  • Plants have evolved strategies to cope with drought stress by maximizing physiological capacity and adjusting developmental processes such as flowering time. The WOX13 orthologous group is the most conserved among the clade of WOX homeodomain-containing proteins and is found to function in both drought stress and flower development. In this study, we isolated and characterized OsWOX13 from rice. OsWOX13 was regulated spatially in vegetative organs but temporally in flowers and seeds. Overexpression of OsWOX13 (OsWOX13-ov) in rice under the rab21 promoter resulted in drought resistance and early flowering by 7-10 days. Screening of gene expression profiles in mature leaf and panicles of OsWOX13-ov showed a broad spectrum of effects on biological processes, such as abiotic and biotic stresses, exerting a cross-talk between responses. Protein binding microarray and electrophoretic mobility shift assay analyses supported ATTGATTG as the putative cis-element binding of OsWOX13. OsDREB1A and OsDREB1F, drought stress response transcription factors, contain ATTGATTG motif(s) in their promoters and are preferentially expressed in OsWOX13-ov. In addition, Heading date 3a and OsMADS14, regulators in the flowering pathway and development, were enhanced in OsWOX13-ov. These results suggest that OsWOX13 mediates the stress response and early flowering and, thus, may be a regulator of genes involved in drought escape.

  • Maize is one of the most important food and feed crops in the world including Southeast Asia. In spite of numberous efforts with conventional breeding, the maize productions remain low and the loss of yields by drought and downy mildew are still severe in Asia. Genetic improvement of maize has been performed with molecular marker and genetic engineering. Because maize is one of the most widely studied crop for its own genome and has tremendous diversity and variant, maize is considered as a forefront crop in development and estimation of molecular markers for agricultural useful trait in genetics and breeding. Using QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) and MAS (Marker Assisted Breeding), molecular breeders are able to accelerate the development of drought tolerance or downy mildew resistance maize genotype. The present paper overviews QTL/MAS approaches towards improvement of maize production against drought and downy mildew. We also discuss here the trends and importance of molecular marker and mapping population in maize breeding.

  • 본 연구는 한국잔디류 5개 기본종, 상업종, 품종, 육종계통을 포함한 잔디류에 대하여 내한성 및 생육속도를 조사한 것이다. 실험은 총 41종의 한국잔디류를 사용하여 경기북부지역과 중부지역에서 적응실험을 수행하였다. 조사는 내한성(겨울철 생존율), 늦가을 녹색률, 이른봄 녹색률, 밀도, 생육속도 등을 가시적으로 평가하였다. 경기북부(적성면) 내한성 시험에서는 41종의 잔디 중 Z. matrella, Z. tenuifolia, USm, S4M2의 4종($9.7\%$)이 동사하였으며 나머지 37($90.3\%$)종은 생존하였다. 또한 식재 1년 후 생육이 가장 왕성한 계통으로 Anyang1, Samdeock1, Anyang2, SJ21, Pyeongdong 등을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이들은 모두 Z. sinica와 Z. macrostachya의 유전적 특성을 갖고 있는 중엽형 잔디들이었다. 중부지역(천안)에서 월동 후 생존한 잔디는 29종($70.7\%$)으로 나타났고, 고사한 잔디는 12종($29.3\%$)으로 나타났다. 경기도 적성 지역에 비해 천안에서 고사잔디가 많았던 이유는 천안 실험이 용기 조건에서 수행된 것으로 동해와 더불어 건조 피해가 심했던 것으로 생각된다. 동해와 건조 피해에도 불구하고 생존율이 높았던 잔디로는 Anyang2, AJ9-7, Samdeock1, Samdeock2, Samdeock3, 그리고 Zenith-C 등 이었다. 반면에 적성지역에서 생육이 양호했던 SJ2-19, NSm, 88Mey, 88Mey-75, 88Mey-9S SJ21-10, ASm, DBm 등은 천안실험에서 고사한 것으로 보아 한국잔디류는 동해보다는 겨울철 건조에 의한 피해가 높은 것으로 생각된다.

