To reveal effects of gamma-irradiation with various doses on the expressions of C4H and F5H genes, the transcription levels of OsC4HL and OsF5HL were investigated in leaves and stems of two rice cultivars, Ilpoombyeo and IR-29, after the irradiation with 5, 10, 50, or 100 Gy for 4 h. In overall pattern of 24 h after the irradiation, the transcription levels of the two genes increased with the increasing doses of radiation in the leaves of both cultivars, except that of OsC4HL in IR-29. However, in the stems, the transcription level of OsF5HL increased in Ilpoombyeo and decreased in IR-29 dose-dependently, while that of OsC4HL decreased in Ilpoombyeo with the increasing doses of radiation and remained constant in IR-29. When the expressions of OsC4HL and OsF5HL were investigated in a time-course after the irradiation with 100 Gy, they reached their highest levels in the leaves of both cultivars 5 hand 72 h after the irradiation, respectively. Therefore, we suggest that the expressions of OsC4HL and OsF5HL, which involved in the same phenylpropanoid pathway, are differentially regulated during the post-irradiation period, showing different cultivar and tissue specificity. Furthermore, the dose dependency of the gene expressions is also discussed immediately after the irradiation.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the processing adaptability of Jeung-pyun. We used rice materals that were developed domestically for improving the utilization of rice. Six cultivars (Ilpoombyeo, Hwasungbyeo, Dasanbyeo, Daeribbyeo 1, Hyangmibyeo 1, Hyangmibyeo 2) of rice were used for making Jeung-pyun. In physicochemical properties of rice, Hwasungbyeo had the highest amylose content (20.4%) and Hyangmibyeo 2 had the lowest one(14.9%). Lipid content was 0.23%(Daeribbyeo 1)-0.43%(Ilpoombyeo), protein content was 7.94%(Ilpoombyeo) -8.43%(Dasanbyeo), and ash content was 0.15%(Hyangmibyeo 2)-1.24% (Daeribbyeo 1). In volume and specific volume of the 3 hour fermented Jeung-pyuns, Ilpoombyeo, Hwasungbyeo, Hyangmibyeo 2 were higher, but in the 7 hour fermented Jeung-pyuns, Dasanbyeo, Daeribbyeo 1, Hyangmibyeo 1 were higher, In the sensory evaluation of the test Jeung-pyuns, the overall quality of the 3 hour fermented Jeung-pyuns was not significantly different among the rice cultivars, whereas in the 7 hour fermented Jeung-pyuns Hyangmibyeo 2 had the lowest values. When the 7 hour fermented Jeung-pyuns were stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$, the hardness and brittleness of Jeung-pyuns were respectively increased, the cohesiveness was respectively decreased. The elasticity was not significantly different among the rice cultivars with storage days, and the gumminess was significantly difference between rice cultivars, respectively increasing during storage, but Hyangmibyeo 2 was the lowest, not increased. In insturmental characteristics of Jeung-pyuns, the hardness was correlated with amylose content and the brittleness and gumminess were highly correlated with the hardness.

To investigate the absorption and transfer factor(TF) of Sr-85 by rice(Oryza sativa L.), experiments were carried out through pot cultivations on a sandy-loam soil treated 74 and 222Bq per gram of soil in a plastic film house. Sr-85 absorption rates of Ilpoombyeo, late maturing variety and Odaebyeo, early maturing variety, at harvesting stage, were 0.39-0.43% and 0.66-0.73%, respectively. Sr-85 absorption rates of Odaebyeo were about 1.5 times higher than those of Ilpoombyeo. Ratios of Sr-85 radiation and Sr-85 concentration in brown rice were much lower compared with those in straw and husk. Sr-85 concentrations in each part of Odaebyeo were remarkably higher than those of Ilpoombyeo. Transfer factor of Sr-85 from soil to plant ranged from 0.037 of brown rice to 4.13 of rice straw at harvesting stage. The order of the Sr-85 transfer factor in plant parts was straw>husk>brown rice. Sr-85 concentrations treated in soil had no effect on the growth and yield of rice.

We investigated relations between physiological damages and gene expression and enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) isoenzymes in leaves of rice (Oriza sativa L. cv. Ilpoombyeo) plants irradiated with a high-dose gamma-ray. Gamma-irradiation with 500 Gy caused significant decreases in the contents of protein, chlorophyll and carotenoid in the rice leaves by 24 h, especially reducing the chlorophyll contents up to 26% relative to the control. In contrast, gene expressions of SOD isoenzymes were kept higher in the irradiated leaves until 24 h after the irradiation than in the control and they started to noticeably decrease at 48 h, finally being lower in the irradiated leaves at 72 h than in the control. In the case of enzyme activities of SOD isoenzymes, some CuZn-SOD isoenzymes showed slightly increased activities until 48 h after the irradiation but at 72 h, all isoenzyme activities markedly decreased in the irradiated leaves below the control levels. In conclusion, 500 Gy gamma-irradiation used in the current study caused decreases in the contents of protein, chlorophyll and carotenoid as symptoms for physiological damages. Although such physiological damages were not directly related to the gene expressions and enzyme activities of SOD isoenzymes until 24 h after the irradiation, the damages at 72 h were reasonably attributable to their reduction.
