점박이응애는 전 세계적으로 농업과 원예 분야에 경제적 손실을 일으키는 중요한 해충으로 많은 살비제에 대해 저항성이 발달하여 방제에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 2000년 8월 충남 부여의 장미 재배지에서 채집한 점박이응애가 etoxazole에 대해 3,700배의 저항성을 나타내었다. 이 집단을 실내에서 11년 동안 etoxazole로 500회 이상 도태하여 5,000,000배 이상의 저항성 계통을 얻었다. Etoxazole 저항성은 모계유전 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 이들 etoxazole 저항성이 모계유전을 하는 미토콘드리아 유전자내 점 돌연변이와 관련이 있는지를 조사하였다. Etoxazole 저항성 계통과 감수성 계통의 CYTB, COX1, COX2, COX3, ND1, ND2, ND3, ND4, ND5, 그리고 ND6의 유전자 서열을 비교한 결과 저항성 계통에서의 점 돌연변이는 발견할 수 없었다.

울릉도에만 한정 분포하는 회솔나무(Taxus cuspidata var. latifolia)의 분류학적 위치를 파악하기 위해 근연종인 주목(T. cuspidata var. cuspidata), 설악눈주목(T. caespitosa), 일본에 분포하는 T. cuspidata var. nana 4분류군을 대상으로 외부형태학적 연구와 DNA 바코딩 연구를 수행하였다. 회솔나무는 여러 학자들에 의해 주목의 이명으로 처리되거나 주목의 변종으로 처리되었던 분류군으로 분류학적 위치에 대한 이견이 많은 분류군이다. 이번 연구를 통해 회솔나무는 외부형태학적으로 근연종에 비해 원줄기는 곧고, 잎의 길이와 폭은 1.4배 이상 길고 종자는 가종피 바깥으로 돌출되는 특징으로 뚜렷이 구별되었다. DNA 바코딩 연구를 통해 matK, rbcL, trnL-trnF(trnL intron 포함) 구간의 염기서열을 비교한 결과 회솔나무는 유럽주목인 Taxus baccata와는 별개의 분계조를 형성하고 주목과 하나의 분계조를 형성하며 100% 동일한 염기서열을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 한국 특산종인 설악눈주목은 외부형태학적으로 원줄기가 여러 개 나오며 옆으로 기고 잎의 길이와 폭은 주목에 비해 0.8-0.9배 작은 특징으로 뚜렷이 구별되지만, DNA 바코딩 연구 결과 주목과 100% 동일한 염기서열 서열을 가지며 하나의 분계조를 형성했다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 울릉도에 한정 분포하며 근연종에 비해 뚜렷한 형태학적 차이를 보이는 회솔나무는 T. cuspidata의 변종인 T. cuspidata var. latifolia로 인정하는 것이 타당한 것으로 판단된다.

참가리비($Patinopecten$ $yessoensis$) 60개체를 채집하여 유전적 다양성과 집단구조를 조사하였다. 임의 유전 다형성 DNA (RAPD)로 109개 유전자형과 79개 다형성 좌위(72.8%)를 발견하였다. 전체 유전적 다양도($H_T$)와 집단내 변이($H_S$)는 각각 0.254와 0.178였다. 유전자 좌위에 근거하여 집단 간 분화 정도($G_{ST}$)는 0.299였다. 이는 전체변이의 약 70.1%가 집단 내에 존재하고 있음을 시사한다. 참가리비 세 나라 집단에서 한 집단에 국한되는 대립유전자 좌위와 한 개체에만 발현된 밴드가 발견되었다. RAPD 마커는 한국, 중국, 일본에 분포하는 참가리비를 구분하는데 매우 효과적이었다. 또한 참가리비의 집단 내, 집단 간 유전적 다양성에 대한 통찰은 동물 유전자원의 수진 전략과 양식에 유익할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: This study investigated the anti-osteoarthritic effects of Kyejiinsam-tang (hereinafter referred to KIT) on the monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis rats. Methods: Anti-oxidative effects of KIT were measured by scavenging activities of DPPH, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO). Scavenging activities of anti-oxidation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells were also measured for inhibitory effects against the production of inflammatory mediators (tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, interleukin-$1{\beta}$, interleukin-6). Osteoarthritis was induced in rats by injecting MIA in the knee joint. Rats were divided into a total of 4 groups (n=6). The normal group were not treated at all without inducing osteoarthritis whereas the control group were induced for osteoarthritis by MIA and oral medicated physiological saline per day. The positive comparison group was injected with MIA and after 7 days, 2 mg/kg of Indomethacin. The experimental group was injected with MIA and after 7 days was medicated with 34 mg/kg of KIT. Indomethacin and KIT were orally-medicated for each substance a total of 4 weeks, once per day. Weight-bearing on hind legs was measured every week after MIA injection. At the end of the experiment (5 weeks after MIA injection), micro CT (computed tomography)-arthrography and histopathological examinations on the articular structures of knee joint were performed. The effect on inflammatory cytokines and immunological cells in synovial fluid was measured. Volume of cartilage was measured by micro CT-arthrography. Injury to synovial tissue was measured by H & E (hematoxylin and eosin), Safranin-O immunofluorescence. Results: 1. Cytotoxicity against hFCs was insignificant. 2. KIT showed the potent full term for DPPH. 1. NO was significantly reduced by KIT (at 100, $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) and ROS was also reduced, but not significantly, by KIT (at $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$). 2. IL-6 and IL-$1{\beta}$ were significantly reduced by KIT (at 100, $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) and TNF-${\alpha}$ was also reduced, but not significantly, by KIT (at $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$). 1. In hind legs weight-bearing measurement, level of weight increased. 2. Functions of liver and kidney were not affected. 3. IL-$1{\beta}$ was significantly reduced and TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 were also reduced but not significantly. 4. PGE2 (prostaglandin E2), LTB4 (leukotriene B4) were significantly reduced in the KIT group. 5. MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase-9), TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1) and Osteocalcin were significantly reduced in the KIT group. 6. Destruction of cartilage on micro CT arthrography was reduced but had no significant differences. 7. Histopathologically, injury to synovial membrane of the KIT group was decreased and proteoglycan content of KIT group was increased. Conclusions: According to this study, Kyejiinsam-tang has inhibiting effect on the progression of arthritis in MIA-induced osteoarthritis rat. Kyejiinsam-tang has anti-oxidants and anti-inflammation effects, and is related to inhibiting the activity of inflammatory cytokine and injury of volume in cartilage.

Prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H) plays a central role in collagen synthesis by catalyzing the hydroxylation of the proline residue in the X-Pro-Gly amino acid sequence, and controls the biosynthesis of collagen that influences overall meat quality. In order to verify expression level of the catalytic ${\alpha}$ subunit of P4H, a 2.7 kb clone of the ${\alpha}$ subunit gene for P4H was selected from a cDNA library prepared from the muscular tissue of Sancheong berkshire pigs, and the whole gene sequence was determined. As expression level of the ${\alpha}$ subunit of P4H differed between tissues of pigs, we intended to assess more precisely the level of ${\alpha}$-subunit expression between tissues of Sancheong Berkshire pigs by using RT-PCR. Muscular and adipose tissues were taken from each pig grouped by growth stage (weighing 60, 80, and 110 kg) of Yorkshire and Sancheong Berkshire pigs, and the expression levels of the ${\alpha}$-subunit of P4H were examined. Since there were significant differences in the expression level with respect to variation in growth stage (p<0.01), an attempt was made to identify any influences of pig species and tissue variation. The muscular and adipose tissues of pigs weighing 110 kg showed higher expression levels than pigs weighing 60 kg and 80 kg. In general, significantly higher expression levels were found in muscular than in adipose tissue. The expression levels in Sancheong Berkshire were significantly higher than in Yorkshire pigs (p<0.01 or p<0.05). Since expression level of the ${\alpha}$-subunit of P4H affects the activity of P4H and is connected to the biosynthesis of collagen and increased collagen can improve meat texture, this finding may explain why meat quality of the Sancheong Berkshire pig is acclaimed in Korea. Given the higher expression levels of the ${\alpha}$-subunit gene in adipose than in muscular tissue, and also in the heavier pigs, more intensive studies are required to assess the correlation between expression level of the ${\alpha}$ subunit gene and overall meat quality.

