Soybean nodule extract was prepared and tested for the effectiveness in the induction of asymbiotic nitrogen fixation of R. japonicum P-168. A Asymbiotic nitrogenase activity was increased over twice when glutamate was replaced by nodule extract in the induction media. Independently of the induction media, the nitrogenase activity in the assay media was also enhanced by the addition of nodule extract ($100-400{\mu}g$ protein/ml). The amount of ethylene in the assay media reached the highest point after 8 days incubation of R-168 and was decreased thereafter. The growth of R. japonicum R-168 was sensitive to the concentration of nodule extract. As a while, the effect of soybean root extract was not detected both in the induction of nitrogenase activity and in the growth of R. japonicum R-168.

Development of symbiotic root nodules in legumes involves the induction and repression of numerous genes in conjunction with changes in the level of phytohormones. We have isolated several genes that exhibit differential expression patterns during the development of soybean nodules. One of such genes, which were repressed in mature nodules, was identified as a putative aldo/keto reductase and thus named Glycine max aldo/keto reductase 1 (GmAKR1). GmAKR1 appears to be a close relative of a yeast aldo/keto reductase YakC whose in vivo substrate has not been identified yet. The expression of GmAKR1 in soybean showed a root-specific expression pattern and inducibility by a synthetic auxin analogue 2,4-D, which appeared to be corroborated by presence of the root-specific element and the stress-response element in the promoter region. In addition, constitutive overexpression of GmAKR1 in transgenic soybean hairy roots inhibited nodule development, which suggests that it plays a negative role in the regulation of nodule development. One of the Arabidopsis orthologues of GmAKR1 is the ARF-GAP domain 2 protein, which is a potential negative regulator of vesicle trafficking; therefore GmAKR1 may have a similar function in the roots and nodules of legume plants.

Seasonal changes of nitrogen fixation and growth characteristics of Melilotus suaveolens population under different light conditions were quantitatively analyzed during growting period. Height growth of M. suaveolens population was promoted after April and the shade (site 2) showed 10-20% increase of height growth in compared with that of sunny (site 1). Seasonal changes of biomass were in creased after March, the biomass at site 1 attained 78.5% that of site 2 in May. Chlorophyll content was maintained high value from March to April but, Chlorophyll content of leaf at site 1 was decreased 11.7% compared to that of site 2 in May. The nitrogen content of each organ of M. suaveolens showed higher value in March and then decreased, the high nitrogen contents of reproductive organ were achieved at the flowering stage at site 1. The root nodule of M. suaveolens population appeared in March and showed maximum value in early June and decreased remarkably after July, the amount of nodule formation of M. suaveolens at site 2 showed higher than that of site 1. The nitrogen fixation activity of root nodule of M. suaveolens initiated with shoot growth and showed maximum value in mid April, and attained second peak in early June and then decreased after July. The total nitrogen fixation of the plant showed higher value at site 2 than that of site 1. From the overall results, M. suaveolens showed increased growth under half-shady, well ventilated barren soil than fertile sunny site.

Background: Endodontic sealers or their toxic components may become inflamed and lead to delayed wound healing when in direct contact with periapical tissues over an extended period. Moreover, an overfilled sealer can directly interact with adjacent tissues and may cause immediate necrosis or further resorption. Therefore, the treatment outcome conceivably depends on the endodontic sealer's biocompatibility and osteogenic potential. This study aimed to evaluate the cell viability and osteogenic effects of four different sealers in osteoblastic cells. Methods: AH Plus (resin-based sealer), Pulp Canal Sealer EWT (zinc oxide-eugenol sealer), BioRoot RCS (calcium silicate-based sealer), and Well-Root ST (MTA-based calcium silicate sealer) were mixed strictly according to the manufacturer's instructions, and dilutions of sealer extracts (1/2, 1/5 and 1/10) were determined. Cell viability was measured using the water-soluble tetrazolium-8 (WST-8) assay. Differentiation was assessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralized nodule formation by Alizarin Red S staining. Results: The cell viability of the extracts derived from the sealers excluding Well-Root ST was concentration dependent, with sealer extracts having the least viability at a 1/2 dilution. At sealer extract dilution of 1/10, the test groups showed the same survival rate as that control group, with the exception of BioRoot RCS. Among all experimental groups, BioRoot RCS showed the highest cell viability after 48 hours. The ALP activity was significantly higher in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthemore, all four materials promoted ALP activity and mineralized nodule formation compared to the control at 1/10 dilutions. Conclusion: This is the first study to highlight the differences in biological activity of these four materials. These results suggest that the composition of root canal sealers appears to alter the form of biocompatibility and osteoblastic differentiation.

