미성숙의 Germinal Vesicle(GV 단계에서 성숙한 Metaphase II(MII) 단계가 되는 난자성숙 과정은 핵과 세포질의 성숙을 통해 이루어지며, 이를 통해 수정과 배 발달을 할 수 있는 능력을 갖게 된다. GV 난자는 prophase I 단계에 arrest 되어 있다가 meiosis 과정을 거쳐 성숙한 MII로 되는데 이를 조절하는 기작에 대해서는 거의 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 미성숙 난자와 성숙 난자간의 유전자 발현의 차이를 동정함으로써 난자성숙에 관여하는 유전인자를 밝히고자 하였다. GV와 MII 난자에서 mRNA를 정제한 후 ACP System을 이용하여 두 그룹간의 유전자 발현 차이를 분석하여 양적으로 서로 다르게 발현하거나 한쪽에서만 특이적으로 발현하는 유전자를 cloning하여 Sequencing과 BLAST search를 통해 분석하였다. ACP 1번부터 20번까지를 사용하여 32개의 유전자를 찾았으며 이중 26개가 기능적으로 알려진 유전자였다. Pscd2를 포함한 4개의 유전자는 GV에 특이적으로 발현하였고, PKD2와 CSN3를 포함하는 10개의 유전자는 GV에서 더 높게 발현하였으며 Diva를 포함하는 12개의 유전자는 MII에서 더 높게 발현하였다. 본 연구를 통해 분석된 모든 유전자는 난자에서의 발현은 보고되지 않은 것으로 ACP System을 통해 최초로 동정되었으며 특히 PKD-CSN Signaling pathway가 난자에서 발현함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 난자 성숙 과정에서 서로 다르게 발현하는 유전인자를 성공적으로 동정하였으며 향후 이들의 기능을 연구함으로써 난자성숙 조절기전을 연구하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

토양입단은 물리화학, 생물학적 인자의 종합적 결과로 토양 중 탄소행동과 물질이동 해석에 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 습식체별에 안정한 대입단(>지름 0.25mm)과 토양특성과의 관계를 15개 토양을 대상으로 살펴보았다. 토양은 먼저 깊이 0-10cm에서 통기성을 현장측정한 후 3인치 코아 5반복으로 채취하여 습식체별에 안정한 대입단과 토양이화학성을 분석하였다. 대상토양의 점토함량은 1~33%범위였고 토지이용은 과수, 일년생 밭작물(채소, 옥수수), 초지를 비롯하여 도로변 나지 등이었다. 습식체별에 안정한 대입단은 점토함량 2%이하의 사토에서 함량이 0%로 낮고, 사토를 제외한 토양에서 일년생 작물을 재배하는 밭이 27~35%, 과수원 51%, 초지 75%의 순으로 나타났다. 이는 경운 등의 토양교란정도와 연관이 깊은 것으로 보인다. 습식체별에 안정한 대입단은 양이온치환용량, 유기물함량, 모래, 점토, 미사, 용적밀도, 그리고 교환성 K, Mg와 유의한 상관을 나타내었으나 pH, EC 및 수용성 인 등의 토양특성은 상관이 유의하지 않았다. 특히 교환성 칼슘의 경우, 칼슘 과포화 토양을 제외하였을 때 내수성입단함량과 유의한 상관을 보였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 습식체별에 안정한 대입단은 토지이용과 토양특성을 반영하나 칼슘 과포화도 및 토성간의 차이를 고려해서 파악해야 함을 제안한다 하겠다.

이산화탄소 등 온실가스의 농도 증가로 인한 지구온난화 에 따른 기후의 변화 및 환경적 영향이 증가하고 있으며 토양내 유기탄소의 축적을 통해 대기 중 이산화탄소등 온실 가스의 감축을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법들이 연구되어 보고되고 있으나, 우리나라의 논의 경우에는 토양유기탄소의 토양 축적에 관한 연구가 매우 적게 보고되고 있다. 따라서 우리나라 주요 경지 이용형태인 논에 대해서도 토양중 탄소를 축적할 수 있는 토양관리 방법의 연구가 매우 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구는 농촌진흥청 농업과학기술원 동일비료 및 개량제 처리 장기시험 포장에서 퇴비, NPK 비료, 석회, 및 규산등의 처리구별 토양유기탄소의 동태를 분석하였다. 연구결과 인산, 칼리 및 석회의 시용은 장기간 시용한 이후에 처리한 구에서 미처리구에서 보다 토양유기탄소의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 한편 퇴비 시용구의 경우 퇴비 미시용구에서 보다 퇴비 시용구에서 토양유기탄소의 함량이 지속적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 시간이 지날수록 유기탄소축적비율도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 단일 논 작부체계하에서 장기간 지속적인 퇴비의 시용 결과 토양 중 유기탄소의 효과적인 축적이 이루어 졌다. 따라서 우리나라 논에서 중 유기탄소의 축적을 위하여 퇴비의 지속적인 시용을 제안하고자 한다.

