  • Himalayan dock (Rumex nepalensis) was evaluated for forage value and antinutrients under three, five and seven weeks cutting intervals in the temperate environment. Dry matter (DM) content was measured for each cutting interval. Forage quality parameters such as Crude Protein (CP), Acid Detergent fiber (ADF), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Calcium (Ca) and Phosphorus (P) were analyzed. Plants with seven weeks cutting interval gave higher DM yield. CP and P content were significantly higher for three weeks cutting intervals. Average CP contents were 31.38 %, 30.73 % and 27.32 % and average P content 0.58 %, 0.52 % and 0.51 % for three, five and seven weeks cutting intervals, respectively. Ca content did not differ significantly between cutting intervals. The average Ca content were 0.91 %, 0.90 % and 90 %, for three, five and seven weeks cutting intervals, respectively. Tannin and mimosine contents were not significantly different between cutting intervals. Average tannin contents were 1.32 %, 1.27 % and 1.26 % and mimosine 0.38 %, 0.30 % and 0.28 % for three, five and seven weeks cutting intervals, respectively. The study concluded that R. nepalensis could be a potential source of protein for livestock. The study also suggests seven weeks harvesting interval to provide plants with high dry matter yield, high forage quality and very low levels of anti-nutrients.

  • The walls of all higher plants are organized as a cellulosic, fibrillar phase embedded in a matrix phase composed of non-cellulosic polysaccharides, some proteins and, in most secondary walls, lignin. At the effective utilization of plant biomass, qualitative and quantitative analyses of plant cell walls are essential. Structural features of individual components are being clarified using newly developed equipments and techniques. However, "empirical" procedures to elucidate plant cell walls, which are not due to scientific definition of components, are still applied in some fields. These procedures may give misunderstanding for the effective utilization of plant biomass. In addition, interesting the investigation of wall organization is moving towards not only qualitatively characterisation, but also quantitation of the associations between wall components. These involve polysaccharide-polysaccharide and polysaccharide-lignin cross-links. Investigation of the associations is being done in order to understand the chemical structure, organization and biosynthesis of the cell wall and physiology of the plants. Procedures for qualitative and quantitative analyses based on the definition of cell wall components are reviewed focussing in nutritional elucidation of forage grasses by ruminant microorganisms.

  • Aluminum (Al) is one of the major factors adversely affects crop growth and productivity in acidic soils. In this study, the effect of Al on plants in soil was investigated by comparing the protein expression profiles of alfalfa roots exposed to Al stress treatment. Two-week-old alfalfa seedlings were exposed to Al stress treatment at pH 4.0. Total protein was extracted from alfalfa root tissue and analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis combined with MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. A total of 45 proteins differentially expressed in Al stress-treated alfalfa root tissues were identified, of which 28 were up-regulated and 17 were down-regulated. Of the differentially expressed proteins, 7 representative proteins were further confirmed for transcript accumulation by RT-PCR analysis. The identified proteins were involved in several functional categories including disease/defense (24%), energy (22%), protein destination (9%), metabolism (7%), transcription (5%), secondary metabolism (4%), and ambiguous classification (29%). The identification of key candidate genes induced by Al in alfalfa roots will be useful to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of Al stress tolerance in alfalfa plants.

  • Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is a serious limitation for agricultural production. In this study, we explored tolerance mechanism associated with Cd toxicity tolerance in alfalfa plants. We used three distinct alfalfa cultivars M. sativa cv. Vernal, M. sativa cv. Zhung Mu, and M. sativa cv. Xing Jiang Daye in this study. Cd showed declined chlorophyll score in Xing Jiang Daye compared with Zhung Mu and Vernal. No significant change observed among the cultivars for root and shoot length. Atomic absorption spectroscopy analysis demonstrated a significant accumulation of Cd, Fe, S and PC in distinct alfalfa cultivars. However, Zhung Mu and Xing Jiang Daye declined Cd accumulation in root, where Fe, S and PC incremented only in Zhung Mu. It suggests that excess Cd in Zhung Mu possibly inhibited in root by the increased accumulation of Fe, S and PC. This was further confirmed by the response of Fe (MsIRT1) and S transporters (MsSULTR1;2 and MsSULTR1;3), and MsPCS1 genes associated with Fe, S and PC availability and translocation in roots and shoots. It suggests that specially the transcript signal inducing the responses to adjust Cd especially in Zhung Mu. This finding provides the essential background for further molecular breeding program for forage crops.

  • Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) is a very outstanding material crop with high protein and oil contents. We conducted this study to evaluate forage value and usability of soybean varieties as livestock forage. Three soybeans cultivars, OT93-26, Geomjeongsaeol, and Pungwon, were evaluated for forage use in this study, and Kwangpyeongok and Yeongwoo were used as check forage corn and rice, respectively. The whole soybean plants were harvested at the R5 (beginning seed development)- and R6 (full seed)-reproductive stages for analyzing forage usability and quality. Days to harvesting of the R5 stage-OT93-26 was the shortest among the tested crops while that of Yeongwoo was 122 days. The fresh and dry matter yields of all 3 soybeans were greater at R6 stage than at R5. Crude protein of the soybean cultivars harvested had a higher compared to the rice and corn regardless of the harvesting stage. Contents of crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber of Yeongwoo had the lowest whereas Pungwon harvested at R5 were the highest. Among the soybeans, digestible dry matter, dry matter intake, and relative feed value of R6-harvested Geomjeongsaeol and Pungwon were high more compared to those at the R5-harvested, but in case of OT93-26 those at R6 stage were inversely measured rather than those at R5 stage. In conclusion, soybean can be used as s forage with high nutritive value for livestock. Moreover, Geomjeongsaeol can be applied to develop new forage soybean varieties with high nutritive value, and R6 stage is the optimum harvesting stage in yield and quality of the tested soybeans more than R5.

  • 유채(Brassica napus L.)에서 황 결핍이 $NO_3^-$ 흡수와 동화에 대한 영향을 알아보고자 $SO_4^{2-}$ 농도를 세가지 수준(1 mM $SO_4^{2-}$, 대조구; 0.1mM $SO_4^{2-}$, 결핍; 0 mM $SO_4^{2-}$, 무공급)으로 25시간 처리한 후 $NO_3^-$ 흡수량, 식물조직내의 nitrate reductase (NR) 및 glutamine syntheetase (GS) 활성을 분석하였다. 25시간 처리과정에서 황결핍 조건하에서의 $NO_3^-$의 흡수는 대조구와 큰 차이를 나타내지 않은 반면, 황 무공급구에서는 $NO_3^-$의 흡수는 유의적으로 감소하였다. NR 활성은 잎과 뿌리 조직에서 공히 $SO_4^{2-}$ 농도가 감소됨에 따라 감소하였다. 특히 어린잎과 중간 잎의 황 결핍 처리구에서 각각 35% 및 황 무공급구에서 70%의 뚜렸한 감소를 보였다. 뿌리에서는 오직 황 무공급구에서 유의적인 감소 (-29%)를 보였다. $SO_4^{2-}$ 농도에 따른 잎 조직에서 GS 활성은 잎의 성숙 정도에 따라 차이를 보였으며, 전반적으로 황 결핍과 황 무공급구에서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 뿌리조직에서 GS 활성은 황 무공급구에서만 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 이러한 결과들은 황 공급이 제한을 받는 조건에서 질산염의 흡수가 감소되며, 식물조직체내의 질산염환원과 아미노산 합성관련 효소의 활성이 제한을 받았다는 것을 보여준다.

  • 본 연구는 비소오염토양에 볏짚퇴비 시용량 증대가 토양의 화학성, 벼의 생육 특성 그리고 식물체의 비소함량에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 비소오염토양 중 볏짚퇴비 시용량이 증가하면서 벼 생육단계(분얼기, 출수기 및 수확기) 모두에서 지상부 비소함량 및 축적량은 감소되었다. 결과적으로 비소오염토양에 볏짚퇴비의 시용에 따른 토양교질 내의 다양한 음전하가 증가되고, 이로 인하여 비소의 흡착능력이 향상됨으로써 토양에서 벼 식물체로의 흡수 및 축적량을 감소시키는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 비소오염토양에 볏짚퇴비의 시용은 벼 지상부로의 비소흡수·축적을 감소시키는 하나의 요인이 될 수 있으며, 안전한 농산물 및 가축의 조사료 생산을 위한 벼 재배관리에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