  • Background: Plants over-expressing Arabidopsis ABF3 (abscisic acid-responsive element-binding factor 3) have enhanced tolerance to various environmental stresses, especially drought. Using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis, we compared the rhizosphere-associated structures of microbial communities for transgenic potato containing this gene and conventional "Jopoong" plants. Results: During a 2-year field experiment, fungal richness, evenness, and diversity varied by year, increasing in 2010 when a moderate water deficit occurred. By contrast, the bacterial richness decreased in 2010 while evenness and diversity were similar in both years. No significant difference was observed in any indices for either sampling time or plant line. Although the composition of the microbial communities (defined as T-RF profiles) changed according to year and sampling time, differences were not significant between the transgenic and control plants. Conclusions: The results in this study suggest that the insertion of ABF3 into potato has no detectable (by current T-RFLP technique) effects on rhizosphere communities, and that any possible influences, if any, can be masked by seasonal or yearly variations.

  • The purpose of this study was to assess drought tolerance of groundcover plants for extensive green roof. Form July to November 2013, plant height, chlorophyll content, soil moisture, evapotranspiration and survival rate was measured. As results, after unirrigation started, Aster koraiensis reached 0% of soil moisture earliest followed by Sedum kamtschaticum, Hemerocallis fulva, Hylotelephium spectabile, Iris sanguinea, Hosta longipes and control. Among the plants, A. koraiensis withered earliest on 19th day of unirrigation experiment, followed by H. longipes and H. fulva (27th day); and I. sanguinea (29th day). S. kamtschaticum and H. spectabile survived even after 120th day of the experiment. As for chlorophyll content, I. sanguinea showed constant values in early stage than rapidly decreased right before its withering. Chlorophyll content of A. koraiensis and H. fulva showed rapid decrease from the beginning, while that of H. spectabile and S. kamtschaticum showed continuous reduction for first 30 days and the reduction was slowed down since then. In conclusion, H. longipes, I. sanguinea and H. fulva were found most applicable for extensive green roof considering scenic aspect.

  • These studies were carried out (1) to investigate the growth characteristics of Sedum album L. in the field, (2) to propose a suitable shallow peen roof system for this plant, and (3) to evaluate plant growth in the proposed system over the long term. The growth characteristics, such as morphological properties, growth habit, shade tolerance, and flowering, were surveyed. In experimental shallow green-roof systems, the effects of drainage type, substrate type, and soil depth on plant growth were investigated. Then drought tolerance was investigated. After planting Sedum album L. in the proposed system survival rate, cover, and resistance to insects, heal and cold were evaluated for about 2 years. The results of these studies are summarized below. 1. In the field, the aboveground part of Sedum album L. did not die back during the winter. Plant height was 4$\sim$7 cm. Roots were distributed to a depth of 5$\sim$7 cm. Sedum album L. is a compact ground-cover plant that spreads vigorously. Shading condition of less than $30\%$ of full sunlight didn't cause any trouble, but shading conditions above $87\%$ made the shape of the shoots and leaves abnormal. The plant bloomed from June to August and had a rather large compound umbel of white, star-shaped flowers. 2. Two systems, a drainage-blend-10 cm soil depth and a reservoir$\cdot$drainage-blend-15 cm soil depth, performed best in terms of cover, fresh weight, and dry weight. The first has an advantage for green roofs because it is lighter than the latter. 3. In drainage-blend-10 m soil depth and modified reservoir · drainage-blend-10 cm soil depth system no plants died for about 4 months after stopping the irrigation. The visual quality of the latter system was above 5 for 4 months and that of the former was under 5 after 2 months. In the field, however, the drought tolerance of Sedum album L. grown in the former would be enough to withstand the dry season. Considering the urban ecosystem and the importance of healthy growth the modified reservoir $\cdot$ drainage-blend-10 cm soil depth system was finally recommended. This system was composed of a 4 cm thick drainage layer and drain outlets placed at a height of 2.5 cm. 4. In the proposed system, the survival rate was $100\%$, and there was no injury induced by insects and heat. The leaf density decreased a little in winter. Cover increased throughout the year. Sedum album L. was planted with a cover of 72$cm^{2}$ on 3 April 2003; on 16 June 2003 and 15 June 2004, cover was $132.66\pm$5.87 $cm^{2}$(1.8 times) and $886.98\pm$63.51 $cm^{2}$(12.3 times), respectively.

