The crystal transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II during alkaline swelling of waste wood, which has been used for cultivating oak mushroom(Cortinellus edodes (Berk.) Ito et Imai), was investigated and compared to that of normal wood by a series of X-ray diffraction analysis. When the sapwood of cultivated wood was treated with 20% NaOH solution for 2 hours, the cellulose I can be easily transformed into Na-cellulose I than normal wood or heartwood of cultivated wood. Certainly the formation of Na-cellulose in wood is proportional to alkali swelling duration, and the formation of cultivated sapwood was faster than that of the other woods. Cellulose I in the sapwood of cultivated wood was easily transformed into cellulose II during mercerization, but the sapwood of normal wood and the heartwood of cultivated wood hardly converted to cellulose II. Namely, most of Na-cellulose I in normal wood can be reconverted to cellulose I in the process of washing and drying. Therefore, it can be concluded from this study that in cell wall lignin and hemicellulose can prevent the alkaline swelling of cellulose in wood and the transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II as well.

The phase transformation from cellulose I into cellulose II in woods by way of Na-cellulose I was examined by x-ray diffraction analysis.The formation of Na-cellulose I in woods increased with the increase of treating time in alkali solution. When compression wood was treated with 20% NaOH solution at room temperature for 1 day, the x-ray diagram showed only Na-cellulose I. On the other hand, the x-ray diagram of tension wood showed a mixture of cellulose I and Na-cellulose I. Cellulose I of tension wood could not be transformed completely into Na-cellulose I even after 10-day treatment, but was transformed into Na-cellulose I after 30-day treatment. Na-cellulose I of compression and tension woods was converted to the cellulose I pattern and the mixture of cellulose I and cellulose II, respectively, after washing with water and drying at 20℃. Cellulose I regenerated from Na-cellulose I in wood could not be converted to cellulose II by delignification. Thus, it revealed that the delignification of the alkali-treated wood did not affect their cellulose structures. From the results, therefore, it can be concluded that lignin in woods prevents the formation of the stable Na-cellulose I and the conversion from cellulose I to cellulose II. This means that the conversion of chain polarity of wood cellulose hardly occurs during mercerization because cellulose microfibrils are fixed by lignin which not to be intermingled.

Fine and alkali-swollen structures of native cellulose fibers were investigated by x-ray diffraction methods. The results of fine structures are shown in Table 1. In meridional x-ray diffractograms, the relative intensity ratio R of (002) to (004) for cellulose I was ca. 0.05 and for regenerated cellulose it was ca. 0.45. It was considered that the transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II resulted from the packing or conformational change of cellulose chain. Finally. although cellulose I was not detected in the alkali-swollen celluloses treated for 1 hr to 24 hrs, washing and drying them resulted in the generation of considerable amounts of cellulose I and the amount decreased with increasing alkali duration.

목재 세포벽중의 셀룰로오스의 알칼리 팽윤구조는 리그닌에 의해 크게 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 알칼리 팽윤특성에 관한 리그닌의 영향을 명확히 하기 위하여 신갈나무의 정상재 및 부후재를 이용하여 X선 회절법과 자외선 현미경법에 의해 검토하였다. 그 결과, 목재 셀룰로오스는 고농도의 알칼리 수용액 중에서 머서화 처리를 하여도 결정변태가 일어나지 않으며 탈리그닌 후에도 결정의 변화는 없었다. 즉, 목재세포벽중의 셀롤로오스 결정은 리그닌의 존재에 의해 알칼리 팽윤이 억제되어 결정의 변태는 발생하지 않으며 탈리그닌 후에도 결정의 구조는 변화되지 않는 것으로 생각되었다.

The process by which Agrobacterium tumefaciens genetically transforms plants involves a complex series of reactions communicated between the pathogen and the plants. To identify plant factors involved in agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation, a large number of T-DNA inserted Arabidopsis thaliana mutant lines were investigated for susceptibility to Agrobacterium infection by using an in vitro root inoculation assay. Based on the phenotype of tumorigenesis, twelve T-DNA inserted Arabidopsis mutants(rat) that were resistant to Agrobacterium transformation were found. Three mutants, rat1, rat3, and rat4 were characterized in detail. They showed low transient GUS activity and very low stable transformation efficiency compared to the wild-type plant. The resistance phenotype of rat1 and rats resulted from decreased attachment of Agrobacterium tumefaciens to inoculated root explants. They may be deficient in plant actors that are necessary for bacterial attachment to plant cells. The disrupted genes in rat1, rat3, and rat4 mutants were coding a arabinogalactan protein, a likely cell wall protein and a cellulose synthase-like protein, respectively.

