카사바 (Manihot esculenta Crantz cv. MColl 22)의 마디절편을 제아틴 0.01%가 첨가된 MS 기본배지에서 2주간 현탁배양하여 경엽부 길이가 1.5∼2.5 cm로 생장된 유식물의 부정근을(1) 1∼l.5 cm길이만 남기고 짧게 전정, (2) 1∼2 mm 이내로 제거, (3)뿌리 발생부 전체를 절단한 후 마사토를 담은 유리병에 이식하여 비무균조건에서 순화생장시켰다. 그 결과 이식 7∼10일경부터 각 조건에서 새 뿌리가 발생되기 시작하여 6주 후에는 조건에 따라 73∼93%의 생존율을 나타냈다. 기내 발생 뿌리 가운데 손상 없이 토양에 이식된 것은 그대로 생존을 계속하여 유식물 생장에 도움을 주었으며, 제거된 부정근은 이식 후 신장이 중단되고 새로 뿌리가 발생되었다. 그러나 간혹 전정되고 남은 부분에 측근이 발생된 것이 관찰되었다. 각 조건에서 새로 발생된 기외 뿌리의 수와 길이 및 경엽부 길이와 마디 수에서는 서로 유의성 있는 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 생체중에서는 전정>제거>절단의 순으로 약간의 차이를 보였다. 미세증식된 카사바의 기내발생 부정근을 적절히 전정 또는 제거한 후 이식하여 순화시키는 것은, 작업을 간편하게 할 뿐만 아니라 유식물의 생존율이 높고 생장에도 지장이 거의 없으므로 경제적인 미세증식 방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD)를 과실에서 고발현시킨 형질전환 토마토 (서광과 꼬꼬)를 개발하였다. 카사바 배양세포에서 분리한 CuZnSOD (mSOD1)를 과실에 우세적으로 발현하는 ascorbate oxidase promoter (ASOp)를 이용하여 ASOp :: mSOD1/pBI101 벡터를 제작한 후 Agrobacterium 매개로 자엽 절편체를 형질전환하였다. Kanamycin 저항성 식물체를 기관발생 경로로 재분화시킨 후 Southern 분석으로 형질전환을 확인하였다. 서광과 꼬꼬 토마토의 형질전환체와 대조구 식물체의 과실을 성숙 단계별로 분류하여 단백질 함량과 SOD 비활성도 (units/mg protein)를 측정한 결과, 단백질 함량은 열매가 익은 단계로 갈수록 점점 감소하여 완전히 익은 단계에서 가장 낮았다. SOD 비활성도는 형질전환 토마토의 열매의 모든 단계에서 대조구보다 높았으며 완전히 성숙한 과실에서 가장 높았다. 성숙한 형질전환 서광과 꼬꼬 과실에서 SOD 비활성도는 비형질전환의 것보다 각각 약 1.6배와 약 2.2배 높았다. SOD isoenzyme gel 분석에서 도입한 mSOD1로 추정되는 CuZnSOD 밴드가 형질전환체에서 과실 성숙에 따라 강하게 발현되었다. 이상의 결과로서 ASO promoter에 의해 SOD 유전자가 토마토 과실에 특이적으로 발현됨이 확인되었다.

담배가루이(Bemisia tabaci)는 광식성 해충으로 토마토황화잎말림바이러스(Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus; TYLCV), 카사바갈색줄무늬병(Cassava Brown Streak Disease; CBSD)를 매개하는 해충이다. 담배가루이 방제를 위해 화학적 방제가 주로 시행되지만 저항성으로 인한 한계로 인해 종합적해충방제를 위한 고정정확도를 이용한 표본조사법(Fixed precision sampling plan)을 개발하였다. 표본추출은 토마토 식물이 50 cm 높이의 레일 위에 위치한 배지를 이용해 재배되고 있어 배지로부터 130 cm 이상(지상에서 180 cm 이상)을 상단, 70 cm~100 cm (지상에서 120 cm~150 cm)를 중단, 50 cm 이하(지상에서 100 cm 이하)를 하단으로 나누어 각 위치별 토마토 7엽의 잎 뒷면에서 관찰된 담배가루이 노숙 유충 마리 수를 조사하였다. 담배가루이 노숙유충은 이동성이 거의 없어 알에서 우화한 뒤 고착화하여 용과 성충 단계를 거치기 때문에 중단, 하단에 밀도가 높았다. 공간분포분석은 Taylor's power law (TPL)를 이용하여 도출된 TPL의 회귀계수를 통해 분석하였고, TPL 계수의 차이는 공분산분석(ANCOVA)하여 차이가 없어 자료를 통합(pooling)하여 계산된 새로운 TPL 계수를 이용하여 표본추출정지선과 방제의사결정법을 개발하였다. 개발된 표본추출법의 적합성을 판단하기 위해 분석에 사용하지 않은 독립된 자료를 이용하여 Resampling Validation for Sampling Plan (RVSP) 프로그램으로 평가하였다.

