고구마 생산체계의 탄소성적을 평가하기 위하여 LCI database 구축하고 전과정 영향평가를 통한 잠재적 환경영향을 평가하였다. 인벤토리 목록구축을 위한 자료 수집 결과 고구마의 투입물 중 유기질비료의 투입비가 71% 매우 높았고, 화학비료는 22%, 투입되는 에너지의 6%의 순이었다. 유기질 비료 투입량은 3.26E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ sweetpotato, 무기질비료는 1.02E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ sweetpotato, 고구마를 재배할 때 발생되는 직접배출 ($CO_2$, $CH_3$, $N_2O$)은 2.47E-02 kg $kg^{-1}$ sweetpotato였다. 탄소성적은 4.05E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ sweetpotato이며, $CO_2$의 배출량이 2.88E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ sweetpotato로 전체 온실가스배출 중 71%를 점유하였고, $CH_4$ 18%, $N_2O$가 11%였다. 이들의 공정별 기여도 분석결과 $CO_2$는 비료생산공정과 고구마생산에서 주로 발생하였고, 기여도는 약 32%, 28%였다. $N_2O$는 고구마를 재배할 때 가장 많이 발생되었고, 기여도는 약 90%였다. 전과정 영향평가 결과 비료생산은 모든 영향범주에서 가장 큰 기여도를 나타내었다. GWP (지구온난화범주)에서 고구마재배에 의한 기여가 약 12% 정도였으며, 비료생산은 약 90%였다. GWP와 POCP (광화학산화물생성) 범주의 특성화 값은 각각 4.05E-01 $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$, 5.08E-05 kg $C_2H_4$-eq. $kg^{-1}$이었다.

As cultured plant cells can grow in high oxidative stress conditions, they form an excellent system to study antioxidant mechanisms and the mass production of antioxidants. Oxidative stress is a major cause of damage in plants exposed to various types of environmental stress, including heavy metals, such as cadmium (Cd). Heavy metal accumulation can interfere with many cell functions and plant growth. To evaluate the contribution of oxidative stress to Cd-induced toxicity, cultured sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) cells were treated with increasing concentrations of Cd (0, 10, 25, and 50 μM) and cultured further. Cell growth was significantly inhibited by 25 and 50 μM of Cd, and the total protein content increased with 50 μM of Cd. Additionally, the activity of peroxidase (POD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), antioxidant enzymes that remove hydrogen peroxide (a reactive oxygen species), increased in the cells after treatment with 50 μM of Cd. The expression analysis of POD, APX, and peroxiredoxin (PRX) isolated from sweetpotato cultured cells in a previous study revealed the differential expression of POD in response to Cd. In this study, the expression levels of several acidic POD (swpa2, swpa3, and swpa4) and basal POD (swpb1, swpb2, and swpb3) genes were increased in Cd-treated cultured cells. These results indicate that Cd-mediated oxidative stress is closely linked to improved POD-mediated antioxidant defense capacity in sweetpotato suspension-cultured cells.

Photoautotrophic micropropagation systems do not include sugar in the culture media. This characteristic provides advantages to scale up the micropropagation systems comparing photomixotrophic micropropagation systems. A closed, large-scale photoautotrophic micro-propagation for transplant production system has been developed at Chiba University, Japan. New concepts and technologies were adapted to produce high quality transplants at minimum usage of resources, and as scheduled. Newly developed software for production management was used to enhance the efficiency of the transplant production system. Currently, virus-free transplants of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) are vegetatively propagated and produced under sterilized conditions in this system. This system can also be used for production of transplants of any other species including horticultural and woody plants with a minimum of modification.

Sweetpotato fields in Korea are highly infected with virus and virus like diseases that greatly diminish both yield and quality as indicated by field observations and laboratory tests. In order to solve this problem, there is an urgent need to produce and mass propagate virus-free planting materials for distribution to the farmers. These experiments were conducted, firstly, to determine the most appropriate culture media, nutrient solution, and cutting intervals to maintain growth and vigor of tissue cultured plantleta as mother plants for propagation in insect-proof greenhouse. And as a labor saving method, the production efficiency of plug trays for rapid propagation of stem cuttings as a source of planting materials was likewise evaluated. Results showed that plants grown in medium B supplied with 0.5 and 1.0 strength of MS nutrients had high growth rate, and 20-day cutting interval was the best. 72-plug tray was better than 128-plug. Secondly, it was to develop a technique for the production of first-generation seed roots using hydroponics cultivation system. The yield of virus-free plants propagated in the non-insect proof and open-field cultivation was 2,402 kg/10a, 6% higher than those in the insect-proof cultivation, and the rate of virus re-infection was 18% higher compared to 3.3% with insect-proof cultivation. Lastly, it was to investigate the growth performance of virus free plants in farmers' field. Differences were existed in the yield depending on the variety used, but virus free plants showed an increase of $6{\sim}24%$ over virus infected plants.

In mass production of seed-potato plantlets, the processes for in vitro propagation and ex vitro acclimatization with a high cost should be improved by a culture system with environmental control using scaled-up culture vessels. The experiment was conducted to design a hydroponic culture system for enhancement of growth and development of seed-potato (Solanum tuberosum) plantlets cultured under photoautotrophic (without sugar in culture medium) conditions with controlled light intensity and ventilation rate. The culture system was consisted of scaled-up culture vessels, ventilation pipes, a multi-cell tray and an environmental control system (ECS) for optimum controlling in temperature, light intensity, ventilation rate, and culture-medium supply. Growth and development of the plantlets was significantly increased under the ECS compared with a conventional culture system (CCS) of photomixotrophic culture (with sugar in culture medium) using small scale vessels. For 21 days, leaf area of the plantlets was expanded more than 2 times, and number of internodes also approximately 4 times greate. under the ECS. In addition, the photoautotrophic growth in sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) and chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) plantlets was greater more than 2 times compared with the CCS.
