Thunberg fritillary (Fritillaria thunbergii), a perennial used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is a members of the family Liliaceae. The degeneration of germplasm is a severe problem in the production of Fritillaria thunbergii var. chekiangensis. However, no information about viral infections of F. thunbergii var. chekiangensis has been reported. In this study, we sequenced the small RNAs of F. thunbergii var. chekiangensis from leaves and bulbs, and viruses were identified using a phylogenetic analysis and BLAST search for sequence. In addition, multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to rapidly detect viruses in this variety. Our study first reported that five viruses infected F. thunbergii var. chekiangensis. Among them, fritillary virus Y (FVY), lily mottle virus (LMoV), Thunberg fritillary mosaic virus (TFMV), and hop yellow virus (HYV) had been reported in F. thunbergii, while apple stem grooving virus was first reported in the genus Fritillaria. A multiplex RT-PCR method was developed to rapidly test the four viruses FVY, LMoV, TFMV, and HYV in F. thunbergii var. chekiangensis. Our results provide a better understanding of the infection of F. thunbergii var. chekiangensis by viruses and a basic reference for the better design of suitable control measures.

우리나라는 그 동안 국토를 이용하고 관리함에 있어 생태적 계획에 입각한 지속가능한 보전 및 관리보다는 효율성과 경제성을 중심으로 한 개발지향적 논리에 초점을 맞춤으로써 국토 환경보전에 커다란 기여를 하고 있는 농경지 및 산지면적이 지속적으로 감소하고 있는 추세이다. 지역생태계의 가치에 대한 생태학적 인식이 부족한 가운데 이루어진 일련의 지속적인 개발압력은 자연환경의 자정능력을 초과하는 환경압력으로 작용함에 따라 지역생태계의 건전한 물질순환과 에너지 흐름에 부정적인 결과를 초래하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 물환경 문제해결을 위한 공간단위로서의 유역개념이 아닌 생태계를 평가하고 관리할 수 있는 공간 단위개념으로서 유역을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 경관요소가 혼재하고 있는 낙동강 유역권을 대상으로 경관구성 요소 중 토지이용을 중심으로 공간분석기법을 활용하여 서로 유사한 패턴을 보이는 유형으로 분류하고, 각 유형별 지역에 대한 특징을 분석하였다.

This research was completed to provide fundamental data regarding the guidelines to installing and managing utility facilities & structures in wetland protected area to advance the functions and sustainable use of ecology services by preserving the ecology within wetland protected area. There were 5 on-site researching areas that were used as the main subject with these areas chosen and considered from 21 inland wetlands that have been designated and are being managed from the Ministry of Environment and by their designated dates as a wetland protected area. The utility facilities in these wetland areas were categorized by their types and a detailed on-site investigation was proceeded with investigation items chosen whereas these facilities are working by their roles from their location, size, used materials, types, information contents and etc., The results showed that regarding informational structures, several locations of information boards were distanced from the main exploring routes which did not consider the visitor's eye level which had their readability dropped and by sunlight, time lapse and water penetration, many information boards were damaged or corrupted so that it was hard to confirm the information noticed or understanding an image. Insufficient observation and educational structures were installed that considered the ecological characteristics of wild animals and their living conditions. Regarding convenience facilities, there were parking lots that were installed on the fore-land and to decrease non-point solution sources, some parking lots needed to be located in protected lowlands while some facilities' shape and colors did not harmonize with their natural surroundings, creating a sense of awareness, which will need some more consideration. As for safety facilities, they were very insufficient compared to other facilities. This means that additional safety structures are needed so that related personnel can be aware of where a visitor is located when an accident occurs. Protectional facilities strongly needed new structures and a management system to cut off entrances and do surveillance so that visitors do not go into areas outside of the managed areas and bring damages to restricted locations. Research labs needed to expand the use of automatic weather systems and water gauge equipments to build fundamental data regarding floodgates that are intimated to the forming of wetlands. Sensor cameras and other types of monitoring systems are needed to monitor the majority types of animals living in the wetlands as well.

일반적으로 유전자를 재조합하는 생명공학기술이 널리 이용되고 있는 것은 유전자변형 작물 분야이다. LM 제품에 대한 의존도가 높아짐에 따라 한국에서는 LMO의 안전성에 대한 우려가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 우리는 자연환경 내 비의도적으로 방출된 LMO를 판별할 수 있는 검출기법을 확립하였다. JRC 정보를 토대로 6개 LM 이벤트(캐놀라 1, 옥수수 1, 콩 4개)의 유전자를 검출할 수 있는 PCR 조건을 확립하였다. 각 LM 시료에서 genomic DNA를 분리하였고, 이벤트 특이적인 프라이머를 사용하여 PCR 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 자체적으로 확립된 검출법에 의해 모든 LMO의 이벤트 특이적 유전자가 검출되었다. LM 유전자의 삽입 위치를 분석하기 위해 PCR 생성물을 이용하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. 이 결과는 LM 이벤트의 특이적인 유전자를 효율적으로 검출할 수 있음을 나타낸다. 게다가 본 연구결과 확립된 검출기법은 자연환경 내 LM 작물의 모니터링 및 사후 관리에 활용될 것이다.
