A simple and reliable cryo technique using desiccation and slow freezing of winter dormant buds was employed for 238 core collection of mulberry germplasm collected from diverse geographical regions and maintained under tropical conditions in the ex situ field gene bank to develop long-term biodiversity conservation for ensuring sustainable utilization of these valuable resources. Desiccation and freezing tolerance of bud grafts and excised shoot apices in the axillary buds of different Morus species under in vivo and in vitro condition indicated species-specific variation and most of the wild Morus species were found sensitive. In vitro regeneration and cryopreservation($-196^{\circ}C$) protocols using differentiated bud meristem like axillary winter dormant buds were worked out for a wide range of Morus species, land races, wild and cultivated varieties. Successful cryopreservation of mulberry winter dormant buds of different accessions belonging to M. indica, M. alba, M. latifolia, M. cathayana, M. laevigata, M. nigra, M. australis, M. bombycis, M. sinensis, M multicaulis and M. rotundiloba was achieved. Among wild species Morus tiliaefolia, and M. serrata showed moderate recovery after cryopreservation. Survival rates did not alter after three years of cryopreservation of different Morus species. ISSR markers were used to ascertain the genetic stability of cryopreserved mulberry, which showed no difference detected among the plantlets regenerated from frozen apices in comparison to the non-frozen material.

배롱나무와 피라칸사의 내한성과 지역별 최저기온을 분석하여 동해에 대한 위험을 검증하고자 하였다. 저온 처리한 시료의 내한성은 전기전도도의 측정과 형성층의 갈변도 관찰로 평가하였다. 배롱나무는 $-17.1^{\circ}C$ 이하에서, 피라칸사는 $-18.9^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 동해 피해가 클 것으로 분석되었다. 지난 45년간 최저기온이 $-17.1^{\circ}C$ 이하로 하강된 횟수는 대전 총 7회 중 1975년도 이후에는 1회, 청주 총 55회, 수원 총 72회로 기록되고 있다. $-18.9^{\circ}C$ 이하로 기온이 하강된 횟수는 청주 45회, 수원 32회로 나타났으나, 1991년 이후에는 하강되지 않았다. 또한 위도가 높아질수록 최저기온 상승계수는 크게 나타났다. 따라서 중부지역에 식재된 배롱나무와 피라칸사는 동절기 간헐적으로 나타날 수 있는 기온 강하에 의한 부분적인 동해 피해가 예상되기 때문에 위험할 수 있으며, 최저기온의 상승 추세에 따라 동해 피해 위험은 점진적으로 감소될 것이다.

Lactobacillus acidophilus KFRI 233 (of human origin) exhibited a high tolerance to bile. The maximum cell yield was 6.6${\time}10^9 CFU$ per gram of whey in a 5.0% whey medium. Cell growth was improved with the addition of 0.5% thiotone and 0.25% calcium carbonate. Cell growth reached a maximum level of 5.4${\times}10^8$ CFU/ml at 20 h. Eighty-nine percent of the viable cells in the centrifuged concentrate survived freezing at $-70^{\circ}C$ and this frozen concentrate showed no reduction in the viable cell count after 30 days at $-70^{\circ}C$. Eight percent of the viable cells survived freeze-drying after the addition of 1 g/l sodium carbonate before harvesting by centrifuging and this freeze-dried concentrate showed only a slight reduction in the viable cell count after 30 days at $4^{\circ}C$.

래빗아이블루베리는 북부형과 남부형 하이부쉬 블루베리와 함께 전 세계적으로 가장 많이 재배되고 있는 블루베리의 한 품종군이다. 하이부쉬 블루베리에 비해 높은 토양적응성과 다수성의 장점을 가지고 있지만, 저온 저항성이 상대적으로 낮다는 단점 역시 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 래빗아이 블루베리의 품종별 꽃눈의 내동성 범위를 구명하고 그에 따른 재배안정지대를 설정하는데 두었다. 본 연구에 사용된 실험재료는 경남 남해에 소재한 국립원예특작 과학원 남해출장소 블루베리 유전자원 포장에서 1월 상순에 굵기와 꽃눈의 개수 등이 균일하도록 채취하였다. 결과지의 저온반응은 전해질 누출량을 통하여 조사하였으며, 꽃눈의 내동성은 절개한 후 씨방의 갈변율이 50%에 도달한 온도($LT_{50}$)를 경계로 구분하였다. 각 품종의 내동성을 바탕으로 재배안전지대설정은 1981~2010년까지 30년간의 극최저 기온 자료를 바탕으로 설정하였다. 래빗아이 블루베리 품종별 가지의 전해질 누출량은 온도가 낮을수록 증가하는 경향이었으며, $-5^{\circ}C$조건에서의 전해질 누출량은 'Brightwell'이 가장 낮았고, 'Bluegem'이 가장 많았다. 한편 'Brightblue', 'Brightwell', 'Climax', 'Delite', 'Gardenblue', 'Southland' 그리고 'Woodard' 품종들은 $-20^{\circ}C$ 처리에서 전해질 누출량이 증가하였다. 래빗아이 블루베리 품종별 꽃눈의 내동성($LT_{50}$)은 'Bluegem' 과 'Homebell' ($-13.3^{\circ}C$)이 가장 낮았고, 'Tifblue'($-25^{\circ}C$)가 가장 높았다. 'Bonita', Gardenblue', 'Brightblue' 그리고 'Southland는 $-15.0{\sim}-16.7^{\circ}C$ 범위 내에서 내동성을 나타냈으며, 'Delite', 'Brightwell', 'Austin' 그리고 'Climax'는 $-18.3^{\circ}C$에서, 'Bluebelle', 'Woodard' 그리고 'Powderblue'는 $-20^{\circ}C$범위 내에서 내동성을 나타냈다. 본 연구는 래빗아이 블루베리 내한성 영역을 6개 구역으로 분류하였으며, 'Tifblue'를 제외한 대부분 품종들의 재배안전 지대는 전남 및 경남지역과 그 이남지역 이었다. 한편 본 연구의 실험실조건의 결과물이기 때문에 재배현장(노지 및 시설)에서는 다양한 요인에 의해 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 보다 정밀한 안전지대 설정을 위하여 추가적인 연구가 필요하다 사료된다.

