consititutively down-regulated in the blm, a rice mutant exhibiting spontaneous necrotic lesions. These results suggest that this Oslls1 gene may be involved incell death mechanisms in the blm mutant of rice.

Glycosyltransferases are enzymes (EC 2.4) that catalyze the transfer of monosaccharide moieties from activated nucleotide sugar to a glycosyl acceptor molecule which can be a carbohydrate, glycoside, oligosaccharide, or a polysaccharide. In this study, a UDP-glucosyltransferase cDNA was isolated from Brassica rapa using a rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and subsequently named BrUGT. It has a full-length cDNA of 1,236 bp with 119 bp 5'-untranslated region (UTR), a complete ORF of 834 bp encoding a polypeptide of 277 amino acids (31.19 kDa) and a 3'-UTR of 283 bp. BLASTX analysis hits a catalytic domain of Glycos_transf_1 super family (cl12012) that belongs to the Glycosyltransferases group 1 with tetratricopeptide (TPR) regions located between 165 to 350 bp. Expression analysis showed high mRNA transcripts in pistil, followed by petal, seed and calyx of flower. Moreover, expression analysis of BrUGT in Chinese cabbage seedlings under stresses of cold, salt, PEG, $H_2O_2$, drought and ABA showed elevated mRNA transcript. Furthermore, when BrUGT gene was transformed into rice using pUbi-1 promoter, overexpression was evident among the $T_1$ plants. This study provides insights into the function of BrUGT in plants.

The objective of present study was to investigate the anti oxidative and hepatoprotective effects of tomato extracts. Total antioxidant capacity and total antioxidant response were 5.5 and $19.8{\mu}g$ Trolox equivalent per mg of tomato extract, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging activity of tomato extracts ($10mg\;ml^{-1}$) was 70% as compared to 100% by pyrogallol solution as a reference. The effect of the tomato extracts on lipid peroxidation was examined using rat liver mitochondria induced by iron/ascorbate. Tomato extracts at the concentration of $0.5mg\;ml^{-1}$ significantly decreased TBARS concentration. Tomato extracts prevented lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of the tomato extracts on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was examined using cell-free system induced by $H_2O_2/FeSO_4$. Addition of $1mg\;ml^{-1}$ of tomato extracts significantly reduced dichlorofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence. Tomato extracts caused concentration-dependent attenuation of the increase in DCF fluorescence, indicating that tomato extracts significantly prevented ROS generation in vitro. The effect of tomato extracts on cell viability and proliferation was examined using hepatocyte culture. Primary cultures of rat hepatocytes were incubated with 1mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) for 90 min in the presence or absence of tomato extracts. MTT values by addition of tomato extracts at the concentration of 2, 10, and $20mg\;ml^{-1}$ in the presence of t-BHP were 13, 33 and 48%, respectively, compared to 100% as control. Tomato extracts increased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that tomato extracts suppressed lipid peroxidation and t-BHP-induced hepatotoxicity and scavenged ROS generation. Thus antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of tomato extracts seem to be due to, at least in part, the prevention from free radicals-induced oxidation, followed by inhibition of lipid peroxidation.

오옥신의 작용이 PKC에 의한 단백질의 인산화 과정과 연관되어 있는지 확인하기 위하여 PKC를 활성화시키는 물질인 DAG와 TPA 그리고 오옥신이 옥수수 자엽초의 신장에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. DAG와 TPA를 옥수수 자엽초에 처리하면 DAG는 최대 500%까지, TPA는 최대 300%까지 자엽초 생장율을 증가시켰다. 이때 IAA나 TPA 각각에 의한 생장율 증가의 합(최대 800%)보다도 TPA와 IAA를 함께 처리한 조직의 생장율 증가가 더 커서(최대 1200%) TPA와 IAA는 상승효과를 나타내었다. 전기영동을 통하여 TPA와 IAA를 처리한 자엽초 세포질의 단백질 인산화 정도를 비교한 결과 TPA+IAA>IAA>TPA>control의 순서대로 단백질의 인산화가 증가했다. 이러한 단백질 인산화의 증가와 신장 생장과의 관계를 명확히 하기 위해 PKC 억제제로 알려진 STA를 자엽초에 처리한 결과 TPA의 존재에 관계없이 생장율이 80%까지 저해되었다. 이와 같은 실험 결과들은 IAA에 의한 자엽초 신장 촉진 과정의 적어도 한 단계에 동물의 PKC와 유사할 것으로 추측되는 PKC에 의한 단백질 인산화가 연관되어 있을 가능성이 있다고 생각하게 한다.

