Salinity stress limits plant cultivation in many areas worldwide; however, persimmon (Diospyros spp.) has high tolerance to salt. Five accessions of Diospyros [three of Diospyros lotus (accession numbers 824, 846, and 847); one of Diospyros kaki var. sylvestris (869); and one of Diospyros virginiana (844)] were chosen for analysis of salinity stress. We compared the effects of salt stress on plant growth, relative water content (RWC), malondialdehyde (MDA), electrolyte leakage (EL), hydrogen peroxide content ($H_2O_2$), and antioxidative enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, SOD; catalase, CAT; peroxidase, POD; and ascorbate peroxidase, APX) in leaves of healthy potted seedlings from each of the five accessions after salt treatment for 25 days. Salt stress affected the growth of plants in all five accessions, with all three D. lotus accessions showing the most severe effect. Salt stress increased membrane lipid peroxidation in all accessions, but a stronger increase was observed in the three D. lotus accessions. Moreover, accumulation of $H_2O_2$ was faster in salt-sensitive D. lotus compared to salt-tolerant D. virginiana 844. The activities of all antioxidant enzymes increased in D. virginiana 844 and in D. kaki var. sylvestris 869; the activities of SOD, CAT, and APX were at similar levels in D. virginiana 844 and D. kaki var. sylvestris 869, but POD activity was stimulated to a greater extent in D. virginiana 844. The activities of all antioxidant enzymes (except POD) decreased in D. lotus 824 and increased (except for SOD) in D.lotus 846. The activities of SOD and APX decreased in D. lotus 847, whereas POD and CAT activities both increased. Relative water content decreased significantly in D. lotus. No significant changes in lipid peroxidation or relevant antioxidant parameters were detected in any of the accessions in controls treated with 0.0% NaCl. D. virginiana 844 had higher antioxidant capacity in response to salinity compared to other persimmon rootstocks. These results indicate that changes of these key physiological variables are related to salinity resistance in different accessions of persimmon.

Pot에 재배(栽培)한 수도(水稻) 진주벼와 이리 348호(號)에 수분 결핍과 염장애를 유도한 다음 몇가지 유기대사산물(有機代謝産物)과 무기(無機)이온의 함량(含量)을 측정(測定)하고 관계되는 몇가지 효소활성(酵素活性)을 측정(測定)하여 비교검토(比較檢討)하였다. 비내염성(非耐鹽性)으로 알려진 이리 348호(號)가 부적환경조건(不適環境條件)에서 수분손실(水分損失)이 심하고 proline의 함량(含量)도 많았다. 2품종(品種) 모두 부적환경조건(不適環境條件)에서 조단백질, 총유리아미노산, proline, polypheonol화합물(化合物)이 증가(增加)됐으나 환원량(環元糧)은 수분장애구(水分障碍區)에서만 축적(蓄積)되었다. 조단백질에 대한 유기용질(有機溶質)의 비(比)는 진주벼의 부적환경구(不適環境區)에서만 증가한 반면 이리 348호(號)에서는 변화가 없었다. 부적환경구(不適環境區)에서 황성(活性)이 증가(增加)한 효소(酵素)로는 protease, ${\alpha}-amylase$, phosphorylase가 있으며, 특히 조단백질에 대한 총유리아미노산의 비(比)의 증가(增加)는 protease에 의한 단백질의 가수분해(加水分解)에 기인했다. $Na^+$과 $Cl^-$의 함량은 이리 348호(號)에서 진주벼에서 보다 높았다. $Na^+/Ca^{2+}$과 양이온의 일가(一價)/이가(二價)의 값들은 진주벼에서 항상 낮았고, $K^+/Na^+$은 진주벼에서 높았다. 그러므로 이러한 값이 염해(鹽害)와 한발(旱魃)에 대한 저항성과 어떠한 상관(相關)이 있는지 더욱 연구(硏究)할 필요가 있다고 본다.

Crop productivity decreases globally as a result of salinization. However, salinity impact on greenhouse-grown crops is much higher than on field-grown crops due to the overall concentrations of nutrients in greenhouse soils. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the short-term changes in growth, photosynthesis, and metabolites of tomato plants grown in greenhouse under heavily input of fertilizers evaluated by microbial activity and chemical properties of soils. The soils (< 3, 3.01~6, 6.01~10 and > 10.01 dS $m^{-1}$) from farmer's greenhouse fields having different fertilization practices were used. Results showed that the salt-accumulated soil affected adversely the growth of tomato plants. Tomato plants were seldom to complete their growth against > 10.0 dS $m^{-1}$ level of EC. The assimilation rate of $CO_2$ from the upper fully expanded leaves of tomato plants is reduced under increasing soil EC levels at 14 days, however; it was the highest in moderate or high EC-subjected (3.0 ~ 10.0 dS $m^{-1}$) at 28 days. In our experiment, soluble sugars and starch were sensitive markers for salt stress and thus might assume the status of crops against various salt conditions. Taken together, tomato plants found to have tolerance against moderate soil EC stress. Various EC levels (< 3.0 ~ 10.0 dS $m^{-1}$) led to a slight decrease in organic matter (OM) contents in soils at 28 days. Salinity stress led to higher microbial activity in soils, followed by a decomposition of OM in soils as indicated by the changes in soil chemical properties.

