One of the main processes of tenderizing beef in Joseon Dynasty was chemical methods involving Apricot seeds, manchu cherry twig and leaves, bamboo skins, mulberry tree bark, mangsa (硭砂), salmiacum (磠砂), alcohol, fermented malt, and original honey. This study analyzed and compared the effect of broussonetia papyrifera, fermented malt, cherry trees, and mulberry tree bark from old cookbooks. Tenderizing beef with cherry trees was most effective in the experiment on shearing force, TPA, and electrophoresis of beef. According to sensory evaluation and electrophoresis test results, tenderized beef with mulberry tree bark was slightly more preferred over the method using cherry trees. However, in accordance with the above mentioned experiment, quantitative descriptive analysis showed that the most common tenderizing material was derived from morus alba powder.

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of a natural product of cherry tree (Prunus serrulata var. spontanea: PS) as a test substance for improving cytokine and ovalbumin-specific IgE using an ovalbumin-induced asthma disease model of 5-week-old male BALB/c mice. Lung tissue pathology was analyzed to confirm anti-inflammatory and asthmatic effects. As a result of examining the effect on changes in inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in an ovalbumin-induced asthma disease model by administering the PS sample, total cells, eosinophil, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and monocytes were significantly decreased. Concentrations of cytokine-based TNF-alpha and IL-4 and immunoglobulin E in serum were significantly increased in the asthma-inducing negative control group than in the normal group. However, high concentrations of PS decreased them. In histopathological examination of the lung tissue, it was confirmed that inflammatory cells infiltrated around the alveoli and bronchioles were increased in ovalbumin-induced asthma disease model. After administration of cherry tree extract, bronchiolar morphological changes such as mucosal thickening were slightly improved. From the above results, it was confirmed that extract of cherry tree significantly reduced inflammation expression and tissue damage in alveolar tissues. It was also confirmed that the cherry tree extract had an excellent efficacy in improving asthma inflammation.

Selenium (Se)-rich binary Cu-Se and In-Se nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a modified heat-up method at low temperature ($110^{\circ}C$) using the gum exudates from a cherry blossom tree. Coating of CISe absorber layer was carried out using Se-rich binary Cu-Se and In-Se NPs ink without the use of any external binder. Our results indicated that the gum used in the synthesis played beneficial roles such as reducing and capping agent. In addition, the gum also served as a natural binder in the coating of CISe absorber layer. The CISe absorber layer was integrated into the solar cell, which showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.37%. The possible reasons for low PCE of the present solar cells and the steps needed for further improvement of PCE were discussed. Although the obtained PCE is low, the present strategy opens a new path for the fabrication of eco-friendly CISe NPs solar cell by a relatively chief non-vacuum method.

From the soil biodiversity study, we found a species, Phauloppia lucorum (C.L. Koch, 1841) in the family of Oribatulidae (Acari: Oribatida) from the straw mat covering the cherry trees during winter in 2011. This species inhabiting litter and soil of forest, moss and lichens on tree and stones is distributed in the eastern Asia and western and central parts of Europe. In this paper, we illustrate the diagnostic features of a new species with detailed diagrammatic representations and its geographical distribution.

청정한 물환경에 대한 기대가 높아지는 시대에서, 관리가 쉽지 않은 비점오염원에서 발생하는 오염부하량을 산정하여 합리적인 국토관리를 도모할 수 있는 기초자료를 제시하였다. 연구는 2개소의 밭경작지를 대상으로 하였으며 고구마와 벚나무를 재배하는 비점오염원으로 각각 3년 동안에 걸쳐 강우사상을 모니터링 하였다. 오염부하량에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 인자는 강우량으로 50 < rainfall (mm)의 강우사상에서는 100% 강우유출량이 발생하여 오염물질을 발생하였다. 그러나 30 < rainfall (mm) ${\leq}50^a$와 10 < rainfall (mm) ${\leq}30^b$에서는 강우유출수에 의한 오염부하에는 작물의 재배방법과 토양의 특성 등이 결정인자로 작용되어, 작물성장이 현저한 벚나무경작지에서 강우유출수 발생빈도는 a : 60%, b : 5%로 고구마경작지에서의 강우유출수 발생빈도보다 낮았으며, 이로 인해 오염부하량도 적었다. 반면, 고구마경작지에서의 강우유출수 발생빈도는 a : 80%, b : 15%로 나타났다.