'The Regional complex long-term program of restoration (reintroduction) of Primoryes ginseng population up to 2005' elaborated by Primorye governor administration, Regional Committee of Natural Resources and Russian Academy of Sciences operates in Russian Primorye. The Institute of Biology and Soil Science (IBSS) provides the scientific implementation of this program including the genetic analysis of extant ginseng populations, plant reproduction and offspring identification. According to our investigations, the genetic resource of P. ginseng in Primorye is represented by three populations of wild-growing ginseng and a few private plantations. The results obtained by RAPD allowed concluding that this resource is dispersed among the wild and cultivated ginseng sub-populations in such a way that each of sub-populations studied has to be represented in living plant collection as a stock material to maintain species genetic variability. The allozyme analyses also showed that the small sub-populations of natural ginseng are characterized by unique genetic diversity and, therefore, they all need to be represented in reintroduction centers. Additionally the allozyme analysis discovered that the Blue Mountain and Khasan populations possess the most genetic diversity. So, at least one more reproductive ginseng unit has to be created besides two already existing reintroduction centers representing the Sikhote-Alin and the Blue Mountain populations.

황해쑥(Artemisia argyi H.Lev. & Vaniot)은 우수한 항염증 활성을 지닌 것으로 다양하게 보고 되었다. 그러나, 대표적인 염증 질환 중 하나인 골관절염에 미치는 영향은 현재까지 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 염증 유발 연골 세포 및 골관절염 유발 동물 모델에 미치는 황해쑥 효과에 대해 조사하였다. 첫째, interleukin 1 beta를 투여한 관절 연골 세포에 황해쑥 물 추출물을 투여한 후 metalloporeinase (MMP) -3 및 MMP-13의 발현을 mRNA 및 단백질 수준에서 분석 하였다. 또한, 내측 반월상 연골의 불안정화에 의해 유도 된 골관절염 마우스 모델을 사용하여 황해쑥 물 추출물의 골관절염 억제 효과를 분석 하였다. 세포 실험에서, 본 황해쑥은 MMP-3와 MMP-13의 mRNA 및 단백질 발현을 유의하게 억제하였다. 또한. 황해쑥 물 추출물을 투여한 실험 동물의 관절 조직을 Safranin O 염색을 실시하여 분석한 결과 연골 하 골판 두께의 감소 및 활막 염증 개선 효과가 관찰 되었다. HPLC를 이용한 성분 분석 결과, 황해쑥 물 추출물은 항염증 및 항관절염 활성을 가진 jaceosidin과 eupatilin을 함유하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과로부터 황해쑥은 골관절염의 치료 또는 예방에 유망한 소재로 개발될 수 있음을 시사한다.

The effect of varied light intensities on the growth of daughter plants during propagation and after transplant to raised beds were examined in 'Sulhyang' strawberry. To this end, four treatments in controlling solar radiation inside a plastic house were made: 55% retractable shading and 35, 55, and 75% fixed shading. The plastic house was shaded only from 11:00 to 16:00 in June and 10:00 to 16:00 in July to September for the treatment of 55% retractable shading. The mean solar radiation inside the plastic house in the retractable 55% shading treatment was 317 W·m^-2 and those in the 35, 55, and 75% fixed shading treatments were 183, 165, and 116 W·m^-2, respectively, at 10 o'clock in the morning. The 55% and 75% fixed shading resulted in taller daughter plants with wider leaf areas than 55% retractable shading. The retractable shading also showed higher leaf numbers, crown diameters, root weights, and fresh weights compared to fixed shading treatments. Regarding the inorganic element contents, daughter plants grown under 75% fixed shading had 1.35% total nitrogen content followed by 1.19% in 35% fixed shading, 1.14% in 55% fixed shading, 1.14% in open culture, and 1.10% in 55% fixed shading. After 54 days following the transplant of daughter plants to a raised bed, the fresh weight of the aboveground part was the heaviest in the 55% retractable shading and non-shading treatments. The 75% fixed shading treatment had the lowest fresh weight of the aboveground plant parts. The results of this study could be used for the production of high-quality daughter strawberry plants.
