국내 배추좀나방(Plutella xylostella) 집단은 피레스로이드 농약에 대해서 저항성을 보이며, 이는 이 살충제의 작용점인 소듐이온채널 유전자의 돌연변이에 기인된다. 더욱이 배추좀나방은 대부분 상용화된 살충제에 대해서 저항성을 발달시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 배추좀나방을 효과적으로 방제하기 위해 내부기생성 천적인 프루텔고치벌(Cotesia plutellae)과 미생물농약인 Bacillus thuringiensis의 혼합처리 기술을 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 프루텔고치벌이 감수성과 저항성 배추좀나방에 대한 기생 선호성에 차등이 있는 지 조사하기 위해 다섯 개 서로 다른 집단에 대해서 살충제 감수성과 프루텔고치벌 기생성 차이를 비교하였다. 이들 배추좀나방 집단들은 피레스로이드, 유기인계, 네오니코틴계 및 곤충성장조절제를 포함하는 세 종류의 상용 살충제에 대한 약제 감수성에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 그러나 이들 집단들은 프루텔고치벌에 의한 기생률에서는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 더욱이 기생된 배추좀나방은 B. thuringiensis에 대해서 감수성이 증가되었다. 프루텔고치벌이 갖는 면역억제인자 가운데 바이러스 유래 ankyrin 유전자(vankyrin)를 비기생된 배추좀나방에 발현시켰다. Vankyrin의 발현은 배추좀나방 3령충의 B. thuringiensis에 대한 감수성을 현격하게 증가시켰다. 즉, 프루텔고치벌에 의해 야기된 면역저하가 B. thuringiensis의 살충력을 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 프루텔고치벌과 미생물농약인 B. thuringiensis의 혼합처리가 살충제 저항성 배추좀나방을 효과적으로 방제할 수 있다고 제시하고 있다.

In biological cell manipulation, manual thrust or penetration of an injection pipette into an egg is currently performed by a skilled operator, relying only on visual feedback information. Massive load of various micro injection of either genes, fluid or cells in the postgenomic era calls a more reliable and automatic micro injection system that can test hundreds of genes or cell types at a single experiment. We initiated to study cellular force sensing in zebrafish eggs as the first step for the development of a more controllable micro injection system by any inexperienced operator. Zebrafish eggs at different developmental stages were collected and an integrated biomanipulation system was employed to measure cellular force during penetrating the egg envelope, the chorion. First of all, the biomanipulation system integrated with cellular force sensing instrument is implemented to measure the penetration force of cell membranes and characterize mechanical properties of zebrafish embryo cells. Furthermore, implementation of cellular force sensing system and calibration are presented. Finally, the cellular force sensing of penetrating cell membranes at each developmental stages was experimentally performed. The results demonstrated that the biomanipulation system with force sensing capability can measure cellular force at real-time while the injection operation is undergoing. The magnitude of the measured force was in the range of several hundreds of uN. The precise real-time measurement should provide the first step forwards for the development of an automatic and reliable injection system of various materials into biological cells.

벼멸구(Nilaparvata lugens)는 아시아의 중요한 벼해충이다. 현재의 방제법은 주로 살충제와 저항성 품종에 의존하고 있다. 한국에서의 가장 중요한 생물적 방제인자는 자연 발생하고 있는 mermithid선충의 한종인 Agamermis unka로 생각된다. 벼멸구에의 기생율이 비록 장소와 해에 따라 변이가 높다하더라도 Mermithid 선충은 기주의 생식력을 감소할 뿐만아니라결과적으로 기주티사를 가져오기 때문에 전망이 밝은 생물적 방제인자이다. Mermithid 선충은 벼멸구가 년 3~4년세대를 경과하는데 비하여년 1세대를 나나 Mermithid선충 암컷은 일시에 산란을 하지 않기 때문에 전세대의 많은 벼멸구가 기생된다. 본 Mermithid선충은 완전기생충으로 대량생산 기술이 아직 개발되지 않아 개체군 억제를위한 증대법을 단지 제한적인 범위에서 가능하다. 그러나 재배적 방법이나 저항성 품종의 이용, 살충제와의 혼용을 통한 자연발생 선충 개체군을 보존함으로서 효과적인 벼멸구의 종합방제를 이룰 수 있다.

Background: Parthenium hysterophorus is a noxious invasive weed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including Nepal. Among 11 species of biological control agents released to control P. hysterophorus in Ausrtalia, winter rust Puccina abrupta var. partheniicola arrived fortuitously and has established in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, nearly a decade back. However, the prevalence and effectiveness of this rust as a biological control agent in Kathmandu remain unknown. To address this knowledge gap, a roadside survey was done at an interval of 2 ± 0.25 km in Kathmandu Valley to assess the P. abrupta var. partheniicola incidence and its impacts on P. hysterophorus. Infested individuals of P. hysterophorus were further divided into four severity classes (very low, low, medium, and high), and rust incidence was calculated. The impact of the winter rust on the growth of P. hysterophorus was assessed by comparing biomass and seed output of infested and non-infested individuals. Results: Among 81 locations where P. hysterophorus was present in the Kathmandu Valley, winter rust infestation was observed at 98% locations. At some locations within Kathmandu Valley such as Tinkune, Kirtipur, Chabahil, Buddha Chowk, and Dhobighat, the impacts of the rust on P. hysterophorus were medium to high. Aboveground biomass and seed output of P. hysterophorus were reduced by 47% and 73%, respectively, due to winter rust infestation. The study indicates that winter rust incidence is widespread in Kathmandu Valley with very low to high levels of damages to P. hysterophorus depending on the localities. Conclusion: The rust has, therefore, a potential to reduce the growth performance of P. hysterophorus, and it can be used as a component of integrated management of P. hysterophorus by introducing to other suitable areas in Nepal.

