We investigated the Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) spectrum of ethephone (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid). We observed significant signals in the ordinary Raman spectrum for solid-state ethephone as well as when it was adsorbed on a colloidal silver surface, strong vibrational signals were obtained at a very low concentration. The SERS spectra were obtained by silver colloids that were prepared by the $\gamma$-irradiation method. The influence of pH and the influence of anion $(Cl^-,\;Br^-,\;I^-)$ on the adsorption orientation were investigated. Two different adsorption mechanisms were deduced, depending on the experimental conditions. The chlorine atom or the chlorine and two oxygen atoms were adsorbed on the colloidal silver surface. Among halide ions, $Br^-$ and $I^-$ were more strongly adsorbed on the colloidal silver surfaces. As a result, the adsorption of ethephone was less effective due to their steric hinderance.

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade is critical for regulating plant defense systems against various kinds of pathogen and environmental stresses. One component of this cascade, the MAP kinase kinases (MAPKK), has not yet been shown to be induced in plants following biotic attacks, such as those by insects and fungi. We describe here a gene coding for a blast (Magnaporthe grisea)- and insect (Nilaparvata lugens)-responsive putative MAPK kinase, OmMKK1 (Oryza minuta MAPKK 1), which was identified in a library of O. minuta expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Two copies of OmMKK1 are present in the O. minuta genome. They encode a predicted protein with molecular mass 39 kDa and pI of 6.2. Transcript patterns following imbibition of plant hormones such as methyl jasmonic acid (MeJA), ethephone, salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA), as well as exposure to methyl viologen (MV), revealed that the expression of OmMKK1 is related to defense response signaling pathways. A comparative analysis of OmMKK1 and its O. sativa ortholog OsMKK1 showed that both were induced by stress-related hormones and biotic stresses, but that the kinetics of their responses differed despite their high amino acid sequence identity (96%).

The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), is known to be one of the major insect herbivores of wheat worldwide. In order to provide molecular events on interactions of the NIL with H21 and larvae of Hessian fly biotype L, the TaCR1 gene, Triticum aestivum cytokinin repressed 1, was isolated through the suppression subtractive hybridization, which was constructed using stems of the NIL with H21 at 6 days after infestation as tester and stems of the recurrent parent Coker797 without H21 at 6 days after infestation as driver. Transcript levels of TaCR1 mRNA in the NIL with H21 were highest at 6 days after infestation but in the Coker797 without H21 until 8 days were similar with those of non-infested plants. Expression of the TaCR1 gene was decreased at early time and then recovered after wounding or $H_2O$$_2$ treatment as well as 6-BAP treatment. Transcripts levels of the TaCR1 gene was changed after MeJA, SA, ethephone, or ABA treatment. In drought treatment, the TaCRl gene were increased at early stage of stress and then decreased at late stage. Expression of the TaCRl gene was continued to decrease through 24 h in the cold treatment. Although the TaCRl gene is increased through infestation in NIL with H21, further study was required to elucidate a role on resistance against larvae of Hessian fly. However, the TaCR1 gene could be used as marker gene on response of plants against abiotic stresses as well as application of plants with several hormones.

This study was carried out to establish optimal conditions for breaking dormancy of Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze seeds. A series of experiments according to seed maturity and treatment with plant growth regulators were performed to improve germination percentage and synchronize germination of the seeds. In addition, it was conducted to test whether the useful effect of seed treatment before sowing leads to healthy seedling and early vigorous growth. The average seed size was 1.85 mm (length) × 0.82 mm(width). The seed size was much smaller than other vegetable seeds. Seeds colorappeared dark brown, the shape of the seeds was oval and the weight of 1,000seeds was 352.8 mg. The optimum germination temperature was 22℃. Light exposure during germination did not affect germination promotion, suggesting that A. rugosa seeds are a kind of dark germinating seeds. Seed dormancy lasted for 40 days after harvesting, and GA3 treatment of dormant seeds could break dormancy. There were significant differences in germination percentage and rate according to the maturity of seeds. The germination percentage of mature seeds was 10 - 18% higher than that of immature seeds, and germination rate was 2 days faster. GA3 treatment during growth regulator treatment improved germinability, but BAP or ethephone treatment did not. The optimal growth regulator concentration of for germination was the combination treatment of 100 mM GA3 ＋ 100 mM BAP.

콩은 중요한 식량 작물로 단백질, 기름 및 이차대사산물인 이소플라본을 다량으로 함유하고 있다. 이소플라본은 폴리페놀의 일종으로 일부 암을 예방하며 심혈관 질환을 완화하는 데에도 도움을 준다고 알려져 있다. 콩에 인위적으로 식물호르몬인 ABA를 처리할 때 이차대사산물인 kaempferol의 함량이 증가한다고 보고 되었다. 따라서 이 연구는 식물 생장조정제 처리가 콩잎의 이소플라본 함량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 연구는 밀양 남부작물부 유리온실에서 수행되었으며, 콩(품종:선풍)은 와그너포트 1/2000에 1주 2본 파종하여 재배하였다. Ethephone(500, 1000, 2000 ppm)과 ABA(100, 200, 400 ppm)를 사용하였으며 각각 R2, R5, R7기에 처리하였다. 처리 후 잎을 5일 간격으로 3회 채취하여 이소플라본 6종과 쿠메스트롤의 함량을 분석하였다. 초고성능 액체 크로마토그래피(Acquity UPLC H-Class system, Waters)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 이소플라본 함량은 R5 단계에서 전반적으로 높게 나타났으며, R2 및 R7 단계에서는 무처리와 유사한 수준을 보였다. ABA를 처리하였을 때 생장조정제 간의 차이가 에테폰보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 쿠메스트롤 함량은 처리시간에 따라 R7, R5, R2 순으로 높은 것으로 확인되었으며, 처리시간이 지날수록 함량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 생장조정제 처리에 쿠메스트롤 함량은 ABA보다 에세폰 처리 시 더 높은 경향을 보였다.

2,4-D를 비롯한 9종의 식물생장조절제를 선발하여 벼 도열병에 대한 방제 효과를 실험하였다. 각각의 식물생장조절제를 $500\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$의 농도로 조절하여 벼의 유묘에 경엽처리하였을 경우, 2,4-D만 98.9%의 효과를 보였을 뿐, 나머지의 식물생장조절제는 50% 이하의 낮은 효과, 또는 무처리구보다도 높은 발병율을 보였다. 하지만 토양에 관주처리하였을 경우에는 2,4-D, indole butyric acid, triiodebenzoic acid가 98.9, 97.8, 88.9%의 효과를 보였으며, ethephone과 abscisic acid는 50%의 효과를 보였다. IBA를 토양 관주처리하였을 때 벼 도열병에 대한 효과는 처리한 농도에 비례하였는데, 125와 $250\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$의 처리에서는 벼 도열병의 발생을 71.7과 85.8% 억제하였다. 벼 성체 식물에 2.56 kg/10a의 수준으로 토양 관주처리하였을 경우에는 63.9%의 방제효과를 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 IBA는 토양 관주처리에 의해서 벼 도열병에 대한 효과가 우수한 것으로 판명되었다.