본 연구는 전남 광양시 백운산의 조릿대 개화지에서 외적 환경인자가 개화원인으로 작용하는가를 조사했다. 이를 토대로 조릿대의 개화원인, 개화양식 및 생활사 전략을 고찰했다. 조릿대 개화지와 비개화지 사이의 토양 물리적 조건 광량 차이는 없었다. 2014~17년 사이에 조릿대가 개화했던 한국과 일본 개화지의 강수량 기온은 평년치(과거 30년)와 다른 특이점을 찾을 수 없었다. 또한 대면적으로 조릿대가 꽃을 피운 후에 대부분 죽었으나 일부 조릿대 간이 다시 발생하기도 하고 일부는 죽지 않았다. 즉, 조릿대는 외적 환경인자와 상관없이 일제히 개화했으며, 대부분의 조릿대 간은 죽지만 일부는 살아남았다. 이는 조릿대 개화원인은 외적 환경인자 영향보다 생물시계에 따라 주기적으로 발현하는 특정 유전자(일명, 유전자 시계)로 촉발된다고 본다. 한편, 멀리 떨어져 있는 조릿대 개체와 동조해 꽃을 대규모로 피우며, 소규모 단독으로 여러 번 개화하기도 한다. 이것은 평생 한 번 개화하는 조릿대의 유성번식 실패 리스크를 분산하기 위한 일종의 보험시스템이라고 판단된다. 열대성 대나무 조릿대류가 온대로 분포를 넓히면서 환경의 불확실성 증가에 따른 유성번식의 최적화를 위해 장주기 단개화성이 강화된 것으로 추정된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Isoflavones are widely believed to be beneficial to human health, in relation to their antioxidant potentials. Exercise can cause an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. This study was conducted in order to investigate the ability of isoflavones in amelioration of oxidative stress induced by exercise. MATERIALS/METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of four groups: isoflavone-free with no exercise (CON-sd), isoflavone-free with exercise (CON-ex), isoflavone-supplemented with no exercise (ISF-sd), and isoflavone-supplemented with exercise (ISF-ex). Animals exercised on the treadmill for 30 minutes per day, five days per week. TBARS as a marker of oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme activity, including SOD, GSH-px, and catalase were determined in liver tissue. Serum lipid profile was also examined. RESULTS: A significant effect of isoflavone alone was observed on abdominal fat pad mass. ISF-ex had significantly less abdominal fat pad than CON-ex. Both exercise and isoflavone treatment had significant effects on lowering plasma triglyceride (TG), thus, the ISF-ex group had a significantly lower TG level than the CON-sd group, by 30.9%. However, no differences were observed in plasma cholesterol, HDL-C, and cholesterol/HDL-C ratio. Exercise, isoflavone, and exercise-isoflavone interaction effects were significant on thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (P = 0.001, 0.002, and 0.005, respectively). The CON-ex group showed a higher TBARS level than the other three groups. By contrast, in the ISF-ex group, TBARS was restored to the level of the ISF-sd or CON-sd group. Isoflavone had a significant effect on superoxide dismutase (SOD) (P = 0.022) and catalase activities (P = 0.049). Significantly higher SOD and catalase activities were observed in ISF-ex than CON-ex. SOD and catalase activities showed an inverse pattern of TBARS. Taken together, isoflavones increased the activities of SOD and catalase with concomitant decreases in TBARS, indicative of decreased oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS: Isoflavone supplementation enhances antioxidant action with attenuation of exercise-induced oxidative stress, as measured by decreases in TBARS, and inhibits body fat accumulation and plasma TG increase. Antioxidative effects ascribed to isoflavones may be partially exerted via enhancement of antioxidant enzyme activities.

A series of experiment was carried out to study on the production of disease-free seed potatoes at the Alpine Experiment Station from 1960 to 1968, which initiated a study of comparison on degeneration of plain warm region and high altitude products and the effect of latent potato virus X (PVX) and potato leaf roll virus(PLRV) on degeneration. Particular observations were made on some aspect of the nature of potato virus disease and its control such as concentrations of PVX, range of host plants, physical properties such as concentrations of PYX, range of host plants, physical properties and carrying effect of insects, by investigating 9 different areas of the main potato producing regions (Kimhae, Taegu, Choongju, Taejoen, Suwon, Kwangju, Chonju, Cheju and Chinju). Highly purified anti-serum was separated and tested for control of the virus disease and also various method of prevention and control of PLRV were observed, using cultivation of sprouted seed tubers, early harvesting method, and systemic chemicals. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. Potato yield in the plain region decreased by 32.8~66.3% in the first year cultivation of seed potatoes from colder region, and the rate of virus infection was 92.9 to 95.4%. 2. Plants of three families including, 20 species were susceptible to the PVX, and among the plants Salvia officinalis of a habits only was the carrier while the symptom of Digitalis purpurea of Screphulariaceae was masked. Necrosis and ring spot was occurred in most pJants of the Solanaceae and ring spot symptom also was observed in Nicotiana tabacum L. var. White Burley and in N. glutinosa. 3. The 8$C_2$ strain of virus had the following physical properties; thermal inactivation point, 68-$72^{\circ}C$ : dilution inactivation point, above 1, 000, 000 dilution: ageing in vitro, 240-360 days: and ageing in dry plant tissue, 30 days. 4. Myzus persicae and Oxya spp. did not transmit the 8$C_2$ strain of potato virus. 5. Virus was purified through the ammonium sulphate isolating method, and higher titer value, 1/2048 was obtained through anti-serum test. 6. Inhibition Chenopodiacae on the virus infection of potato was remarkable, and inhibition of local lesion host also was observed. 7, By earlier planting of sprouted seed tubers, growth period could be prolonged by 10 to 12 days. 8. Earlier harvest decreased much the rate of virus infection of seed potatoes. 9. According to the results of aphid control trial using systemic soil insecticides at Kangnung and Taekwanlyung, PSP 204, Disyston and Thimet was effective to aphid control. In particular, control effect of twice treatments of PSP 204 was great. 10. Treatmental effect of those chemicals lasted about 60-70 days. However, single foliar application of emulsified chemicals was not effective to potato virus control. 11. The effect of PSP 204, Disyston, and Thimet on the control of potato leaf roll virus was great, particularly in the case of two treatments of PSP 204, at Kangnung as well as at Taekwanlyung. Higher negative correlationship between the control effect of potato leaf roll virus and potato yield was observed showing the value r=-0.85 at Kangnung, and r=-0.87 at Taekwanlyung. 12. Differences in the control effects among PSP 204, Disyston, and Thimet was not noticed.