In reality, it is a green revolution of the entire agricultural matrix in Korea that integrated pest control plays an important role in the possible breakthrough in rice self-sufficiency. In paddy agroecosystem as man-modified environment, rice is newly established every year by transplantation under diverse water regimes which affect a microclimate. Standing water benefits rice by regulating the microclimate, but it favors the multiplication of certain pets through the amelioration of the microclimate. Further, the introduction of high yielding varieties with the changing of cultural practices results in changing occurrence pattern of certain pests. In general, japonica type varieties lack genes resistant to most of the important pests and insect-borne virus diseases, whereas indica type possesses more genes conferring varietal resistance. Thus, this differences among indica type, form the background of different approaches to pest management. The changes in rice cultivation such as double cropping, growing high-yielding varieties requiring heavy fertilization, earlier transplanting, intensvie-spacing transplanting, and intensive pesticide use as a consequence of the adoption of improves rice production technology, have intensified the pest problems rather than reduced them. The cultivation of resistant varieties are highly effective to the pest, their long term stability is threathened because of the development of new biotypes which can detroy these varieties. So far, three biotypes of N. lugens are reported in Korea. Since each resistant variety is expected to maintain several years the sequential release of another new variety with a different gene at intervals is practised as a gene rotation program. Another approach, breeding multilines that have more than two genes for resistance in a variety are successfully demonstrated. The average annual rice losses during the last 15 years of 1977-’91 are 9.3% due to insect pests without chemical control undertaken, wehreas there is a average 2.4% despite farmers’insecticide application at the same period. In other words, the average annual losses are prvented by 6.9% when chemical control is properly employed. However, the continuous use of a same group of insecticides is followed by the development of pest resistance. Resistant development of C. suppressalis, L. striatellus and N. cincticeps is observed to organophosphorous insecticides by the mid-1960s, and to carbamates by the early 1970s in various parts of the country. Thus, it is apparent that a scheduled chemical control for rice production systems becomes uneconomical and that a reduction in energy input without impairing the rice yield, is necessarily improved through the implementation of integrated pest management systems. Nationwide pest forecasting system conducted by the government organization is a unique network of investigation for purpose of making pest control timely in terms of economic thresholds. A wise plant protection is expected to establish pest management systems in appropriate integration of resistant varieties, biological agents, cultural practices and other measures in harmony with minimizing use of chemical applications as a last weapon relying on economic thresholds.

This study was carried out to provide fundamental data for reuse of resources and prevention of environmental pollution Actual states of environmental pollution by biological production facilities were investigated. Various pollution loads and quantity of wastes from greenhouse and animal housings estimated. In greenhouse contents of investigation were wastes of plastic cover, noise of heater and fan, air pollutant of heater, and wastes of soilless culture system, etc. In animal housings, those were actual state of livestock waste treatment and reuse, pollutant mass unit discharge, noise pollution, and malodorant, etc. The main pollutants discharged from greenhouses were wastes of plastic cover, rockwool, and waste fluid of nutrient solution. Developments of waste disposal methods for plastic cover and rockwool are required. And recycle technique of nutrient solution for soilless culture should be developed and propagated. With the buildup of legal control, pollutant mass discharged from livestock wastes are, on the decrease. The other side, reuse of livestock excreta increased. Most animal housings are located near the dwelling house. Malodorant and noise from animal housings have bad effects on the rural living conditions. So developments of integrated complex for small scale livestock farms are required.

Transgenic animal and cell line models which are recently developed in toxicology field combined with molecular biological technique, are powerful tools for studying of mutation in vivo and in vitro, respectively. The Big Blue mutagenesis assay system is one of the most widely used transgenic systems. Especially, for the study of direct acting mutagens, Big Blue cell line is very useful and powerful to evaluate mutagenicity because the mutation frequency and mutationspectrlun showed no distinct differences between cell line and animal. The Big Blue cell lines carry stably integrated copies of lambda shuttle vector containing lac I gene as a mutational target. These lambda shuttle vectors are useful for various mutagenesis related studies in eukaryotic system due to their ability to be exposed mutagen and then transfer a suitable target DNA sequence to it convenient organism for analysis. We tried to assess the mutagenic effect of 4-NQO with Big Blue cell line. After the treatment of 4-NQO, genomic DNA was isolated and lambda shuttle vector was packaged by in Vitro packaging and then these were plated on bacterial host in the presence of X-gal to screen mutation in the lac I. We determined MF as a ratio of blue plaques versus colorless plaques and now undergoing the mutation spectrum of 4-NQO in lac J gene sequence.

This paper provides an overview of system analysis of immunology. The theoretical research in this area is aimed at an understanding of the precise manner by which the immune system controls Infec pious diseases, cancer, and AIDS. This can provide a systematic plan for immunological experimentation by means of an integrated program of immune system analysis, mathematical modeling and computer simulation. Biochemical reactions and cellular fission are naturally modeled as nonlinear dynamical processes to synthesize the human immune system! as well as the complete organism it is intended to protect. A foundation for the control of tumors is presented, based upon the formulation of a realistic, knowledge based mathematical model of the interaction between tumor cells and the immune system. Ordinary bilinear differential equations which are coupled by such nonlinear term as saturation are derived from the basic physical phenomena of cellular and molecular conservation. The parametric control variables relevant to the latest experimental data are also considered. The model consists of 12 states, each composed of first-order, nonlinear differential equations based on cellular kinetics and each of which can be modeled bilinearly. Finally, tumor control as an application of immunotherapy is analyzed from the basis established.