Herein, sulfonated carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been prepared in dilute sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) via a novel sulfonation approach based on gas-liquid interfacial plasma (GLIP) at room temperature. The sulfonic acid groups and total acid groups densities of CNT after GLIP treatment in 2 M H₂SO₄ for 45 min can reach to 0.53 mmol/g and 3.64 mmol/g, which is higher than that of sulfonated CNT prepared under 0.5 M / 1 M H₂SO₄. The plasma sulfonated CNT has been applied as catalysts for the conversion of microcrystalline cellulose to glucose. The effect of hydrolysis temperature and hydrolysis time on the conversion rate and product distribution have been discussed. It demonstrates that the total conversion rate of cellulose increasing with hydrolysis temperature and hydrolysis time. Furthermore, the GLIP sulfonated CNT prepared in 2 M H₂SO₄ for 45 min has shown high catalytic stability of 85.73 % after three cycle use.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were successfully isolated from oil palm fronds (OPFs) using different concentrations of ammonium persulfate (APS), and their characteristics were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). APS oxidation effectively isolated CNCs with rod-like morphology in nanometer scale. The dimensions of the CNCs decreased with increasing APS concentration. FTIR and XRD analyses revealed that all the CNCs showed crystals in the form of cellulose I without crystal transformation occurring during APS treatment. The relative crystallinity of the CNCs increased with increasing APS concentration, whereas their thermal stability decreased. An APS concentration of 2 M was found to be optimal for isolating the CNCs.

In the past, facile dissolution of cellulose has been hampered by the lack of suitable nondegrading solvents. Recently, this problem has been solved in our laboratory by the discovery of an inexpensive, convenient solvent system, that is the mixture of $NH_3\;and\;NH_4SCN$, for cellulose. Also, the $cellulose/NH_3/NH_4SCN$ solution system has been found to form the anisotropic, i.e., liquid crystalline phase. It is believed that both the cholesterio and the nematic phase occur. This finding has prompted extensive on-going researoh on the formation of the liquid crystalline phase from an inexpensive natural source such as cellulose since the nematic phase is envisioned as an excellent precursor sources for products with desirable properties, for example, high modulus and high strength. This interest naturally leads to a desire to understand the theological properties of the nematic phase so that the transformation of the nematic phase to the solid state with desirable properties can be efficiently accomplished, ;From this point of view, the theological behavior of the $cellulose/NH3_/NH_4SCN$ system has been studied as a function of shear rate and shear stress over a wide range of solvent compositions, cellulose concentration, centrifugation and urea contents, Results indicate that the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate. A marked shear thinning behavior and a quasi-Newtonian behavior were observed in the low shear rate region and in the high shear rate region, respectively for all solvent compositions. The $cellulose/NH_3/NH_4SCN$ solution system only exhibited the viscosity increase with increasing cellulose concentration and failed to show the viscosity drop generally observed at the point of incipience of liquid crystal formation, This may be due to the gel-like nature of the solution by the association of the rodlike molecules into bundles which may serve as crosslinking points giving the cellulose solution a network structure. Also, simply hydrogen bonding may be so restrictive of molecular mobility that a viscosity drop is blocked. In addition to the above results, yield stress and thixotropy were also observed in the $cellulose/NH_3/NB_4SCN$ solution system which are characteristics of liquid crystal and gel, The results of the effect of centrifugation on viscosity show that viscosity decreases by the application of centrifugation. This may be explained by the change of the piled polydomain structure to the dispersed polydomain structure due to the pressure gradient generated during centrifugation.ation.

Leaf C:N ratio is a new factor in the field of biochemical inversion with hyperspectral data. Effects of common-used spectral transformations including log(R), log(1/R), 1/R, etc. from 400nm to 2490nm on its inversion are compared. Results show that their effects on statistical modeling are not apparent. Continuum removal is used on original reflectance in the range of 2030nm to 2220nm, in which exists an apparent absorption peak due to cellulose, lignin, protein, etc. The effect is distinctive and tends to improve the precision of C:N ratio inversion. Further, it is a robust and physically based transformation.

소나무(Pinus densiflora)재의 1차조직과 2차조직의 조직구조, 미세구조 및 머서화(mercerization)에 의한 셀룰로오스의 결정구조 변화를 검토하였다. 그 결과, 1차조직의 세포는 원형에 가깝고 내강이 크며 배열이 무질서한 데 비하여, 2차조직의 세포는 장방형이고 비교적 규칙적인 배열을 갖고 있다. 섬유장은 1차조직 $200{\sim}250{\mu}m$, 2차조직 $1,500{\sim}1,600{\mu}m$였으며, 내강경은 1차조직 $40{\sim}50{\mu}m$, 2차조직 $10{\sim}20{\mu}m$였다. 그리고 1차조직과 1차방사조직은 2차조직의 세포에 비해 미목화된 세포가 많았다. 1차조직과 2차조직에서 셀룰로오스 결정의 면간격과 미결정 폭의 차이는 없었으나 상대결정화도는 각각 23%와 35%로 다소 차이가 있었다. 배향성에 있어서 1차조직의 미결정은 무배향을 나타냈으나 2차조직의 미결정은 섬유축에 $20{\sim}30^{\circ}$의 배향성을 나타냈다. 머서화 과정 동안에 1차조직 셀룰로오스 결정은 셀룰로오스 II로 변화되었지만 2차조직의 셀룰로오스 결정은 거의 변화되지 않았다. 따라서 양 조직간의 결정변태의 차이는 목화 정도의 차이에 의한 리그닌의 영향으로 생각되었다.