Seasonal changes of symbiotic nitrogen-fixation activity and growth characteristics of four different natural populations of kummerowia striata were quantitatively analyzed during the growing period. the nitrogen-fixation activity of root nodules attained the maximum rates of 148, 132, 102 and 100$\muM\;C_2H_4\;\cdot\;g\;fw\;nodule^{-1}\;\cdot\;hr^{-1}$, respectively for sunny, multibranched, shade and unibranched populations at the optimum growth conditions. and the seasonal changes showed fluctuations by environmental conditions such as light, temperature, nutrient contents, water stress and plant ages, etc. The multibranched plant showed the greater amount of leaf and root nodule biomass, and the higher nitrogenase activity than the unibranched plant. the optimum conditions of leaf chloropht11 and water content of each organ indicated the active growth and the maximum fresh biomass of 4 different populations were 1.92, 1.85, 0.97 and 0.56 g $fw\cdotplant^{-1}$ for shade multibranched, sunny and unibranched populations, respectively.

Starch gel electrophoresis was used to examine the banding pattern of Esterase isozyme in the leaf, root-nodule and seedling of four wild legume species, Trifolim repense, Glycine soja, Phaseolus nipponensis and Vigna uexillata. The number of band, enzyme activity and migrating rate of esterase isozyme varies depending on the species and tissues of legume plants. The isozyme banding pattern in the cotyledon and radicle of T. repense showed same pattern, however, the number of band were varible among the cotyledon of G. soja, P. nipponensis and V. vexzllata, respectively. Est-1 in the leaf of G. soja, V, vexillata. root-nodule of G. soja and seedling of V. vexillata expreesed the highest enzyme activity. The Est-1 showed the rapidest migrating rate among the isozymes.

본 연구는 아까시나무 유묘에서 뿌리혹 형성에 가장 적절한 배양토의 종류와 토양의 양료 수준을 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 상업용 상토, 완숙 혹은 미숙 퇴비, 유기질 비료, 산림용 고형비료, 화학비료 등의 토양 첨가물을 이용하여 질소와 인의 수준을 다양하게 조절한 후 포트에 아까시나무 종묘를 식재하여 3개월 간 온실에서 실험을 실시하여 초기 뿌리혹 형성에 적절한 토양 환경을 조사하였다. 피트모스, 질석, 지올라이트를 함유한 상업용 상토는 높은 보수력으로 인해 초기 활착과 건중량 생산에는 적절하였으나 무기 양료 중 질소(0.052%), 인(91 ppm)의 부족으로 인해 뿌리혹 형성에는 부적합하였다. 퇴비는 미숙 퇴비이건 완숙퇴비이건 구별 없이 뿌리혹 형성에 가장 유리했는데, 질소(0.08-0.21%)와 인(141-1,228 ppm)의 함량이 적절하였지만, 칼륨(0.14-1.58 cmol/kg)의 함량은 부족한 편이었다. 화학(복합)비료는 토양 내 질소(0.14-0.21%), 인(406-618 ppm), 칼륨(1.39-3.13 cmol/kg)의 함량을 적절한 수준으로 유지하여 초기 건중량 생산에는 지장을 주지 않았지만 뿌리혹 형성에는 부적절하였다. 산림용 고형비료는 뿌리혹 형성에 적합한 반면, 유기질 비료는 뿌리혹 형성에 적합하지 않았다. 배양토에는 적절한 수준의 질소(0.05-0.2%)와 인(100-600 ppm)이 함유되어 있을 경우에 초기 뿌리혹 형성이 제대로 이뤄졌다. 아까시나무 유묘의 경우 토양의 질소와 인 중에서 질소보다 인이 초기의 뿌리혹 형성을 더 촉진하는 것으로 판단되었다.