Living systems constantly suffer from atmospheric reactive oxygen species and also produce inevitably them by the course of metabolism. Therefore, antioxidants play important roles in protecting the systems from various diseased caused by them. In this study, we investigated various tinged autumnal leaves as antioxidant sources. Among the, the red leaf extracts of Acer Palmatum THUNBERG.(Aceraceae: maple tree) and Prunus Donarioum Sieb. Var. spontanea Makino(Rosaceae : cherry trees) showed the highest anti-oxidativities. The major antioxidants in their red leaves were isolated and identified as vitexin from maple leaves and isoscutellarein-4'-O-$\beta$-glucopyranoside from cherry leaves. Finally, we evaluated the efficacy of skin care products containing the extracts by human use study. As a result, the tinged leaves of maple and cherry trees were evaluated as good antioxidant sources on the bases of antioxidativities, cytotoxicities, cell proliferation effects and human use study.

A simple and reliable procedure for RT-PCR detection of Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), Cherry rasp leaf virus (CRLV), and Cherry necrotic rusty mottle virus (CNRMV) was developed. Two virus specific primer sets for each virus were found to specifically detect each virus among fourteen sets of designed oligonucleotide primers. Total RNAs extracted from healthy and from ASPV-,CRLV- and CNRMV-infected plant tissues were used to synthesize cDNA using oligo dT primer and then amplified by virus-specific primers for each virus. Each primer specifically amplified DNA fragments of 578 bp and 306 bp products for ASPV (prAS CP-C and prAS CP-N primers, respectively); 697 bp and 429 bp products for CRLV (prCR4 and prCR5-JQ3D3 primers, respectively); and 370 bp and 257 bp products for CNRMV (prCN4 and prCN6-NEG 1 primers, respec-tively) by RT-PCR. DNA sequencing of amplified DNA fragments confirmed the nature of each amplified DNA. Altogether, these results suggest that these virus specific primer sets can specifically amplify viral sequences in infected tissues and thus indicate that they can be used for specific detection of each virus.

In phylogenetic tree construction the neighbor-joining algorithm is the most well known method which constructs a trivalent tree from a pairwise distance data measured by DNA sequences. The core part of the algorithm is its cherry picking criterion based on the tree structure of each quartet. We give a generalized version of the criterion based on the exact box model of quartets, known as the tight span of a metric. We also show by experiment why neighbor-joining and the quartet consistency count method give similar performance.

Biochar is a solid carbon material made by pyrolyzing a biomass under limited oxygen conditions. Biochar has been reported to confer various benefits, such as increased soil productivity, pollutant absorption, and reduced greenhouse gas. In this study, oak pyrolyzed at 600℃ for 3 hours was either powdered or pelleted. Each of the biochar types was added to the soil at a rate of 2%. The control did not receive any biochar while a combination of the biochar and NPK treatment (biochar 2% + NPK) was also included. The cherry tomatoes were grown in greenhouse pots for 50 days to compare the growth characteristics of the different treatments. The cherry tomato with the powdered biochar 2% + NPK treatment had the heaviest plant fresh shoot weight of 276.4 g and the highest chlorophyll content of 59.3 SPAD. The control had the lightest plant fresh shoot weight of 44.2 g and a chlorophyll content of 26.5 SPAD. Both forms of biochar affected the chemical properties of the soil, increased the pH, electrical conductivity, available phosphate, total carbon and total nitrogen and positively influenced the cherry tomato growth and productivity. From the above results, therefore, both biochar forms are suited for use as soil amendments.