To investigate the physiological responses to naturally occurring winter freezing stress in creeping bentgrass, changes in carbohydrates were monitored during winter period. Turf quality and leaf growth was nearly parallel with temperature fluctuation. The concentration of glucose, fructose and sucrose in both shoot and root gradually increased from November to January, and then sharply decreased until April. Sucrose was the largest pool of soluble sugars. Fructan also slightly accumulated in both shoot and roots from November to February. Fructan hydrolysis in both organs was found to be much active between February to April. Shoot contained largely higher carbohydrate content in all compounds examined than roots did. Fructan was found to be a main carbohydrate storage form, showing the highest concentration (176.7 and 126.7 mg g-' DW for shoot and root in February). The depolymerization of fructan from February coincided with the high declines in mono- and disaccharide. These results suggest that the accumulation of non-structural carbohydrate until January could be associated with freezing tolerance, and the active decrease from February with shoot regrowth.

Overwintering plants should survive the various biotic and abiotic stresses that occur during winter. Previous studies indicated that active oxygen species are involved in freezing, dehydration, anoxia and pathogen infections. As the importance of the events that occur in the intercellular compartment became apparent in disease resistance, we examined the nature of intercellular antioxidant enzymes in order to access their possible involvement in the winter hardiness of barley. The levels of intercellular peroxidase, catalase, and SOD activities on the unit protein basis were 394, 18, and 9% of those of cellular activities, respectively. Major intercellular peroxidase isoforms consisted of four neutrals and four basic forms; whereas major cellular isoforms were two basic forms. Out of the two major catalase isoforms a higher molecular weight form was predominantly abundant in both cellular and intercellular compartments. Among the five major cellular SOD isoforms, three were also present in the intercellular compartment. The presence of substantial amounts of intercellular antioxidant enzymes in overwintering barley leaves may suggest the involvement of these enzymes in the tolerance mechanism to the various stresses that occur during winter.

Cold acclimation improves freezing tolerance in plants. In higher plants, many advances have been made toward identifying the signaling and regulatory pathways that direct the low-temperature stress response; however, similar insights have not yet been gained for simple nonvascular plants, such as bryophytes. To elucidate the pathways that regulate cold acclimation in bryophytes, we used two PCR-based differential screening techniques, cDNA amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) and suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), to isolate 510 ESTs that are differentially expressed during cold acclimation in Physcomitrella patens. We used realtime RT-PCR to further analyze expression of 29 of these transcripts during cold acclimation. Our results show that cold acclimation in the bryophyte Physcomitrella patens is not only largely similar to higher plants but also displays distinct differences, suggests significant alteration during the evolution of land plants.

Dehydrins (DHNs) compose a family of intrinsically unstructured proteins that have high water solubility and accumulate during late seed development at low temperature or in water-deficit conditions. They are believed to play a protective role in freezing and drought-tolerance in plants. A full-length cDNA encoding DHN (designated as ClDhn) was isolated from an oriental medicinal plant Codonopsis lanceolata, which has been used widely in Asia for its anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The full-length cDNA of ClDhn was 813 bp and contained a 477 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 159 amino acids. Deduced ClDhn protein had high similarities with other plant DHNs. RT-PCR analysis showed that different abiotic stresses such as salt, wounding, chilling and light, triggered a significant induction of ClDhn at different time points within 4-48 hrs post-treatment. This study revealed that ClDhn assisted C. lanceolata in becoming resistant to dehydration.

Cold stress is one of the most vulnerable environmental stresses that affect plant growth and crop yields. With the recent advancements in genetic approaches using Arabidopsis and other model systems, genes involved in cold-stress response have been identified and the key cold signaling factors have been characterized. Exposure to low-temperature stress triggers the activation of a set of genes known as cold regulatory (COR) genes. This activation process plays a crucial role in enhancing the resistance of plants to cold and freezing stress. The inducer of the C-repeatbinding factor (CBF) expression 1-CBF module (ICE1-CBF module) is a key cold signaling pathway regulator that enhances the expression of downstream COR genes; however, this signaling module in Panax ginseng remains elusive. Here, we identified cold-signaling-related genes, PgCBF1, PgCBF3, and PgICE1 and conducted functional genomic analysis with a heterologous system. We confirmed that the overexpression of cold- PgCBF3 in the cbf1/2/3 triple Arabidopsis mutant compensated for the cold stress-induced deficiency of COR15A and salt-stress tolerance. In addition, nuclearlocalized PgICE1 has evolutionarily conserved phosphorylation sites that are modulated by brassinsteroid insensitive 2 (PgBIN2) and sucrose non-fermenting 1 (SNF1)-related protein kinase 3 (PgSnRK3), with which it physically interacted in a yeast two-hybrid assay. Overall, our data reveal that the regulators identified in our study, PgICE1 and PgCBFs, are evolutionarily conserved in the P. ginseng genome and are functionally involved in cold and abiotic stress responses.