Different factors may affect the sensitivity of porcine oocytes during cryopreservation. The effect of two methods (cooling and vitrification), four cryoprotectants [glycerol (GLY), 1, 2-propanediol (PROH), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or ethylene glycol (EG)] and two vitrification media (1 M sucrose (SUC)+8 M EG; 8 M EG) on the developmental capacity of porcine oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage or after IVM at the metaphase II (M II) stage were examined. Survival was assessed by FDA staining, maturation and cleavage following IVF and IVC. A toxicity test for different cryoprotectants (GLY, PROH, DMSO, EG) was conducted at room temperature before cooling. GV and M II-oocytes were equilibrated stepwise in 1.5 M cryoprotectant and diluted out in sucrose. The survival rate of GV-oocytes in the GLY group was significantly lower (82%, p<0.01) than that of the other group (92 to 95%). The EG group achieved a significantly higher maturation rate (84%, p<0.05) but a lower cleavage rate (34%, p<0.01) than the DMSO group and the controls. For M II-oocytes, the survival rates for all groups were 95 to 99% and the cleavage rate of the GLY group was lower than the PROH-group (21 vs 43%, p<0.01). After cooling to $10^{\circ}C$, the survival rates of GV-oocytes in the cryoprotectant groups were 34 to 51%, however, the maturation rates of these oocytes were low (1%) and none developed after IVF. For M II-oocytes, the EG group showed a significantly higher survival rate than those of the other cryoprotectant groups (40% vs 23-26%, p<0.05) and the cleavage rates of PROH, DMSO and EG group reached only 1 to 2%. For a toxicity test of different vitrification media, GV and M II-oocytes were equilibrated stepwise in 100% 8 M EG (group 1) and 1 M SUC + 8 M EG (group 2) or equilibrated in sucrose and then in 8 M EG (SUC+8 M EG, group 3). For GV-oocytes, the survival, maturation and cleavage rates of Group 1 were significantly lower than those in group 2, 3 and control group (p<0.05). For M II-oocytes, there were no differences in survival, maturation and cleavage rates between groups. After vitrification, the survival rates of GV and M II-oocytes in group 2 and 3 were similarly low (4-9%) and none of them matured nor cleaved after in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture. In conclusion, porcine GV and M II-oocytes do not seem to be damaged by a variety of cryoprotectants tested, but will succumb to a temperature decrease to $10^{\circ}C$ or to the process of vitrification, regardless of the cryoprotectant used.

A series of experiments were conducted to determine the suitable freezing and thawing temperatures for the freezing of boar semen in 5 ml maxi-straws. The ultrastructure, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and artificial insemination (AI) of frozen-thawed semen were also be evaluated. The 5 cm freezing height gave the best results not only in post-thaw motility rate (54.00%), but also in normal acrosome morphology rate (NAR) (80.23%). There was no significant difference in the post-thaw motility between different thawing temperatures and corresponding thawing times (p>0.05); the group of $52^{\circ}C$ and 25 s gave the highest motility rate (45.00%). As a whole, not only from the motility but also the NAR, thawing at $42^{\circ}C$ was better than the other two treatments. In the freezing packages, 5 ml maxi-straw gave a little lower mobility (40%), viability rate (49.58%), plasma membrane integrity rate (53.91%) and NAR (52.65%) than the 0.25 ml straw, but there was no significant difference between the two straw volumes (p>0.05). The IVF capacity of frozen-thawed semen in this experiment was similar to fresh semen. From ultrastructure observation, the main damage to boar spermatozoa after freezing was seen in the acrosome, such as swelling and formation of vesicles. After AI in recipient Shanghai White sows, frozen-thawed semen from 5 ml maxi-straws and pellets produced 72.2% and 80% conception rate and 7.8 and 8 litter sizes, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the 5 ml maxi-straw and the pellet (p>0.05).

Objective: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a major ingredient of catechin polyphenols and is considered one of the most promising bioactive compounds in green tea because of its strong antioxidant properties. However, the protective role of EGCG in bovine oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) has not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to study the effects of EGCG on IVM of bovine oocytes. Methods: Bovine oocytes were treated with different concentrations of EGCG (0, 25, 50, 100, and $200{\mu}M$), and the nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, cumulus cell expansion, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, total antioxidant capacity, the early apoptosis and the developmental competence of in vitro fertilized embryos were measured. The mRNA abundances of antioxidant genes (nuclear factor erythriod-2 related factor 2 [NRF2], superoxide dismutase 1 [SOD1], catalase [CAT], and glutathione peroxidase 4 [GPX4]) in matured bovine oocytes were also quantified. Results: Nuclear maturation which is characterized by first polar body extrusion, and cytoplasmic maturation characterized by peripheral and cortical distribution of cortical granules and homogeneous mitochondrial distribution were significantly improved in the $50{\mu}M$ EGCG-treated group compared with the control group. Adding $50{\mu}M$ EGCG to the maturation medium significantly increased the cumulus cell expansion index and upregulated the mRNA levels of cumulus cell expansion-related genes (hyaluronan synthase 2, tumor necrosis factor alpha induced protein 6, pentraxin 3, and prostaglandin 2). Both the intracellular ROS level and the early apoptotic rate of matured oocytes were significantly decreased in the $50{\mu}M$ EGCG group, and the total antioxidant ability was markedly enhanced. Additionally, both the cleavage and blastocyst rates were significantly higher in the $50{\mu}M$ EGCG-treated oocytes after in vitro fertilization than in the control oocytes. The mRNA abundance of NRF2, SOD1, CAT, and GPX4 were significantly increased in the $50{\mu}M$ EGCG-treated oocytes. Conclusion: In conclusion, $50{\mu}M$ EGCG can improve the bovine oocyte maturation, and the protective role of EGCG may be correlated with its antioxidative property.

