Quantitative changes in functional constituents of waxy corn (Zea mays L.) by 5 different thermal pretreatments, including roasting, steaming, microwave, puffing, and extruding, were determined and compared with those of the raw waxy corn. There were no significant differences in fatty acid compositions among the corn treated with 5 thermal treatments. Levels of $\alpha$- and $\gamma$-tocopherols, soluble amino acids, and phytosterols decreased by thermal treatments, while those of p-coumaric and ferulic acids considerably increased by thermal treatments. In particular, the contents of tocopherols and phytosterols, and souble amino acid decreased significant in the steaming and puffing processes, respectively, whereas those of 2 free cinnamic acids increased significantly in the steaming and puffing processes. The extruding process showed smaller quantitative changes in tocopherols, phytosterols, and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives compared to other heat pretreatments. These results suggest that the extruding process have a positive effect on valuable phytochemicals in waxy corn.

옥수수를 이용한 고품질의 가공식품을 개발하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 옥수수의 품종별 및 가열처리에 따른 기능성 폴리페놀화합물인 hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives(HADs) 및 안토시아닌 색소의 함량 변화를 조사하였다. 국내산 3가지 옥수수 품종(찰옥수수, 감미옥수수 및 사료용 옥수수)의 일반성분 함량을 측정한 결과, 수분함량은 4.13~10.07%, 무질소화합물 65.57~81.75%, 단백질 6.51~15.15%, 지방 3.16~12.35%, 섬유소 2.09~7.81%, 회분 1.40~1.96% 범위로, 찰옥수수의 일반성분의 함량은 비슷하였으나 감미종 옥수수는 찰옥수수보다 단백질과 지방 함량이 높은 반면, 당 함량은 낮았으며, 특히 감미종 중 감미옥 품종은 지방과 섬유소 함량이 옥수수 품종 중 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었고, 사료용 옥수수는 단백질 및 지방 함량이 매우 낮았으며, 특히 단백질 함량은 옥수수 품종 중 가장 낮았다. 옥수수 품종 중 찰옥수수는 5가지 HADs 함량이 골고루 분포하고 있는 반면, 사료용 옥수수는 2가지 FCAs의 함량은 낮은 반면, 3가지 PCs 함량이 가장 높았으며, 특히 P3394 품종이 가장 높았다. 감미 옥수수는 찰옥수수보다 FCAs의 함량은 대체로 높은 반면, PCs는 사료용보다 적어 대체로 찰옥수수와 사료용 옥수수의 중간 정도의 HADs 함량을 나타내었다. 찰옥수수 품종 중 박사찰옥수수의 총 안토시아닌 색소 함량은 2.03 mg/g(건물중), 알록이찰옥수수는 3.43 mg/g, 그리고 흑찰옥수수의 함량은 4.35 mg/g으로서 흑미백찰옥수수의 총 안토시아닌 색소 함량이 가장 높았다. 가열처리에 따라 흑찰옥수수의 2가지 FCAs는 다소 증가한 반면, 3가지 PCs는 거의 변화가 없었으며, 가열처리 중 볶음, retort 및 팽화처리는 FCAs를 증가시켰고 특히 팽화처리 시 크게 증가하였다. 가열처리에 따른 흑찰옥수수의 총 안토시아닌 색소 함량을 측정한 결과, 대조구 함량은 4.35 mg/g이었으나 retort 처리(4.45 mg/g) 경우를 제외하고 대부분 가열처리에 따라 함량이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 특히 팽화처리 경우 안토시아닌 함량이 크게 감소하여 거의 소실되었다. 흑미백찰옥수수로부터 주된 안토시아닌 색소인 pelargonidin 3-glucoside(P3G)를 분리 및 동정하였으며, 가열처리에 따른 P3G의 함량 변화를 측정한 결과, retort 처리 경우 함량이 다소 증가한(20.03 mg%) 반면, 그 외 볶음, 마이크로파 및 압출성형 처리에 의해 대체로 감소하였으며, 특히 팽화처리 경우 색소가 거의 소실되었다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼 때 옥수수의 기능성성분인 HADs 및 안토시아닌 색소 함량은 옥수수 품종 및 가공처리에 따라 다소 달라짐을 알 수 있었으며, 특히 옥수수 품종 중 항암, 항고혈압, 항당뇨 및 항노화성 FCAs 및 안토시아닌 색소 함량이 높은 흑찰옥수수의 대량 보급과 더불어 고압가열처리(retort)에 의한 고품질의 흑찰옥수수 가공품 개발이 요구된다.

Soil moisture shortage can reduce yield of waxy corn because maize is one of the sensitive crops to the drought stress. Farmers cannot irrigate due to limited water resource and irrigating facilities although applying water is the most effective practice to solve the drought problem. The study was conducted to investigate the pre-treatment effect of salicylic acid on reducing drought damage of waxy corn (Zea mays L.). Salicylic acid at concentration of 0.2 mM was applied at seven-leaf stage or ten-leaf stage three times. Drought stress was imposed by withholding irrigation from 11 days before anthesis to 10 days after anthesis. Application of salicylic acid significantly increased ear length by 11.0~12.3% and yield by 8.8~11.3% compared with non-treated control, indicating that the drought injuries of waxy corn can be alleviated through pre-treatment of salicylic acid at the vegetative stage.

