Maintenance of a beneficial microbial community, especially in the rhizosphere, is indispensable for plant growth and agricultural sustainability. In this sense, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been extensively studied for their role in plant growth promotion and disease resistance. However, the impact of introducing PGPR strains into rhizosphere microbial communities is still underexplored. We previously found that the Proteus vulgaris JBLS202 strain (JBLS202) promoted growth of Kimchi cabbage and altered the relative abundance of total bacteria and Pseudomonas spp. in the treated rhizosphere. To extend these findings, we used pyrosequencing to analyze the changes in bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of Kimchi cabbage after introduction of JBLS202. The alterations were also evaluated by taxon-specific realtime PCR (qPCR). The pyrosequencing data revealed an increase in total bacteria abundance, including specific groups such as Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria, in the treated rhizosphere. Time-course qPCR analysis confirmed the increase in the abundance of Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, and Betaproteobacteria. Furthermore, genes involved in nitrogen cycling were upregulated by JBLS202 treatment indicating changes in ecological function of the rhizosphere soil. Overall, these results indicate that introduction of JBLS202 alters both the composition and function of the rhizosphere bacterial community, which can have direct and indirect effects on plant growth. Therefore, we propose that long-term changes in bacterial composition and community-level function need to be considered for practical use of PGPRs.

나무의 유전 공학적 연구를 위해서는 목본 고유의 유전자 및 프로모터 연구가 필수적이다. 우리는 포플러(P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa)의 Pagns-LTP 유전자의 867 bp 프로모터를 분리하였고, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter 유전자를 이용한 프로모터의 형질전환 포플러를 제작하여 특성 분석하였다. Pagns-LTP 유전자는 어린뿌리에서 강하게 발현되었고 어린잎에서는 약하게 발현되었으며, 그밖에 다른 조직에서는 발현되지 않았다. 또한, 프로모터의 활성은 뿌리와 어린잎에서 한정되었으며 어린뿌리의 세포 전체에서 강한 활성을 나타내었다. 이에 포플러 ns-LTP 프로모터 내의 cis-element를 조사하고 현사시나무에서 Pagns-LTP 프로모터를 분리한 후 활성을 분석하였다. 프로모터 내의 cis-element를 분석한 결과, 조직 특이적 발현과 호르몬 및 스트레스에 반응하는 다양한 cis-element가 존재함을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 포플러의 ns-LTP는 생장뿐만 아니라, 스트레스에도 관여할 것이라고 추측할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 목본의 유전자 기능 분석 및 다양한 응용 연구를 위해 유용하게 이용될 수 있는 도구로서의 가능성을 제시하였다.

The development of domestic plant specific emission factors is very important to estimate reliable national emissions management. This study, for the reason, was carried out to obtain advances emission factor for Carbon Dioxide ($CO_2$) by source-specific emission tests from the iron and steel industry sector which is well known as one of the major sources of greenhouse gases ($CO_2$). Emission factors estimated in this study were compared with those of IPCC for evaluation and they were found to be of similar level in the case of $CO_2$. There was no good information available on $CO_2$ plant specific emission factors from the iron and steel industry in Korea so far. The major emission sources of $CO_2$ examined from the iron and steel manufacturing precesses were a hot blast stove, coke oven, sintering furnace, electric arc furnace, heating furnace, and so on. In this study, the concentration of $CO_2$ from the hot blast stove process was the highest among all processes. The $CO_2$ emission factors for a ton of Steel and Iron products (using B-C oil) were estimated to be 0.315 $CO_2$ tonne (by Tier 3 method) and 4.89 $CO_2$ tonne. In addition, emission factor of $CO_2$ for heating furnace process was the highest among all process. Emission factors estimated in this study were compared with those of IPCC for evaluation and they were found to be of similar level in the case of $CO_2$.