Lao-native beef cattle are primarily Bos indicus, and most ruminant production in Laos is still dominated by small-scale or backyard producers that use traditional practices, resulting in low productivity. The cattle herd size in Laos has grown by an average of 5 percent per year from 1.52 million in 2010/11 to 1.81 million in 2014/15. In 2016, the Laos cattle population was 1.88 million head, with smallholder farmers representing 98% of production despite efforts by the Laos government to develop commercial-scale farms. There were 170 commercial cattle farms in 2016, with 56 percent in the Central region of Laos. Although, overall, ruminant meat production has tended to increase but with consumption at 7.29 kg/capita/yr in 2013, it remains insufficient to meet demand. Crop residues and agro-industrial by-products used in ruminant diets include rice straw, cassava pulp and wet brewers' grains as roughage, energy and protein sources, respectively. The Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China in 2013 will connect China closely with all countries in Southeast Asia. This initiative will change landlocked Laos to land linked for investors who will benefit from convenient transport at a lower cost, promoting agricultural production in Laos.

Cyanogenic glycosides are HCN-producing phytotoxins; HCN is a powerful and a rapidly acting poison. It is not difficult to find plants containing these compounds in the food supply and/or in medicinal herb collections. The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of total cyanide in nine genera (Dolichos, Ginkgo, Hordeum, Linum, Phaseolus, Prunus, Phyllostachys, Phytolacca, and Portulaca) of edible plants and the effect of the processing on cyanide concentration. Total cyanide content was measured by ion chromatography following acid hydrolysis and distillation. Kernels of Prunus genus are used medicinally, but they possess the highest level of total cyanide of up to 2259.81 $CN^-$/g dry weight. Trace amounts of cyanogenic compounds were detected in foodstuffs such as mungbeans and bamboo shoots. Currently, except for the WHO guideline for cassava, there is no global standard for the allowed amount of cyanogenic compounds in foodstuffs. However, our data emphasize the need for the guidelines if plants containing cyanogenic glycosidesare to be developed as dietary supplements.

The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) is the sixth-most important crop in the world following rice, wheat, potato, maize, and cassava. Four varieties ('Beniharuka', 'Annobeni', 'Pungwonmi', 'Hogammi') and their Japanese cultivars are broadly distributed in South Korea. In the Korean marketplace, sweet potatoes are classified by color and shape, not by variety, making it necessary to differentiate varieties for uniform production and consumption. In this study, molecular markers were developed to distinguish the four varieties of sweet potato using SNPs and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) analysis via a tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR. The results revealed that three variety-specific fragments (164 bp and 241 bp of SNP 04-27457768 and 292 bp of SNP 03-16195623) were amplified in the 'Beniharuka', 'Pungwonmi', and 'Annobeni' sweet potato varieties. There were instances where some varieties produced three bands within the gel electrophoresis, indicating heterozygosity at the given SNPs loci. DNA sequencing analysis also confirmed the results of electrophoresis at the SNPs loci. Overall, these molecular markers would provide a useful, rapid, and, simple evaluation method for the Korean sweet potato marketplace, where the mixing of varieties is a serious issue.