The RING (Really Interesting New Gene) finger proteins are known to play crucial roles in various abiotic stresses in plants. In this study, we report on RING finger E3 ligase, ${\underline{O}ryza}$ ${\underline{s}ativa}$ ${\underline{s}alt$-, ${\underline{A}BA}$- and ${\underline{d}rounght}$ stress-${\underline{i}nduced}$ RING finger ${\underline{p}}rotein{\underline{1}}$ gene (OsSAD1). In vitro ubiquitination assay demonstrated that unlike OsSAD1, a single amino acid substitution ($OsSAD1^{C168A}$) of the RING domain showed no E3 ligase activity, supporting the notion that the activity of most E3s is specified by a RING domain. Result of Yeast-Two hybridization, In vivo protein degradation assay supports that OsSAD1 interacting with 3 substrate, OsSNAC2, OsGRAS44 and OsPIRIN1, and mediates proteolysis of 3 substrates via the 26S proteasome pathway. Subcellular localizations of OsSAD1 while approximately 62% of transient signals were detected in cytosol, 38% of signals were showed nucleus. However, transiently expression of OsSAD1 was detected in cytosol 30% while as 70% of nucleus under 200 mM salt treated rice protoplasts. Results of bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) showed that two nucleus-localized proteins (OsSNAC2 and OsGRAS44) interacted with OsSAD1 in the both cytosol and nucleus. Heterogeneous overexpression of OsSAD1 Heterogeneous overexpresssion of OsSAD1 in Arabidopsis exhibited sensitive phenotypes with respect to Salt-, mannitol-responsive seed germination, seedling growth. In ABA conditions, OsSAD1 overexpression plants showed highly tolerance phenotypes, such as root length and stomatal closure. Our findings suggest that the OsSAD1 may play a negative regulator in salt stress response by modulating levels of its target proteins.

The consumption of high-salt foods is an independent risk factor for increased hypertension. Thus, evaluating the relationship of taste sensitivity and pleasantness of high-salt foods such as Korean jang products, would help contribute to an understanding of salty food eating behaviors of the Korean rural elderly. This study aimed to verify the association between taste sensitivity and salinity of Korean jang products, and the preferences of food groups and nutrient intake in the rural elderly. We studied 269 elderly persons (males 83, females 186) aged above 65 years, residing in the rural area, Sunchang gun Jeonbuk. For each subject, a recognition threshold of 4 basic tastes and pleasant concentrations of NaCl were estimated using the sip- and-spit method. Taste preferences, frequency of intake of food groups, nutrient intakes, and salinity and sweetness of Korean jang products (Doenjang, Ganjang, Gochujang) were assessed. No association was found between salt taste recognition threshold and optimally preferred concentration of salt and salinity of Korean jang products. However, the sweet taste recognition threshold was positively related to the sweetness of Korean jang products. Also, the salinity of Doenjang positively correlated with the frequencies of food groups and nutrient intakes. That is to say that the sweet taste sensitivity was related to the sweetness of Korean jang products, but was not sensitive to the salty taste. The salinity of Doenjang correlated with the consumption of food and nutrient intakes. Taken together, these findings suggest the need for appropriate intervention and education to reduce the salinity of Doenjang, which is an important modifiable factor contributing to reducing sodium intake in the rural elderly.

An advanced nuclear reactor based on molten salts including a molten salt reactor and pyroprocessing needs a sensitive monitoring system suitable for operation in harsh environments with limited access. Multi-element detection is challenging with the conventional technologies that are compatible with the in-situ operation; hence laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been investigated as a potential alternative. However, limited precision is a chronic problem with LIBS. We increased the precision of LIBS under high temperature by protecting optics using a gas protective layer and correcting for shotto-shot variance and lens-to-sample distance using a laser-induced acoustic signal. This study investigates cerium as a surrogate for uranium and corrosion products for simulating corrosive environments in LiCl-KCl. While the un-corrected limit of detection (LOD) range is 425-513 ppm, the acoustic-corrected LOD range is 360-397 ppm. The typical cerium concentrations in pyroprocessing are about two orders of magnitude higher than the LOD found in this study. A LIBS monitoring system that adopts these methods could have a significant impact on the ability to monitor and provide early detection of the transient behavior of salt composition in advanced molten salt-based nuclear reactors.

