This study was carried out to compare growth and yield performance for soil conditions at the Maize Genetics and Breeding Lab. in Chungnam National University. The waxy hybrid corn in the drained soil of paddy field showed higher fresh yield per 10a and 100-kernel weight per plant than control. The average dry yield of drained and drainless soil were 804kg/10a and 498kg/10a compared with a control (751kg/10a), respectively. The waxy hybrid corn in the drained soil also had better good stand and stay green characteristics than drainless soil condition, and showed moderately resistance to water stress and weed. Vegetational feature of weeds was characterized as the prevalence of Acalypha auatralis, Echinochloa crus-galli, Persicaria hydrpopiper in drained paddy soil and Persicaria hydrpopiper, Acalypha auatralis, Echinochloa crus-galli in drainless paddy soil, and Echinochloa crus-galli, Acalypha auatralis in upland soil.

The fresh ginseng roots were extracted in aqueous methanol (MeOH), and the obtained extracts were partitioned using ethyl acetate (EtOA), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water, successively. The repeated silica gel column chromatography for n-BuOH fraction afforded a purified ginsenoside $Rg_1$. The physico-chemical, spectroscopic and chromatographic data of ginsenoside $Rg_1$, such as crystallization characteristics, melting point, specific rotation, infrared spectrometry (IR) data, fast atom bombardment/mass spectrometry (FAB/MS) data, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data, retention factor (Rf) in thin layer chromatography (TLC) experiment, and retention time (r.t.) in HPLC analysis, were measured and compared with those reported in literatures. Especially, the previous literatures reported different data for ginsenoside $Rg_1$ in the $^{1}H-$ and $^{13}C$-NMR experiments. This paper gives the exactly assigned NMR data through 2D-NMR experiments, such as $^{1}H-^{1}H$ correlation spectroscopy (COSY), hetero nuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC), and hetero nuclear multiple bond connectivity (HMBC).

Heavy metals at toxic levels have the capability to interact with several vital cellular biomolecules such as nuclear proteins and DNA, leading to oxidative stress in plants. The present study was performed to explore the metal tolerance mechanism in Sorghum seedling. Morpho-physiological and metal ions uptake changes were observed prominently in the seedlings when the plants were subjected to different concentrations of $CuSO_4$ and $CdCl_2$. The observed morphological changes revealed that the plants treated with Cu and Cd displayed dramatically altered shoot lengths, fresh weights, and relative water content. In addition, the concentration of Cu and Cd was markedly increased by treatment with Cu and Cd, and the amount of interacting ions taken up by the shoots and roots was significantly and directly correlated with the applied level of Cu and Cd. Using the 2-DE method, a total of 24 and 21 differentially expressed protein spots from sorghum leaves and roots respectively, 33 protein spots from sorghum leaves under Cd stress were analyzed using MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. However, the over-expression of GAPDH plays a significant role in assisting Sorghum bicolor to attenuate the adverse effects of oxidative stress caused by Cu, and the proteins involved in resistance to stress helped the sorghum plants to tolerate high levels of Cu. Significant changes were absorbed in the levels of proteins known to be involved in carbohydrate metabolism, transcriptional regulation, translation and stress responses. In addition, the up-regulation of glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P450 may play a significant role in Cd-related toxicity and stress responses. The results obtained from the present study may provide insights into the tolerance mechanism of seedling leaves and roots in Sorghum under heavy metal stress.

Cadmium (Cd) is of particular concern because of its widespread occurrence and high toxicity and may cause serious morpho-physiological and molecular abnormalities in in plants. The present study was performed to explore Cd-induced morpho-physiological alterations and their potentiality associated mechanisms in Sorghum bicolor leaves at the protein level. Ten-day-old sorghum seedlings were exposed to different concentrations (0, 100, and $150{\mu}M$) of $CdCl_2$, and different morpho-physiological responses were recorded. The effects of Cd exposure on protein expression patterns in S. bicolor were investigated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) in samples derived from the leaves of both control and Cd-treated seedlings. The observed morphological changes revealed that the plants treated with Cd displayed dramatically altered shoot lengths, fresh weights, and relative water content. In addition, the concentration of Cd was markedly increased by treatment with Cd, and the amount of Cd taken up by the shoots was significantly and directly correlated with the applied level of Cd. Using the 2-DE method, a total of 33 differentially expressed protein spots were analyzed using MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. Of these, treatment with Cd resulted in significant increases in 15 proteins and decreases in 18 proteins. Significant changes were absorbed in the levels of proteins known to be involved in carbohydrate metabolism, transcriptional regulation, translation and stress responses. Proteomic results revealed that Cd stress had an inhibitory effect on carbon fixation, ATP production and the regulation of protein synthesis. In addition, the up-regulation of glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P450 may play a significant role in Cd-related toxicity and stress responses. Our study provides insights into the integrated molecular mechanisms involved in response to Cd and the effects of Cd on the growth and physiological characteristics of sorghum seedlings. The upregulation of these stress-related genes may be candidates for further research and use in genetic manipulation of sorghum tolerance to Cd stress.