This paper examines some properties of concrete, such as strength, oxygen permeability and sorptivity using starch [cassava (CA) and maize (MS)] as admixtures. Concrete cubes containing different percentages of the CA and MS by weight of cement (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 %) were cast. Compressive strength tests were carried out after 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 56, 90, 180, 270 and 365 days of curing. Oxygen permeability and sorptivity tests were carried out on another set of concrete specimens with the same percentages of starch at 7, 28, 90, 180, 270 and 365 days. Oxygen permeability and sorptivity tests data obtained were subjected to Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance by ranks. The strength increase after 1 year over the control for CA 0.5 and CA 1.0 are 2.7 and 3.8 % respectively, while MS 0.5 and MS 1.0 gave 1.5 % increase over control. These results showed a decrease in oxygen permeability and rates of sorptivity, with concretes containing starch as admixtures giving better performance than the control concretes.

A newly-isolated thermophilic strain of the zygomycete fungus Rhizomucor pusillus 13.36 produced highly active dextrinogenic and saccharogenic enzymes. Cassava pulp was a good alternative substrate for amylase production. Dextrinogenic and saccharogenic amylases exhibited optimum activities at a pH of 4.0-4.5 and 5.0 respectively and at a temperature of $75^{\circ}C$. The enzymes were highly thermostable, with no detectable loss of saccharogenic or dextrinogenic activity after 1 hand 6 h at $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The saccharogenic activity was inhibited by $Ca^{2+}$ while the dextrinogenic was indifferent to this ion. Both activities were inhibited by $Fe^{2+}\;and\;Cu^{2+}$ Hydrolysis of soluble starch by the crude enzyme yielded $66\%$ glucose, $19.5\%$ maltose, $7.7\%$ maltotriose and $6.6\%$ oligosaccharides.

The thermophilic fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus 179-5 produced large quantities of a glucosidase which preferentially hydrolyzed maltose over starch. Enzyme production was high in submerged fermentation, with a maximal activity of 30 U/ml after 336 h of fermentation. In solid-state fermentation, the activity of the enzyme was 22 U/ml at 144 h in medium containing wheat bran and 5.8 U/ml at 48 h when cassava pulp was used as the culture medium. The enzyme was specific for maltose, very slowly hydrolyzed starch, dextrins (2-7G) and the synthetic substrate (${\alpha}$-PNPG), and did not hydrolyze sucrose. These properties suggest that the enzyme is a type II ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. The optimum temperature of the enzyme was $70^{\circ}C$. In addition, the enzyme was highly thermostable (100% stability for 10 h at $60^{\circ}C$ and a half-life of 15 min at $80^{\circ}C$), and stable within a wide pH range.

The demand for energy in Thailand has been continually increasing as the economic and social country grows. Approximately 60% of Thailand's primary energy is imported, mostly petroleum products. In 2008 Thailand's total energy consumption was 80,971 ktoe and the net price of energy imported was up to 1,161 billion Baht which is equivalent to 12.8% of GDP at the current price. The energy consumption or energy demand has been growing at an annual compounded growth rate of 6.42% and the peak electric power demand and electricity consumption was recorded at 22,568 MW and 148,264 GWh and grew at a rate of 7.0% and 7.5% per annum during the period from 1989 to 2008. The gross agriculture production in 2008 was recorded at 135.4 Mt which represents agriculture residue for energy at 65.73 Mt, which is equivalent to energy potential of about 561.64 PJ or 13,292 ktoe an increase in average of 5.59% and 5.44% per year respectively. The agricultural residues can converted to 15,600 GWh/year or 1,780 MW of power capacity. So, if government sector plan to install small biomass gasification for electricity generation 200 kW for Community. The residue agricultural is available for 8,900 plants nationwide. The small biomass power generation for electricity generation not only to reduce the energy imports, it also makes the job and income for people in rural areas as well. This paper's aim is to report the energy situation in Thailand and has studied 5 main agricultural products with high residue energy potential namely sugarcane, paddy, oil palm, cassava, and maize appropriate for small electricity production. These agricultural products can be found planted in many rural areas throughout Thailand. Finally, discuss the situation, methods and policies which the government uses to promote small private power producers supplying electricity into the grid.