  • 식물이 접하는 다양한 환경 스트레스(고온, 저온, 냉해, 고염, 가뭄 등) 중에서 물부족(가뭄) 스트레스는 식물의 생장 및 생산성을 저해하는 가장 주요한 요인으로 보고되어 왔다. 그러므로, 물부족 스트레스에 대한 식물의 반응 기작을 명확히 이해하는 것은 물부족 스트레스 저항성이 증가된 유용 작물 개발에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 그 결과 작물 재배 가능 지역의 확대에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 식물의 물부족 스트레스 신호 과정은 크게 식물 호르몬인 앱시스산 의존적인 과정과 비의존적인 과정으로 분류되며, 각각 AREB/ABF, DREB2 전사 조절 인자가 주요한 전사 조절 인자로 참여하여 하위 단계 반응 유전자의 발현 조절에 참여한다. 이러한 AREB/ABF, DREB2 의존적인 regulon에 대한 연구를 통해 물부족 스트레스 신호 과정 중 전사 수준의 조절에 대한 규명이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 해당 신호 과정에는 전사 수준의 조절뿐만 아니라 인산화, 유비퀴틴화와 같은 번역 후 변형 과정 및 염색질 변형에 의해 매개되는 후성유전학적 조절도 연관되어 있다. 본 총설에서는 현재까지 보고된 물부족 스트레스 신호 전달 과정을, 이와 관련되어 보고된 다양한 신호 전달 단백질들의 기능과 연계시켜 알아보고자 한다. 이러한 물부족 스트레스 신호 전달 과정에 대한 명확한 이해는 향후 유용 내건성 작물 개발을 위한 이론적 기반 구축에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

  • The appropriate level of irrigation for turfgrasses is vital to the performance of the turfgrass as well as conservation of water. Linear gradient irrigation system (LGIS) facilitates long-term study of turf performance under continuous irrigation gradients at extreme ends of the irrigation scale. The objectives of this study were to: a) determine the minimum irrigation requirements and relative drought resistance in three warm season turfgrasses; and b) evaluate the medium to long-term effects of irrigation levels on turf persistence, weed invasion, and susceptibility to diseases. Results suggest that grasses differed in drought resistance and persistence under variable irrigation regimes. Irrigation (Ep) required for consistent acceptable turf quality for respective grasses was Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis (61%), Zoysia matrella L. Merr (73%), and Stenotaphrum secundatum 'Palmetto' (86%). Brown patch infection was most prevalent in Stenotaphrum secundatum 'Palmetto' at 12 and 125% Ep irrigation. Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis and Zoysia matrella L. Merr were better able to adapt to the various irrigation regimes, and this ability allowed these species to resist drought, and maintain turf coverage which in turn, kept weeds and the occurrence of diseases at bay. Ranking these grasses for their drought tolerance abilities showed that Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis had the most outstanding resistance against drought, followed by Zoysia matrella L. Merr, and lastly, Stenotaphrum secundatum 'Palmetto'. Despite having the highest irrigation requirement, Stenotaphrum secundatum 'Palmetto' was still not able to maintain persistence at high irrigation regimes. Likewise, this grass also lost turf coverage at low irrigation levels.

  • 본 연구에서는 21개 국내외 옥수수 수집종에 대한 유묘기와 성숙기의 대표적 환경 스트레스인 한발 스트레스에 대해 반응하는 형태적, 유전적 근연관계를 분석하였다. 유묘기 잎말림은 5단계로 나누어 평가하였으며, ASI는 수염이 출사하기 시작한 날과 화분이 비산하기 시작한 날의 차이로 산정하였다. 유묘기 잎말림의 경우 4 이상의 수준을 보이면 회복이 불가하며 2, 3 정도의 수준은 정상적인 잎으로 회복이 가능하다. 따라서 유묘기 잎말림이 2 미만의 수준을 보인다면 한발 내성 품종으로 평가할 수 있다. 또한, ASI는 한발 스트레스를 처리할 경우 3~7일 증가한다고 보고 되었으며 ASI가 3일에서 11일로 증가할 경우 수확량이 71% 감소한다고 보고 되어있다. 따라서 한발 스트레스를 처리했을때 ASI가 5일 이하이고, 대조구에 비해 실험구의 ASI가 3일 이하로 증가했다면 한발 내성 품종으로 평가할 수 있다. 한발조건에서의 유묘기 잎말림과 ASI 간의 상관분석 결과 피어슨 상관계수값은 -0.006으로 서로 연관이 없는 독립적인 특성인 것으로 나타났다. 21품종 중 한발 내성 품종 선발결과 CML228, Ki11 및 CML322가 높은 한발 내성을 지니고 있는 것으로 평가되었다. CML228과 CML322는 국내 품종과의 산포도가 높으나 Ki11은 매우 가까운 관계를 보여주고 있기 때문에 한발에 대한 내성 품종인 Ki11의 유전적 특징을 국내 품종에 활용하는 것이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
