Purpose: Phytosanitary irradiation treatment can effectively control regulated pests while maintaining produce quality. The objective of this study was to establish the best irradiation treatment for mangosteen, a popular tropical fruit, using a Monte Carlo simulation. Methods: Magnetic resonance image (MRI) data were used to generate a 3-D geometry to simulate dose distributions in a mangosteen using a radiation transport code (MCNP5). Microsoft Excel with visual basic application (VBA) was used to divide the image data into seed, flesh, and rind. Radiation energies used for the simulation were 10 MeV (high-energy) and 1.35 MeV (low-energy) for the electron beam, 5 MeV for X-rays, and 1.25 MeV for gamma rays from Co-60. Results: At 5 MeV X-rays and 1.25 MeV gamma rays, all areas (seeds, flesh, and rind) were irradiated ranging from 0.3 ~ 0.7 kGy. The average doses decreased as the number of fruit increased. For a 10 MeV electron beam, the dose distribution was biased: the dose for the rind where the electrons entered was $0.45{\pm}0.03$ kGy and the other side was $0.24 {\pm}0.10$ kGy. Use of an electron kinetic energy absorber improved the dose distribution in mangosteens. For the 1.35 MeV electron beam, the dose was shown only in the rind on the irradiated side; no significant dose was found in the flesh or seeds. One rotation of the fruit while in front of the beam improved the dose distribution around the entire rind. Conclusion: These results are invaluable for determining the ideal irradiation conditions for phytosanitary irradiation treatment of tropical fruit.

A comparative study of the structure and organization of the primary and secondary walls in different types of tropical plant waste fibers was carried out using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thickness of each layer was also measured using Image Analyzer. TEM micrographs haveconfirmed that cell wall structure of all six types of tropical plant waste fibers (empty fruit bunch, oil palm frond, oil palm trunk, coir, banana stem and pineapple leaf) has the same ultrastructure with wood fibre. The fibers consisted of middle lamella, primary and thick secondary wall with different thickness for different types of fibers. The secondary wall was differentiated into a $S_1$ layer, a unique multi-lamellae $S_2$ layer, and $S_3$ layer.

The possible protective effects of highly zinc-containing yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, FF-10 strain, isolated from tropical fruit rambutan on acute alcoholic liver injury in rats were evaluated. Zinc concentration in this strain was 30.6mg%. The activities of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and $\gamma$-glutamyl transpeptidase ($\gamma$-GTP) were highly increased when alcohol was treated, relative to the normal rats. Also, a highly significant increase in the blood alcohol and acetaldehyde levels by alcohol treatment was observed. Administration of FF-10 strain markedly prevented alcohol-induced elevation of the activities of serum ALT, AST, and $\gamma$-GTP, and the levels of blood alcohol and acetaldehyde, and these reduced levels reached to that of normal rats. As compared with alcohol treated control rats, the FF-10 strain supplementation showed highly decreased the triglyceride concentration in serum. Alcohol treatment induced the marked accumulation of small lipid droplets, hepatocytes necrosis, and inflammation, but FF-10 strain administration attenuated to alcohol-induced accumulation of small lipid droplets and hepatocyte necrosis in the liver. Therefore, the current finding suggests that zinc-enriched yeast FF-10 strain isolated from tropical fruit rambutan may have protective effect against alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity.

최근 지구 온난화로 인해 열대야 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 야간 저온의 감소에 의한 사과의 착색 불량이 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구는 생육기 후반의 야간 고온이 '후지' 사과에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 성숙기 과실 품질과 시기별 안토시아닌 생합성 유전자의 발현량을 조사하였고, 잎과 과실 내 당 함량을 비교하여 야간 고온에 의한 생리반응을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 야간온도는 7월부터 10월까지 인공기상실 내부에서 처리하였고, 대기온도 대비 $-4^{\circ}C$, $+4^{\circ}C$ 로 각각 설정하였다. 야간 고온은 과실의 횡경, 과중, 당도에 영향을 미치지 않았고 과피의 착색을 불량하게 하였지만, 착색 시기의 안토시아닌 생합성 유전자의 발현량을 변화시키지 않았다. 또한, 야간 고온에 의해서 잎의 sorbitol, glucose 함량과 과실의 sorbitol, sucrose 함량이 대조구에 비해 감소하였고, 잎 조직을 구성하고 있는 책상, 해면 등의 광합성 조직에는 차이가 나타나지 않았지만 광합성 조직 내의 전분 함량이 감소하였다. 따라서 야간 고온은 '후지' 사과의 과실 품질에는 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 잎과 과실의 당 조성을 변화시켰으며, 안토시아닌 생합성 유전자의 발현과는 관계없이 과피의 착색을 억제하였다.