Rice yield and protein content have been shown to be highly variable across paddy fields. In order to characterize this spatial variability of rice within a field, two-year experiments were conducted in 2002 and 2003 in a large-scale rice field of $6,600m^2$ In year 2004, an experiment was conducted to know if variable rate treatment (VRT) of N fertilizer, that was prescribed for site-specific management at panicle initiation stage, could reduce spatial variation in yield and protein content of rice while increasing yield compared to conventional uniform N topdressing (UN, 33kg N/ha at PIS) method. VRT nitrogen prescription for each grid was calculated based on the nitrogen (N) uptake (from panicle initiation to harvest) required for target rice protein content of $6.8\%$, natural soil N supply, and recovery of top-dressed N fertilizer. The required N uptake for target rice protein content was calculated from the equations to predict rice yield and protein content from plant growth parameters at panicle initiation stage (PIS) and N uptake from PIS to harvest. This model· equations were developed from the data obtained from the previous two-year experiments. The plant growth parameters for the calculation of the required N were predicted non-destructively by canopy reflectance measurement. Soil N supply for each grid was obtained from the experiment of year 2003, and N recovery was assumed to be $60\%$ according to the previous reports. The prescribed VRT N ranged from 0 to 110kg N/ha with an average of 57kg/ha that was higher than 33 kg/ha of UN. The results showed that VRT application successfully worked not only to reduce spatial variability of rice yield and protein content but also to increase rough rice yield by 960kg/ha. The coefficient of variation (CV) for rice yield and protein content was reduced significantly to $8.1\%$ and $7.1\%$ in VRT from $14.6\%$ and $13.0\%$ in UN, respectively. And also the average protein content of milled rice in VRT showed very similar value of target protein content of $6.8\%$. In conclusion the procedure used in this paper was believed to be reliable and promising method for reducing within-field spatial variability of rice yield and protein content. However, inexpensive, reliable, and fast estimation methods of natural N supply and plant growth and nutrition status should be prepared before this method could be practically used for site-specific crop management in large-scale rice field.

본 연구는 새로운 제초제 후보물질을 탐색하기 위하여 식물특이적 효소 저해제로 알려진 107개 기존 화합물에 대하여 생물활성을 조사하였다. Germination test, seedling assay, wheat leaf disc assay, cyanobacteria assay, whole plant assay를 통하여 15종의 저해제를 선발하였고 이들은 34종 효소를 저해하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이들 화합물 중에서 phenylhydrazine, purine, o-phenanthroline, oleylamine, 7,8-benzoquinoline, aminooxyacetic acid, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide 등은 성체를 이용한 온실 실험에서 높은 제초활성을 나타내었다. 7,8-benzoquinone, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2,2'-dipyridyl 및 o-phenanthroline 등은 피, 벼, 토마토의 발아를 $1.25{\sim}5{\mu}M$의 농도에서도 억제하였다. 7,8-benzoquinoline, cyanuric fluoride, 4-methylpyrazole, tranylcypromine, oleylamine과 trifluoperazine 등은 $30{\sim}100{\mu}M$ 농도에서 cyanobacteria의 생육을 저해하였다. Dicyclohexyl carbodiimide와 chlorpromazine은 $100{\mu}M$ 농도에서 wheat leaf disc의 백화현상을 유기시켰다. 이상과 같이 생물학적 활성을 갖는 식물 특이적 효소저해제들은 신규제초제 후보물질을 선발하기 위한 새로운 대상효소로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Background: To address the lack of evidence supporting invasion by three invasive plant species (Imperata cylindrica, Lantana camara, and Chromolaena odorata) in tropical ecosystems, we compared the ecophysiological and leaf anatomical traits of these three invasive alien species with those of species native to Sempu Island, Indonesia. Data on four plant traits were obtained from the TRY Plant Trait Database, and leaf anatomical traits were measured using transverse leaf sections. Results: Two ecophysiological traits including specific leaf area (SLA) and seed dry weight showed significant association with plant invasion in the Sempu Island Nature Reserve. Invasive species showed higher SLA and lower seed dry weight than non-invasive species. Moreover, invasive species showed superior leaf anatomical traits including sclerenchymatous tissue thickness, vascular bundle area, chlorophyll content, and bundle sheath area. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that leaf anatomical traits strongly influenced with cumulative variances (100% in grass and 88.92% in shrubs), where I. cylindrica and C. odorata outperformed non-invasive species in these traits. Conclusions: These data suggest that the traits studied are important for plant invasiveness since ecophysiological traits influence of light capture, plant growth, and reproduction while leaf anatomical traits affect herbivory, photosynthetic assimilate transport, and photosynthetic activity.