This study was carried out to identify the characteristics of 37 corn hybrids, which composed with 18 yellow colored kernel, 9 purple colored kernel, 8 white colored kernel. Days to silking of three colored waxy corn hybrids ranged from 61 to 73 days after sowing as midium-late ecotype. Ear length of hybrids ranged from 10.3 to 22.7 cm, and among them a total 22 waxy corn hybrids including CNU038 showed over 20 cm in ear length. The fresh weight per ear ranged from 58 to 289 g as the 32.9% of large coefficient of variance. In there results, we found yellow colored waxy corn hybrids showed relatively longer in ear length and heavier in fresh weight per ear compare to other colored waxy corn hybrids. In correlation relationships, plant height, ear height, stem diameter, ear length and ear weight showed positive correlation between themselves, while tip filling ratio did negative correlation with silking stage, plant height, ear length, ear weight and kernel thickness. Also, 100 kernel weight did positive correlation between traits related to ear and kernel.

옥수수의 항산화 활성에 대한 N-P-K의 시비의 효과를 알아보고자, 찰옥 2호와 수원 19호 두 품종을 대상으로 시비량에 따른 옥수수의 항산화 활성과 tocopherols, 페놀화합물, carotenoids의 함량을 분석하였다. 시비 수준은 N, P, K 각각에 대한 표준 시비량과 이의 1/2 및 2배 그리고 무비이었다. 찰옥2호의 항산화 활성은 19.0~22.2%로, 수원19호보다 높았다. 찰옥 2호의 항산화 활성은 표준 시비구에서 가장 높았으나, 처리간의 유의성은 없었고, 수원19호의 항산화활성과 항산화 성분 함량은 질소 2배 시용구에서 높았다. Tocopherols, 페놀화합물, carotenoids의 함량은 찰옥2호의 경우 각각 30.0~38.1, 104.7~118.8, $0.1{\mu}gml^{-1}$였고, 수원19호는 각각 16.7~20.1, 59.9~72.7, $35.5{\sim}50.0{\mu}gml^{-1}$로 항산화 활성과 마찬가지로 변이폭이 작고, 시비량에 따른 뚜렷한 경향을 보이지 않았다. ASI와 항산화 활성은 옥수수의 수량과 정상관이 있었으며, 항산화 활성은 tocopherols, 페놀화합물의 함량과 정상관이 있었으나 carotenoids와는 상관관계가 없었다. 옥수수의 항산화 활성과 항산화성분 함량은 품종간 변이의 영향이 시비량에 의한 환경변이의 영향보다 큰 것으로 보인다.

The adoption of legume cover crops in no-tillage system can contribute to improve soil fertility by providing several benefits, including reduction in soil erosion, suppression of weed growth and N supply to subsequent crops. We conducted a field study to investigate the effect of cover crops and nitrogen fertilization rates on yield and nitrogen use efficiency of waxy corn (Zea mays L.) in no-tillage upland field. Two legume cover crops, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) and crimson clover (Trifolium incarnuturn L.) were mechanically terminated with roller in early June. For each cover crop treatment, nitrogen (N) fertilizer was applied at three different rates (145, 72.5 and $0kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$). The growth and yield characteristics of corn were significantly affected by the N fertilization rates in crimson clover plots, which suggest N mineralization from the cover crop residue was not sufficient. In contrast, N fertilization rates had no significant effect on growth and yield of corn in hairy vetch plots, indicating that the amount of N released from the cover crop is large enough to meet most of the N requirement of corn. However, the application of N fertilizer in hairy vetch cover plots resulted in slight increase of crop yield, though not statically significant, and high levels of N concentration in corn plant tissue possibly due to luxury consumption of N. Organic residues on the soil surface in hairy vetch cover plots had substantial amounts of N after harvest, ranging from 100 to $116kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$, which is presumably retained during winter season and released by microbial mineralization in subsequent year. The highest nitrogen yield efficiency was achieved in the plot with hairy vetch cover and no N fertilizer application, followed by the plot with hairy vetch cover and $72.5kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$ fertilization rate. In conclusion, hairy vetch showed better performance in corn productivity as compared with crimson clover. In addition, it was concluded that the application of N fertilizer between 0 and $72.5kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$ in combination with hairy vetch cover crop might be most efficient for corn yield under no-tillage system with climatic and soil characteristics similar to those of the experimental site.

We used Illumina/HiSeq sequencing for analysis of gene expression profiling among four maize seed types (dent, CM3 and CM6; waxy, CM5 and CM19) at 10 DAP (days after pollination). A total of 88,993,000 (CM3), 103,817,340 (CM6), 103,139,640 (CM5), and 66,978,958 (CM19) sequence reads were generated with read lengths of about 0.9, 1.0, 1.0, and 0.7 billion bp, respectively. We obtained 69.1 (CM3), 71.0 (CM6), 71.2 (CM5), and 71.8% (CM19) high quality reads from the raw data and compared them with reference RNA sequences in a public DB (NCBI). It was revealed that mapped reads were 58%, 63%, 62%, and 62% of the EST reference in CM3, CM6, CM5 and CM19, respectively; and more than 51,000 genes were expressed based on RPKM criteria (over 0.25 value) in each CM3, CM6, CM5, and CM19 inbred line. In differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis, we found that 3,527 genes were differentially expressed by at least two-fold with 1,709 upregulated in the two waxy inbred lines and 1,818 upregulated in the two dent inbred lines. We also detected genes for the sucrose and starch biosynthesis pathways based on BINs, and different expression patterns between waxy and dent inbred lines were shown for the gene set for starch synthesis, such as sh2, bt2, du1, wx1, and ae1. Although some genes were more expressed in dent lines, most genes for starch synthesis were much expressed in waxy lines. Especially, there was greater expression of the sus2 gene in both waxy lines compared with the dent lines.