The aim of this study is to provide a fundamental data which can be applied to management conservation, and restoration of coastal sand dune vegetation by determining the classification and distribution of community, and ecological characteristics of the habitat. This research was performed by the Braun-Blanquet's method. The coastal sand dune vegetation of Uido (I.) was composed with 9 communities as follows : Vitex rotundifolia community, Zoysia macrostachya community, Carex kobomugi community, Iachaemum anthephoroides community, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii community, Carex pumila community, Calystegia soldanella community Messerschmidia sibirica community and Pinus thunbergii community, the evergreen needle-leaved forest. The constancy degree showed high in Calystegia soldanella (77%), Vitex rotundifolia (74%), Carex kobomugi (66%), Zoysia macrostachya (50%) and Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii (47%). However the highest constancy degree Calystegia soldanella has, it turned out to have low net contribution degree (NCD) in each community. In terms of the distribution and growth feature of the composition species in the coastal sand dune, Vitex rotundifolia, Carex kobomuri and Zoysia macrostachya were widely distributed from unstable sand dune to stable one but Iachaemum anthephoroides and Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii were mainly found at the stable sand dune. Carex kobomugi was especially dominant at the unstable sand dune where the sand continued to be deposited. On the other hand, Carer pumila and Messerschmidia sibirica showed regional distributions around fresh water.

As sprout vegetables of interest growing, its maintaining the quality of the technology was needed to solve the problem of increasing growth and maintain quality after harvest. This experiment proved that the quality of radish sprout vegetable was affected by CO₂ treatment during cultivation. Thus, the effect of CO₂ treatment during cultivation on postharvest quality of radish sprout vegetable was investigated in terms of the quality changes in weight loss, gas partial pressure, SPAD, hue angle external appearance during storage at polypropylene film (thickness 30 ㎛) at 10℃. CO₂ treatment used the way to gas with 700 ppm or carbonated water with 700 ppm and 1,400 ppm. The study revealed that growths on CO₂ treated plant were more than those of non-treatment on stem length. After harvesting, the CO₂ treated plant and control growing little different characteristics on fresh weight, plant length and so on. However, there were no differences between the CO₂ treated plant and control on the Fv/Fm and SOD (superoxide dismutase). In gas partial pressure, the O₂ consumption and CO₂ accumulation of the CO₂ treated plant tended to be more than that of non-treated plant. This study also checked that after packaging, the effects of CO₂ treatment during cultivation on the quality of radish sprout vegetable was not significant. However, there were tended to CO₂ treatments were lower value compared to control on SPAD, hue angle and general appearance. CO₂ treatments of radish sprouting vegetable before harvest were improve growth of stem length, but ones were not improving the maintain of quality on radish sprout vegetable during shelf-life period. The results indicated that CO₂ treatment only affected stem elongation until radish sprout vegetable its growth.

The characteristics of an watery type Kimchi prepared without the addition of red pepper, were investigated focused on the effect of salt concentration and fermentation temperatures. The Chinese cabbage was brined in various NaCl solution to obtain the final salt concentration range of 0.5∼3.0% of the brined cabbage. Fermentation of Baik Kimchi was carried out at 10, 20, 30$^{\circ}C$ with addition of equal weight of water to brined cabbage. The result showed that the fermentation was generally increased as the NaCl concentration decreased for all temperatures based on the data of pH and total acidity. The higher temperature resulted in an increase in fermentation rate in terms of pH and total acidity. The organoleptic flavor properties of fresh sourness and acidity were significantly affected by NaCl concentration and fermentation temperatures. The Baik Kimchi prepared with 1.0% NaCl and fermentation at 30$^{\circ}C$ was found to be most acceptable.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of pressure assisted freezing(PAF) on physicochemical properties of pork meat. Pork meat was frozen under pressure up to 200 MPa at $-60^{\circ}C$, and compared with fresh control. Phase transition temperature decreased with increasing pressure level, while pressure level had no effect on supercooling extent. Increasing pressure level increased pH of meat significantly(p<0.05). Thawing losses of all treatments were significantly higher(p<0.05) than control with the exception of PAF at 200 MPa. Water holding capacity(WHC) was increased significantly(p<0.05) with increasing pressure level up to 100 MPa. Cooking loss tended to decrease with increasing pressure level. In color, CIE $L^*-\;and\;b^*-value$ increased with increasing pressure level, while CIE $a^*-value$ decreased significantly(p<0.05). Increasing pressure level up to 150 MPa increased shear force significantly(p<0.05), however, no significant difference between 150 and 200 MPa in shear force was found(p>0.05). Therefore, the results indicated that excessive pressure level in PAF caused several losses in meat qualities, while PAF at mild pressure level improved meat qualities compared to atmosphere freezing.