Objective: To examine the effects of sodium intake on the correlations between the saltsensitive gene ${\alpha}$-adducin 1 (ADD1) and inflammatory cytokines in Korean childhood obesity. Methods: A total of 2,070 students aged 8-9 years old participated in this study. The anthropometrics, serum biochemistry profile, inflammatory cytokines, and three-day dietary assessment were analyzed according to sex, obesity degree, and ADD1 polymorphism. Results: The obesity prevalence was higher in boys (15.6%) than in girls (11.9%). Boys also showed higher values in anthropometrics; lipid, glucose, and insulin profiles; total calorie intakes, as well as those of sodium and calcium compared with those of the girls. The more obese were boys and girls, the higher were the anthropometrics and the blood levels (total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, and insulin), but the lower was high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The obese boys had significantly higher sodium and Na/K intakes, while the obese girls had higher visfatin level and Na/K intake. In addition, an increase in the risk factors for blood pressure and obesity in ADD1 variants was identified. Serum tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$($TNF-{\alpha}$) significantly increased with increasing sodium intake in the ADD1 W allele carriers, regardless of sex. The presence of obesity with the ADD1 W allele induced inflammatory accelerators such as $TNF-{\alpha}$ or C-reactive protein(CRP) with higher sodium intake. Conclusion: Obese children with an ADD1w allele can experience a more complex form of obesity than non-obese when exposed to an obesity-inducing environment and need to be controlled sodium intake in the diet.

섬진강 하구 시설재배지의 염류집적심화의 원인을 구명하기 위해 경남 하동군 목도리 시설재배단지 토양의 염류집적 특성과 주요 관개용수인 지하수의 수질특성, 그리고 시비실태를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 토양 내 염류농도가 우리나라 시설재배지 평균에 비해 높았으며, 특히 나트륨과 염소의 함량이 높게 검출되어 염에 대해 민감한 작목에 대해서는 유묘기에 염해발생가능성이 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 지역에서 주로 사용되고 있는 천층 지하수는 높은 농도의 염(평균 EC $2.6\;dS\;m^{-1}$)과 나트륨과 염소를 포함하고 있었다. 특히 수막시설 운영으로 관개용수의 사용량이 급격하게 증가하는 동절기 관개용수 중 염 농도는 급격하게 증가되고 있어 이시기 토양 내 염농도의 상승과 작물에 대한 염해유발 가능성을 가지고 있었다. 이외에도 지역에서 재배되고 있는 모든 작목에 대해 추천시비량 이상의 과량의 화학비료와 축산분뇨퇴비가 시용되고 있어 표층토의 염류집적을 가속화시키는 것에 기여하였다. 해당 지역의 염류피해를 경감하기 위해서는 일차적으로 양질의 관개용수의 확보와 시비량 저감을 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

염 농도와 감마선 조사 선량을 달리한 오징어젓갈의 미생물 균총 변화를 살펴보았다. 총균, Lactobacillus spp., Staphylococcus spp.는 발효기간에 따라 지속적으로 생장하여 발효 40일째에 염도 5%와 10%에서는 $10^8\;CFU/mL$까지, 염도 20%에서는 $10^7\;CFU/mL$까지 생장하였으며 5 kGy 이상 감마선 조사구는 초기 균수 감소로 발효 후기의 미생물 밀도가 낮아졌다. 염도가 증가할수록 감마선 조사가 미생물 생장에 미치는 영향이 컸으며, 감마선 조사에 의한 오징어젓갈 관련 발효 미생물의 생장억제는 염도 10%에 10 kGy의 감마선 조사 조건이 적합하였다. 발효미생물의 동정 결과, L. plantarum이 전 실험구에 걸쳐 가장 일반적인 발효균으로 분리되었으며 Lactobacillus sp. 2, Mic. varians, Streptococcus sp. 1 등은 염도 5%의 실험구에만, Mic. morrhuae 등은 20%의 염농도에서만 분리되어 염도에 따른 microflora의 차이를 나타내었다. 또한, L. brevis, Ped. halophilus, Pse. diminuta 등은 방사선 감수성이 큰 미생물군이었으며, L. plantarum, Mic. morrhuae, Pseudomonas sp. 3 등은 방사선에 대한 저항성이 높았다. 전체적으로 보아 염도 20% 실험구에서의 분리 미생물이 15종으로 가장 다양한 분포를 보였으며 염도가 낮아질수록, 감마선 조사선량이 높아질수록 종의 다양성은 낮았다.