Melon fruits are a year-old plant in the family Cucurbitae and are the most cultivated fruit in tropical countries. Melon flesh is an important source of anti-cancer, antioxidant effects, attracting attention as a functional food. We investigated the morphological properties, β-carotene content, and cucumisin activity of seeds of 58 melon genetic resources. Melon resources have shown various morphological properties. Melons grouped by morphological properties were the five groups. β-carotene content varied between 82.34 mg/kg, 86.75 mg/kg, 25.56 mg/kg, 86.25 mg/kg, and 54.65 mg/kg. Between β-carotene, cucumisin activity and other quantitative fruit morphological properties, the color of the pulp and the firmness of the pulp had a significant amount of correlation between the β-carotene content. However, cucumisin activity and β-carotene content had significant negative correlation, and the color of the fruit and shape of the fruit had significant negative correlation with β-carotene content and activity of cucumisin. Our study vindicated that high diversity in melon morphological characters of genetic sources that provide beneficial baseline data for the future and in the activity of β-carotene and cucumisin, and these results could predict indicators of β-carotene content by the length of leaf, the width of fruit, the length of joint, and the length of seed, and collectively the morphological properties of melons could help predict indicators of β-carotene content and help develop functional sarcoma and farmhouse cultivation.

Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) is one of the introduced tropical plants, an increasing interest has arisen due to its distinctive taste and attractive flavor. It is expected that passion fruit production and planted area will increase gradually in the years ahead because of high profitability and consumer's demands of healthful ingredients. So we tried to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators and antioxidants on in vitro plant regeneration and callus induction from leaf explants of passion fruit for an establishment of optimal mass propagation system. Young leaf explants of purple passion fruit were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing different growth regulators and antioxidant additives to induce the shoot organogenesis. After 8 weeks, the highest embryogenic callus formation rate was obtained in MS medium supplemented with $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), furthermore, the shoot development via organogenesis was also observed. Silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$), which was added into the medium to minimize the adverse effects of leached phenolics, was effective for reduction of medium browning and sudden explant death. In the medium supplemented with $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP and $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ gibberellic acid ($GA_3$), shoots were most vigorously regenerated and elongated. Most shoots rooted successfully in half strength medium with $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ indol-3 acetic acid (IAA), and more than 90% of plantlets survived after 4-month acclimatization period.

농업은 기상 의존도가 매우 높은 산업분야로서 지구온난화는 농업의 생산성, 생산여건, 그리고 품질 및 재배적지 등에 미칠 영향이 매우 클 것이 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지리정보시스템을 도입하여 지구 온난화에 따른 국내 과수작물 재배지의 입지분석을 기후변화에 따라 우리나라에 확대도입이 가능한 레몬, 무화과, 키위, 오렌지, 석류, 한라봉을 중심으로 시행하였다. 지리정보시스템의 기술적 측면에서 기온에 대한 Interpolate 기능과 경사도에 대한 surface analysis 기능, 그리고 raster Calculator를 이용하였다. 기온의 상승에 따라 각 과수들은 재배지역이 현재는 제주도와 남부지역에 집중되어 있으나, 평균기온이나 최저기온이 3도, 4.5도 상승함에 따라 두 가지의 형태 즉, 중부지역으로 확산되거나 띠모양으로 변화하는 모습을 보이고 있다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해서 우리는 지구온난화라는 위기를 기회로 활용하고 더 나아가 농촌의 농가 소득향상과 국민에게 다양한 먹을거리를 제공하는 차원에서 기후 자원을 활용할 수 있는 정부의 정책적 노력과 농민들의 합리적인 대응이 시급하게 필요함을 주장하지 않을 수 없다.