This study was initiated to investigate soil chemical properties under different soil systems. Data such as soil acidity(pH), electrical conductivity(EC), organic matter content(OMC), and cation exchange capacity(CEC) were analyzed with samples from multi-layer, USGA, and mono-layer systems. N, P, K and micronutrients were also measured. Multi-layer system was built up to 60-cm depth with rootzone layer, intermediate layer and two drainage layers. USGA system 45 centimeters deep was constructed with rootzone layer, intermediate layer and drainage layer. Mono-layer system, however, was made only with a 30-cm rootzone layer. Differences were observed in soil pH, EC, OMC, CEC and micronutrients. Soil pH was acceptable for turfgrass growth a year after establishment, being 5.5 to 6.5 in the study. Differences were greatly observed for EC among soil systems. Values of EC for multi-layer, USGA, and mono-layer systems were 39.79, 31.26 and 103.54 uS/em, respectively. The increase rate was approximately 4 to 8 times greater with mono-layer system than those with other two systems. Therefore, it was necessary to avoid micronutrient deficiency such as Fe, Mn etc. through an effective management program in mono-layer system because of its faster potential feasibility of salt accumulation. The greatest OMC was associated with USGA system, being 0.97% which was 11% over that of the other systems. Slight differences were observed for CEC among them. Mono-layer system produced 1.45 me/100g, 10.3% and 8.9% lower in CEC than those of multi-layer and USGA system, respectively. Micronutrients such as Fe, Zn, and Mn etc. were below the level required for turf growth, regardless of soil systems. It was considered that one year after turf establishment was not enough to build up micronutrients in sand-based soil systems to the normal level for a turf growth. These results demonstrate that intensive management program including grow-in concept fertilization should be integrated into sand-based soil systems, even after a year in establishment. Regular nutrient monitoring by soil analyses is a strong necessity to decide the kinds and amount of fertilizer. Also, strategic management program must be selectively employed according to sports turf soil systems.

The Government is trying to increase total food grain yield to meet national self sufficiency by means of increasing unit yield as well as extending crop land, and this year he set the target of 321,000 hectare of forest to clear for cropping. This study was carried to investigate the most efficient method of clearing hillock by bulldozer, and successful method to develope yielding potential of newly cleared land in short term. Since the conventional land clearing method is just earth leveling and root removing neglecting top soil treatment, the growth of crop was poor and farmer tends not to care the land. The top-soil-furrowing method is applied through out this study, that is advantageous especially for the land having shallow top soil and low fertility like Korean forest. In this study, various operating method were tried to find out most efficient method separately in connection with the land slope less than 25 percent and over, and several fertilizing methods to develop yielding potential. The results are as follows; 1) For the natural land slope utilization method, applicable to the land having less than 25 percent slope, reverse operating was more efficient than using forward gear of bulldozer. The operating time was 3 hour 32 minutes and 36 seconds using forward gear was 2 hour 32 minutes and 30 seconds for reverse gear operation per 1,000 square meter. 2) Bulldozer having angle blade adjustment needed 7hr 15min. for constructing of terrace per 10a compaire with the one having angle & tilt adjustment needed 6hr 4min for same operations. Specially there is significant difference for operation time of first period (earth cutting) such as bulldozer having angle blade adjustment needed 3hr 56min compaired with the one having angle & tilt adjustment 3hr 59min. In construction of terrace, the bull-dozer having tilting and angle blade adjustment was most suitable and performed efficiently. 3) For the fertilizer application treatment, the grass (Ladino clover) yield in first year was almost same as ordinary field's in the plot applied(N.P.K+lime+manure) while none fertilizer plot showed one tenth of it, and (N.P.K.+lime) applied plot yielded on third. 4) The effect of different land clearing method to yield showed significant difference between each treatment especially in the first year, and the conventional method was the lowest. In the second year, still conventional terracing plot yielded only half of ordinary field while the other plots showed as same as ordinary field's. 5) The downward top soil treatment plot showed most rapid improvement in soil structure during one year physio chemically, it showed increase in pH rate and organic composition, and the soil changed gradually from loam to sand-loam and the moisture content increased against the pF rate, and it gives good condition to grow hay due to the increase of field water capacity with higher available water content. 6) Since the soil of tested area was granite, the rate of soil errosion was increased about 2 to 5 percent influencing in soil structure more sand reducing clay content, and an optimum contour farming method should be prepared as a counter measure of errosion.
